Abstract

This chapter deals with the early phase of the mobilization against rape and pornography in France and Norway. It outlines the historical context of those issues as social phenomena, including in the judicial system, showing how the different contexts impacted the way in which the women’s liberation movements framed these issues. Identifying rape and pornography as gender-political problems began inside the women’s liberation movements, but movement activists soon began to communicate explicitly to the outside world that sexual exploitation of women is a political problem. They took advantage of various strategies of legitimization that could appeal to the left, such as framing rape as a form of imperialism or fascism, or pornography as capitalist exploitation.

The penalty in the city Court of 16 June 1967 was a symbolic 100 NOK fine for Bjørneboe and 10,000 NOK for the publisher, in addition to the legal expenses and cost of confiscation of the books. Both the defendants and the prosecution appealed the verdict, and when the case was settled in the Supreme Court on 15 December 1967, the penalty was raised to 1000 NOK for Bjørneboe and 50,000 for the publisher, in addition to the legal fees and costs of confiscation.

    “Jag är nyfiken—en film i gult” [I Am Curious (Yellow)], from 1967, was directed by Vilgot Sjöman. The 1968 sequel, “Jag är nyfiken—en film i blått” [I Am Curious (Blue)], was recorded simultaneously. Lena Nyman played the lead role of a political agitator who exposed the Swedish “class society”—that is, a society in which the bourgeoisie exploits the working class.

    The designation of Grønseth as a Reichian refers to the fact that he was inspired by the theories of Wilhelm Reich (1897–1957), an Austrian doctor, psychotherapist, and student of Sigmund Freud. After the Nazi takeover in 1933, Reich fled from Germany. He spent some time in Norway, where his very radical ideas regarding sexual liberation influenced Norwegian intellectuals such as the author Sigurd Hoel and the psychiatrist Nic Waal.

    The publication was strongly inspired by the American collection of writings Notes from the Second Year: Women’s Liberation, which was published by the New York Radical Feminists the same year. The title “Women’s Liberation Year Zero” illustrates how, in 1970, the activists themselves believed they represented something completely new and had no relationship with the “shy and conformist” women in the established women’s movement up to that time.

    The idea of schizophrenia as a kind of authentic rebellion against a sick, authoritarian society echoes the view of the anti-psychiatry movement of the 1960s and 1970s.
