Anthropol. 2008. 37:283–99 First published online as a Review in Advance on  June 18, 2008  The Annual Review of Anthropology  is online at anthro.annualreviews.org  This article’ s doi: 10.1146/annurev.anthro.36.081406.094430 Copyright  c  2008 by Annual Reviews.  All rights reserved 0084-6570/08/1021-0283$20.00 Key Words contract, consent, militarization, sexuality, domestic  Abstract  This review examines the interlocking of violence, gender , and sub-  jectivity within the overarching framework of the sexualization of the social contract. T racking the question of gendered belonging to the na- tion state, the article discusses the anthropological literature along with feminist and critical theory to shed light on the relation between re- production and death as a way of giving life to the nation-state. Sexual and reproductive violence are closely linked to the social and cultural imaginaries of order and disorder; and violence, far from being an in- terruption of the ordinary, is folded into the ordinary. 283 Click here for quick links to Annual Reviews content online, including: Other articles in this volume  Top cited articles  Top downloaded articles • Our comprehensive search Further ANNUAL REVIEWS    A   n   n   u  .    R   e   v  .    A   n    t    h   r   o   p   o    l  .    2    0    0    8  .    3    7   :    2    8    3      2    9    9  .    D   o   w   n    l   o   a    d   e    d    f   r   o   m    w   w   w  .   a   n   n   u   a    l   r   e   v    i   e   w   s  .   o   r   g     A   c   c   e   s   s   p   r   o   v    i    d   e    d    b   y    U   n    i   v   e   r   s    i    d   a    d   e    F   e    d   e   r   a    l    d   o    R    i   o    d   e    J   a   n   e    i   r   o   o   n    0    5    /    2    2    /    1    5  .    F   o   r   p   e   r   s   o   n   a    l   u   s   e   o   n    l   y  .
