© 2018 Australian Feminist Law Journal Inc. In this article, we revisit our co-authored book, Subversive Sites. We explore both what we might have done differently with explicit attention to postcolonial theory, queer theory and neoliberal critiques and what part of the analysis still has traction. We then consider three legal interventions related to violence against women: sexual harassment, domestic violence and rape. We ask two questions: (1) What would the theoretical analysis from Subversive Sites reveal in relation to each of these legal engagements? (2) How would attention to the postcolonial, the carceral and the sexual reveal what we might not have seen from with the Subversive Sites lens?.
