I write in solidarity with Chrystul Kizer, a criminalized Black teen survivor of sexual violence in Wisconsin, to detail how her ongoing legal fight occurs in a tilted sociopolitical and epistemological landscape with weighted opponents. I offer a theory of disparate failures of knowledge-attribution for survivors of sexual violence, a structural epistemological problem that I call constructed pragmatic encroachment (CPE). CPE explains that pragmatic encroachment is a nonneutral knowledge-attribution problem whereby attributors are empowered to affirm or deny a subject's knowledge-claim based on the subject's constructed practical stakes. Constructed practical stakes here refers to the potential costs/consequences of acting on knowledge of some p for some subject, “S,” constructed by their practical environment. Examining CPE in Kizer's self-defense case, I highlight why real-world pragmatic encroachment is exceptionally alarming for survivors of sexual violence, especially criminalized survivors. The epistemological problem is not merely whether people in powerful positions are frequently fallible, but the convergence of sociopolitical and epistemic power to deny what survivors know about our own experiences of violence, and power to punish survivors for acting on what we know.

声援 Chrystul Kizer：关于知识归因的不同失败和性暴力幸存者

我写这篇文章是为了声援威斯康星州一名被定罪的性暴力黑人青少年幸存者克里斯图尔·凯泽 (Chrystul Kizer)，她详细描述了她正在进行的法律斗争是如何在一个倾斜的社会政治和认识论环境中与强大的对手进行的。我提出了一种关于性暴力幸存者知识归因的不同失败的理论，这是一个结构性认识论问题，我称之为建构的实用主义侵犯（CPE）。CPE 解释说，实用主义侵犯是一个非中立的知识归因问题，归因者有权根据主体构建的实际利害关系来肯定或否认主体的知识主张。构建实用的木桩这里指的是根据实际环境构建的某些主题“S”的某些 p 知识采取行动的潜在成本/后果。通过审视凯泽自卫案中的 CPE，我强调了为什么现实世界中的实用侵犯对于性暴力幸存者，尤其是被定罪的幸存者来说格外令人震惊。认识论问题不仅仅是身居高位的人是否经常犯错，而是社会政治和认识论的融合否认的权力幸存者对我们自己的暴力经历了解多少，以及惩罚的权力幸存者根据我们所知道的采取行动。
