Yes, that is indeed a distinction that can be made, but in practice I don't think it is - which is my fear. Quoting from the article: "However, the student said her professor focused on the beauty of the language and the splendor of the imagery when lecturing on the text. As a result, the student completely disengaged from the class discussion as a means of self-preservation. She did not feel safe in the class." For this student, it seems like they aren't able to disengage from the triggering sections or treat the discussion as an academic exercise. Even with the replacement of visceral passages (an accommodation I think is quite reasonable for those students who need it), it seems like this student would still not be able to see anything but the rape. This is certainly understandable, but being able to break something and examine it with different lenses is a key part of studying texts and an important life skill.
