Angela Koch presents here a comprehensive reflection on the representability of sexual violence in the visual media: film, TV and photography. By juxtaposing theoretical positions of poststructuralism with concrete analyses of films and images, she highlightens the fact that the audio-visualisation of sexual violence has its limits. Producing and reproducing aesthetic conventions creates a standardized knowledge about sexual violence that fosters and perpetuates the hegemonic gender order. While also dealing with transgressive moments of representability, the main focus of this study is to criticize the gender relation as conveyed in the media: as a relation of violence.
