This paper examines the representation of trauma recovery in the television series I May Destroy You ( 2020 ). Research on rape in fictional television programmes overwhelmingly focus on rape myths or how rape is represented. There is scant research on recovery from rape trauma in television drama. This paper contributes to scholarship on rape in fictional television, through a focus on the process of trauma recovery. Michaela Coel’s portrayal of the struggle to recover from the traumatic experience of sexual assault, makes a nuanced contribution to debates on sexual violence, victim behaviour, and black British identity.

受害者行为和创伤恢复：在 Michaela Coel 的《I May Destroy You》中通过幻想表现英国黑人女性气质


本文研究了电视连续剧《我可能会毁了你》（2020 年）中创伤恢复的表现。虚构电视节目中关于强奸的研究绝大多数集中在强奸神话或强奸的表现方式上。关于电视剧中强奸创伤恢复的研究很少。本文通过关注创伤恢复过程，为虚构电视中强奸的学术研究做出了贡献。米凯拉·科尔 （Michaela Coel） 描绘了从性侵犯的创伤经历中恢复过来的挣扎，为关于性暴力、受害者行为和英国黑人身份的辩论做出了微妙的贡献。
