By exploring the techniques used by authors of fiction to convey and represent the variant forms of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), my research aims to provide fresh literary and feminist insight into experiences that are not commonly represented in Western literature and understanding: abuse that does not include or involve unwanted touching, but which instead consists of exposure and harassment. In exploring these forms of CSA, I will advance current discussions within the trauma canon of feminist theory, and further develop trauma language frameworks pioneered by theorists such as Cathy Caruth.To achieve this aim, I will conduct a comparative analysis between texts that explore childhood or adolescent sexual violence - such as those by Sapphire, Roxane Gay, Emma Glass, Rebecca Watson and Edward St Aubyn - and feminist discourse and psychoanalysis, to seek out methods for use in my own writing, with a particular focus on the role of memory in realising trauma. My project will focus on these strands: a) memory creating trauma; b) mirroring trauma; and c) the language of trauma.

通过探索小说作者所用的技术传达和代表儿童性虐待的变异形式（CSA），我的研究旨在提供新的文学和女权主义洞察力，以了解西方文学和理解并不常见的经验：不包括或涉及不必要的感人，但由曝光和曝光组成。在探索这些形式的CSA时，我将在女权主义理论的创伤典范中进行当前的讨论，并进一步发展由凯西·卡特（Cathy Caruth）等理论家开创的创伤语言框架。为了实现这一目标，我将在探索儿童期或青少年性暴力之间进行比较分析，例如sapphen，sapphire，sapphire，roxane glaply and emma glaply，emma glaply，emma glaply，emma glaply，emma glaply and emma glably，女权主义的话语和精神分析，寻找在我自己的写作中使用的方法，特别关注记忆在实现创伤中的作用。我的项目将重点放在这些方面：a）记忆产生创伤； b）镜像创伤； c）创伤的语言。
