Despite the wide repository of knowledge about conflict-related sexual violence that now exists, there remains a lack of understanding about how victims/survivors of such violence themselves make sense of and frame their experiences in conversation with global and local discourses and with the categorisations that underpin support programmes. Such sense-making is important not only because the ways in which violence is categorised shape a victim/survivor's ability to access particular forms of recognition and support, but also because it is central in how shattered selves and worlds are remade in the aftermath of violence. Drawing on individual and group interviews conducted with refugees living in Kampala, Uganda, this article charts how framings of ‘torture’ and ‘sexual violence’ become meaningful in participants’ accounts in the (re)formation of themselves as subjects after violent victimisation. We trace how participants navigate the heteronormative societal and legal norms that shape their subjectivity and the effects of the violence they experienced through the deeply gendered and political work that these terms do in their narratives. Our analysis thus highlights and reminds us to pay attention to the political stakes involved in fluid processes of categorising injury.

战争和冲突中的酷刑和性暴力：暴力主体的解构和重塑

尽管现在存在与冲突有关的性暴力的广泛知识库，但对于此类暴力的受害者/幸存者自己如何在与全球和地方话语的对话以及与支持支持计划。这种意义建构很重要，不仅因为对暴力进行分类的方式塑造了受害者/幸存者获得特定形式的认可和支持的能力，而且还因为它对于如何在暴力之后重建破碎的自我和世界至关重要. 根据对生活在乌干达坎帕拉的难民进行的个人和团体访谈，这篇文章描绘了“酷刑”和“性暴力”的框架如何在参与者的叙述中变得有意义，以帮助他们在遭受暴力侵害后将自己（重新）形成为主体。我们追溯参与者如何驾驭异性恋的社会和法律规范，这些规范塑造了他们的主观性，以及他们通过这些术语在他们的叙述中所做的深刻的性别和政治工作所经历的暴力的影响。因此，我们的分析强调并提醒我们注意伤害分类的流动过程所涉及的政治风险。我们追溯参与者如何驾驭异性恋的社会和法律规范，这些规范塑造了他们的主观性，以及他们通过这些术语在他们的叙述中所做的深刻的性别和政治工作所经历的暴力的影响。因此，我们的分析强调并提醒我们注意伤害分类的流动过程所涉及的政治风险。我们追溯参与者如何驾驭异性恋的社会和法律规范，这些规范塑造了他们的主观性，以及他们通过这些术语在他们的叙述中所做的深刻的性别和政治工作所经历的暴力的影响。因此，我们的分析强调并提醒我们注意伤害分类的流动过程所涉及的政治风险。
