This article examines how historical contexts affect the recollection of experiences of rape. We reanalyze sexual autobiographies that were gathered in Finland in 1992 in a sex research project called FINSEX. To illustrate how the time of the rape as well as the time it is recalled shape the possibilities of narrating a life story, we present a close reading of four autobiographies that we place in the context of the collection as a whole, and compare our analysis of the autobiographies to their interpretation in the FINSEX study. The narrative elements of the autobiographies reflect the violent experiences in complex and layered ways. For the authors of these autobiographies, temporal changes in cultural and social understandings of sexual violence enable the reinterpreting of life events and the naming of previously unnamed experiences.

本文探讨了历史背景如何影响强奸经历的回忆。我们对在1992年在芬兰进行的一项名为FINSEX的性研究项目中收集的性自传进行了重新分析。为了说明强奸事件的时间以及召回事件的时间如何塑造讲述人生故事的可能性，我们仔细阅读了四个自传，将它们放在整个收藏中，并比较了我们的分析自传对他们在FINSEX研究中的解释。自传的叙事元素以复杂和分层的方式反映了暴力经历。对于这些自传的作者而言，对性暴力的文化和社会理解的时空变化使得人们能够重新诠释生活事件并命名以前未提及的经历。
