This paper analyses the visualisation of rape and sexual assault in legal and scholarly language. It begins with a critique of the Court of Appeal ruling inR v. Evans (Chedwyn)and its forensic examination of the details of a female rape complainant's consensual sexual activity with other men. The case is analysed in light of a visual metaphor used by Ellison and Munro to describe the removal of popular misconceptions about rape. The paper contextualises that discussion with reference to the idea of the male gaze and its affirmation of a phallocentric cultural and social world in which the objectification of female difference is entrenched. The paper finally challenges that assessment, however, sketching an alternative approach to visual-critical scholarship that embraces interdisciplinarity and a literary sensibility to break (or at least to loosen) the association between the prurient eye of the male voyeur and the criminal justice gaze.

Ched Evans，强奸神话和美杜莎的凝视：镜子和窗户的故事

本文分析了法律和学术语言中强奸和性侵犯的可视化。首先是对上诉法院裁决的批评R诉埃文斯（Chedwyn）以及对女性强奸申诉人与其他男性自愿发生性行为的细节进行法医检查。根据埃里森和芒罗使用的视觉隐喻来分析此案，以描述消除对强奸的普遍误解。本文将讨论与男性凝视的概念及其对男性中心文化和社会世界的肯定联系起来，在这种文化和社会世界中，女性差异的客观化根深蒂固。然而，该论文最终挑战了这一评估，勾勒出一种视觉批判学术的替代方法，该方法包含跨学科性和打破（或至少放松）男性偷窥者淫荡的眼睛与刑事司法凝视之间的联系的文学敏感性。
