摘要

Netflix的获奖喜剧《牢不可破的吉米·施密特》(2015-2019)在性暴力的表现方面开辟了新的领域。《牢不可破》重新调整了情景喜剧的能量，解决了创伤、记忆和见证的问题，帮助创造了一种新的类型美学。这部四季剧集复制了历史囚禁叙事和当代#MeToo运动的关键特征。忽略了囚禁和剥夺的奴隶叙事，使得该系列避开了性侵犯的种族化维度。故事对白人幸存者的坚定关注，使这部剧能够调动创伤来达到喜剧效果。

Whiteness Makes the Laughs Possible: A Sitcom’s Representations of Sexual Violence

The award winning, Netflix comedy Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (2015–2019) broke new ground in representations of sexual violence. Recalibrating the energies of the sitcom to address issues of trauma, memory and witnessing, Unbreakable has helped craft a new esthetic of the genre. The four-season series replicates key features of the historical captivity narrative and the contemporaneous #MeToo movement. Ignoring the slave narrative of captivity and dispossession allows the series to sidestep the racialized dimensions of sexual assault. The narrative’s resolute focus on white survivors permits the series to mobilize trauma for comedic effect.
