Sexual and Gender-based Violence and Reparative Aesthetics in Visual Productions

Michela Villani, HES-SO – School of Social Work Fribourg

Based on her previous research, Michela Villani will revisit the notion of “reparation” as expressed by women who have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM) and who undertake a course of clitoral reconstruction. She will then draw a parallel between the reconstruction paths of women who have undergone FGM and those of women who have been victims of sexual violence. This will be done by analyzing a photographic exhibition on sexual violence realized in collaboration with the victims. Finally, she will analyze the figure of Sante Agata, as presented in Bernadette Wegenstein’s film, as an icon of feminism offering a virtually traced path of reparation and return to the self. We’ll see that the aesthetic choice of these images (photography, film) acquires a reparative function through a profound transformation of the subject, who is rehabilitated to rewrite her history.
