Vanessa Springra's' Consent 'is a memoir based on real-life experiences that exposes sexual exploitation suffered during adolescence. The abuser in the book is the famous French writer Gamaznev, whose works often involve sexual relationships with teenagers. Springra spoke out through the "MeToo" movement, challenging the society's indulgence of writers' sexual fetishism at that time. She focused on the complex topic of 'consent' and explored the ambiguity in power relations. Scholars have analyzed concepts such as "agree", "compromise", and "yield" from different perspectives, while critics have focused on the phenomenon of "rape" being replaced by "control". Springra questioned the discourse itself, citing Deloms' words to emphasize that mastering discourse is mastering power, echoing Foucault's "discourse is power". She establishes her self-identity and living space through written forms, calling for a multidimensional understanding of truth and humanity, where justice will manifest in profound comprehension. The success of 'Consent' reflects the postmodern shift in French gender politics and the evolution of power discourse.

The Halo of Books and Black Notebooks: Dual Perspectives of Language Systems

By analyzing the non fiction work 'Consent', the dual aspects of the language system and its close connection with power relations are revealed. The story tells of a French girl named Vanessa who, against the backdrop of family turmoil and insecurity, is exploited by writer G through mental manipulation and power discourse, resulting in serious damage to her physical and mental health. G uses the sacred aura of books and his identity as a writer to discipline and psychologically control Vanessa, turning her into the "little V" in her works, in order to morally exonerate and seek fame and fortune. As time passed, Vanessa gradually saw G's true face, but she could no longer escape from the ruins of her heart. Foucault's theory of microphysics of power is used to analyze the relationship between discourse and power, pointing out that discourse is not only a symbolic system, but also a practical activity that is inseparable from power. In the relationship between Vanessa and G, G trains Vanessa through letter communication, guiding her to respond with literary performance and using her "consent" as evidence. G used the authority and manipulation of language to strip Vanessa of her narrative power, making her an alienated other. Vanessa sought help in despair, but was subjected to gender discrimination and prohibition in the discourse network. G distorted Vanessa's image, causing her to be completely transformed and destroyed in the discourse of others. In the end, Vanessa realized that books were lies, that writers were vampires, and that the power device of words had completely crushed her life. The silence caused by the trauma deprived her of the willingness and ability to speak.

Aggregation and Reconstruction: A New Language for Women

This paper explores the reconstruction of contemporary female identity and the evolution of power discourse in France. By analyzing Springer's work "Consent" and its creative background, it reveals the transformation of women from objects to subjects in the power system. After nearly half a century of silence, Springra began to rewrite the story of being stolen by patriarchal oppressors. The initial draft of the work was completed in the 1990s, but it was not published until the outbreak of the "MeToo" movement in 2017. The "MeToo" movement has provided female victims with a voice, but it has also brought about the issue of exemption from online complaints. Prokholis pointed out that the victim's words have narrative power, but directly equating accusations with facts for public trial may lead to intimidation and lies. Springra portrays Vanessa's pathological attachment to G in 'Consent' and exposes the cruelty of soft mental control. Through the different interpretations of Vanessa in the past and Springer today when facing the same relationship, she shows how the strong can alienate the weak in the power structure of emotional exploitation. Springra acknowledges the absurdity and cruelty of 'agreement', but does not allow the situation of women to hinder accurate expression. She broke free from the trap of feminist discourse and explored another possibility in the model of solidifying men as perpetrators and anchoring women as weak. Springra reconstructed her own gender discourse through an aggregated language of "victim" and "accomplice," opening up a unique space for women to express their emotions and grow. By expanding women's discourse space, she pointed out that the action to liberate women from shackles should be based on the elimination of patriarchal discourse logic, rather than replication.

Truth and Error: A Game of Power Based on Language

Explored the presentation of female individuals in contemporary French literature and how these works challenge traditional patriarchal discourse. By analyzing works such as "The Youngest Man is Facing Disaster", "Forgiveness", and "Big Family", the chapter reveals how victims become accomplices in the construction of evil, and how these works depict the ambiguity of individual trauma and sexual assault. Meanwhile, the chapter discusses the family and social factors behind juvenile sexual crimes, such as parental negligence and misunderstandings about sexual liberation. In addition, the chapter also explores how power discourse shapes subjectivity, and how 'Consent' triggers reflection on the times and society through psychological characterization and criticism of power discourse. Finally, the chapter points out how 'Consent' and similar works have promoted the protection of children in the French judicial system and become an important response to the women's movement, reflecting the changes in values during the French era.
