Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si la littérature est un lieu privilégié pour la construction et la représentation des identités sexuelles et du genre, quelles perspectives l’analyse de ces constructions et de ces représentations ouvre-t-elle au sein des études littéraires ? C’est cette question qu’explore ce volume de Poétiques Comparatistes. S’il est, dans le domaine des sciences humaines, un champ théorique et critique dans lequel les clivages entre les deux côtés de l’Atlantique sont marqués, c’est bien celui où s’inscrivent les études des représentations des identités sexuelles. Des feminist studies aux queer studies, ce champ a une histoire et une évolution, d’abord en Amérique du Nord, où il s’est construit à partir d’une certaine « pensée française ». Par un effet de retour, l’institution universitaire française commence à s’ouvrir aux approches « queer ». C’est donc logiquement comme un dialogue transatlantique que ce volume est pensé. Permettant une confrontation des approches théoriques, il propose de grandes synthèses sur des problématiques essentielles, qu’il s’agisse de la représentation des relations homoérotiques dans l’Antiquité, des relations entre mythes et gender, de l’émergence historique de la catégorie de l’homosexuel ou des relations entre les différents courants du féminisme et des études queer ; en même temps, il offre un large éventail d’analyses de textes littéraires et cinématographiques.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fille ou garçon ?" est la première question que pose aux parents la naissance d'un enfant, preuve de l'importance de l'identité sexuelle dès le surgissement de la vie : or, parfois, il est impossible d'y répondre. Que faire dans ces situations particulièrement difficiles d'anomalie du développement ou de la différenciation sexuelle ? Que peuvent les médecins ? Que souhaitent les parents ? Peut-on choisir pour un "tiers", fût-il son enfant ? Les questions liées à la différenciation sexuelle interrogent si profondément l'identité qu'elles provoquent un trouble, une inquiétude. Ce trouble est bien connu des praticiens engagés dans cette approche. Il traverse enfants, parents et soignants. Chaque fois que l'identité est fragilisée s'ouvre une interrogation sur les limites, les frontières. Cet ouvrage est une contribution à la délicate question de la différenciation sexuelle et des identités. Il réunit des auteurs venus d'horizons différents - endocrinologues, psychiatres, psychanalystes, sociologues, anthropologues, littéraires. Ensemble ils s'interrogent sur les problématiques liées à l'hermaphrodisme, l'androgynie, les troubles de l'identité sexuelle et du genre. Face à l'ampleur des questions soulevées, face à la diversité des champs concernés, ils ont fait le choix de la transdisciplinarité pour explorer ces états. Au-delà des réponses que peut apporter la médecine, ils envisagent la façon dont cette clinique s'inscrit aujourd'hui dans la société contemporaine. Comment les sociétés, à travers les âges, se sont-elles représenté ces "anomalies" sexuelles ? Quel regard l'art et la littérature portent-ils sur ces questions ? Quelles sont les interactions entre identité sexuelle et identité sociale liée à la définition du genre ? Au-delà du sexe dit "visible" que se passe-t-il dans l'intériorité physique et psychique ? Entre anatomie et psychisme, entre vie singulière et vie sociale, une approche pionnière fait de Différenciation sexuelle et identités, un ouvrage novateur à l'usage de tous.

Download or read book Girls in French and Francophone Literature and Film written by Daniela Di Cecco and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Girls in French and Francophone Literature and Film is a collection of essays focusing on constructions of girlhood in French and Francophone Literature and Film from the late-Nineteenth to the early-Twenty-First centuries. The volume is firmly anchored at the intersection of French and Francophone studies and the bourgeoning field of girls’ studies. Collectively, the articles demonstrate that girls’ experience, historically viewed as a mere deviation from the “normative” male model, is a product of diverse ideological, cultural and economic factors, and is deserving of its own field of inquiry.

Book excerpt: Décalé, dérangeant, contestataire : le mot queer, traditionnellement utilisé comme terme de dérision pour désigner les homosexuels, est devenu, même hors de l'anglais, le support de toute une réflexion sur les identités (sexuelles) et la remise en cause de la répartition sociale des rôles masculin et féminin. Autres temps, autres lieux explore des textes, des schémas sociaux et leurs manifestations culturelles, d'hier et d'aujourd'hui, pour éclairer la manière dont ont pu se percevoir, se définir ou se construire les identités sexuelles dissidentes ou "dérangeantes" avant que la notion même d'identité sexuelle n'ait été formalisée.

Download or read book Same Sex Marriage in Renaissance Rome written by Gary Ferguson and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-09 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the tenor of contemporary discussions, it would be easy to conclude that the idea of marriage between two people of the same sex is a uniquely contemporary phenomenon. Not so, argues Gary Ferguson in Same-Sex Marriage in Renaissance Rome. Making use of substantial fragments of trial transcripts Gary Ferguson brings the story of a same-sex marriage to life in striking detail. He unearths an incredible amount of detail about the men, their sex lives, and how others responded to this information, which allows him to explore attitudes toward marriage, sex, and gender at the time. Emphasizing the instability of marriage in premodern Europe, Ferguson argues that same-sex unions should be considered part of the institution's complex and contested history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays explores concepts present in literatures in French that, since the 2007 manifesto, more and more critics, suspicious of the term Francophonie, now prefer to designate as littérature-monde (world literature). The book shows how the three movements of antillanité, créolité and littérature-monde each in their own way break with the past and distance themselves from the hexagonal centre. The critics in this collection show how writers seek to represent an authentic view of their history, culture, identities, reality and diversities. According to many of the contributors, creolization and littérature-monde offer new perspectives and possibly a new genre of literature. Ces essais explorent les concepts présents dans la littérature en français, que depuis le manifeste de 2007, de plus en plus de critiques, suspicieux du terme francophonie préfèrent désigner sous le terme de littérature-monde. Ce livre montre comment les trois mouvements antillanité, créolité et littérature-monde, bien qu’ils cherchent chacun à présenter une rupture, offrent aussi un but similaire de distanciation avec le centre hexagonal. Les critiques de ce recueil démontrent comment les écrivains cherchent à représenter une vision authentique de leur histoire, leur culture, leurs identités, leur réalité et leur diversité. Selon de nombreux contributeurs à ce recueil, la créolisation ou la littérature-monde offrent de nouvelles perspectives et la possibilité d’un nouveau genre de littérature.

Download or read book Lucilius and Satire in Second Century BC Rome written by Brian W. Breed and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume considers linguistic, cultural, and literary trends that fed into the creation of Roman satire in second-century BC Rome. Combining approaches drawn from linguistics, Roman history, and Latin literature, the chapters share a common purpose of attempting to assess how Lucilius' satires functioned in the social environment in which they were created and originally read. Particular areas of focus include audiences for satire, the mixing of varieties of Latin in the satires, and relationships with other second-century genres, including comedy, epic, and oratory. Lucilius' satires emerged at a time when Rome's new status as an imperial power and its absorption of influences from the Greek world were shaping Roman identity. With this in mind the book provides new perspectives on the foundational identification of satire with what it means to be Roman and satire's unique status as 'wholly ours' tota nostra among Latin literary genres.

Download or read book The Changing Face of African Literature Les nouveaux visages de la litt rature africaine written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Changing Face of African Literature combines both the large picture – a synopsis of current trends in African literature – and the small: studies of individual texts and of themes across several texts. The large and the small are linked by recurring themes, such as gender and sexuality, the nation-state and its collapse, AIDS, war, and suffering. The volume is comparative, bringing together literature in at least five languages and from at least ten national literatures. Such a large, comparative frame is implied by most discussion of African literature but is too seldom seen. At the same time, the collection also problematizes the comparison: the goal is to make clear what African literatures have in common but also where they diverge. What difference do distinct literary traditions, readerships, and publishing patterns make to literatures which share a common thematic and so many of the same questions and needs? By juxtaposing contemporary texts form several traditions, the intention of this collection is to bring out the themes that are currently dominant in African literatures generally. After a preface by Liz Gunner and a wide-ranging introduction by the editors, the collection presents keynote essays on new paradigms in African literature, before treating specific themes – recent crime fiction, the Afrikaans and anglophone novel, feminist literature, ‘migritude’ – and studies of recent works by individual authors such as André Brink, Henri Djombo, Pie Tshibanda, Bessora, Nadine Gordimer, and Paulina Chiziane, as well as the South African television series Yizo Yizo.

Download or read book Interpretation in of the Seventeenth Century written by Pierre Zoberman and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interpretation in/of the Seventeenth Century explores interpretation according to, and by, the seventeenth century, namely how intellectuals and officials conceived of interpretation, and how they read their world and its relationship to the past, and of the seventeenth century. As such, the volume examines both temporal relationships, such as current interpretations of the seventeenth century or interpretation of itself and the past by the seventeenth century, and transversal relations, including practices of reading, crossings from one genre to another, and translation. The comparative conception underlying the collection’s three main sections (“Culture and Interpretation”, “Interpretation and Literature”, and “Shifts and Perspectives”) allows for an in-depth examination of what could be meant in seventeenth-century France by interpretation—between exegesis and translation—and what interpretive practices characterized the culture of the period. What may the ceremonies organized on a more or less grandiose scale and with more or less clearly visible programmes by the Crown or various institutions have meant for the organizers and their audiences, given the material and perspectival limitations faced by most of the viewers and participants and the difficulty to read the allegorical-symbolic representations? Science and belief play an important role in deciphering representation: discourses on optics and ghosts stories alike help shed light on the evolution of interpretation, as concept and practice, throughout this period. Literature, in the modern sense of the word, is given particular attention in the volume. Several chapters examine the connection of literary forms to conceptions of interpretation: how did topical plays, staging contemporary events, help shape the interpretation of current affairs and further political agendas? More generally, how do dramaturgy, theatrical production and acting contribute to an understanding of the ways in which the participants in early modern European culture viewed their own time, and of the ways in which the period can be interpreted today? And can early-modern accounts of literature and society be read as signposts for a modern understanding of the period? To these and other, related, questions, the study of translation and translators in the seventeenth century and of modern translations for audiences outside of France (in particular for Molière), as well as an examination of adaptations of seventeenth-century works for other media today, bring novel perspectives.

Download or read book Centres et p riph ries de la litt rature mondiale written by Amaury Dehoux and published by Editions Publibook. This book was released on 2018 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "En tant que système, la littérature mondiale établit des connexions mouvantes entre différentes zones géographiques, culturelles et linguistiques. C'est pourquoi les notions de centre et de périphérie se voient constamment renouvelées et demeurent d'une grande fécondité pour la critique littéraire aujourd'hui. Le présent ouvrage s'intéresse précisément à quelques actualisations remarquables du binôme centre-périphérie dans la littérature contemporaine. Il envisage les dynamiques, les dispositifs et les problématiques propres à diverses littératures non occidentales, qu'elles soient européennes (Bulgarie, Slovénie) ou extra-européennes (océan Indien, Caraïbes, monde arabe). Il interroge sur cette base la pensée du relatif et de l'universel, qui sous-tend toute littérature, et le devenir d'une telle pensée à l'ère de la globalisation."--Page 4 of cover.

Download or read book The Routledge Research Companion to Geographies of Sex and Sexualities written by Gavin Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive and authoritative, this state-of-the-art review both charts and develops the rich sub-discipline geographies of sexualities, exploring sex-gender, sexuality and sexual practices. Emerging from the desire to examine differences and exclusions as a key aspect of human geographies, these geographies have engaged with heterosexual and queer, lesbian, gay, bi and trans lives. Developing thinking in this area, geographers and other social scientists have illustrated the centrality of place, space and other spatial relationships in reconstituting sexual practices, representations, desires, as well as sexed bodies and lives. This book reviews the current state of the field and offers new insights from authors located on five continents. In doing so, the book seeks to draw on and influence core debates in this field, as well as disrupt the Anglo-American hegemony in studies of sexualities, sexes and geographies. This volume is the definitive collection in the area, bringing together many international leaders in the field, alongside scholars that are well-established outside the Anglophone academy, and many emerging talents who will lead the field in the decades to come.
