Ce volume rassemble les 27 contributions des Actes du colloque du CUER MA (2003) dans divers domaines de la civilisation du Moyen Âge : littérature, peinture, médecine, hygiène, cosmétique, mode, religion... Il n'est de chevelure qu'humaine. Située au chef du corps, elle est métonymique de celui ou celle qui l'offre naïvement auxregard ou bien en joue ou encore la couvre ou s'en prive. Sa couleur, la façon dont est arrangée ou dérangée, ornée ou tondue, sont des signes qu'on perçoit d'emblée ou qu'il faut interpréter. Elle dénote une nature, un âge, une appartenance au monde de la lumière ou des ténèbres. Fixée en boucles menues, retenue par une tresse, galonnée d'or, sagement (ou follement!) couverte, teinte ou postiche, déployée, déferlant parfois jusqu'aux pieds pour couvrir la nudité, sauvagement ébouriffée, arrachée en signe de deuil, rasée, blessée d'une tonsure, elle signale le rapport que l'individu entretient avec les normes de la société à laquelle il appartient. Parfois, il suffit d'un cheveu (d'or!) pour dire l'amour d'une Dame ou, métaphoriquement, les subtilité d'un art d'écrire (4e de couv.)

This is the first academic book ever written on women and body hair, which has been seen until now as too trivial, ridiculous or revolting to write about. Even feminist writers or researchers on the body have found remarkably little to say about body hair, usually ignoring it completely. It would appear that the only texts to elaborate on body hair are guides on how to remove it, medical texts on 'hirsutism', or fetishistic pornography on 'hairy' women. The last taboo also questions how and why any particular issue can become defined as 'self-evidently' too silly or too mad to write about.

This volume brings together a range of scholars from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to re-examine the histories of facial hair and its place in discussions of gender, the military, travel and art, amongst others. Chapters in the first section of the collection explore the intricate history of beard wearing and shaving, including facial hair fashions in long historical perspective, and the depiction of beards in portraiture. Section Two explores the shifting meanings of the moustache, both as a manly symbol in the nineteenth century, and also as the focus of the material culture of personal grooming. The final section of the collection charts the often-complex relationship between men, women and facial hair. It explores how women used facial hair to appropriate masculine identity, and how women’s own hair was read as a sign of excessive and illicit sexuality.
