Abstract

This volume explores contemporary French women’s writing through the prism of one of the defining moments of modern feminism : the writings of the 1970s that came to be known as «French feminism». With their exhilarating renewal of the rules of fiction, and a sophisticated theoretical approach to gender, representation and textuality, Hélène Cixous and others became internationally recognised for their work, at a time when the women’s movement was also a driving force for social change. Taking its cue from Les Femmes s’entêtent, a multi-authored analysis of the situation of women and a celebration of women’s creativity, this collection offers new readings of Monique Wittig, Emma Santos and Hélène Cixous, followed by essays on Nina Bouraoui, Michèle Perrein and Ying Chen, Marguerite Duras and Mireille Best, and Valentine Goby. A contextualising introduction establishes the theoretical and cultural framework of the volume with a critical re-evaluation of this key moment in the history of feminist thought and women’s writing, pursuing its various legacies and examining the ways theoretical and empirical developments in queer studies, postcolonial studies and postmodernist philosophies have extended, inflected and challenged feminist work

Abstract

French feminism was central to the theory and culture of Second Wave feminism as an international movement, and 1975 was a key year for the women's movement in France. Through a critical review of the politics, activism and cultural creativity of that moment, from the perspective of both preceding and subsequent 'waves' of feminism, this book evaluates the legacies of 1975, and their strengths and limitations as new questions and new conjunctures have come into play. Edited and written by an international group of feminist scholars, it offers both a critical re-evaluation of a vital moment in women's cultural history, and a new analysis of the relationship between second wave agendas and contemporary feminist politics and culture.

Abstract

Soixante-dix ans après la fin des hostilités, les tragédies et les questions liées à la Seconde Guerre mondiale continuent d’occuper les esprits et la culture, la création et le commentaire. Certaines de ces productions contestent des vérités admises, et jusqu’à la possibilité d’un accord. Des spécialistes d’origine et d’institutions très diverses sont réunis ici pour étudier un corpus qui va de l'après-guerre à nos jours, de Maurice Bardèche à Armand Gatti, couvrant tous les genres littéraires ainsi que les arts du spectacle. Se sont joints à ces chercheurs l’historien Henry Rousso, les écrivains Laurent Binet, Pascal Bruckner et Yannick Haenel. Loin de l’unanimité souvent trompeuse, les points de vue peuvent différer, ou diverger radicalement. Trois axes successifs relancent le débat et l’ordonnent : les hantises et recompositions imposées par le traumatisme, les écritures de l’Histoire aux prises avec la fiction, les implications et engagements suscités par l’événement.
