Charles Baudelaire, Walter Benjamin, and Sylvia Plath make up the odd trio on which this book is based. It is in the surprising and revealing links between them--links pertaining to troublesome mothers, elusive foreign languages, and professional disappointments--that Barbara Johnson maps the coordinates of her larger claims about the ideal of oneness in every area of life, and about the damage done by this ideal. The existence of sexual difference precludes an original or ultimate "one" who would represent all of mankind; the plurality of languages makes it impossible to think that one doesn't live in translation; and the plurality of the sexes means that every human being came from a woman's body, and some will reproduce this feat, while others won't. In her most personal and deeply considered book about difference, Johnson asks: Is the mother the guardian of a oneness we have never had? The relations that link mothers, bodies, words, and laws serve as the guiding puzzles as she searches for an answer.

Aucun doute : la catégorie du « genre/Gender » a bien fait son entrée dans l'institution universitaire française. Mieux encore, cette catégorie d'analyse « voyageuse » se reconfigure sans cesse au gré des transferts transatlantiques et des appropriations disciplinaires qu'elle connaît. Le présent volume aborde différentes formes de narration contemporaine, de la fiction ou au film à l'entretien clinique ou au récit de vie. Il est né de la volonté de croiser, autour du problème de la narration genrée, cette réalité française « décalée » avec des perspectives développées plus tôt dans la recherche germanophone sur le genre. Les études sur la narration ouvrent un large champ d'exploration et d'expérimentation des identités. Dans le sillage du Performative Turn, il devient possible de penser le genre comme l'un des éléments constitutifs de l'acte narratif. Le genre est le résultat d'un dire qui est, dans le même temps, un faire. Dire « je suis femme/homme », c'est en partie se constituer en tant que tel-le. La narration de l'identité de genre apparaît alors comme une éternelle refiguration, c'est-à-dire une manière signifiante pour soi d'arranger et d'agencer son récit de soi pour les autres. Dès lors, la narration de soi fonctionne comme un espace performatif de représentation construit par le sujet et au sein duquel il se définit in medias res, dans une constante évolution.

In this first book-length study to compare the ""new novels"" of both Spanish America and Brazil, the authors deftly examine the differing perceptions of ambiguity as they apply to questions of gender and the participation of females and males in the establishment of Latin American narrative models. Their daring thesis: the Brazilian new novel developed a more radical form than its better-known Spanish-speaking cousin because it had a significantly different approach to the crucial issues of ambiguity and gender and because so many of its major practitioners were women.
