Roman d'homme ou de femme ? Telle est de nos jours l'une des premières questions que se pose le lecteur d'une oeuvre de fiction. La réponse qu'il y donne modèlera son regard sur le texte. Les différences gestuelles et orales jouent un rôle dans la spécification des rapports interpersonnels. Comment peut-on repérer et interpréter ces différences dans les textes littéraires ? Quelle place faut-il accorder aux débats sur la domination du masculin, à l'hypothèse d'une crise des identités de genre ? Curieusement, dans les textes littéraires, l'étude sémiologique des gestes et de la parole a, jusqu'à présent, fait l'impasse sur la sociologie du genre. Le présent ouvrage vient à point pour analyser le rapport masculin/féminin à partir d'une représentation du corps et de ses activités : "Des hommes et des femmes se côtoient dans l'espace textuel : chacun se comporte dans cette situation spécifique en fonction de son sexe et de son ethnie. Toute cette étude autour de la corporéité (oralité et gestualité) se décline à partir de ce concept."

In the work he considered his masterpiece, Persiles and Sigismunda, Cervantes finally explores the reality of woman--an abstraction largely idealized in his earlier writing. Traditional critics have perpetuated this disembodied ideal woman: "Every Man," claimed the translators of the 1706 Don Quixote, has "some darling Dulcinea of his Thoughts." As Diana de Armas Wilson shows, however, Cervantes himself envisioned the radical embodiment of "Dulcinea" in the later Persiles, a pan-European Renaissance allegory. Wilson illuminates Cervantes's strategic use of the ancient genre of Greek romance to contest various chivalric fictions about women, love, and marriage--fictions collapsing under the constraints of an emerging bourgeois culture. Taking as her subject Cervantes's erotic imperative--to leave behind "barbaric" notions of love in quest of a new conceptual space--Wilson demonstrates how the heroes of the Persiles, unlike Don Quixote, learn to cross the borders of difference. Their journey toward marriage is illustrated by thirteen inset "exemplary novels," perhaps the most exploratory of Cervantes's writings. Allegories of Love not only examines the fundamental importance of sexual and cultural difference in Cervantes's last romance, but also reveals the historical conditions of representation itself during the late Renaissance.Originally published in 1991.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
