N, Guessan Marie-Régine. "Femmes, sexualité et politique dans les œuvres de Calixthe Beyala et Ken Bugul." Paris 8, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA084166.
Full textAfrican contemporary situation is sensibly marked by troubles, that determine its World level : political, social, economical and human realities. Before this general and increasing degradation, Ken Bugul and Calixthe Beyala wonder about writing evolution and adaptation, about African writers mission in current period. These preoccupations define two interests : The « women » subject (through the feminine sexuality and emancipation) and African Policy (through updating postcolonial literature). This work consist in analysing the scriptural treatments of these main themes in the works of Ken Bugul and Calixthe Beyala between 1983 (The crazy baobab of Ken Bugul) and 2006 (The golden piece, of the same author)

Full textAs it indicates the socially acceptable expression of sexuality, a society's sex education reflects its choices in terms of social organization of sexuality. The purpose of this thesis consists in a sociohistorical (from the beginning of the 20th Century to our times) and sociocultural comparative analysis of sex education methods and theories in France and in Sweden, in order to identify the social conceptions of gender and sexuality that they convey. The analysis of the content of numerous sex education media in addition to interviews with resource people, will allow us to define the characteristics of both countries in this particular field. While sex education still remains everywhere widely reliant on individual will, the methods used in Sweden turns out more structured and supported than they are in France : critical problematization of gender and heteronormativity doesn’t exist in France's take on sex education, while it's slowly turning up in official texts in Sweden, under the impulse of associations and academics. Yet, in the absence of any critical reflection on gender and heteronormativity – observed in France and, in a lesser way in Sweden – the conception of sexuality spread about by sex education is biologizing (focusing on reproduction), associating sex with being in love (norm of the couple and love), negative (focusing on risks), differentialist (men and women presented as complementary) and heteronormative. Parts of the analysis will focus on alternative methods, inclusive pedagogy and norm-critical pedagogy, both developed in Sweden and implemented in the field of sex education
Monteil, Lucas. "L'Espace des désirs : enquête sur la construction des homosexualités masculines en Chine post-maoïste." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris 8, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019PA080030.
Full textOften thought of in terms of "identity" or "culture", "national" or "globalized", the homosexual question in China is primarily dependent on a singular story: that of the meanings attributed to male same-sex love and sex in general during the Chinese modernization, marked successively by the modernizing nationalism (1911-1949), the Maoist revolution (1949-1976) and the post-Maoist reforms of the economy (from 1978). At first largely "erased" from public space, the forms and representations of homoerotic life have benefited from new opportunities for expression in the context of economic liberalization and openness to international trade. This six-year survey, from 2009 to 2015, in three mainland Chinese cities - Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu - questions the common and learned association of homosexuality in China with supposedly modern-day young people from the new middle and globalized classes. It highlights the existence of distinct configurations of male homosexuality in post-Maoist China, whose socio-cultural forms differ according to their position, more or less central or peripheral, in a space at the same time social, geographical, symbolic and trans / national in rapid transformation. The thesis shows more broadly how all articulated dimensions of what can be called an erotic taste - how, what, and who we love, what does love mean, how do we learn it? - and where this comes from... - develop and articulate differently in this Chinese space of homosexuality, consubstantially with the processes characterizing China's reforms and opening.The historically and socially situated forms of socialization to homosexuality, which vary in particular from the respective importance of interpersonal encounters and emerging cultural scenarios of homosexuality, provide information on the transformations at work in the field of public discourse, marked by partial political liberalization and socially unequal circulation. The prevalence and banality of economic-sexual exchanges within the peripheral configurations, in contrast with the strong stigmatization of prostitution in the central universes, illustrates the effect on the erotic life of the profound upheaval of the conditions of production and the social structure. Chinese, characterized in particular by the development of internal migration. Other differences relating to the ideal bodily types structure the space of homosexualities in presence, the preponderance of "old-young love" (laoshaolian) in peripheral universes, cutting in particular with the hegemonic character of a homogamy of age in the center, informing differentiated evolution of the forms of primary socialization according to class and generation. The observation of differential relationships to the heterosexual marriage between the central and peripheral homoerotic worlds enlightens the transformations of the marital institution and sexual norms in the post-Maoist period, marked by the emergence of a norm of romantic marriage and of genuine love, particularly pregnant among the youth of the middle classes. The transnational circulation of sexual categories in China is finally grasped in terms of their differentiated reception and the logics of their appropriation and circulation within the space of homosexuality and the national space that determines it. The investigation leads here to a reversal of the investigation, of the contextualization of the sex to the lighting of the context, which returns, rather than to seek the traits of the cultures "Chinese" or "globalized" in Chinese
Djavadzadeh, Keivan. "Wild women don't have the blues : genre, race et sexualité dans le rap féminin états-unien." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris 8, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA080063.
Full textOf all popular music genres, rap – a music born in the South Bronx in New York in the mid-1970s – is the one most commonly linked to a masculine and misogynistic discourse. Even female rappers often describe the genre as a male-dominated and even hostile environment. Still, numerous female rappers have entered this space since 1979, selling millions of records and contributing to the development of this genre, even though they usually don’t get the recognition they deserve. At the crossroads of political science and media studies, this study focuses on how working-class, black women find success in a male-dominated industry and reach social visibility in the public sphere. In their lyrics, female rappers openly discuss gender, race and sexuality and dispute hegemonic representations. Because representation is an organizing principle of social relations, a study of female rappers’ discourse provides us with a better understanding of the way norms of gender, race and sexuality are constituted – and challenged – through rap music. Rap is now one of the main spaces where these norms are (re)produced. It is the battlefield of an ongoing "war of position" involving ideologies of gender and race. In this space, black women express gender and race through performance and negotiate their identity far from the traditional gender norms

Full textThis thesis proposes a new aesthetic of the female body through the analysis of texts of three migrant contemporary authors: Malika Mokeddem, Gisèle Pineau and Jamaica Kincaid. Postcolonial and feminist reading of the three authors reveal a body deficiency. The study of their works shows a body in crisis. Therefore, it is urgent to historicize it, but also to reinvent it.This thesis undertakes an epistemological reflection in their texts, in order to re-work the body. It aims at putting the female body into History, replacing it in the memory, remaking the genealogies and renewing the affiliations, reviving the women’s network and revolutionizing the subject of transmission. The analysis of mechanisms and tools of race and gender domination, helps to understand the different forms of resistance, and to identify the different exit strategies. Finally this work proposes to renew the body by diverting the discursive power and the patriarchal and imperialist rhetoric, through a counter-speech, decolonized and depatriarchalized. And also reinvent the body out of the dialectic of power, opening a postbody space/language

Full textRevolutionaries and essential in Freudian thought, sexual theories gradually lost their transgressive role in contemporary psychoanalysis to become copies of social standards. This thesis proposes to study the effects of these theories on the capacity of French therapists to listen, from from a thorough analysis of Freudian and post-Freudian literature, but also of the dissidents and critical works of this current. This was in the aim to try on the hypothesis that, due to the content of the French psy training, therapists are badly prepared to listen, understand and help their patients in the expression of their sexual lives

Not only is it interesting but also is it challenging to work with them for women bearing the double status of single motherhood are excluded from society. Indeed, whether in Official statistics or mainstream family models, these women are literally "inexistant". The aim here is to identify their individual behaviors and strategies facing premarital pregnancy. Beyond the socio-demographic inputs on a rejected population, this thesis involves questioning their subjective dimensions (feelings, thoughts). This work is based on a quantitative and qualitative analysis and is therefore situated at the junction of both structural and individual perspectives. Which social determinants led these women to pregnancy? How did they cope with the related social constraints? These questions open to a broader reflection on models in terms of family, marriage and sexual behavior in Tunisia
Husson, Anne-Charlotte. "Les mots du genre : Activité métalinguistique folk et constitution d'un événement polémique." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018USPCD047.
Full textFrom 2011, an apparently unprecedented controversy has held a place in the French public sphere. This controversy centres on the concept of gender, specifically its use in school programmes and legislation. The constitution – rather than construction –, between 2011 and 2014, of what is here considered as an event is the focus of this study. The particular aim of this thesis is to understand the role played by folk actor-speakers’ metalinguistic activity about words related to gender in the constitution of such an event. A corpus of web-native francophone utterances (websites, blogs, social networks) was gathered, along with a more heterogeneous reference corpus (books, tweets, emails, transcripts of parliamentary sessions, etc.), in order to analyse, in terms of nomination and definition, how words related to gender became conflictual.The study thus proposes an analysis of polemical discourses which uses words as a point ofentry, and is supported by argumentation theories and contributory knowledge from gender studies and elsewhere. It shows how crucial it is to take into account the prediscourses of folklinguistics, including ethical ones, to understand actor-speakers’ metalinguistic activity and the role it plays in the constitution of the event. By bringing to light a fear of denaturation which affects both sex and language, this thesis also provides gender studies with a new way of interpreting essentialist discourses about the differences between the sexes

Full textMigrants from sub-Saharan Africa bear a disproportionate burden of HIV/aids infections in France with a growing proportion acquiring HIV after migration. Mobilizing a sociological approach of sexuality, we focus on sexual trajectories and sexual networks in order to investigate the structural processes that organize the sexual and preventive practices of these migrants. We analyse a French survey carried out on 1,874 individuals born in sub-Saharan Africa, aged 18-49 and living in Paris and its surroundings. Our results uncover the effects of sexual socialization and social context of the first intercourse on sexual debuts and on later sexual and preventive biographies, differentiated for women and men. We also examine how migratory trajectories and experiences of racism and discrimination organize their sexual and preventive practices within specific sexual networks. Our research provides evidence of the existence of African sexual networks over, and beyond, national origin, especially for women. This intra-African segregation of sexual networks is influenced by the living conditions of the migrants and sheds light on the epidemic spread within these populations in the French context

Full textDuring the 90s, the concept of gender related to the cultural context of the body hardly had a place in the intellectual sphere. Did this concept spread itself more easily in the field of performance? From the 70s onward and right after the impulse given by 68 movements, the body took an important protest role in the creative process, in particular regarding gender deconstruction: that is the development of body art. Several artists tried through this medium to find a Body fundament which could bring an answer to cultural issues related to sexual differences. Later in the 80s, performance art became less subversive. The global political environment was changing and the body was more visible especially on screens. Two mains positions emerged among French artists: one focused more on words and an immaterial approach and the other using technology and media to explore the body. In both cases, the relationship between the artist and the deviant bodies that they used is far from clear. The “minority bodies” were more to be found in the militant and activist sphere. In the 90s, arguments about topics to do with secularism and the alarming raise of HIV would finally push the performers to reconsider the political dimension of gender and identity questions. Therefore, in this last decade, the concept of gender found its legitimacy in the artistic field even though the relationship between creative process and political activism still seems problematic and not that active

Full textBy the end of the 19th century, medicine overwhelmingly took hold of the homosexual phenomenon, basing itself on new findings related to psychopathology. Not only were characters physically identified thanks to a series of so-called scientific criteria, but they were also analysed through mental mapping. Although the aim of the classification of sexual behaviours was to cure rather than punish, the practices of sexual minorities were still stigmatized. As far as the judiciary system was concerned, French laws were considered to be quite lenient in so far as homosexual relationships had no longer been regarded as offences since the 1810 penal code. Nevertheless, the distorted use of the affront to public decency enabled to control people's behaviours and, by the end of the century, an increase of the trials focusing on cases of indecent exposure could be noticed. Our work, that definitely ascribes itself within the field of Gender Studies and Queer theory, is first and foremost epistemological and seeks to analyze how a body of expertise about homosexuality emerged in the second half of the 19th century, through the medical corpus that turned out to be prevalent in the studies that were conducted then, as well as through both legal and literary texts, although they were quite overlooked then. Our analyses also pertain to the history of representations, as we offer to define the aesthetics of decadence by adding a signifier: homosexuality. Finally, we also plan on scrutinizing texts by relying on three main themes that are meant to emphasize the decadent use of a homotextuality : the symbol of flowers, the figure of the androgyne and the myth of Narcissus
King, Pamela. "Lacan et l'American Way of life." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris 8, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA080100.
Full textThis thesis, “Lacan and the American Way of Life”, examines Jacques Lacan and the United States in order to understand why Lacan’s teachings have had difficulty being taken seriously in American clinical practice. If psychoanalysts in the United States have kept Lacanian theory at a distance, it is perhaps because of the ways American practice has been oriented. We isolate three orientations: ego psychology, which had a strong influence in the United States as early as the 1930’s; Wilhelm Reich, the Viennese psychoanalyst and brilliant student of Freud who emigrated to the US and became known for his Sexual Revolution; and gender studies which considers that psychoanalysis, being overly subjected to patriarchal signifiers, should be abandoned. These movements represent three modalities of sexual theory that have left their mark on America, each bringing a meaning to sexuality in a way that excludes Lacan’s work. We examine these movements from a Lacanian point of view starting with his response to ego psychology (his return to Freud) and continuing with his later teachings (after 1970) that founded a practice oriented by the real – a re-thinking of psychoanalysis. The Lacanian concept of the real will be the compass that guides us through this demonstration. We will see that Lacan’s works, and especially his later formulations as explained by Jacques-Alain Miller, provide a way out of the impasses of ego psychology and its ego cult, of Reich and his genital phallic jouissance, and of gender studies and their entanglement with identity

Full textThe study of different representations, whether at a social, body or linguistic level, leads us to question the very concept of identity in literature. That “portmanteau word” – “mot-valise” in the meaning set out by Jean Petitot-Cocorda – belongs to Patriarchy, which means that the notion of identity itself has been (culturally) constructed by men for men, and the very word identity belongs to the semantic and existentialist masculine world. When we try to define feminine/female identity, we are trapped by the language constructed by patriarchal culture: the notion of identity is relevant for the Masculine and cannot be autonomously applied to women, since it has not been thought out for them in the first place. Therefore we reach a deadlock, as it were, when seeking a fixed, universal identity of women. This thesis will explore the different prisms through which French-speaking female writers put women’s identities into words and set them into tension so as to rethink the very concept of identity. Such process started in the 1950s with the publication of Le Deuxième sexe (1949) by Simone de Beauvoir, which marked the beginning of anti-essentialist studies.In the panorama of the terminology used in Gender studies, our attention will focus on Women’s literature, which implies claiming the existence of specific women’s identities from a differentialist feminist viewpoint. Female writers belonging to that category tend to analyze how the Feminine is conveyed into words in the text, to embody it, through a peculiar aesthetic. Thus woman’s identity in literature is based on polysemy and plurality, leading to an “open” identity, inscribed “actively” in the text by women writers (themes, narrative structures, etc.) and “passively” (for example, through a feminine use of language, the presence of the female writer’s body in the text, etc.). We have to shift feminist perspectives in order to achieve a more comprehensive feminine definition, in which text and writer are indissociable.The female authors included in our corpus (Corinna S. Bille, Nina Bouraoui, Assia Djebar, Jacqueline Harpman, Anne Hébert, Alice Rivaz, Gabrielle Roy and Marguerite Yourcenar) strive to develop a real literary aesthetic which is at odds with a rule-complying social model. From that viewpoint, women are not reduced to their essence, that is to their biological sex. The Feminine, as it is considered by our authors, is the result of a process of reflection and self-exploration, involving traditional societal issues (as figured in the themes dealt with), as well as an innovative literary language, capable of going beyond the classical dichotomy between masculine and feminine.Therefore, the aim is no longer to take possession of the “language of the other”, but to find one’s own. Therefore, we are distant from the patriarchal archetype constructing, and pre-establishing, fixed identities for women’s existence and writing. As we will see, such identities are no longer inscribed in the tradition of the objects “women”: they try to forge a new object in their writing, and in so doing they end up redefining their genre. In order to make up for the lack of “identity landmarks”, they resort to specific feminine features (oral language, nature, sexuality, etc.) so as to reach a definition of a Whole. The aim is no longer to write like men or against men, but to write women out of the patriarchal language by introducing in their texts those feminine elements capable of building a multifaceted feminine identity

Full textThis thesis investigates Virginia Woolf’s literary production through the lens of Simone de Beauvoir’s philosophy. After situating the two authors within their own original contexts, their transnational trajectories and theoretical resonances will be examined in the light of subsequent critics’ renegotiations of their works. In particular, this thesis focuses on the phenomenological notion of intercorporeality, namely on the theory that subjects are embodied and relational, entangled in a process of constant material and ideological becoming. This notion is adapted to a study of Woolf’s fiction through a phenomenological and ecological approach to character. This feminist and philosophical lens sheds new light on Woolf’s essays, autobiographical sketches, and fiction, thereby showing the productivity of pluralistic perspectives in literary studies
Questa tesi indaga la produzione letteraria di Virginia Woolf attraverso la filosofia di Simone de Beauvoir. Dopo aver collocato le due autrici all'interno dei loro contesti originari, le loro traiettorie transnazionali e le loro risonanze teoriche saranno esaminate alla luce delle rinegoziazioni delle loro opere da parte della critica successiva. In particolare, questa tesi si concentra sulla nozione fenomenologica di intercorporeità, ovvero sulla teoria secondo cui i soggetti sono incarnati e relazionali, invischiati in un processo di costante divenire materiale e ideologico. Questa nozione viene adattata allo studio della narrativa di Woolf attraverso un approccio fenomenologico ed ecologico al personaggio. Questa lente femminista e filosofica getta nuova luce sui saggi, gli schizzi autobiografici e la narrativa di Woolf, mostrando così la produttività delle prospettive pluralistiche negli studi letterari

Full textMy work deals with the building of identity through the writing of women writers from the Cuban Diaspora in New York. It focuses on autofictions by Sonia Rivera-Valdés and Jacqueline Herranz-Brooks. These contemporary writers, - who have a knack for defining the lesbian subject through the use of eroticism and desire- also manage to unsettle national, cultural and sexual identities by putting forward characters who develop out of the norm, away from the political, social and sexual system. These writers give a new definition to Cuban identity from an intimate perspective, which is far from the politicized image we know. My literary and socio-historical approach sheds light on the mechanisms of the construction of the identities of these women writers, considering in particular the context of production of their works. The numerous field surveys on the writers and guarantors of the Cuban institution made it possible for me to identify the literary and socio-historical context in which the women writers developed and produced their works. Through their literary careers, Sonia Rivera-Valdés and Jacqueline Herranz-Brooks describe themselves as lesbian writers living in a fragmented geographical space. They succeed in fictionalizing their memories in order to tell their lives. The text is both testimony – a narrative describing a socio-historical situation, being a lesbian in Cuba, the difficult integration of the migrants in New York- and fiction, enabling them to project their ideals. It is therefore in between testimony and reconstruction of the past anchored in the present that the women writers build a fragmented space between Cuba and New-York.

Full textAlthough in France school can be seen as an important factor in women emancipation many studies have pointed out that it also remains an instrument enabling the social reproduction of traditional gender relations. Since the 80s the National Education official texts have encouraged teachers to work for the promotion of gender equality and to question the sex stereotypes. Since the 2000s they have also asked them to fight against homophobia. These texts define the term as the discrimination or the verbal and the physical violence against the homosexuals but also, through the questioning of sex stereotypes, against those who are suspected of being homosexuals. However these formal requirements seem not well known by teachers and remain therefore unapplied. They nevertheless offer a formal framework and clearly-defined regulatory environment for people wishing to put into practice a non-sexist and/or a non-heterosexist pedagogy based on equal treatment of children regardless of their gender and on the refusal to link gender with predetermined social roles. This work focuses on these innovative practices and aims to strengthen the understanding of the specific work of these teachers and the new issues it raises. This research focuses precisely on the teachers who are intending to take up these issues and these practices in the context of primary school which includes in France the nursery school and the elementary school. On the basis of twenty non-directive interviews we try to better understand the specificity of these teachers's work and the representation they have of it. We also analyze the possibility and the characteristics of an education for gender and sexualities equality at the first education levels and the tensions that it can generate in the exercise of the teaching profession

Full textAt the crossroads of literature, sociology and psychology, this interdisciplinary work is intended to analyzing (analyze) the condition of contemporary women through a corpus of Persian and French works written respectively by Zoya Pirzad and Katherine Pancol and published between the years 1990 and 2010.These works, by their wide readership, are in popular literature. An analytical approach on the evolution of the novelistic genre, can define our corpus in relation to the new forms of sentimental literature, especially the Chick lit.The emergence of women novelists illustrating particularly the feminine universe requires studies on women’s writing.In this regard, Virginia Woolf insists on the importance of personal experiences in the creation of literary works, Luce Irigary identifies a language full of excess, folly and contradiction among women authors and Elaine Showalter proposes the construction of a framework (of a female executive) to analyze the literature of women.Subsequently, the question of feminism and its various currents in the West and the East explicitly developed. To approve the famous phrase of Simone de Beauvoir "One is not born a women, one becomes one", this work seeks to highlight the direct and indirect influence of the family, the school and the environment on training of the identity of the individual.Finally, by a psychological approach, this research promises a silent renaissance by examining the mental state of the female characters. The mother-daughter or father-daughter relationship and sexuality are major axes of this last part

Full textLiving with HIV is a particular situation in which external constraints such as treatment, secrecy around HIV status, and systematic use of condom on one side, and representations combining HIV and sexuality on a specific way, on the other side, are mixed. We studied the subjective experience of sexuality among HIV positive young adults, investigating the impact of gender and mode of contamination on representations of sexuality. 21 semi structured interviews concerning young adults of the two genders contaminated by mother to child transmission or by sexual transmission, aged 18 to 25 years and living in France, were collected. Three way of analyse were used: case study, thematic analysis, and typology. Inside the research group, depending on the contamination mode and the gender of the subject, we noticed different life experiences with the HIV virus leading to different sexuality experiences. For those subjects that were infected by sexual intercourse, we noticed three types of experience. For subjects infected by mother to child transmission, the experience of sexuality was quite similar. We showed how secrecy around seropositivity or its disclosure to the sexual partner are organizing sexual activity (sexual abstinence, casual relationships, long term/lasting relationships) and sexual experience. We also analysed how the systematic use of the condom could became a sign of the disease likely to lead to unprotected sexual relations. For all subjects, we observed how representation combining HIV with death and transgressive sexuality is crucial within their experience of sexuality

Full textBetween the Thirteenth and the Sixteenth Century, the apparition of public brothels -whose function was to regulate venal sex- transformed deeply the landscape of prostitution in the Midi toulousain. The institutionalization of prostitution was contemporary with a period of urban development and with the reintroduction of the political model of the consulate for the specific case of the Midi toulousain. The way in which prostitution was organized—whether it was an institutional activity or whether it circumvented the control of lay as well as Church authorities—offers us a global picture of society of the late Middle Ages. This issue of prostitution will lead us to consider the regulating actions taken by the political powers. We will also analyze the spatial repartition of prostitution, both in the cities and in the countryside. This study will also assess the multi-faceted parts played by the various actors of the world of prostitution

Albenga, Viviane. "Lecteurs, lectures et trajectoires de genre." Paris, EHESS, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009EHES0088.
Full textThis thesis aims at exploring the relations between reading practices, gender and class: we appropriate Bourdieu's theory by elaborating, through the linking of theory and fieldwork, the concepts of gender habitus and gender trajectories. By focusing on readers who deployed a reader habitus, and who take part in reader clubs, we emphasize the reading's effects as far as this practice supports the construction of oneself. We assume that reading practices can reshape and subvert gender. The reader habitus results from middle-class socialization, characterized by a cultural goodwill which is specific to middle¬class women. Nevertheless, reader habitus is neither feminine, nor masculine. This habitus deploys a practical sense based on the caring for oneself and for the others, as it was brought into light by M. Foucault. By linking up the foucaldian caring for oneself and the feminist theory of ethics of care, we can enlighten the anti-individualistic political ideal which could be brought up by the caring for oneself in reading practices. But it is the cultural goodwill which is prominent and it narrows the possibilities, for the readers, to make a political issue of their readings'appropriations, as constituting a distinctive symbolic capital prevails. Indeed, between the readers of each club, the literary legitimacy is at stake, and gender represents a distinctive category underlying this legitimacy. Finally, gender subversion by reading is drawn as a virtual trajectory. This trajectory would enable to overstep gender cleavages if it was completely achieved by readers
Bae, Ji Sun. "Genre et réécriture de l'Histoire : du témoignage à l'autobiographie à plusieurs voix." Paris 8, 2014. https://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-01144259v2.
Full textThis work shows the conditions of the elaboration, and production, of languages and writings that revisit a subjective and collective memory by rewriting History beyond violence, denial, repression, and censorship. This work analyses the relationship between the autos, the I, the self – inseparable from the bios, life as an experience the body goes through - and the graphein, the act of writing, the written form, at once text, testimony and narrative, by examining the question of how the “mother tongue” is involved in this relationship. Firstly, it concerns the analysis of the testimony The history we rewrite with memory through which “comfort women”, survivors of sexual slavery in South Korea during the Japanese occupation, emerge as a subject of History and writing. This analysis shows how women have begun to write by agitating the idea of the woman in the writing of History. Thanks to the collaboration of a Team of Testimonies, testimonies become life stories, biographies. Then, in the autobiographical text "Dictée", Theresa Hak Kyung Cha brings to light another subject of the enunciation, an “embodied voice” addressing the other part of South Korean history, through her own family’s story in a language of exile, a language of the other. Autobiographical writing, an account of an individual’s story, meets the writing of History, yet resists the subsumption of the Woman and thought. In this perspective, this work question the complexity of the “mother tongue” and the shortcomings of autobiography in philosophers’ works such as Arendt, Adorno, Derrida. The “mother language” reveals itself sometimes as the language of the Nation, of the law, of the other and sometimes as the language of affection, and intimacy, of the genealogical relationship

Full textThe main objective of this research work that conforms the thesis, is understanding the underlying logics of migrant's communities construction organized by Bolivians in Ushuaia city. The assembling of the chosen case interlaces Argentinean's and Bolivian's migratory histories, Patagonia's history in a particular reference to Argentinean's nation own diversity grammars, and the way that this last was reconfigured in Ushuaia. So we are not only talking about the analysis of a migrant group experience but a reflection upon exclusion and inclusion dynamics produced in the national territory by those who are marked as "foreign" adding racial marks that become difficult their acknowledgement as integrants of a national group with their gender and class specificity. So that, one of this research result is the acknowledgement that the path to understand the logics that construct Bolivian sociability as from Ushuaia migrants practices necessarily must include the following dimensions: the producer contexts of national and local sense that works as an available whole of limits and resources for the social practices, the mobility experiences present in analysed migratory trajectories that re-configure (far from the classical cannon of what is sedentary) relationships with territories and meanings and senses constructed by the migrants. What is local and what is transnational overlap their effects as a comprehension frame for the analysed case. The research defines as a central topic to understand the forms taken by the Bolivian sociability in Ushuaia the strategies to generate their presence respect and legitimacy, but specially, to achieve a Bolivian permanence in the city

Full textThis inquiry starts with the practice of bellydance in France, marked today by numerous debates around tradition and modernity. Two practices will thus be compared. On the one hand, bellydance known as Sharki, which is considered as the most “authentic” practice and the closest to the Egyptian tradition. On the other hand, the American Tribal dance, which emerged in the United States in the specific context of counter-culture.Based on fieldwork, some cross-questions common to these two practices are arising. Those are mostly about the vision of the body and the gender issues, in these almost exclusively female practices. Through the analysis of the practices and the discourses, two archetypes of femininity appear implicitly, raising the question of the construction and the representation of the feminine, but also, paradoxically, of the masculine in these two different forms of dance, yet so close one to the other. This research puts into question the construction of these stereotypical visions of the feminine, through the history of these dance forms but also in terms of movement. What are these images and imaginary representations of the feminine, and consequently, of the masculine, how are they brought into play ? How are they embodied in dance movement ?

Full textThis thesis is at the crossroads of the sociology of Catholicism and gender studies. It focuses on the masculinity of priests based on R. Connell's theoretical model. In a context of the Catholic Church's loss of control within Western societies, which is being reinforced by the sexual democratization that is taking place there, she analyses the characteristics of clerical masculinities on a triple scale: the processes of gender subjectification of priests, the various local gender regimes in a fragmented Catholicism, and, finally, the emerging mobilizations around masculinity issues within the identity pole of contemporary Catholicism. The background of this research is the battle between the different fractions of Catholicism, whose gender has become a privileged field. The thesis first analyses the effects of a symbolic disqualification in the gender order of priestly masculinity that hits a well-kept institutional secret, that of the clerical institution's function as a closet. However, far from the current Vatican discourse against homosexuality being dissuasive, its paradoxical effect is to attract homosexual candidates to the priesthood, even though the vocation has largely been abandoned by heterosexuals after having been abandoned by the working classes. It then analyses the efforts of the Catholic apparatus to counter this disqualification. Gender and sexuality are taken here in a triple dimension: a place of expression of power within the institution, a field of struggle to maintain the position of the institution within society and, finally, the object of policies implemented by its agents

Full textThe idea of disability usually implies an unfortunate difference towards a desirable model. However, some sides of the culture stemming from disability studies and activists movements suggest that disabilities aren’t only inpairments. They generate norms too. This thesis proposes the surmise of disability as a creative matter. The survey focuses on men in wheelchairs but we also pay attention to some facets of french disability associations. Able-bodied schemas are pregnant in these both points. However, in the ordinary run of things, some disabled people create social norms which can be shared but they think these are illegitimate norms. The resources to understand the experience of disability regardless of the meanings derived from the standard body are found. But they aren’t visible much in France. Then french people can’t use them in order to build their gender lives and snatches of creation stay on the threshold of instituted meanings. The messages of french associations are dependant on dominant able-bodied language. Consequently, the theme of disability lose his own affirmative and conflicting dimensions

Full textThis thesis studies the influence of work on job and life quality, the latter being considered through the perception that individuals have of their own health. The first chapter focuses on the long-term effects of job losses due to plant closure on job quality. We show that job loss negatively affects wages, perceived job insecurity, the quality of the working environment and job satisfaction, including in the long run. The two last chapters investigate gender differences in self-reported health. The second chapter provides descriptive evidence on the relationships between self-assessed health, gender and mental health problems, i.e. depression and/or affective pains. Finally, in the last chapter, we study the influence of social norms as proxied by the gender structure of the workplace environment, on gender differences in self-reported health. We show that both women and men working in female-dominated environments report more specific health problems than those who work in male-dominated environments. The overall findings of this thesis are twofold. First, losing a job has a negative impact on several dimensions of job quality and satisfaction in the long run. Secondly, mental diseases and social norms at work are important to understand gender-related differences in health perceptions

Full textProfessor of linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, Robin Tolmach Lakoff is considered, in the United States, to be the founder/founding mother of language and gender studies. Her book, Language and Woman’s Place (1975), was the starting point for subsequent research in the field of language and gender studies in the USA, but more generally in the English-speaking world. She has been interested in the relations between linguistic form and psychological context, language and gender, strategies of discourse (politeness and the indirect character of utterances), various discourse genres (psychotherapeutic and courtroom discourse). Her most recent research is based on the examination of the relations between the politics of language and the language of politics, for instance the media treatment of the Hill/Thomas hearings. The analysis of gender and power in the work of Robin Tolmach Lakoff draws on three main centres of interest around which her research is structured : - women’s language, - (mis)communication in psychotherapy, - analysis of meaning making

Full textThis thesis studies the formation and functioning of gender specific euphemisms and dysphemisms in Ukrainian (i.e. referring to men or women). The study focuses on their use in Ukrainian literary texts written between the nineteenth century and the present day. It has a linguistic dimension: dealing in particular with the lexical meaning, the mechanisms of creation and the stylistic register of euphemisms and dysphemisms. The study also has an ethnolinguistic and gender dimension – it attempts to describe the influence of traditional culture and gender stereotypes on the development, formation and functioning of the analyzed figures of style. The study is completed by a dictionary of Ukrainian gender specific euphemisms and dysphemisms, also available in electronic form. The analysis of the data collected shows a clear prevalence of dysphemisms in the works studied. Moreover, we note that the majority of entries belong to the familiar and vulgar register. Male items are particularly numerous in lexico-semantic groups describing fatuity, faintness, physical defects, inexperience, alcoholism, poverty and non-traditional sexual orientation. On the other hand, there are more female occurrences in the lexical fields of aggression, vulgarity, prostitution, grubbiness and physical unattractiveness. The study of gender specific euphemisms and dysphemisms from the ethno-linguistic angle, reveals the stereotypical depictions of men and women that prevailed at certain times and persist in today's Ukrainian society

Full textThis thesis examines the cinema which was produced in France during the Occupation (1940-1944) through the young actors and actresses, commonly referred to as romantic leads, it features. Using the theories and methods initiated by gender studies, cultural studies and star studies as by cultural history, this work intends to show how those figures of young actors and actresses reflect the sociocultural context of the Occupation, from the point of view of gender and generation relations. Using five case studies of actors and actresses who are representative of the renewal of youth figures in the films produced at the time (Marie Déa, Odette Joyeux, Micheline Presle, Madeleine Sologne and Jean Marais), this work shows that those romantic leads combine reassuring and traditional features with seditious, modern features. Thanks to this union of contradictory characteristics, they met a large and diverse audience whose interests, concerns and political sensitivities differed, at a period when the ideological control was strict, especially over young people and women, but when gender and generation hierarchic relations were challenged. This work is based on the analysis of the films, but also on their critical reception and on the way the popular press of the time constructed the image of the actors and actresses

Full textThe purpose of this dissertation is to study the representations of American women and fashion, and, as put in the subtitle, to study gender and the "politics" (or uses) of clothing in the United States from 1945 to 1970. Through the analysis of images and texts drawn from the American press of the time, the topic is analyzed through historical, social and aesthetic perspectives. The work shows that women are thought, drawn, photographed, written and described through a masculine point of view. The superiority of the masculine over the feminine is conveyed in the elaboration of a feminine norm. This norm, built on feminine models, permeates the period of study and is built on gender. Fashion imposes these feminine models, and any deviation from the norm is stigmatized. However, alternatives appear which enhance some of the arguments that will be at the core of constructionist theories and gender studies, hence asserting the social legitimacy of fashion and clothes

Full textDifferences between female and male voices are linked to complex and multidisciplinary issues. The current study focuses on phonetic and psycholinguistic aspects. The first chapter is a literature review of the field. The second chapter presents an acoustic analysis of dissyllabic words produced by Northeastern American English speakers and Parisian French speakers. Resonant frequencies, mean F0, F0 range, VOT, H1-H2 intensity differences and words’ durations were measured. Significant cross-gender differences were obtained for each tested parameter. Moreover, cross-language variations were observed. The same recordings were then used in gender identification from speech experiment. It was conducted jointly on Parisian French native listeners with French stimuli, and on American English listeners with English stimuli. Listeners had to identify the speaker’s gender and indicate their degree of certainty. Considering the acoustic analysis performed on the stimuli, it was found that American English and French listeners did not use the same strategies. The fourth and last chapter is dedicated to a word spotting experiment, conducted with French native speakers. Results suggest that these two types of voice are processed equally fast. To conclude, it appears that cross-gender acoustic differences and listeners' strategies in gender identification from voice are strongly language dependent and therefore socially constructed. Research perspectives and practical applications are proposed

Full textUsing a third text created out of the conjunction and divorce of Samuel Beckett’s self-translations of L’Innommable and The Unnamable as source material, this dissertation attempts an experiment in reading situated at the touch point between conceptual creative writing and academic research. This experiment takes the name of the tiers texte (in bold to signify the blurring of lines in movement), similar to Homi K. Bhabha’s « third space », a mobile, unrepresentable in-between space, such as the one created in translation. The "tiers texte" begins its reading with an épochè queere, an original experiment in reading methodology and neologism. The "épochè queere" brackets a host of presuppositions about reading and language, beginning with the author. It then brackets transcendental interpretation, and horizontalizes any polar signifying hierarchy it comes across (form/content, signifier/signified, das Gemeinte/das Meinen, mot/esprit, sourcier/cibliste, langue/langage etc. ). In the place of these hierarchies, a perpetually renewing activity of creation and auto-allegorization comes into play, at the point of resistance that is offered in the activity of the trope in translation
Ramdani, Karima. "Subjectivités (im)possibles : femmes, féminités et féminismes dans l’Algérie coloniale." Paris 8, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA084165.
Full textThe History of “indigenous” women in colonial Algeria has not yet been thoroughly treated. Official historiographies, both French and Algerian, have adopted dominating standpoints that make marginalised experiences, and voices, inaudible. This research aims at excavating peripheral memories and knowledge that inform about the various processes through which colonial, and patriarchal domination, makes marginalized practices and discourses invisible. Reaching those forgotten voices becomes an arduous task because of the scarcity and fragmentary character of the sources, and also because the interweaving of relations of power have rejected all that seems inappropriate, or out of the canon, outside the definition of political identities. The corollary of these intersecting power relations was the stranglehold of nationalisms on women's bodies, considered as both a means and an end, and the pressure put on women to embody the role of mothers of the nation. In this effort of "excavation", the present thesis attributes an important role to oral tradition as a heuristic source susceptible to open up to the multiple standpoints and sites of knowledge of women's experiences to whom the status of the subject has been denied. This work proposes to enlarge, and make more complex, the modern conception of the political subject, by focusing on its sudden, unforeseen dimension, the multiple forms it takes according to the context and the stakes at issue. Finally, it outlines the requirement of a history from below capable of including people like the women of this thesis - women who were speaking subjects and whose resistance has followed various, heterogeneous paths, including feminism

Full textSuetonius’s Ceasars are often considered read as a collection of emperor’s biographies in which sexual practices take a considerable place ; thereby Suetonius would be a scandalous author who would lend importance to trivial matters not worthy of a proper historian work. The contention of this Phd dissertation is first, to analyse the Ceasars from a pragmatic andenunciative point of view in order to relocate this work within the latin litterae, for Suetonius does not write biographies, and the study of his persona as an author enables one to situate the Ceasars at the liminal position between the work of a philologus and the collection of exempla. Indeed Suetonius uses devices typical of the elegy in his compsition classifying the pieces of information according to their species. One will list these species. This study will lead to the second step of our Phd dissertation : the questioning of the role played by "sexuality" in thiswork. As a matter of fact, no latin word can be translated to "sexuality", and no species refersto this category. Among the species approaching the notion of "sexuality" as understood by acontemporary reader in Suetonius’s work, one chooses to single out pudicitia. With the analysis of this sole species, one avoids to artificially rebuild a "sexuality" section, and one can relocate what we readers interpret as sexual practices within the frame of a discourse which makesroom for thematic variations on the topoi of the good prince and the tyrant

Full textThis thesis analyzes the role that gender played in the media’s representation of French presidential candidates during the 2007 elections. It proposes a review of the mainstream national press (Le Monde, Le Figaro, Libération, Aujourd’hui en France, La Croix, l’Humanité, 20 minutes, Le Nouvel Observateur, Le Point, L’Express, Marianne) during the official campaign (from 9 April to 6 May) using discourse analysis to explain the paradoxical representation of the candidates’ gender: despite the fact that gender was central to the construction of the candidates’ image, the media’s coverage of the campaign largely sidestepped the issue. Our hypothesis is that the journalistic discourse is on the surface neutral but in fact relocates the representation of gender to its margins. Through an analysis based on the varying levels of enunciative involvement in journalistic discourse, we observed, in the first place, that the traditional analysis of gender stereotypes used to describe female politicians cannot account for the representations of Ségolène Royale, the first female presidential candidate from a mainstream party with a plausible chance of being elected. Second, we observed that in journalistic genres where the discourse is apparently neutral (portraits, summaries of televised debates, and editorials), the gender dichotomy is present but marginalized. Finally, in studying this marginalized presence of gendered language, we discerned a phenomenon of distancing through reported speech, in which journalists attribute to “real people” gender characterizations according to which female identity is seen as a foil to presidential power, a power characterized rather by traits associated with masculinity. Through this enunciative distancing, journalists can employ gender representations indirectly to explain the stakes of the campaign -- dismissing them as fallacious elements of public opinion but citing them nonetheless

Full textThe goal of this dissertation is to analyse the influence of the “monogamous system”, as an ideological concept, in the reading process of contemporary Galician erotic poetry published between 2000 and 2010. Our initial hypothesis was that although the end of authorship was announced at the beginning of the twentieth century, the reception of erotic poetry continues to be done from a biographical perspective, since the poetic voices seem to be sexualized following the sex-gender system, sexual orientation and interpersonal relationship (in most cases assumed as monogomous) of the author. We analyse the critics’ discourse to deep dive into how pleasure and affection were perceived during this period. Besides, we deal directly with the poems to understand if these already established readings produced by critics and readers are the only possible ones or if other readings (in relation to sexuality) might be hidden. In short, we establish that, deconstructing the reader’s perspective and adopting a non-monogomous viewpoint, we can decode many diverse and transgressive messages that are lost due to hegemonic ideology

Full textThis work is about the construction of identity for the women who work around an artistic activity. The will to do this study came from the statement that women are more represented than men in the artistic training. However the few that came “in the limelight”, are recognized as great artists, exhibited in museum and celebrated as mentors, are really rare.I based my work on the notion of intersectionality to enrich my analysis of the notion of identity. I was interested in the concept of male domination in order to see how the power relationship is built within art worlds. I have analyzed how the artist's role is socially constructed in order to understand the ways in which female artists build their professional identityThis research is about the path of women artists perceived by three different points of view. In the life story of my interviewees, I spotlighted the label from a female differential socialisation, the disruption of the gender identity and, finally, the average of gender stereotypes in the way that women artists saw their identity. I specified the elements of the primary socialisation that has allowed them to move towards an artistic career since their childhood.In a second time I analysed how, in their secondary socialisation, women built and developed an artistic career, whose role model gave inclination to create, whose training shaped professional aspiration and whose network was implemented in the field of creation. Viewing their academic career and the beginning of their work, I detailed the way of learning a profession and codes and standards that regulate them.Finally in a third time I studied how women artists may feel perceived today, how they find their place into art worlds and what roles are approved for them. In a working world still primarily masculine I examined how women are affected by the question of family, couple and maternity, how they manage the pre-existing patterns and how they navigate into professional networks, which often means masculine self-segregation.This research brings a vision of identity building for women artists today. It allows us to envisage how the survey participants find their place into a particular professional position, because of the small number of women in this work and because of the role that this activity plays in social relationships. This research is finally a way to assess, generally speaking, the manner that gender, class and professional identity can be combined
