Beyond Écriture Féminine
"Beyond 'Ecriture feminine' is the first book to be published exploring the work of the contemporary French author Jeanne Hyvrard (1945-) from her early novels of the 1970s up to some of her most recent texts. Moving critical accounts of Hyvrard beyond a focus upon ecriture feminine, it identifies the patterns though which her writing repeats and transforms creation mythology, her own oeuvre, and her own life, examining how intertextual repetitions bind her work together into a complex and ever expanding web of allusions and resonnances which engages the reader in a process of constant re-interpretation, challenging notions of linearity and reflecting the 'chaotic' reality of life in the Hyvrardian world."--BOOK JACKET.
Madness in Twentieth-century French Women's Writing
This book offers a discussion of the trope of madness in twentieth-century French women's writing, focusing on close readings of the following texts: Violette Leduc's L'Asphyxie (1946), Marguerite Duras's Le Ravissement de Lol V. Stein (1964), Simone de Beauvoir's 'La Femme rompue' (1967), Marie Cardinal's Les Mots pour le dire (1975), Jeanne Hyvrard's Les Prunes de Cythère (1975) and Mère la mort (1976). The discussion traces the evolution in the way madness is taken up by women authors from the key period starting just prior to the emergence of second-wave feminism and culminating at the height of the écriture féminine project. This study argues that madness offers itself up to these authors as a powerful means to convey a certain ambivalence towards changing contemporary ideas on the authority of authorship. On the one hand a highly enabling means to figure transgression, the madwoman is equally the repository for a twentieth-century 'anxiety of authorship' on the part of the woman writer.
Dialogues avec Jeanne Hyvrard
L'activité littéraire de Jeanne Hyvrard ne reste plus à présenter: de Les prunes de Cythère, Mère la mort, Les doigts du figuier jusqu'à Canal de la Toussaint, La pensée corps, Cellla, Le fichu écarlate et bien au-delà, la voix de Jeanne Hyvrard, émouvante et ferme, terriblement ancrée et radieusement visionnaire, est parvenue à fonder, sans conteste, une des grandes oeuvres de notre temps. Les dialogues que présente ce livre interrogent avec une chaleureuse intelligence le cheminement de la pensée qui sous-tend l'aventure ontologique exceptionnelle de cette oeuvre et cherchent à pénétrer dans les secrets et les clartés de ses parfois déroutantes mais toujours exaltantes beautés.
The Devil, the Lovers, & Me
The author describes her survival of an abusive relationship, her mother's mid-life sexual proclivities, and the interference of friends and her father during a promising new romance, challenges that prompted her visit to an atypical tarot card reader.
