The proceedings of this interdisciplinary congress are here published in English to reach the broadest possible scientific audience.

Les mères juives n'existent pas
Les « mères juives » : une figure qui parle à tous. On pense en effet qu’elles sont particulièrement aimantes, dévouées, infatigables, prêtes au sacrifice, possessives, se mêlant de tout, angoissées. Mais n’est-ce pas, à l’extrême, le cas de toutes les mères ? Et si les « mères juives » nous mettaient sur la voie pour mieux comprendre la maternité, et plus encore la féminité ?Aldo Naouri, Sylvie Angel et Philippe Gutton nous livrent ici leur analyse pleine d’humour et sans polémique. Aldo Naouri est pédiatre et auteur de nombreux ouvrages dont d’immenses succès, comme Les Filles et leurs mères et Les Pères et les Mères. Sylvie Angel est psychiatre, thérapeute familiale et psychanalyste. Elle a notamment signé Ah, quelle famille !, Décrochez !, Comment bien choisir son psy. Philippe Gutton est psychanalyste et professeur émérite à l’université d’Aix-en-Provence, spécialiste de l’adolescence. Il a publié en particulier Le Pubertaire, Psychothérapie et adolescence.
From Pregnancy to Motherhood
Explores the mental states associated with pregnancy, birth and the early days of motherhood from a psychoanalytic perspective. Drawing on clinical research findings and the infant observation method originally developed by Esther Bick, the contributors examine a range of topics which include: how women's view of motherhood is influenced by social, cultural and biotechnological factors; how women's sense of identity changes throughout pregnancy and motherhood; how women's relationships with her family, partner and future child are shaped; and how mental health professionals can better understand ways to work with issues of maternal and infant mental health.--Publisher description.
The Resilient Female Body
The chapters in this book were first presented at the Women in French Biennial Conference held in Leeds in May 2004. The twelve essays explore the multifaceted commodification of the female body and provide insights into the mutations of French society and culture. British and French scholars examine the paradoxes and contradictions embodied in various images and discourses related to health and illness from different perspectives, ranging from sociological studies to analyses of working diaries, children's medical encyclopaedias and literary texts. The 'resilient female body' as epitomised by the First World War nurse tends by the end of the twentieth century to be construed as the 'sanitis...
African Mythology, Femininity, and Maternity
This book explores feminine archetypes and mythological figures in African and European traditions with an underlying goal of describing the foundations of social status for women. The author provides a rich corpus of mythology and tales to illustrate aspects of female and mother-daughter relationships. Diop analyzes the symbolic aspects of maternity and femininity, describing the social meaning of the matrix, breasts, and breastfeeding. A retrospective of female characters in African literature brings an interesting approach to explore the figures of femininity and maternity in society. After an extensive analysis of African mythology and tales, the author proposes a way to integrate them in the clinical psychotherapy as a projective material. The analysis of clinical cases offers an example of how this material can be used in therapy with women from African descent.

Milkyways
Milkyways is a collection of essays by artist Camille Henrot, exploring the ambivalence of motherhood and the process of creation in both art-making and life. Each chapter delivers a cosmos of references in literature, cartoons, art history, psychoanalysis, and more—from ancient maternity myths to modern maternity wards; from Marcel Proust to Maggie Nelson to Hélène Cixous. Alongside illustrations of the artist's work in painting, drawing, and sculpture, Henrot's perspectives in writing oscillate freely between the personal and the societal, the obvious and the more complex, the visceral and the utterly mundane. Milkyways was originally conceived for Republik magazine on invitation by An...
