Cherchez la femme
Throughout history, the most fundamental values at the basis of societal organization and culture were determined and sanctified almost exclusively by men—including the values traditionally associated with women, such as corporeal beauty, purity, motherhood, or empathy. However, from ancient times, and increasingly toward the end of the second millennium, women have succeeded in finding ways to overcome such limits and have made their contributions to the revision of values and to the establishment of new ones. Cherchez la femme offers a selection of essays inquiring into the nature of aesthetic, linguistic, cultural, and social values created, informed, or reformed by women in the French-speaking world, as well as studies on how the discourse of (male) power used female figures to strengthen its own position. With topics ranging in time from Semiramis’s ancient legend to today, and in space from Québec to Haiti, metropolitan France, and New Caledonia, the volume shares the richness and fruitfulness of the female perspective in art, culture, theory, and political action.

Tunisian Women's Writing in French
Tunisian women's literary production in French, published or set between the years 1987 and 2011 from Tunisia's second president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's rise to power to the eve of the Tunisian Revolution reveals the role of women, their political engagement, and their resistance to patriarchal oppression. A great deal of media and scholarly attention has focused on the role of women during the Tunisian Revolution itself, yet few studies have considered women's literary and active engagement prior to the uprising. By contrast, this book focuses specifically on the time period leading to the Revolution. The book is structured around three chapters, each focusing on a different form of writi...
Voi(es)x de l'autre
Ce volume soulève la question de la situation complexe des poètes femmes dans la tradition littéraire masculine. Il tente d'élargir et d'approfondir la réflexion dans le domaine de la poésie des femmes en s'inscrivant dans le prolongement des travaux de la critique littéraire féministe et/ou " féminine ", tout en proposant une approche critique plurielle. Une double interrogation le parcourt, à laquelle il ne prétend pas apporter une réponse définitive, ni exhaustive : En quoi le fait d'être une femme peut-il affecter la création en poésie ? Qu'est-ce qui fait la différence des écrits poétiques féminins ? Fruit d'une collaboration féconde entre des chercheurs spécialisÃ...

Images of War and War of Images
Contributors to this volume address the issue of the representation of warfare, in an attempt to assess the veracity or mendacity of war images and their probable impact upon the sequence of events. War images may trigger unfathomable horror or conversely and paradoxically attain sublimity. The margin is sometimes narrow between ethics and aesthetics, let alone the almost irrepressible shift from information to propaganda.
