Le mythe au féminin et l'(in)visibilisation du corps [French]

By sous la direction de Brigitte Le Juez

Dans une perspective innovante et interdisciplinaire ( thique, mythocritique, sociocritique, psychanalyse, th ories du genre), des figures mythiques f minines et autres, r v latrices de notre regard sur le monde, sont ici analys es sous les aspects vari s de leurs transformations dans la litt rature, le cin ma et travers des v nements historiques de ce dernier si cle. Les treize auteures des essais qui composent ce volume, venues de dix pays et de quatre continents, pr sentent la mani re dont les mythes grecs, bibliques, africains - parfois sources de nouveaux mythes n s de conflits ou traumatismes modernes - permettent de rendre visibles les paradigmes de pens e qui conditionnent les rapports humains, surtout la perception du corps encore sous l'emprise d'un imaginaire collectif soumis la domination patriarcale.

Within an innovative and interdisciplinary framework including ethics, myth criticism, sociocriticism, psychoanalysis and gender theories, mythical figures, feminine and others that reveal the ways we perceive the world, are being analyzed in light of the various aspects pertaining to their transformations through the literature, cinema and historical events of this past century. The contributors of the thirteen essays that comprise the present volume, originating from ten countries and four continents, elaborate the manner in which Greek, Biblical and African myths, occasionally generating new myths borne out of contemporary conflicts or traumas - unveil the belief systems that define human relationships, in particular the perception of the body, still subject to a collective imaginary conditioned by the patriarchal supremacy. - Selected as one of the shortlisted volumes of the 2024 Excellence Award for collaborative research of the European Society of Comparative Litterature (second place ex aequo).
