Transgression(s) in Twenty-First-Century Women's Writing in French

By Kate Averis

Transgression(s) in Twenty-First-Century Women's Writing in French analyses the literary transgressions of women's writing in French since the turn of the twenty-first century in the works of major figures, such as Annie Ernaux and V?ronique Tadjo, of the now established writers of the 'nouvelle g?n?ration', such as Marie Darrieussecq and Virginie Despentes, and in some of the most exciting and innovative authors from across the francosph?re, from Nine Antico to Ma?ssa Bey and Chlo? Delaume.
Pushing the boundaries of current thinking about normative and queer identities, local and global communities, family and kinship structures, bodies and sexualities, creativity and the literary canon, these authors pose the potential of reading and writing to also effectuate change in the world beyond the text.

Transgression(s) in Twenty-First-Century Women's Writing in French ?tudie les transgressions litt?raires dans l'?criture des femmes en fran?ais depuis le d?but du XXIe si?cle. L'analyse porte sur les oeuvres de figures majeures, telles qu'Annie Ernaux et V?ronique Tadjo, d'auteures bien ?tablies de la 'nouvelle g?n?ration', parmi lesquelles Marie Darrieussecq et Virginie Despentes, et de certaines des auteures les plus innovantes de la francosph?re, de Nine Antico ? Ma?ssa Bey en passant par Chlo? Delaume. Repoussant les fronti?res de la pens?e dominante sur les identit?s normatives ou queer, les communaut?s locales ou globales, les structures familiales ou de parent?, les corps ou les sexualit?s, la cr?ativit? ou le canon litt?raire, ces auteures d?veloppent un potentiel de lecture et d'?criture porteur de changements au-del? du texte.
