Unbecoming Sexual Desires for Women Becoming Sexual Subjects
Car une des contraintes qui pèsent le plus odieusement sur elles [les jeunes filles], c'est celle de l'hypocrisie. La jeune fille est vouée à la "pureté" à l'innocence précisément au moment où elle découvre en elle les troubles mystères de la vie et du sexe. . . . Oppressée, submergée, elle devient étrangère à elle-même du fait qu'elle est étrangère au reste du monde. (Beauvoir, 2: 74.) I know why I make films—partly because I want to describe fe…
Consuming Realities
Liz Constable, Consuming Realities: The Engendering of Invisible Violences in Posy Simmonds's "Gemma Bovery" (1999), South Central Review, Vol. 19/20, Vol. 19, no. 4 - Vol. 20, no. 1, Murdering Marianne?: Violence, Gender and Representation in French Literature and Film (Winter, 2002 - Spring, 2003), pp. 63-84
Economies of Lethal Emotions in La Condition humaine
When Susan Rubin Suleiman shares the response she had to André Malraux's novels as a graduate student, in "Malraux's Women: A Re-vision" (1984), she may well voice the reaction of a good many critical readers today almost 20 years later. 1 She recalls thinking, without equivocation, that "they [the novels] were not repeatable today" (141). Although Suleiman means that nobody would write those novels in the 1980s, her comment points us just as apt…
Perennial Decay
When Oscar Wilde was convicted of gross indecency in 1895, a reporter for the National Observer wrote that there was not a man or a woman in the English-speaking world possessed of the treasure of a wholesome mind who is not under a deep debt of gratitude to the marquis of Queensberry for destroying the high Priest of the Decadents. But reports of the death of decadence were greatly exaggerated, and today, one hundred years after the famous trial…
Formations, Locations and Reproductions of Fascist Fantasies
The conjunction of fascism and fantasy inevitably recalls Klaus Theweleit's extensive two volume study of Freikorps' Male Fantasies (1987). Now a decade later, four books-representing some of most important, innovative scholarly work on fascism-shift our focus to literal and figurative matrices of fascist fantasies-women. The naturalization of motherhood; fantasy of harnessing as literal reproductive organs of fascist collectivity; representation…
