Mercurial Queer
Queer Moroccan cinematic subjects tend to leave the Maghreb for the West to fully realize their “gay” sexual subjectivity. By contrast, two recent Moroccan films, Maryam Touzani’s The Blue Caftan ( Le Bleu du caftan , 2022) and Nabil Ayouch’s Razzia (2017), insert queerness into localized forms or, more precisely, into localized networks, defined through time and space and in dialogue with Indigenous representational forms. Queer is not suddenly …

But it is also widely known that American queer thought made its intellectual way back to France in turn. A 2012 special issue of Paragraph was titled Queer Theory's Return to France, and editors Oliver Davis and Hector Kollias describe 'the return of a native'. 1 That return, however, was met with resistance, a result of traditional disciplinarity in the French university system and, more broadly, of republican universalism which tends to discou…

Masculinity and affect
The aim of this special issue is to create a greater dialogue between affect studies and masculinity studies. The contributions to the issue explore how affect functions as non-discursive intensities that may enable new forms of gendered subjectivities that subvert core tenets of masculinity, as well as how affect may be channeled into masculinities that reaffirm hegemonic or normative gender constructs. In this introduction, we discuss how mascu…
The nature of masculinity
The titular ‘nature of masculinity’ has a double sense throughout Garlick’s interesting book. Masculinity has a tendency to dominate or to take over nature, to make nature its own. Nature may be as

Reeser, Todd W. Setting Plato Straight: Translating Ancient Sexuality in the Renaissance. An article from journal Renaissance and Reformation / Renaissance et Réforme (Volume 39, Number 3, Summer 2016, pp. 5-221), on Érudit
Introduction
Masculinity studies has for a long time been interested in emotions. Two models that predominate in the literature are the ‘unemotional man’ and the ‘angry man’. Considerations of the unemotional m
Producing Awkwardness
Under neoliberalism, the relation between awkward affect and normative masculinity can be understood through two contrasting models. Awkward relations may be evoked to be contained and managed, a model exemplified by the series Impractical Jokers. The series Louie, however, showcases an awkwardness revealing the potential for new kinds of gendered relations
“ Trans France”
"TransFrance" Todd W. Reeser IN HER INTRODUCTION TO The Transgender Studies Reader, Susan Stryker writes, "Transgender studies enables a critique of the conditions that cause transgender phenomena to stand out in the first place, and that allow gender normativity to disappear into the unanalyzed, ambient background."1 In a French context, the most discursively visible cultural condition of this type is arguably the nation state. With a centralize…
Universalising Transgender Representation
In current French cultural discourse, transgender subjects tend to be constructed through binarised notions of sex and to be excluded as citizens. I argue for another way to conceive of transidentity, through a ‘majoritising’ approach in which non-trans subjects are not unlike trans subjects but rather in dialogue with them. Toward this end, I analyse a 2007 novel: Emmanuelle Pagano's Les Adolescents troglodytes, a winner of the European Union Pr…

Translation and the Antitheses of Same-Sex Sexuality in Leonardo Bruni
High Anxiety
This collection explores the evolution of notions about masculinity during the intense crisis of Renaissance and early modern France. Authors of the period reflect the anxieties about masculinity that became more pronounced against the backdrop of major events and innovations of the period: the religious conflict in France, the repeated questioning of religious and royal authority, the revival of Greek scepticism, the discovery of the New World, …
Homoerotic Space
Sexual politics in the Renaissance dictated a strong opposition to any kind of homoerotic attachments, or discussion thereof, forcing Renaissance poets and playwrights to find other means of representing these connections. In this compelling and intriguing work, Stephen Guy-Bray argues that early modern authors used renditions of Theocritan and Virgilian pastoral, as well as epic poetry, for the exploration and the allusive presentation of homoer…

The Design of Rabelais's Quart livre de Pantagruel
En analysant le “dessin” du Tiers Livre – sa composition formelle aussi bien que son intention sous-jacente – E. Duval degage la coherence profonde d’une œuvre qui passe le plus souvent pour ambigue et “menippeenne”. Cette coherence, qui se manifeste simultanement a deux niveaux (celui du dessin de Pantagruel dans la quete, celui du dessin de Rabelais dans son livre), permet a l’auteur non seulement de resoudre plusieurs apories de la critique ra…
