Alors que l'œuvre d'Albert Camus est souvent perçue comme dominée par le masculin, Noces pour femme seule étudie pour la première fois l'importante présence du féminin dans l'ensemble des textes fictifs, la reliant à celle du sacré. La mise en présence de ces deux paradoxes de l'œuvre y dégage de nouvelles lignes de force et met en évidence, à travers les présences et les voix féminines, des aspirations fondamentales souvent méconnues. L'analyse du paradoxe du sacré, d'ordre religieux et philosophique, cherche à concilier l'agnosticisme de l'auteur et sa philosophie initiale de l'absurde, qui nie toute transcendance, avec un sens du sacré quasi omniprésent. L'analyse du paradoxe du féminin, d'ordre mythique et psychique et se manifestant à travers un jeu alterné d'absences/présences et de silences/paroles, se base principalement sur une approche sémiotique kristevienne du maternel et du féminin comme "dernier refuge du sacré". Cette double approche éclaire les différends métaphysiques entre le masculin et le féminin, la solitude de la femme, et enfin l'expérience initiatique de "La Femme adultère", nouvelle qui culmine dans la fusion des deux paradoxes traités - soit les "noces" du féminin et du sacré. Finalement, il apparaît au cours de l'étude que la relation du féminin et du sacré dans l'œuvre est fondée sur l'expérience du désir qu'engendre l'absence/silence de l'Autre.

The notorious image of Pandora haunts mythology: a woman created as punishment for the crimes of man, she is the bearer of hope yet also responsible for the earth's desolation. She binds together perpetuating dichotomies that underlie the most fundamental aspects of the Western canon: beauty and evil, body and soul, depth and superficiality, truth and lie. Speaking in multiplicity, Pandora emerges as the first sign of female complexity. In this compelling study, Vered Lev Kenaan offers a radical revision of the Greek myth of the first woman. She argues that Pandora leaves a decisive mark on ancient poetics and shows that we can unravel the profound impact of Pandora's image once we recognize that Pandora embodies the very idea of the ancient literary text. Locating the myth of the first woman right at the heart of feminist interrogation of gender and textuality, Pandora's Senses moves beyond a feminist critique of masculine hegemony and shows the centrality of this iconic figure among the poetics of such central genres as the cosmological and didactic epic, the Platonic dialogue, the love elegy, and the ancient novel. Pandora's Senses innovates our understanding of gender as a critical lens through which to view ancient literature.

The form of art called fiction has always been the privileged framework providing the perfect alibi for facing, framing, and containing the Other's desire and the strange libido attached to violence: in other words, there is an ambivalent dimension inherent in the scenarios and fantasies we enjoy by proxy. Are not the fairy tales of our childhood full of images of death and violence, whose fascinating presence is paradoxically meant to make us feel all the more safely tucked up in bed? After ...
