Marie NDiaye s’impose comme l’une des voix les plus intéressantes de la littérature française contemporaine. L’obtention du prix Goncourt en novembre 2009 pour Trois femmes puissantes vient confirmer ce constat. La recherche littéraire n’a pas tardé à interroger les univers insolites de ses romans, de ses pièces de théâtre et de ses nouvelles qui semblent défier toute tentative de classification générique. Le réalisme ndiayïen agit en correcteur des formes préétablies, qui suggèrent une cohérence que la réalité n’offre pas. L’auteure refuse la parenté avec les moules des genres traditionnels et renonce à s’intégrer dans une grande et heureuse « famille » littéraire. C’est dans cette perspective que le présent ouvrage se propose de relire l’œuvre de Marie NDiaye en réfléchissant sur des sujets tels que les mécanismes d’exclusion sociale, l’étrangeté et les procédés discursifs de racialisation aussi bien que sur la dimension poétique de son écriture et sur la gestion de l’image de l’auteure et les enjeux médiatiques de sa représentation.

German-born Marie Zakrzewska (1829-1902) was one of the most prominent female physicians of nineteenth-century America. Best known for creating a modern hospital and medical education program for women, Zakrzewska battled against the gendering of science and the restrictive definitions of her sex. In Science Has No Sex, Arleen Tuchman examines the life and work of a woman who continues to challenge historians of gender to this day. At a time when most women physicians laid claim to ""female"" qualities of care and nurturance to justify their professional choice, Zakrzewska insis

In Marie Darrieussecq ou voir le monde à neuf , the first study in French of the novelist’s works to date, Colette Trout highlights the innovative qualities of her writing. Darrieussecq treats the themes of female sexuality, the search for identity, or the confrontation with death through a variety of narrative forms, melding the realistic with the fantastic. Giving special attention to the transgressive and courageous nature of Darrieussecq’s texts, Trout depicts her fearless deconstruction of the clichés that paralyze our thinking. Like an archeologist of the word, the author digs under multiple layers of language to return to words their power to “show us the world anew.” Dans Marie Darrieussecq ou voir le monde à neuf , première étude en français sur l’ensemble des textes de l’écrivaine à ce jour, Colette Trout met en lumière les qualités novatrices de son écriture. Darrieussecq aborde les thèmes de la sexualité féminine, de la recherche identitaire, ou de la confrontation avec la mort à travers une variété de formes, combinant style réaliste et fantastique. Trout souligne le côté transgressif et courageux de cette œuvre car Darrieussecq n’hésite pas à débusquer les clichés qui figent notre pensée. Véritable archéologue du verbe, elle creuse les différentes couches du langage pour redonner aux mots le pouvoir de « faire voir le monde à neuf ».

The twelve “lays” of Marie de France, the earliest known French woman poet, are here presented in sprightly English verse by poet and translator David R. Slavitt. Traditional Breton folktales were the raw material for Marie de France’s series of lively but profound considerations of love, life, death, fidelity and betrayal, and luck and fate. They offer acute observations about the choices that women make, startling in the late twelfth century and challenging even today. Combining a woman’s wisdom with an impressive technical bravura, the lays are a minor treasure of European culture.

After nearly eight centuries and much research and writing on Marie de France, the only biographical information we know about her, with any degree of certainty, is that she was from France and wrote for the Anglo-Angevin court of Henry II. Yet Marie de France remains today one of the most prominent literary voices of the end of the twelfth century and was the first woman of letters to write in French. The chapters in this book are composed by scholars who have specialized in Marie de France studies, in most cases for many years. Offering traditional views alongside new critical perspectives, the authors discuss many different aspects of her poetics.

This work is unique in showing that textiles constitute a cohesive secondary signifying system throughout the Lais of Marie de France. There they function as texts-within-a-text. Etymologically, both text and textile derive from weaving. We read these textiles as complete signs that transfer meaning, as symbols whose meaning may or may not be interpreted, or merely as signals highlighting import. The quantity of textile references in Marie's minimalistic texts emphasizes their potential for meaning. In view of the fact that women were the primary producers of textiles until the late Middle Age
