Ana Paiva Morais: "L'écriture sexualisée : différence sexuelle, virginité et androgynie dans les fabliaux"
Abstract:
This paper analyses the question of sexual difference in the fabliaux of the Middle Ages and its connection to the development of poetic language in the medieval system of literary genres. The topoi of gender are studied in their relation to the comic topoi of the masculine / feminine in other medieval dominant genres such as the Arthurian courtly romance and hagiography. I begin by briefly studying the fabliau re-elaboration of the theological analogy between poetic language and feminine language; secondly, I describe the process of poeticizing virginity, at the level of topos, in order to show how (temporarily) woman's generic neutrality is suspended, and how this reflects upon the medieval logic of meaning; finally, I turn to the topoi of androgyny and sexual disguise as language constructs.
