Sommario/riassunto

L’idée que l’on se fait de la polarisation entre l’homme et la femme serait universelle. Tantôt on explique cette dualité par des présupposés tirés de la nature (quelle nature ?) tantôt, comme le font les « études de genre », on la considère toujours et partout comme une pure construction de l’esprit dénuée de toute justification biologique.  Emmanuel Désveaux récuse cette alternative avec force. Pour lui, il s’agit d’écouter ce que l’ethnographie - ou ses équivalents, dans le monde occidental, que sont la littérature, la peinture classique et le cinéma - a à nous dire dès lors qu’elle se penche sur trois aires culturelles radicalement distinctes : l’Amérique, l’Australie et l’Europe. L’angle d’attaque se trouve renversé : il est question de comprendre comment les conceptions - qui sont toujours d’ordre phénoménologique - de ce qui fonde la différence des sexes créent de la différence d’un point de vue culturel.

Sommario/riassunto

The period from her first London assembly to her wedding day was the narrow span of autonomy for a middle-class Englishwoman in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. For many women, as Katherine Sobba Green shows, the new ideal of companionate marriage involved such thoroughgoing revisions in self-perception that a new literary form was needed to represent their altered roles.That the choice among suitors ideally depended on love and should not be decided on any other grounds was a principal theme among a group of heroine-centered novels published between 1740 and 1820. During these d
