Sommario/riassunto

Cet ouvrage explore les figurations de l’androgynie et de l’hermaphrodisme dans la littérature britannique de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle : notamment dans les romans de Brigid Brophy, In Transit, d’Angela Carter, The Passion of New Eve, de Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body, de Peter Ackroyd, Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem et de Will Self, Cock and Bull. La figure de l’androgyne, opérateur de métamorphoses et symbole de la conjonction des opposés par excellence, balise un terrain textuel de l’instabilité et de la réversibilité, permettant de penser les contraires dans un rapport de pro-thèse plus que synthèse. En réinvestissant les mythes platonicien et ovidien d’un nouveau sens, la littérature contemporaine fonctionne selon une double logique de l’exhibition monstrueuse et de la surenchère qui vise la renégociation des normes sociales et du rapport à l’altérité. Enfin, les dimensions éthique et politique de la figure seront abordées. L’androgyne contemporain permet de réarticuler le sujet comme étant interconnecté à, constitué par et responsable de l’Autre, engendrant



une pensée de la relation éthique ainsi qu’une pratique de la sollicitude.

Sommario/riassunto

This collective work provides a reflexive reading of environmental democracy as a new method of governance of the contemporary ecological issues that declining biodiversity, climate change and sustainable development present.   The authors examine the links between the environment and democracy by questioning the status of actors, the manner of their involvement, the various ways of mobilising knowledge and the mechanisms of dialogue and decision-making based on study cases observed in different national contexts (Italy, France, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, Russia, Canada and Brazil). This international approach sheds light on the means of appropriation of environmental democracy on a local level and its ability to promote universal characteristics or to standardise the connection to the environment and politics.   The originality of this work comes, among other things, from its transversality, associating texts with differing theoretical outlooks and methodology in an innovative way. Through this perspective on-going processes of redefining environmental problems are revealed via the prisms of risks and uncertainty, thus assigning them a new role in aiding decision-making in a sociology that is in turn critical and committed.
