A reading of Edward Munch's painting Separation is proposed on a double register: separation as a description of the couple that refers to an older unconscious scenario. Considering the artist's history, it is hypothesized that the separation from the female figure in the painting summarizes the unconscious traces of the loss of the mother. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Dans les récits de Leonora Miano, notamment “L’intérieur de la nuit”, “Contours du jour qui vient” et “Saison de l’ombre”, les sujets féminins n’ont aucune destination précise. Car leur parcours incertain participe à construire une identité dysphorique, une identité fissurée. De ce fait, leur mobilité spatio-temporelle combinée à l’incertitude de leur devenir provoque la dispersion et la transfiguration identitaire. Cette mobilité transfrontalière impose aux personnages la reconfiguration de leur identité. Dès lors, les personnages Ayané, Musango et Eyabe, dans cette reconstruction, errent, marchent et se dispersent. Dans cet article, nous cherchons à montrer comment l’incertitude provoque chez les personnages féminins une envie permanente de bouger. Afin de mieux apprécier les transformations identitaires chez Miano, nous ferons recours à la géocritique de Bertrand Westphal. Cette grille d’analyse permet d’examiner leurs parcours et de déterminer le lien existant entre espace-temps et identité. Notre analyse consiste essentiellement à déterminer les formes de vie transgressive ainsi que le parcours identitaire des personnages féminins.

Cet article explore la tendance à l'élan utopique dans ses romans récents de Léonora Miano. À la lecture des deux tomes de Crépuscule du tourment (2016-2017), de La Saison de l'ombre (2013) et de Rouge impératrice (2019), l'article montre que dans chaque cas des constructions fictionnelles pouvant être vues comme des hétérotopies (Foucault) compliquent les représentations sociales dans les romans. Bien que le masculin et le féminin soient deux principes distincts dans la pensée de Miano, cette complexité ouvre des possibilités pour une certaine fluidité de genre.

De nombreux travaux se sont intéressés au phénomène de radicalisation puis de départ pour le djihad d'adolescents français. Une question spécifique concerne la conversion à l'Islam puis la radicalisation et le départ pour le djihad d'adolescents non musulmans. L'objectif principal de cet article est de montrer tout d'abord les conséquences subjectives d'une conversion à l'Islam dans un contexte où l'environnement est saturé par le discours totalitaire d'un Islam politique puis les conséquences d'une défaillance de l'environnement qui entrave des identifications secondaires à un féminin désirable. Les liens entre mères et adolescents sont au cœur de cet article. La méthode utilisée est celle de l'analyse, à partir de la théorie psychanalytique, des entretiens non directifs avec des mères concernées par la conversion à l'Islam à l'adolescence de leurs enfants et leurs départs pour le djihad en Syrie et en Irak dans les années 2010 et suivantes. Le contexte spécifique des entretiens (annonce récente de la mort des adolescents ou détention dans des camps) a nécessité une adaptation du cadre des entretiens de recherche afin de créer et de maintenir un lien transférentiel. L'analyse des entretiens ont permis de confirmer l'importance subjective de la conversion à l'Islam comme évènement psychique majeur équivalent à la découverte du féminin au travers de la présence massive de fantasmes matricides. Ces fantasmes prennent la forme de la pratique anachronique de la taqîya , du départ pour le djihad. Ils se retrouvent dans les liens conservés après le départ. Elle porte sur la place des pères et des fratries qui n'a pu être explorée et est une ouverture vers d'autres recherches. Les pères semblent occuper une place spécifique liée à la nécessité de contacter les autorités, les ONG et sont souvent dans l'agir. Peu de pères ont souhaité participer à la recherche. Les fratries ont été très impactées par le départ d'un frère ou d'une sœur mais leurs réactions sont très diverses et méritent d'être explorées plus avant. L'adolescence est ce temps où la question du féminin et du religieux peut être concordant et peut se renverser dans son contraire en haine du féminin. Elle est bien le socle sur lequel s'appuie toutes les idéologies politiques totalitaires ou politico-religieuses. Many studies have looked at the phenomena of radicalization and then departure for jihad of French adolescents. A specific question concerns the conversion to Islam followed by a radicalization and departure for jihad of non-Muslim adolescents. This article aims to show the subjective consequences of a conversion to Islam in a context where the environment is saturated by the totalitarian discourse of political Islam and then fails to allow secondary identifications with the desirable feminine. The relationship between mothers and teenagers is at the heart of this work. The method used is that of an analysis, based on psychaoanalytical theory, of non-directive interviews with mothers concerned by the conversion to Islam in adolescence of their children and their departure for jihad in Syria and Iraq starting in the second decade of the 21st century. The specific context of the interviews (recent announcement of death or announcement of detention in the camps) required an adaptation of the research interview frame in order to create and maintain a transferential link. The results obtained through the analysis of the interviews and of the research transference, oriented by psychoanalytic theory, made it possible to confirm the subjective importance of conversion to Islam as a major psychic event equivalent to the discovery of the feminine through the massive presence of matricidal fantasies. These fantasies take the form of the anachronistic practice of taqîya, of the departure for jihad, and remain in the links maintained after the adolescents' departure. The discussion focuses on the place of fathers and siblings, which could not be explored in the context of this article, thus presenting an opening for further research. Fathers seem to occupy a specific place linked to the need to contact the authorities, the NGOs; they are often the ones to take action. Siblings are very affected by the departure of a brother or a sister, but their reactions are very diverse and merit further exploration. Adolescence is a time when questions of the feminine and of the religious can be concordant, and can be reversed into their opposite in the hatred of the feminine. It is indeed the foundation on which all totalitarian political ideologies or religious-politico ideologies are built. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper the author explores a cultural narrative that she suggests rests on the concepts of the Feminine and Masculine as such, employing both as though they contain an agreed set of universal givens. These givens are extrapolated from an androcentric perspective on female and male bodies, in particular their biological functions regarding reproduction. The metaphors of the baby‐in‐womb, mother's preoccupation with child and heteronormative sexual relations are the primary cyphers for the narrative. She suggests that remaining unconscious of this narrative, such that it is taken as a universal given, can hamper a person's relation to themselves, the world and others. The author names two concepts, Home and Identity: Home being an hospitable and accommodating space with Identity denoting the one who inhabits the space. In the narrative these two are unhelpfully categorized as belonging to the Feminine and the Masculine respectively. For ease of understanding the author uses a capital letter to designate an abstract idea, and lower case when referring to the concrete or particular. Clinical examples are given throughout the paper to illustrate how acknowledgement and awareness of this narrative might free the analyst or therapist to think more broadly around issues pertaining to space and identity.

From a psychoanalytical perspective, violence against women must be approached as violence against the feminine -a Lacanian concept that goes beyond the anatomy or the man/woman dichotomy and involves different modes of jouissance. Although there have been many advances in the social and legal fields, addressing violence still demonstrates the fragility and the need for policies and rights for women. This paper is based on articulating the image and discourse resources made in the miniseries Maid to address specific topics consistent with the problem and draw implications for theory and clinic. Thus, it seeks to reflect on the possible subjective strategies for coping with domestic violence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to discuss a destiny for the feminine that does not go through phallocentric Freudian solutions. For this purpose, it recaptures Freud and Lacan's course about femininity and the feminine, respectively. It resorts, however, to an episode of James Joyce's Ulysses, namely Molly Bloom's monologue, to illustrate what a woman can astutely do with the know-how of feminine enjoyment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This essay proposes that the conceptualization of the "sexual" in psychoanalysis must be studied in its polysemy and complexity. It aims to identify some problematic knots in Freud's and Lacan's work when claiming the relationship between sexuality and the unconscious. It examines Oedipus and the castration complex in Freud's, and the formulae of sexuation and the logic of not-all in Lacan's. Finally, it establishes some links between psychoanalysis and the thinking of authors such as Butler and Preciado, among others from the Ljubljana philosophical school, in order to argue that sexuality is an epistemic-political field of action that confronts the biopolitical and historicist approaches with the negative ontology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In some contemporary psychoanalytic theories, a thesis has emerged according to which gender transition can constitute a sinthome. But gender remains a much-discussed notion in Lacanian psychoanalysis, especially in France. This article contributes to the debate by questioning the notion of femininity since it seems to be an essential point in how gender studies and Lacanian sexuation theory diverge. First, we clarify the Lacanian notion of femininity and its conceptual link to the notion of sinthome. Then, we discuss the clinical case of a transgender woman for whom the question of femininity was central during her transition. Finally, we argue how gender transition might function as a sinthome and the limits to such an understanding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

L'auteur se propose de confronter les deux champs contigus du féminin et du maternel à partir des considérations freudiennes sur le “continent noir” qu'est la féminité et de la notion de jouissance féminine déployée par Jacques Lacan. A la lumière de la psychopathologie clinique psychanalytique, cet article veut mettre en évidence que si l'Œdipe ne fait pas La femme, le fait du ravage qui en est sa conséquence, envahit aussi bien le féminin que le maternel. En effet, la part de jouissance opaque de la mère, soit le féminin dans la mère, contamine la féminité tout comme la maternité d'une femme, tel qu'en témoigne le rapport de ravage qui peut exister entre une fille et sa mère. Il s'agira ainsi de pointer que, pas plus que le devenir femme, le devenir mère n'est donné d'emblée mais qu'il se construit du rapport au langage, au fantasme, à la jouissance et à l'Autre en la figure de l'amour maternel, pour chaque une.

The conflicts of the outer couple (crises, separations, divorces) with a high incidence in the rates of depression, reveal the archetypal dysfunction of the relationship between the inner-couple (in-shadow) and the outer-couple (in-crisis). To understand this in depth, a new animated and integrated model of the masculine (animus) and the feminine (anima) is explored. It is a transformational model, in which Jung's contributions are integrated and understood as knowledge in transition. Masculine and feminine cosmogonic principles are personified in the human psyche as anima-animus archetypes-complexes. Their relationship, mediated by the binding eros (cosmogonic-eros), configures the inner-couple-complex. Masculine and feminine are differentiations of the Self energy, present in both men and women. In the conscious dimension, they structure the ego-anima-animus identity; in the dimension of the personal unconscious, the anima-animus complexes; and at the archetypal level, the deep identity of the primordial feminine/masculine. In this initial restructured model, the anima-animus relationship and the description of the dual quaternity as the dynamics of the inner-outer couple interrelation are especially significant. The breadth and comprehensive richness of the new model is illustrated in the clinical/dream material of a patient under analysis, presenting the dynamics: inner couple in shadow - outer couple in crisis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Civilization in Transition, the sociological writings of Carl Gustav Jung referring to processes of social transformation in the first half of the 20th century, is a source of inspiration to reflect on the social upheaval that we are facing in the second decade of the 21st century: crises such as the depredation of our natural resources with subsequent climate change; high incidence of feminicide and violence against women and children. The 'Mother Earth', women, the feminine and the dynamics of connection, solidarity and inclusion are being threatened and destroyed. Using the myth and symbolism of the image of Patasola as a starting point, this study seeks to unravel the archetypal roots that have led to exile both to the dark dimension - destructive and self-destructive - as well as to the luminous dimension - autonomy, authority and independence - of the feminine identity. From a psychological standpoint, this paper explores the way that feminine identity, that inhabits the collective unconscious, has been expressed in various patterns since our beginnings as a nation, throughout our history, and how it is still in force through the cultural complex of the undervaluation of the feminine. Finally, we will look at the potential for redemption implicit in the myth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The author proposes to confront the two contiguous fields of the feminine and the maternal based on Freud's considerations on the "black continent", i.e. femininity, and on the notion of feminine jouissance deployed by Jacques Lacan. In the light of clinical psychoanalytical psychopathology, this article aims to highlight that if Oedipus does not make The Woman, the fact of the devastation which is its consequence invades the feminine, as well as the maternal. Indeed, the opaque part of the mother's jouissance, i.e. the feminine in the mother, contaminates both the woman's femininity and her maternity, as shown by the devastating relationship that can exist between a daughter and her mother. Thus, we point out that no more than becoming a woman, becoming a mother is not given from the outset, it is rather constructed from the relationship with language, with fantasy, with jouissance and with the Other in the figure of maternal love, for each one.

This paper presents an unpublished translation of Victor Hugo’s poem Oh! n’insultez jamais une femme qui tombe!... (1835, Les Chants du crépuscule), followed by a commentary on the semantic and formal choices. The text of the great French novelist and poet was translated according to a general desire of modernization, which led us to make a certain number of non-literal choices. Nevertheless, we have tried to resonate in the Italian text the stylistic vivacity of the original and its remarkable civic character.

Dans L’Adolescence clémentine, l’icône de la Ferme Amour peut cacher un tendre amour plus discret, que les lecteurs anciens reconnaissaient chez Marot, alors que les lecteurs des dernières décennies y sont plutôt indifférents. Réhabiliter la tendresse comme vertu, la soustraire à la hiérarchie des styles ou des âges qui, d’ordinaire, en limite l’extension, c’est une manière de promouvoir une certaine idée du masculin et un certain regard sur les rapports entre hommes et femmes.

The relationship between transference and feminine in psychoanalysis arises from the discovery of transference, in which, in Dora's case, the presence of the feminine is not only because it is a woman but due to the stumbling blocks in the handling of the case, which caused Freud postulated transference precisely in what the method had failed, revealing the erotic dimension present in every treatment. This revelation is made not only by the content worked by Freud in this case but by the mystery of femininity, which placed itself to Dora and Freud himself. Dedicating itself to this first moment, in which the feminine appears in the transference bond, this article investigates the answers given, from Freud to Lacan, to the feminine that poses as a constant interrogation to the limits of the phallic signifier and, without departing from it, reveals a not-all phallic position that can contribute to the management of transference.

À la fin de Médée, La Péruse fait tenir à l’héroïne des propos particulièrement inquiétants, puisqu’elle indique que le spectacle qui vient d’avoir lieu pourra « [apprendre] à [son] sexe à se pouvoir vanger » (La Péruse, 1990 [s.d.] : 42). Comment comprendre ces vers? On peut conclure à l’ironie du dramaturge, puisque Médée, infanticide et régicide, ne saurait être sérieusement érigée en exemple. Néanmoins, si on se met à l’écoute de la Colchidienne, on peut observer d’autres résultats : La Péruse semble insister sur les pouvoirs de la parole féminine, si bien que Médée pourrait apprendre aux femmes non le meurtre, mais la puissance des mots.

The author explores clinical implications of Julia Kristeva's concept of the abject. The abject describes the developmental moment when the infant is first separating from the mother, when separation of self from other is incomplete and tenuous. The other, still desired, must be made abject, extruded from the self with a lingering sense of horror and terror. The concept of the abject underlies the feelings of desire and fear directed toward the "feminine" or the maternal body by individuals and society and provides an explanation of misogyny. The author provides clinical material to illustrate this concept in men who loathe and desire the female body, and in women who hate themselves and their female bodies. The clinical cases raise issues about the primitive affect of horror, how the abject is related to early narcissism, and the inseparability of desire, affect, defence, and object.

Dans cet article, je propose une analyse du fantasme ontologique comme objet du désir féminin dans My Mother: Demonology de Kathy Acker. En prenant comme prémisse le statut suspect de l’« être féminin », j’entends montrer comment Acker reprend et réinvestit les tropes des traditions philosophique et psychanalytique pour produire le possible ontologique du sujet féminin. Le phallus est considéré traditionnellement comme le signifiant privilégié de la différence sexuelle. Il détient un privilège épistémique masculin quant à l’« idéalisation originaire » de l’être. La nécessité de produire d’autres modes de subjectivation amène Acker à faire du sexe féminin le lieu de ce fantasme conceptuel. De fait, l’écrivaine parodie la prémisse psychanalytique qui lie la sexualité féminine au déni de son manque, reléguant l’être et l’énonciation du sujet féminin du côté de l’absence. Mettant en œuvre dans l’écriture un désir qui ne suit pas la logique métonymique et métaphorique phallogocentrique, mais convoquant plutôt un régime de sens qui obéit à la fonction littérale et matérielle du langage, Acker opère une transition de l’ordre symbolique à l’ordre sémiotique. L’être du sujet féminin devient ainsi l’objet d’un désir d’énonciation.

Cette contribution interroge les ressorts et enjeux psychiques singuliers de la trajectoire prostitutionnelle. De notre point de vue, l'entrée, le maintien et la sortie de la prostitution constitueraient des moments-clés dans le parcours de vie du sujet et révèleraient des aménagements psychiques différenciés. Dans le cadre de cette publication, nous cherchons à saisir ce que la pratique prostitutionnelle – ici des femmes – vient signifier de leur fonctionnement psychique et comment il trouve sa place dans leur histoire de vie. À partir du cas clinique de Mme G., au décours d'entretiens non directifs de recherche, nous explorons l'histoire de vie, la trajectoire prostitutionnelle et les remaniements du féminin dans l'après-coup de la prostitution. Le cas de Mme G. témoigne que le recours à la prostitution peut relever d'une tentative de dégagement de la résonance intrapsychique d'expériences traumatiques. Nous formulons l'hypothèse d'une agressivité autrefois subie, refoulée et retournée contre elle-même. Les processus de retournement contre soi et de renversement de la passivité en activité figurent un vécu d'impuissance et une dimension masochiste au service d'un narcissisme et d'un féminin vacillants, mis à mal par des expériences traumatiques précoces. La culpabilité introjectée génèrerait une auto-dévalorisation sadique et féroce et participerait à la mobilisation du registre masochiste moral dans la recherche inconsciente de punition dans la prostitution et son après-coup. Malgré sa sortie de la prostitution, Mme G. ne peut témoigner d'une rupture avec ce vécu de culpabilité animé par la pulsion de destruction. Dans ce sens, la prostitution peut se comprendre comme une actualisation d'une conflictualité psychique et susceptible de déplacements dans les différents espaces de vie du sujet. La lecture clinique proposée ne prétend pas fournir un savoir généralisable à propos de la prostitution pas plus qu'elle ne vise à repérer ou à signaler une quelconque spécificité de la pratique prostitutionnelle. Au-delà de la prostitution, c'est aussi la complexité du parcours de vie qui est questionnée ainsi que les ressorts conscients, inconscients du fonctionnement psychique et leurs répercussions tout au long du parcours de vie. Dans cette logique, le processus de sortie de la prostitution serait à entendre comme des opportunités de remaniements et de réaménagements psychiques. This contribution questions the singular motivations s and the psychic challenges of the prostitution trajectory. From our point of view, entering, remaining in, and leaving prostitution would be key moments in the subject's life and would reveal differentiated psychological arrangements. In the context of this publication, we seek to grasp what prostitution – here, of women – means in terms of their psychic functioning and how it finds its place in their life story. Focusing on the clinical case of Ms. G., over the course of non-directive research interviews, we explore the life story, the journey through prostitution, and the reworkings of the feminine after leaving prostitution. Ms. G.'s case demonstrates that the use of prostitution may be an attempt to unravel the intrapsychic resonance of traumatic experiences. We hypothesize the presence of an aggressiveness that was previously the cause of suffering, which Ms. G. subsequently repressed and turned against herself. The processes of turning against oneself and of the reversal of passivity into activity represent a lived experience of helplessness and a masochistic dimension in the service of a vacillating narcissism and femininity, undermined by early traumatic experiences. The introjected guilt would generate a sadistic and ferocious self-devaluation and would contribute to the mobilization of the moral masochistic register in the unconscious search for punishment in prostitution and its aftermath. Despite her leaving prostitution, Ms. G. remains in thrall to this experience of guilt fueled by the drive to destroy herself. In this sense, prostitution can be understood as an actualization of a psychic conflict that is susceptible to be displaced throughout the subject's lived experiences. The proposed clinical reading does not claim to provide generalizable knowledge about prostitution, any more than it aims to identify or point out any specificity of prostitution. Beyond prostitution, it is also the complexity of the subject's life trajectory that is questioned as well as the conscious and unconscious motivators of psychic functioning and their repercussions throughout life. Following this logic, the process of leaving prostitution should be understood as an opportunity for psychic reworkings and rearrangements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

En appui sur les données issues d'une vaste recherche médico-psychopathologique proposée à des jeunes filles atteintes d'une agénésie utéro-vaginale — syndrome de Rokitansky ou Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) — notre travail propose l'analyse psychodynamique de la valeur et de la fonction pour l'économie psychosomatique d'une réaction fréquente à l'annonce diagnostique : le développement d'un désordre alimentaire de type prise de poids chez 4 patientes sur 40. La mise en perspective de l'analyse de deux cas de patientes permet d'affiner la compréhension du sens de cette émergence alimentaire dont nous faisons l'hypothèse qu'elle constitue à la fois une modalité défensive signalant les impasses du processus de construction du féminin mais aussi possiblement un levier de transformation psychique de ses incidences traumatiques. Quarante jeunes femmes MRKH âgées de 19 à 34 ans (avec un âge moyen de 25 ans ½) ont été rencontrées. La recherche leur a été proposée de 2 à 17 ans après leur annonce diagnostique et le travail clinique a consisté en une analyse rétrospective de leur expérience traumatique adolescente. Le récit des patientes a été recueilli à l'aide d'un entretien clinique à visée de recherche non directif. Deux épreuves projectives (Rorschach et Thematic Apperception Test – TAT) leur ont également été proposées pour appréhender plus finement les modalités de leur fonctionnement psychique. Les données des entretiens font l'objet d'une analyse clinique thématique ; les protocoles du Rorschach et du TAT sont analysés selon la méthode d'interprétation de l'École Française référée à la théorie psychanalytique du fonctionnement psychique. Le matériel issu des rencontres avec deux patientes diagnostiquées à l'âge de 17 ans et ayant présenté dans la suite de cette annonce une prise de poids de 10 kg est ici comparé de manière approfondie. Le repérage de contrastes en termes de problématiques et de niveaux d'élaboration entre l'entretien et les protocoles projectifs est saisissant pour chaque patiente. À travers l'analyse de l'entretien, le symptôme alimentaire de la patiente 1 paraît survenir dans un contexte psychique où l'intériorité féminine semble irreprésentable. Les protocoles projectifs révèlent à l'inverse l'accès à un travail du féminin conflictuel et symbolisé. De même, le discours de la patiente 2 sur son symptôme est à première vue bien plus élaboré que celui de la patiente 1 puisque celle-ci établit un lien subjectif entre le renoncement au projet de maternité impliqué par l'annonce du MRKH et la dimension compensatoire procurée par la prise de poids. Pourtant, le contraste offert par les tests projectifs dont les productions traduisent au contraire les fragilités identitaires et une insuffisante symbolisation du sexuel témoigne de la valeur défensive de l'excès de symbolisation de son discours manifeste dans l'entretien. Ces contrastes amènent à envisager le remplissage alimentaire comme une tentative de traitement d'une sexualité féminine déjà conflictuelle voire en impasse avant la découverte du MRKH. Ses accents traumatiques sont réactualisés et potentialisés à la faveur de l'annonce diagnostique. Les différents niveaux de problématiques repérés peuvent cohabiter chez une même femme, qu'il s'agisse d'un féminin ni construit ni intégré, d'un impossible investissement du corps interne ou d'un contre-investissement de l'impossible maternité. Dans ce contexte, l'étiopathogénie de la prise de poids qui succède à l'annonce du diagnostic est pour chaque jeune fille singulière mais toujours en lien avec un féminin et/ou un maternel atteint. En conclusion, si la prise de poids qui suit le diagnostic traduit une entrave voire une impasse (éventuellement ponctuelle) du traitement psychique de ses effets, cette annonce médicale à l'adolescence peut constituer une nouvelle chance pour ces jeunes filles, celle d'un après-coup à la valeur potentiellement mutative. Based on data from a vast medical-psychopathological research study proposed to girls suffering from utero-vaginal agenesis — Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH) —, the value and the function of a frequently occurring (10%) bulimic disorder (with weight gain) at the announcement of the diagnosis are analyzed from a psychodynamic perspective. The psychic implications of the diagnosis and its consequences in terms of the modalities of the sessions with these adolescents, alongside genital sexuality, are underlined. The analysis of two cases studies, put into perspective, allows us to refine our understanding of the meaning of this food-related symptom. Therefore, this could both constitute a defensive modality signaling the impasses of the process of construction of the feminine as it could be a lever of psychic transformation of the traumatic repercussions of this process. Forty young MRKH women aged 19 to 34 (with an average age of 25 ½) are met. The research is offered to them from two to 17 years after their diagnostic announcement; clinical reflection consists of a retrospective analysis of their adolescent traumatic experience. The patients' stories are collected using a clinical research non-directive interview. Two projective methods — Rorschach and Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) — are also proposed to better understand the modalities of their psychic functioning at the time of the clinical encounters. Interview data are subjected to a thematic clinical analysis. The protocols of the Rorschach and of the TAT are analyzed according to the method of interpretation of the French School, which refers to the psychoanalytic theory of psychic functioning. The material, resulting from sessions with two patients diagnosed with MRKH at the age of 17 and having gained 10 kg in the aftermath of this announcement, is compared in a thorough way. The contrasts — in terms of problematics and of levels of elaboration — between the interview and the projective protocols are striking for each patient. With the analysis of the interview, the bulimic symptom of the first patient occurs in a psychic context where feminine interiority seems unrepresentable. On the contrary, projective protocols reveal access to conflicting and symbolic feminine work. In the same way, the second patient's discourse about her symptom is at first sight much more elaborate than that of the first patient; she establishes a subjective link between the renunciation of maternity inherent in the announcement of MRKH and the compensatory dimension provided by weight gain. However, the discrepancy with the projective tests is surprising in this second patient. Indeed, her productions reflect fragilities in her identity and an insufficient symbolization of the sexual that testify to the defensive value of the excessive symbolization of her speech, evident in the interview. These contrasts lead us to consider binge-eating as an attempt to treat an already conflicting female sexuality, even in deadlock, before the discovery of MRKH. Its traumatic accents are updated and potentiated with the diagnostic announcement. The different levels of identified problems can coexist in a same woman, whether it is a feminine that has neither been constructed nor integrated; an impossible investment of the internal body; or a counter-investment of an impossible maternity. In this context, the etiopathogeny of weight gain subsequent to the announcement of the diagnosis is unique for each young woman, but always in connection with an affected or wounded feminine and/or maternal. In conclusion, if the weight gain following the diagnosis reflects a hindrance or even an impasse (possibly punctual) of the psychic treatment of its effects, this medical announcement in adolescence can constitute, afterwards, a new chance for these girls, with a potentially mutative value. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article approaches, based on Jacques Lacan's theory, the female devastation as a consequence of the woman's location as not-all in phallic logic. The point in this work is to find out how an act can be a possibility of treatment of the devastation. For this purpose, two resources were used to understand this proposal: the work Medea, dated 413 b.C., and the story of Holk, published in a book called Patu. The Lacanian proposal about the feminine used here is the one formulated in 1971, in which the sexual division occurs in two modes of jouissance: phallic enjoyment, located on the male side, and feminine enjoyment, located on the female side. The proposal of feminine enjoyment indicates that the woman is not all referred to the phallus, which can have as one of its consequences the devastation of love, that affects the feminine parlêtre. About the act, Lacan's theory is also used, especially the 1969 proposals, in which the act acquires the dimension of a significant mark, that delimits a new beginning for the subject, in which if it is erased at the moment of the act, resurfaces after the action. After presenting the two main theorizations, the article aims to demonstrate how Medea can emerge from the devastation that she was in, after being left by Jason, through the act of killing her children. And also, how Holk makes his way, moving the unconscious, forging a new signifier in the analysis: patu (a signifier that ciphered female enjoyment) the dimension of the analytic act is present here.

The aim of this article is to present the results of a sociological study on everyday life within a female cloistered monastery. This is a radical form of religious life, highly routinised, distanced from the outside world and conducted in community yet in almost total silence. By elaborating upon the concepts of everyday and lived religion, the scope of our examination complements dominant sociological approaches to the study of this religious phenomenon. By addressing the following research question: 'Do cloistered monasteries de-individualise and totally regulate the life of nuns?', we discuss selected aspects of everyday life in the institution and its contemporary transformations related to, among other things, new communication technologies and new generations of nuns. We show that in this highly institutionalised place nuns remain reflexive individuals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

RÉSUMÉ: Le mot «migrants» n'existait pas dans la langue des Hellènes; ils étaient plus familiers avec le vocable de l'exil et de l'asile. D'ailleurs, l'exil ne saurait se penser sans son corollaire, l'asile, comme le citoyen antique sans le barbare et la démocratie sans la tyrannie. À travers une métaphore située au carrefour de la fiction historique, de la philosophie politique et de la psychanalyse, cet article propose une réflexion sur l'exil comme condition fondamentale du sujet. L'exil est d'origine, car la langue de l'enfance, la langue dite maternelle est d'abord une langue étrangère. L'exil intime porte la marque d'une universalité qui fonde l'expérience subjective.

Dans Thérèse mon amour, Julia Kristeva nous propose une configuration énonciative et narrative qui interpelle notre réflexe habitué à la distinction nette des strates de l’énonciation. L’on découvre un jeu spéculaire, un jeu de miroirs qui souvent confond les voix, et de cette configuration apparait toute une galerie de portraits : on y aperçoit le portrait du personnage principal, Thérèse d’Avila, la mystique carmélite de l’Espagne du seizième siècle. Il y a également la voix – portrait de la narratrice, Sylvia Leclercq, qui raconte et se raconte. Derrière le portrait de la narratrice nous entrevoyons les traces de l’auteur, de son ethos assez révélateur d’un portrait qui, au fil du récit, se construit à petites touches. Les trois instances ont ceci de commun qu’elles s’expriment au féminin, un féminin que l’on décrit et qui se décrit, pour dire, par-delà les siècles, le même souci, la même quête, celle du sens.

Objectives: To evaluate the awareness of HPV and HPV vaccine, and willingness to be vaccinated against HPV, among women with and without daughter(s) in Shenzhen, China.Methods: Cross-sectional survey in January and June 2015 by means of a self-administered questionnaire to collect information. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the factors associated with awareness of HPV and its vaccine and the willingness to be vaccinated.Results: A total of 9855 women (mean age 37.09 years, SD 7.48) were included in the analysis. Although only 42.3% had heard of HPV and 21.0% of HPV vaccine, 63.3% were willing to be vaccinated. 73.9% of the 5799 women with daughter(s) were willing have their daughter(s) vaccinated. Women with daughter(s) did not have a higher awareness of HPV (43.2% vs. 41.5%, P = 0.109) and HPV vaccine (21.1% vs. 20.9%, P = 0.854) than women without daughter(s), but did tend to be more willing to be vaccinated themselves (66.3% vs. 59.9%, P < 0.001). Women's awareness of HPV and specific knowledge of HPV vaccine were predictors of the willingness to have both themselves and their daughters vaccinated. These associations may be modified by residency status, education and monthly income.Conclusions: Although awareness of HPV and HPV vaccine among women in Shenzhen was low, willingness to have themselves and their daughter(s) vaccinated was relatively high, especially among mothers. High awareness of HPV and its vaccine will help improve the acceptability of HPV vaccination according to residency status, education and monthly income. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A film about three women, from three generations, in different places. They are all connected by the Virginia Woolf‟s novel. This one is being written by her. Laura Brown reads it and lives it. So does Clarissa. There‟s a fourth character. It‟s a poet, sick of AIDS, homosexual, making part of that group of characters who look like themselves, one like each other, looking like the same, identical, in almost identical situations, in times which we shall understand as different, but on realise them as being simultaneous. I propose thinking the movement of this film under the perspective of the other, by a dialogue with Zizek and Levinas, passing through Tassin, the novel which inspired the film, by Michael Cunningham, as through Mrs. Dalloway. The questions which guide this reflection are: who is the other in this film? And what‟s proposed to this person? What does the other says about myself? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present work brings to the forefront the typology and manner of character construction in the spectrum of the 80's epic. In the context of a monographic study, we rely on mapping the character's hypostases - female in most cases - that populate and outline the prosaic universe proposed by the writer Adriana Bittel by directly referring the short prose volumes and the novel signed by the same writer. A major point of interest consist especially in highlighting the modes and the procedures by which the character participates in the construction of the fictional world: metaleptic incursions, discursive marks and language games, meta and intertextual accents. We also insist on highlighting the relationships of Adrian Bittel's prose character with the narrative instances, with the other characters, with the thematic field all in a more or less obvious interdependence with the textuallist context of the 80`s literature.

Les années 1930 ont constitué un terreau fertile pour l’éclosion d’œuvres qui sont devenues des classiques de la bande dessinée et ce, tant américaine que franco-belge. Au Québec, le marché est surtout occupé par des traductions de bandes américaines. De 1935 à 1938, L’Action catholique publiera 11 récits, totalisant plus de 700 bandes. Il s’agit, pour la majorité, d’adaptations de romans québécois du terroir faisant l’apologie des racines canadiennes-françaises et de la religion catholique, tels L’appel de la race de Lionel Groulx. Ces adaptations sont livrées sous la forme d’image d’Épinal. Nous étudions ici ces bandes dessinées et, plus précisément le rôle du personnage féminin dans ces histoires, notamment dans Son chemin de Damas qui est aussi le seul récit à utiliser le phylactère. Abstract: The 1930s were a bountiful backdrop for the proliferation of publications that became seminal American and Franco-Belgian comic strip classics. In Quebec, translations of American comic strips took up the lion’s share of the market. Between 1935 to 1938, L’Action catholique published eleven stories, comprising in excess of 700 comic strips. These were, by and large, adaptations of native Quebec novels that glorified Franco-Canadian roots and Catholicism, including Lionel Groulx’s L’appel de la race. These adaptations were sewn into popular imagery. This is an examination of these comic strips, with specific focus on the role of the female characters, particularly in Son Chemin de Damas, the one and only story to include the phylactery.
