DE PSYCHÉ À EURYDICE : DIRE SON CORPS ET CONQUÉRIR SA VOIX, OU LA RÉAPPROPRIATION DES FIGURES MYTHIQUES FÉMININES DANS LE RECUEIL CE CHANT MON AMOUR (2001) DE MONIQUE LAEDERACH
FROM PSYCHE TO EURYDICE: SPEAKING YOUR BODY AND CONQUERING YOUR VOICE, OR, THE REAPPROPRIATION OF MYTHICAL FEMALE CHARACTERS IN THE COLLECTION CE CHANT MON AMOUR (2001) BY MONIQUE LAEDERACH

Summary/Abstract: By assigning a key role to the images of Psyche and Eurydice in her collection of poems Ce chant mon amour (This Song my Love), French-speaking Swiss poet Monique Laederach undoubtedly paves the way for a wide intertextual dialogue with the mythological canon. This text aims to trace and analyse the process of breaking and recreating the myth in genre and thematic terms through the prism of the female lyrical image. The main ideological motifs, such as the focus on the corporeality and the affirmation of the female poetic voice, are presented and a study of the discursive characteristics allows to distinguish a collective female ethos.
