CONSTRUCTION SOCIALE EN CREUX DU CORPS FÉMININ DANS ORLANDA ET MOI QUI N’AI PAS CONNU LES HOMMES DE JACQUELINE HARPMAN
NEGATIVE SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF WOMEN’S BODY IN JACQUELINE HARPMAN’S ORLANDA AND MOI QUI N’AI PAS CONNU LES HOMMES

Summary/Abstract: Negative Social Construction of Women’s Body in Jacqueline Harpman’s Orlanda and Moi qui n’ai pas connu les hommes. This article explores the double faceted obliqueness developed by the Belgian writer Jacqueline Harpman in her novels Orlanda and Moi qui n’ai pas connu les hommes. On the one hand, we will analyse the subversive relationship between the textual representations of women’s body and the social somatic code. On the other hand, we will focus on the obliqueness which operates within the writing itself. Thus, we shall show that the oblique approach is a very common method of rendering women’s body in both novels.
