L’objectif homonormatif de Virginie Despentes. "Bye Bye Blondie", du texte à l’écran
Virginie Despentes’ Homonormative Lens. "Bye Bye Blondie", from Text to Screen

Summary/Abstract: When she adapted her novel "Bye Bye Blondie" for the cinema, Virginie Despentes decided to switch the central heterosexual love story between Gloria and Eric to a homosexual love story between Gloria and Frances. However, she refused to offer another heteronormative lesbian scene. Instead, she tends to bring a homonormative representation of female love to the French mainstream cinema, and develops the systems of a new esthetic. No erotic scene, no representation of the couple according to a feminine/masculine logic, Despentes puts on screen a love story into which no spectator is allowed a voyeuristic glance.
