CONDITION FÉMININE ET SEXUALITÉ CHEZ JACQUELINE HARPMAN
WOMEN’S CONDITION AND SEXUALITY IN JACQUELINE HARPMAN’S WORK

Summary/Abstract: Women’s Condition and Sexuality in Jacqueline Harpman’s Work. The objective of the present article is to point out the tight relationship between the way in which Jacqueline Harpman’s female characters experience their sexuality and their perception of women’s condition. First, we discuss certain theoretical aspects in order to show that sexuality is a sociocultural construction to a large extent and that it is an important aspect of women’s condition. Then, we prove that sexuality is one of the domains in which the female characters of this writer manifest their revolt against the cultural constraints imposed on women by traditional femininity.
