La narratrice est-elle une femme ? Narration et « langage féminin » dans Orlanda de Jacqueline Harpman
Is the Narrator a Woman? Narration and “Women’s Language” in Jacqueline Harpman’s Orlanda

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to analyse Jacqueline Harpman’s Orlanda in the light of feminist linguistics and narratology. The narrator of this novel, although explicitly identified as a woman, uses linguistic and narrative strategies culturally defined as both feminine and masculine. The result is an androgynous narration that matches very well the novel’s subject of a cross-gender spirit migration.
