Joyce Mansour, la voix féminine dans le surréalisme

Summary/Abstract: Joyce Mansour, Anglo-egyptian poet writing in French, embodied a new image of surrealist woman. Considered by Breton as «our woman poet », her work follows the quest of an identity shared between different languages and cultures. Recognition of members of the Surrealist group will double in her sensuous consciousness of wanting to express a feminine otherness that she claims, against an assimilation to clichés. With pre-feminist tones she sings, or shouts, the frenzy of desire, the female body, free but inhabited by anxiety. I will show how a certain view of the critical false the interpretation of her work precisely because she is the result of a feminine sensibility.
