FEMMES ET LIBERTINAGE 18 SIECLE
FEMMES ET LIBERTINAGE 18 SIECLE by PUR, published by PU RENNES on January 8, 2004, is a scholarly exploration of the often-overlooked feminine perspective within the context of 18th-century libertinism. This edition, written in French and spanning 150 pages, delves into the complex interplay between women and libertinage, challenging the traditional narratives that predominantly feature male figures. The book examines how women were integrated into the landscape of gallantry, often reduced to indistinct silhouettes overshadowed by their male counterparts.
Readers will find a thorough analysis of the practices and representations of women in literature during this period, aiming to reclaim their identities from caricatured portrayals. The work investigates the nuanced relationship between women and libertinism, highlighting the need to address both virtuous obscurations and fantastical constructions. By drawing on literary texts, archives, and engravings, this collective reflection seeks to illuminate the stakes and seductions of this new eroticism, offering insights into the historical and critical dimensions of women’s roles in 18th-century French literature.
Official synopsis Publisher
Le libertinage du XVIIIe sicle, prsent bien connu et objet d’une fascination partage , possde une face moins visible : son versant fminin, bord d’ombre. Sans doute les femmes ont-elles t invitablement intgres ce paysage de la galanterie mais c’est plutt comme silhouette interchangeables aux traits confus qu’elles s’y installent. Le libertin occupe toute la place, bouchant la vue : prdateur la Valmont ou la Lovelace, insatiable sducteur la Casanova, homme ” bonnes fortunes ” ou habitu des lieux de plaisir les plus crapuleux, il se dcline sous des figures que la littrature a rendues familires. Entre les femmes et le libertinage, l’articulation est plus hsitante et “capricieuse” : il faut tudier les pratiques et les reprsentations pour faire la part des occultations vertueuses et des fabrications fantasmatiques, afin de restituer ces femmes des Lumires, qu’elles soient de chair ou de papier, une identit la lois plus affirme et moins caricaturale. C’est l’objet de cette rflexion collective qui se penche sur un XVIIIe sicle largi – de saint Simon au premier romantisme – et tente d’explorer le libertinage ” du ct des femmes “, partir de la littrature comme des archives ou de la gravure, pour mieux souligner les enjeux et les prils, mais aussi les sductions de cette rotique nouvelle
