Engagement féminin en Kabylie et intersection des revendications (1980-2001). Dominations, expériences et négociations identitaires by Margherita Rasulo

In this context, the exclusion of women from decision-making spaces, of which the tajmaεt (village assembly) is the main social institution, as well as the existence of female activism in the region, reflect the tension between the perpetuation and the modernisation of the symbolic apparatus, of social structures and, consequently, of gender relations. …”

Proust’s Ruskin: From Illustration to Illumination by Emily Eells

“…These two figures are likened to ‘noble grotesques’ here, as they correspond to Ruskin’s definition of an allegorical figure conveying an inexpressible truth through symbolism. My argument here is that Proust appropriated those two illustrations and transformed them into illuminations, in the sense that Ruskin gave to that term in Modern Painters.…”

“…If queer feminist activists have undoubtedly been able to take up in their own name the slogan “my body is a battleground”, they have also taken decisive steps to invest language itself as a symbolic battleground. Direct action on language and reclamation of hate speeches through distortion are as many counter-discursive strategies that actively contribute to the process of subjectivisation. …”

A diferença como política de resistência e de ressignificação da subjetividade feminina em campos de saberes masculinos by Neiva Furlin, Marlene Tamanini

“…This situation indicates that the redefinition of sexual difference and gender subjectivity, in this context, functions positively, even if it remains marked by a symbolic, hierarchical, celibate and masculine structure in which difference frequently continues being driven, in a negatively meaningful way by the aforementioned essentializations, to lower levels of competence regarding women.…”

Les insectes vivants dans l’espace anthropisé. Incarnations de la dichotomie nature/culture en architecture by Delphine Lewandowski

La représentation des paysages d’exil dans les arts visuels contemporains : l’exemple du film Parmi nous de Clément Cogitore by Ann Epoudry

“…Supporting this analysis with Clément Cogitore’s short fiction film Parmi nous (2011), which narrates the attempts of illegal migrants in exile to cross a border zone, we seek to understand how the constructed landscapes of the sets in the film reveal a symbolic and stereotyped landscape and how the relationship between the characters and the landscape, which the artist shows in this work, seems to reinvent the places travelled through and offer a new form of participation within the landscape.…”
