Feminine elements have been investigated as narratological concepts, as conceived of by feminist narratology (Prince, [1987] 2003; Page, 2006; Lanser, 2010, among others). As Susan S. Lander states, \u201cthe field of gender and narrative stakes its diverse approaches on the shared belief that sex, gender, and sexuality are significant not only to textual interpretation and reader reception but to textual poetics itself and thus to the shapes, structures, representational practices, and communicative contexts of narrative texts\u201d (2013, \u00a7 3). At the margins of narrative constructions, feminine figures and motives have evoked imaginaries of deviation (eroticization, exoticization, racialization, etc.). When leading, these figures represent one of the arenas\u2014or rather, bodies\u2014through which the arts and artists have negotiated their relationship to the narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This conference is the fourth of a cycle dedicated to \u201cWomen and Clash(es) of Emancipation\u201d organized by Eur\u2019ORBEM (Paris) and CEFRES (Prague). It aims to tackle the narratological consequences induced by feminine figures and motifs in modernisms. The previous works have contributed to the writing of women\u2019s history: questioning canons and their formation, they offer tools to reread the texts and reevaluate their reception. Our goal is to probe the aesthetic specificities of womanhood narratives, thus analyzing the role of the feminine in the creation and development of narratives, insofar as they establish specific relationships with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNarrative womanhood\u201d will be investigated from a transmedial perspective. Following Jean-Marie Schaeffer\u2019s study of narrative processes, our enquiry seeks to encompass literature and images, whether still or in motion. This narrative turn highlights that while the \u201cco-presences\u201d and \u201cspatial contiguities\u201d of still images cannot produce an \u201cevent sequence,\u201d they still \u201cnarrativize\u201d and \u201ctemporalize\u201d (Schaeffer, 2020). Consequently, we include all mediums that develop narrativity through their own temporal and\/or spatial means, or their \u201cdemonstrative\u201d or \u201crepresentational\u201d potentials. We will therefore examine, through this lens, media as diverse as the visual arts, dance, literature, performing arts, theater, erotic novels, and pornographic images (see Preciado, 2011), but this list is by no means exhaustive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
