Francophone Women: Between Visibility and Invisibility<\/em> underscores the writing of authors who foreground the female body and who write across geographical borders, as part of a global literary movement that has the French language<\/a> as its common denominator. This edited collection exposes how female authors portray the tensions that exist between visibility and invisibility, public and private, presence and absence, and excess and restraint when it is linked to femininity and the female body.<\/p>\n

    DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I AM THE ONE YOU CAN\u2019T LEAVE ALONE.\u00a0 The one who puzzles you, intrigues you.\u00a0 I am the original definition of \u201cexotic.\u201d Acceptable in many ways, the cafe au lait of life, more palatable because I am diluted…\u00a0 They call me white, they call me black… they\u2019ve called me everything in between.<\/em>

    In their novels Gar\u00e7on manqu\u00e9<\/em> (2000) and 53cm<\/em> (1999), Nina Bouraoui<\/a> and Sandrine Bessora<\/a>, respectively, portray characters born of parents belonging to different racialized groups and raise the issues defining m\u00e9tissage<\/em>.\u00a0 As they form corporeal representation of the concept, they describe the m\u00e9tis<\/em> experience in the Francophone context.\u00a0 The complexity of defining the concept of m\u00e9tissage<\/em> involves examining both races, since they shape the perception of the m\u00e9tis <\/em>by the Other and by the subject itself; it also entails discussing the racial tensions that play out in corporeal ways.\u00a0 Using the work of Bouraoui and Bessora, I will analyze how the conception of a world based on dichotomies and binary oppositions, reinforced by racial categorization, affects and disturbs the construction of m\u00e9tis <\/em>identities in the texts…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
