Genre and sources - Reading, rereading, misreading since Antiquity

Digital book | Paper book (€31)

by Adrien Bresson, Alice Baudequin and Jonathan Raffin

The challenge of this work is to question the link between gender, which can be defined as the non-physiological components of sex perceived as appropriate to male and female individuals, a field of research highlighted by gender studies , and sources. It is therefore a question of reading the latter from the perspective of gender, of proposing a rereading of them, or even of considering a misreading whose aim then becomes to propose a new reading of the sources. The confrontation of disciplines (classical literature, foreign literature, history, sociology, anthropology) and eras, since Antiquity, has made it possible to uncover approaches to sources specific to each discipline, which can nevertheless prove complementary, encouraging a plural examination of the sources, in the light of a prism that has not yet been explored.
