Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The female subjects described in Les ImpatientesetCœur du Sahel, struggle daily through their bodies, in order to reconstruct their identity. In their social, traditional and religious world, these women question the practice of polygamy considered to be a major handicap to their development. This articlethus aims to question the uses of the female body in a phallocratic society. This allows us to examine the practices of the body, the excesses as well as the affects of the female beings who evolve in this space. Very often, when faced with difficulties, these characters use strategies that are sometimes subversive with regard to the practices linked to their world. The author therefore depicts and satirizes a phallocratic society, faced with a profound value change. KEYWORDS:corps, féminin, épanouissement, transgressif, polygamie.
