Queer(y)ing Bodily Norms in Francophone Culture by Polly Galis PDF Summary

Book Description: "Queer(y)ing Bodily Norms in Francophone Culture questions how a wide selection of restrictive norms come to bear on the body, through a close analysis of a range of texts, media and genres originating from across the francophone world and spanning the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Each essay troubles hegemonic, monolithic perceptions and portrayals of racial, class, gender, sexual and/or national identity, rethinking bodily norms as portrayed in literature, film, theatre and digital media specifically from a queer and querying perspective. The volume thus takes 'queer(y)ing' as its guiding methodology, an approach to culture and society which examines, questions and challenges normativity in all of its guises. The term 'queer(y)ing' retains the celebratory tone of the term 'queer' but avoids appropriating the identity of the LGBTQ+ community, a group which remains marginalized to this day. The publication reveals that evaluating the bodily norms depicted in francophone culture through a queer and querying lens allows us to fragment often oppressive and restrictive norms, and ultimately transform them"--
