- Description
- Special around feminsm and intersexes. In the form of a letter addressed directly to Herculine Barbin, Arthur Cocteau has chosen to make a tribute to the first hermaphrodite, as a testimony to her short life. 'Camille' Lamarre was born intersexed in the early sixties, at a time when genital ambiguity was a medical, social and family taboo. She was given a female name at her mother's insistence and was subjected to female surgical assignment for the first time at age three and a half without a psychological assessment or evaluation. In 'Child of the Moon' Olli tells the story of an intersexed individual who, unlike many people in his situation, did not undergo any surgical modification at birth. According to Vincent Guillot in Europe, the intersex movement is extremely new and marked by the intersex paradigm: not to tell who we are even before having been told who we are. Loïc Jacquet writes about the reinvention of sexuality among intersex people. Antoine Bal shows an anthropological approach to intersexed persons' narratives. Isabelle Boisclair examines intersexual characters in three contemporary literary works (La tête en bas, de Noëlle Châtelet [Paris : Seuil, 2002]: Middlesex, de Jeffrey Eugenides [Paris : L'Olivier, 2003]: et Le saut de l'ange, de Maud Marin [Paris : Fixot, 1987]). With an interview, reviews, the spotlight on the founding and activities of the Organization Intersex International and the Trans Manifesto: Our Bodies Belong to Us. In Zoom Out: 'Sports and Bicategorization by Sex : Femininity Tests and Ambiguities in Medical Discourse' by Anaïs Bohuon: and 'Race- and Sex-based Inequalities in Access to Employment in France' by Ariane Pailhé.
