Amour maternel, ou, Sublimation de femmes : des écrivaines interrogent altérité maternité et création / Corinne Cammaréri.

Toulouse : Éditions érès, c2012.

270 p. ; 22 cm.

What happens to women's writing when it collides with the physical demands of motherhood and makes it so necessary for them to come to terms with their maternal passion? Women writers such as Colette, Anais Nin, Marguerite Duras, Nancy Huston, Julia Kristeva, Christine Angot and Marie Darrieussecq, from the beginning of the 20th century to the present, follow as closely as possible the construction of a maternal discourse within their writing. They use their art to go beyond the passion while passing on the language, the ability to think and to create to that other being, their child. They bridge the cleavage of maternal passion to avoid choosing between submission or sublimation. Traversing their inner experience, they experience maternal as well as the sublimation of women.
