CURA Colloquium: Rewriting Religion, Reinventing Gender in Monique Wittig's Les Guérillères

with Kelly Keenan, PhD student in French Literature, Boston University This paper analyses the appropriated and reinvented mythology that Wittig weaves throughout her 1969 novel/manifesto, Les Guérillères. Through her rewriting of both sacred and societal myths, Wittig offers a larger critique of the societal institutions that instill and enforce women's oppression. *Reading the working paper in advance is required for attendance.* Email cura@bu.edu for your copy.
