By analyzing femininity and masculinity as fluid processes rather than social or biological givens, the authors provide new ways of understanding how gender intersects with local, national, and transnational forms of knowledge and power. Contributors cut across disciplinary boundaries and draw on fresh fieldwork and textual analysis, including newspaper accounts, radio reports, and feminist writing.

On ne s'habille pas pour éblouir les autres femmes ou pour les embêter. Une robe n’a de sens que si un homme a envie de vous l’enlever, je dis bien l’enlever, pas l’arracher en hurlant d’horreur. Un homme ne vous aime pas pour une robe. Seulement, un jour, il vous réclamera aigrement « cette robe bleue, tu sais » (aux orties depuis deux ans), qu’il n’avait pas semblé voir.

Tout quitter pour revenir à la nature et jouir d'une vie frugale et tranquille, qui n'en a pas déjà rêvé ? Au tournant de la trentaine, après avoir couru après la réussite et le temps, connu la vie de bureau, participé au mouvement Nuit Debout et vécu une brève carrière politique, Joseph Boussion a tout plaqué pour devenir berger. Il a lu Thoreau et Giono, croit au mythe du bon sauvage et fantasme un idyllique retour aux sources fait de méditation et de calme. C'est la violence et la brutalité qui l'attendent.

Être une femme, c'est tenter de répondre à des attentes irréalistes et se blâmer lorsqu'on n'y parvient pas.
