Abstract:
Je verrai, dans cet article, de quelle manière l’actualisation du trauma passé, par le biais d’écritures au féminin, transgresse aussi bien l’interdit de raconter des agresseurs que le principe répétitif de la violence des hommes contre les femmes. À partir de la notion d’actualité, je réfléchirai aux enjeux d’une telle transgression, qui s’avère être à la fois risquée et jubilatoire. À cet effet, je convoquerai les œuvres de Christine Angot, Annie Ernaux, Dorothy Allison et Chloé Delaume.

Abstract:
Originaire du milieu white trash, victime d'inceste, lesbienne et queer, Dorothy Allison appartient à une nouvelle génération d'auteurs qui, depuis les années 1980, perturbent le paysage littéraire et politique américain. Peuplée de personnages grotesques, dont les difformités physiques reflètent les normes sociales, sexuelles et de genre qui sous-tendent les discours dominants réduisant l'individu déviant au silence, l'oeuvre de l'auteure est pourtant un espace de prise de parole pour les sujets subalternes (les pauvres, les femmes, l'enfant abusée, et les homosexuels) que la société définit comme étant abjects. Ces recherches se concentrent sur les liens entre littérature et théorie, et sur la portée politique du témoignage minoritaire de Dorothy Allison, envisagé comme un espace de théorisation. À partir de l'analyse des théories du sujet, des études sur les classes et les " races ", des critiques de l'autobiographie et de la théorie queer, nous expliciterons la manière dont le texte littéraire transmet le discours de revendication de l'individu subalterne, permet l'affirmation du sujet, et véhicule les " savoirs abjects " qui perturbent les normes. Ce travail s'attache à relire et repenser les théories à travers le prisme d'une oeuvre littéraire qui s'approprie le mode de représentation grotesque et accorde une place centrale au corps et aux sens. Faisant la part belle au langage du corps, le témoignage minoritaire romancé met à mal les hiérarchies et célèbre la profonde humanité des individus dévalorisés.

Born in a white trash milieu, a victim of incest, lesbian and queer, Dorothy Allison belongs to the new generation of writers who, since the 1980s, have troubled the American literary and political landscape. Overflowing with grotesque characters, whose physical deformity mirrors the social, sexual and gender norms underlying the dominant discourses that silence the deviant individual, the author’s work is nevertheless a space where inferior subjects (the poor, women, the abused child, homosexuals), defined by society as being abject, can speak. This research focuses on the connections between literature and theory, and on the political significance of Dorothy Allison’s testimony, here considered as a theorizing narrative. Using subject theory, class and race studies, autobiography criticism and queer theory, we shall explain how the literary text passes on the inferior individual’s claims, enacts the subject’s self-assertion, and transmits the “abject knowledge” which disrupts the norms. This research aims at re-reading and rethink various theories through the literary work which appropriates the grotesque mode of representation and grants the material body and the senses a central place. The fictionalized testimony makes bodily language paramount, interrogates established hierarchies and glorifies the intense humanity of discredited individuals

Abstract:
This study seeks to question old and common misconceptions concerning the american literary genre Southern Gothic. By using the carnival theory, the theory about the "grotesque" by Mikhail Bakhtin, this study seeks to explain and reach a better understanding of some works defined as Southern Gothic - so called because of the significance that is attributed in the genre to the geographical location in the southern United states. This study analyzes carnivalesque transgression in short story collections by Flannery O´Connor, Eudora Welty and Dorothy Allison, and the main purpose is to investigate if the genre really is as dark as it is often described by critics; pessimistic, absurdly shocking and without any affirmation regarding the beauty and strength of life.  Transgression is here defined as the transgression made by fictional characters when their bodies and their actions refuses to conform to the norms established by "the official world". By using Bachtins terminology my main thesis is to investigate positive and life-affirming transgression in A Good Man is Hard to Find, A Curtain of Green and Trash. The study further investigates the ways in which the bodies of the fictional characters become grotesque and in what way the characters through their behaviour become carnivalesque. The short stories are also compared with eachother from both a tematic and historic perspective: can changes through time be observed? Does the grotesque form or expression change in any way from Welty to Allison? The conclusion of the study is that both grotesque and carnivalesque forms can be found in the short stories, and it can be considered carnivalesue in a true Bakhtinian way, as both positive and affirming. The study also finds that the grotesque tends to become more positive and life-affirming through time.

Russell, Kara. "Bertha Harris' Confessions of Cherubino: From L'Ecriture Feminine to the Gothic South." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2018. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/3401.

Full text
Abstract:
Inspired by her obsession with the South and informed by the liberating socio-political changes born from the 1970s lesbian feminist movement, North Carolinian author Bertha Harris (1937-2005) provides a poetic exploration of Southern Gothic Sapphism in her complex and tormented novel Confessions of Cherubino (1972). Despite fleeting second-wave era recognition as “one of the most stylistically innovative American fiction writers to emerge since Stonewall,” Harris’s innovation remains largely neglected by readers and cultural theorists alike. Nearly all academic engagements with her work, of which there are few, address her 1976 novel Lover. Instead, this thesis focuses on Confessions of Cherubino and examines the novel’s relationship to poststructural feminist thought that led to a critical but undervalued position within contemporary literature of the queer South, particularly through the work of Dorothy Allison, who has noted Harris’s influence on her writing.

Abstract:
The following collection represents the critical and creative work produced during my doctoral program in English. The dissertation consists of Part I, a critical preface, and Part II, a collection of seven short stories and two nonfiction essays. Part I, which contains the critical preface entitled "What to Say and How to Say It," examines the role of voice in discussions of contemporary literature. The critical preface presents a definition of voice and identifies examples of voice-driven writing in contemporary literature, particularly from the work of Mary Robison, Dorothy Allison, and Kathy Acker. In addition, the critical preface also discusses how the use of flavor, tone, and content contribute to voice, both in work of famous authors and in my own writing. In Part II of my dissertation, I present the creative portion of my work. Part II contains seven works of short fiction, titled "Among Waitresses," "The Lion Tamer," "Restoration Services," "Hospitality," "Blood Relation," "Managerial Timber," and "Velma A Cappella." Each work develops a voice-driven narrative through the use of flavor, tone, and content. Also, two nonfiction essays, titled "Fentanyl and Happy Meals" and "Tracks," close out the collection. "Fentanyl and Happy Meals" describes the impact of methamphetamine addiction on family relationships, while "Tracks" focuses on the degradation of the natural world by human waste and other forms of pollution. In total, this collection demonstrates my approach to both scholarly and creative writing, and I am grateful for the University of North Texas for the opportunity to develop academically and achieve my goals.

Abstract:
Dorothy Allison was born in Greenville, South Carolina, grew up in a working-class family, and was the first in her family to graduate from high school. At Florida Presbyterian College, she became involved in the women’s movement and credits this political activism with her urge to become a writer. During the 1970s and early 1980s in New York City, where she had moved for graduate study in anthropology, Allison wrote for and edited feminist and gay and lesbian publications....

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the life and work of Dorothy Allison, who knows about growing up “white trash.” Born on April 11, 1949, in Greenville, South Carolina, Allison was “the bastard daughter of a white woman from a desperately poor family.” Poverty forced Allison's family to leave South Carolina for central Florida in search of a better life. In 1983, Allison published a collection of poetry, The Women Who Hate Me, followed by a short story collection, Trash, in 1988. In 1992, Allison published Bastard out of Carolina, a largely autobiographical novel about growing up in the Rough South. Allison's other works include chapters and a memoir, Two or Three Things I Know for Sure (1995). The term “white trash” and its prevalence demonstrate society's tolerance of stereotyping poor whites. Such stereotypes not only portray to outsiders a false image of the working class, but are reinforced within the working class itself. Allison writes to combat this myth and these prejudices.

This chapter examines poetry and fiction of Southern lesbian writers using the lens of food. Drawing on the works of Dorothy Allison, Minnie Bruce Pratt and Doris Davenport, the author explores how Southern lesbian writers transform the obvious, making lesbian eroticism and desire manifest through the vehicle of Southern food. These and other Southern writers have not only been at the center of important debates about feminism and identity, but also have created a sense of unity and sociality through a love of food and region.

Abstract:
This chapters examines the work of several poor white life-writers, including Jeanette Walls, Dorothy Allison, Rick Bragg and Barbara Robinette Moss. It raises questions about nostalgia, romanticization, and neo-agrarianism as it critically interrogates ideas of the southern community and regional foodways. Through new historicist and postcolonial lenses, it argues that these works often share a counter-historical approach as they seek to talk back against dominant misperceptions about lives shaped by poverty. As it considers representations of welfare and war, it turns to J.D. Vance’s bestselling Hillbilly Elegy to critically interrogate its neoliberal agenda and its place within the poor white sub-genre of life-writing.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the varying strains of environmentalism and/or activism that run throughout the work of southern writers including Janisse Ray, Larry Brown, Dorothy Allison, Mary Hood, Ann Pancake, Silas House, and Denise Giardina. It explores the relationship between environmentalism and poverty as it discusses waste, throw-away culture, recycling and sustainability. It argues for a move from regionalism/nationalism to localism/globalism and questions the false dichotomy between the Global North and Global South. The chapter turns to Appalachia to consider the impact of Mountaintop removal mining (MTR), and it interrogates both the economics that often drive the poor to undertake environmentally destructive jobs and the activism that exists within poor communities.
