Modernité et tradition dans l’univers science-fictionnel d’Élisabeth Vonarburg

Abstract

This article aims to highlight the transformations that appear in science-fiction narratives from a feminist point of view. Taking as reference the work of Élisabeth Vonarburg, Chroniques du Pays des Mères, one can observe significant variations in the organisation of the feminist science-fiction narrative. These variations constitute a shift from those elements which are traditionally associated with the science-fiction story. They transform it into a meta-fictional proposal in which the perspective of gender in science-fiction literature and it status in the general space of literature are questioned exhaustively.
