    Le Tableau tragique ou le funeste amour de Florivale et d’Orcade de Joyel, paru Ă  Douai en 1633, texte dont on ne connaĂźt que quelques exemplaires dans les bibliothĂšques europĂ©ennes, est considĂ©rĂ© par Jean Rousset comme « la moins arcadienne et la plus macabre des pastorales ». Au-delĂ  de l’obsession de la dĂ©composition des corps qui habite tous les personnages – faisant d’eux littĂ©ralement des morts-vivants – le surnaturel se manifeste par l’intervention des dĂ©mons, les cortĂšges d’ombres menaçantes, les animaux malĂ©fiques, mais aussi et surtout par l’action des morts revenus Ă  la vie. Les « fantaisies poetiques » et « autres Ɠuvres » qui accompagnent la piĂšce offrent un aperçu sur la vie thĂ©Ăątrale douaisienne et inscrivent clairement l’Ɠuvre dans un projet esthĂ©tique, qui invite Ă  se questionner sur le caractĂšre outrancier, « fantastique » mais peut-ĂȘtre aussi grotesque, de ce thĂ©Ăątre des spectres.Joyel’s Tableau tragique ou le funeste amour de Florivale et d'Orcade, published in Douai in 1633, a text of which only a few copies are identified in European libraries, is considered by Jean Rousset to be ‘the least Arcadian and the most macabre pastoral’. Beyond the obsession with the decomposition of bodies that inhabits all the characters – literally making them the living dead – the supernatural is revealed by the intervention of demons, processions of threatening shadows, evil animals, but also and above all by the action of the dead who have come back to life. The ‘fantaisies poetiques’ and ‘autres Ɠuvres’ that accompany the play offer an overview of Douai’s theatrical life and clearly place the work within an aesthetic project, which invites us to question the outrageous, ‘fantastic’ but perhaps also grotesque nature of this theatre of spectres

    The Democratic Biopolitics of PrEP

    PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a relatively new drug-based HIV prevention technique and an important means to lower the HIV risk of gay men who are especially vulnerable to HIV. From the perspective of biopolitics, PrEP inscribes itself in a larger trend of medicalization and the rise of pharmapower. This article reconstructs and evaluates contemporary literature on biopolitical theory as it applies to PrEP, by bringing it in a dialogue with a mapping of the political debate on PrEP. As PrEP changes sexual norms and subjectification, for example condom use and its meaning for gay subjectivity, it is highly contested. The article shows that the debate on PrEP can be best described with the concepts ‘sexual-somatic ethics’ and ‘democratic biopolitics’, which I develop based on the biopolitical approach of Nikolas Rose and Paul Rabinow. In contrast, interpretations of PrEP which are following governmentality studies or Italian Theory amount to either farfetched or trivial positions on PrEP, when seen in light of the political debate. Furthermore, the article is a contribution to the scholarship on gay subjectivity, highlighting how homophobia and homonormativity haunts gay sex even in liberal environments, and how PrEP can serve as an entry point for the destigmatization of gay sexuality and transformation of gay subjectivity. ‘Biopolitical democratization’ entails making explicit how medical technology and health care relates to sexual subjectification and ethics, to strengthen the voice of (potential) PrEP users in health politics, and to renegotiate the profit and power of Big Pharma

    « Ce chapitre me fera du cabinet. » L'intime dans « Sur des vers de Virgile », Essais, III, 5

    International audienceIn “Sur des vers de Virgile”, an essay whose obscenity will be scandalous, Montaigne carries out his project of exposing himself, by proposing a confession about “his morals”, in other words about his sexual life. Not content with lifting the ban on openly discussing sexuality, he proposes a “sexual self-portrait” and reveals, in the modern sense of the term, his intimacy; yet this chapter is above all intended for female readers whom he invites to retire into their “cabinet” to read it; far from the masculine stereotype, he acknowledges his failures and his share of feminity, perhaps in an ultimate attempt at seduction.Dans « Sur des vers de Virgile », essai dont l’obscĂ©nitĂ© fera scandale, Montaigne rĂ©alise son projet de mise Ă  nu, en proposant une confession sur ses « mƓurs », autrement dit sur sa vie sexuelle. Non content de lever l’interdit qui empĂȘche de parler ouvertement de la sexualitĂ©, il propose un « autoportrait sexuel » et dĂ©voile, au sens moderne du terme, son intimitĂ© ; or ce chapitre est avant tout destinĂ© aux lectrices qu’il invite Ă  se retirer dans leur « cabinet » pour le lire ; loin du stĂ©rĂ©otype viril, il reconnaĂźt ses dĂ©faillances et sa part de fĂ©minitĂ©, peut-ĂȘtre dans une ultime tentative de sĂ©duction
