Philosophy in the Weight Room: Nathalie Gassel and the Crisis of Self-Representation
This article traces the evolution of Belgian writer Nathalie Gassel's writing practices and contends that the space of the text is akin to the artist's own self-construction as an androgynous female bodybuilder. Yet this quest for self-representation also connotes a particular subjective crisis that the writer has lived. Although Gassel represents and embodies a singular example of a woman who has consciously transformed her body into a non-normative representation of Western female physicality, her writings on themes of otherness, marginality and exile allow us to situate her work within the scope of Belgian francophone literature. These writers have turned to literature as a space through which to examine notions of selfhood and subjective identity. Through her writings - both erotic and philosophical - Gassel negotiates the space of the individual in contemporary society and attempts to reconcile a particular type of mind-body dualism that finds its articulation in her own assertion and construction of autonomy.

Protean Selves
What does it mean to write \"I\" in postmodern society, in a world in which technological advances and increased globalization have complicated notions of authenticity, origins, and selfhood? Under what circumstances and to what extent do authors lend their scriptural authority to fictional counterparts? What role does naming, or, conversely, anonymity play vis-à-vis the writing and written \"I\"? What aspects of identity are subject to (auto)fictional manipulations? And how do these complicated.

DU FAIT DIVERS AU RÉCIT DE SOI : Écrire et filmer Abus de faiblesse de Catherine Breillat
This article explores continuities and divergences in Catherine Breillat’s 2009 autobiographical text and 2013 autofictional film, Abuse of Weakness. The fait divers at the center of both projects—the “Rocancourt Affair”—is complicated by and rendered more egregious due to Breillat’s compromised physical status following a cerebral hemorrhage. This article considers the ways in which Breillat reclaims her artistic autonomy and ontological agency by adapting the fait divers in the medium of text and image.
