Séminaire contrepoints autour de Les Forces vives

As a counterpoint to Camille Dagen's production of Les Forces vives, based on Simone de Beauvoir's memoirs, a round-table discussion will bring together 4 speakers from a variety of disciplines, who will compare their views on “becoming a woman”, from Beauvoir's time - “one is not born a woman, one becomes one”, as she wrote - to the present day, and on the status of Beauvoir's feminism in contemporary society. The debate will be moderated by Frédéric Regard and Anne Tomiche. 

With the participation of Camille Dagen.
And with : 

·         Anne-Emmanuelle Berger, Professor Emeritus of French Literature and Gender Studies, Université Paris 8 - Vincennes - Saint-Denis

·         Raphaël Ehrsam, lecturer in philosophy, specialist in feminist philosophies, Sorbonne University

·         Florence Rochefort, CNRS research fellow, historian specializing in the history of French feminisms and the history of gender in relation to religions, secularism and secularization.
