We are Irina, Emma and Léa. We are women, feminists and passionate about the narratives, representations and uses of the past. Because of this, we truly question ourselves on the gender question, prostitution and the links we can draw between feminism and history. Between present and past, between fantasies and realities, between a male, a prostitute gaze and something in the middle, maybe? This podcast mini series is one of our answers.
This podcast ins an undergraduate academic work that should be listened with your critical mind as this subject could take several years of research !
Thank you for understanding ;)

In this first episode, we are going to navigate from the present to the past and see how past representations and narratives are used to tell something new about the present. As a consequence, if the meanings and implications of the narratives on the figures of feminine prostitution were built in the 19th and 20th centuries, yet they are very often modified and adapted to present times to fit a new discourse.
What are the present uses of such past narratives? What are the several contemporary discourses behind these uses and what purpose do they serve in regards to current feminist debates in France?
This first episode will be divided into 2 main parts. First of all, we are going to study the current mobilization of the 19th century through the specific feature of the brothel (I). Then, in a second part, we will make the link between past literary references and contemporary French cinema. This second focus will allow us to study the main current representations of prostitution, which are mostly in continuity with traditional narratives, but also sometimes in rupture with them (II).
