L'institutionnalisation des Gender Studies en France: un processus à plusieurs niveaux

Abstract : Processes of institutionalization and crossings are inseperable from ideological, political and societal issues : models and methods circulate, as texts travel without their contexts. Can this account for the differentiated reception of Gender and Queer Studies in France, particularly in comparison with other European countries ? What specific impulses are thus realised in scientific areas and fields of research (literature, cultural history, arts…) ? To what extent do the political and the institutional intertwine, in an academic as well as an educational context ?
