Keywords:
identità, donna, migrazione, cibo, creazione artisticaAbstract
La ricerca d’identità e di autenticità femminile, presente in una miriade di testi contemporanei scritti dalle donne, mira a riappropriarsi del valore figurativo del nutrimento al fine di sovvertire i convenzionali legami tra cibo, sessualità e creazione artistica. Il risultato è di riassegnare legittimità alla donna, sia come essere desiderante, sia come creatrice.
Food and Sex in Canadian Women’s Writing
The quest for female identity and authenticity present in a number of contemporary women’s works aims at reappropriating the figurative value of nourishment so as to subvert the conventional link between food, sexuality and creative mastery. The result is to restore women’s legitimacy as both desiring beings and creatrixes.
