Dernière Vague et Hard Transmedia : une lecture des enjeux scénaristiques dans Pauvre Folle (2023) et Phallers (2024) de Chloé Delaume

This article examines the significance of transmedia choices in two of Chloé Delaume’s most recent works, Pauvre folle Delaume (Citation2023) and Phallers (Citation2024c), within the context of feminist discourse and the evolving cultural landscape of the post-#MeToo era. Engaging with themes of gender-based violence, Delaume challenges the dominant narratives shaping mainstream imagination, instead advocating for a radical subversion of conventional gendered representation. This shift also necessitates a reconsideration of media strategies for conveying a message that overturns the perception of women as victims. Employing humor and gore as subversive narrative tools, Delaume seeks to extend her storytelling beyond the literary sphere (“hard transmedia”) to navigate the strenuous constraints imposed by patriarchal barriers in the show business, which continue to hinder the dissemination of counter-discourses within popular visual culture. By examining the narrative and esthetic transitions between Pauvre Folle and Phallers, this study elucidates how Delaume’s work actively engages with civil society, fostering a reconfiguration of collective consciousness to reshape socio-cultural scenarios.
