Abstract
Abstract: This article reads depictions of the fille-mère as a vehicle for the expression of anxieties surrounding representation of marginal female figures and freedom of the press in the Belle Époque. It looks to two texts, exploring how these fictional unmarried mothers differ from Hugo's Fantine, the archetype of the fille-mère , earlier in the nineteenth century. After an overview of welfare support for unmarried mothers in the long nineteenth century, the author provides close and intermedial readings of a 1902 issue of L'Assiette au Beurre and Marcelle Tinayre's La Rebelle (1905), focusing on the limits of representation of these non-conforming women.
摘要:本文解读了《美女》Époque中对女性边缘形象和新闻自由的焦虑的表达。它着眼于两个文本,探索这些虚构的未婚母亲与雨果笔下的芳汀有何不同,芳汀是十九世纪早期少女的原型。在概述了漫长的19世纪对未婚母亲的福利支持之后,作者提供了1902年出版的L'Assiette au Beurre和Marcelle Tinayre的La Rebelle(1905)的仔细和中间阅读,重点关注这些不遵循规则的女性的代表性限制。
