Zizanies tells the story of how research, initially academic and carried out in the rules of art, deviates from its path. Young researcher and art critic, Clara Schulmann began work on women's voices, initially dedicated to voice-overs. cinematographic. Gradually, his readings broaden, gain field, leave the so-called reserved domain of university research. Her own life intrudes into what she writes, the podcasts she listens to resonate differently, the stories of her friends remain in her head. These voices of women who invade it, make the partitions that still separate the different areas of contemporary thought. Helped on her way by authors who are today reflecting on the effects of transversality (Donna Haraway, Vinciane Despret), by those who re-energize the specific issues of literature (Nathalie Quintane, Valeria Luiselli, Chris Kraus), looking back at a little-known feminist legacy in France and who already knew how to create a dialogue between theory and cinema or poetry and writing critic (Denise Riley, Mary Ann Doane, Susan Howe), Clara Schulmann is interested to the powers of orality when it allows us to rethink writing broad sense. The women's voices gathered here thus form a family with contours and unexpected attachments but whose commitments are tied to concerns most contemporary policies: how to make a group? how to make oneself hear? how to find the right words?
