Theme : "Arachnée"
La femme-araignée dans la culture textuelle et iconographique françaises
Elle est universelle. Omniprésente dans notre environnement, elle hante nos consciences depuis la nuit des temps. Porteuse d’espoir ou de chagrin, selon les proverbes français – “araignée du matin, chagrin”, “araignée du soir, espoir” –, elle ne laisse jamais indifférent.
Si de nos jours on la connaît surtout comme un avatar masculin dans la série Spiderman, l’araignée est partout ailleurs une incarnation de la féminité. Une féminité tantôt fragile et douce, tantôt menaçante et mal-aimée, prédatrice ou victime, artiste aussi.
À travers un florilège de textes et de documents iconographiques, ce sont ses multiples figures que Sophie Schaller Wright vous propose
de découvrir dans ce mini-cours.

Theme: “Arachne”
The spider-woman in French textual and iconographic culture
She is universal. Omnipresent in our environment, she has haunted our consciousness since the dawn of time. A bearer of hope or sorrow, according to French proverbs—“spider in the morning, sorrow,” “spider in the evening, hope”—she never leaves anyone indifferent.
Although she is now best known in a male incarnation in the Spider-Man series, elsewhere the spider is an embodiment of femininity. A femininity that is at times fragile and gentle, at others threatening and unloved—predator or victim, and also an artist.
Through a selection of texts and iconographic documents, Sophie Schaller Wright invites you to explore her many forms in this
mini-course.
