An Onomastic Double Bind: Colette's Gigi and the Politics of Naming
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 October 2020
Abstract
Although Colette did not consider herself a feminist in the activist sense of the term and even mocked feminism as a political movement, her fiction presents the situation of women in ways that stress their specificity and their imposed social inferiority. Gigi addresses the problem of naming as a crucial factor in male-female relations and implicitly identifies it as the nodal point of a struggle for discursive, as well as socioeconomic, identity.
