TY - JOUR TI - The Ruses of “Yes” and “No”, or the Uncertainties of Sexual and Literary Consent AU - Merlin-Kajman, Hélène TI - The Ruses of “Yes” and “No”, or the Uncertainties of Sexual and Literary Consent AB - Taking as its starting point a controversy over the interpretation of a poem by Chénier in which some readers saw the representation of a rape, this article examines the historicity of the signs of female sexual consent and the issues of a literary reading that allows for confusion and vacillation, characteristics that are conducive to education in a sexuality that is itself based on consent.
