      About Youth Love in the Fictional Suburbs. (English)
    • Abstract:
      The youth language located in the suburbs since the ’90s finds its place in the contemporary novel. The authors chosen for analysis focus on sentiment constraints that adolescents confront in the suburbs with its codes and rites. The research in gender studies reveals a tension between the adolescent’s feeling of love that is difficult to confess and the sexual act associated with a taboo transgression for the girls and manifestations of masculinity for the boys. The boys tend to engage in sexually aggressive behavior, and hide or dominate their feelings seen as a weakness. The girls feel ashamed and guilty about their sexuality because of men’s dominant position and the violence against them. In order to get freedom and respect, the girls become as virile as the boys. The theme of love is relatively new in the representation of suburbs that are no longer considered only as a place of violence, insecurity, and conflict but also as a complex universe of relationships.

    • Abstract:
      Le parler des jeunes qui se développe intensément dans les banlieues depuis les années 90 trouve sa place dans le roman contemporain. Les auteurs analysés se focalisent sur les contraintes sentimentales que les adolescents rencontrent dans les banlieues avec leurs codes et leurs rites. La recherche, qui s’inscrit dans les études de genre, révèle la tension entre le sentiment d’amour que l’adolescent a du mal à verbaliser et l’acte sexuel associé à la transgression d’un tabou côté filles et à l’affirmation de la masculinité côté garçons. Les garçons adoptent un comportement sexuel agressif, cachent ou dominent les sentiments perçus comme un signe de faiblesse. Chez les filles la sexualité provoque un sentiment de culpabilité en raison d’une domination masculine abusive, de la violence sexiste et sexuelle envers elles. Pour gagner en liberté et en respect elles deviennent aussi viriles que les garçons. L’amour est un thème relativement nouveau dans la représentation de la banlieue qui n’est plus uniquement considérée comme un lieu de violence, de conflit mais aussi comme un univers relationnel complexe.
