We're going to do exactly as if you were talking about your ex-boyfriend in the French Bank and you're going to be able to register to be able to repeat exactly what I just said the day back. For my new course, I chose to present the Ball de Folle, it was a Roman of Victor Yamass. It was a book that has obtained a number of literary success and, especially the Prironodot d'Elicien in 2019. This is a place in a quite particular place, which is the capital of the Salpétrière in Paris, and in the end of the 19th century. This capital is going to be the place of experimentation of the famous doctor Charko, who is a doctor who has truly existed and who is considered as the pioneer of the neurology. But this is the beginning of the century, the month of experiments on women and we're going to cross the fate of two young girls. We'll first have Louise, who is one of the patients of Dr. Charko and who is interned at the Salpétrière. And Eugenie, who is a young girl who lives in Paris, and who wishes to differ a little from the family carcass and very impressive from her father. Eugenie is a bit particular, she hears voices and she will be interned by her father and her brother at the capital of the Salpétrière. This is a truly amazing fact that the Bale des Falls of Vitoria Mass and it's a lecture that we don't forget. This reminds me of a really terrifying way of thinking about how women were treated at the beginning of the 19th century, and especially the sick women. This reminds us that the hysteria is a very masculine concept, and it comes from the epidemiology of the uterus, which is a feminine genital organ. And according to the time, this uterus, this organ, was responsible for malady as the hysteria. These are the theories that obviously do not exist today, and we know that the foli touches all the time, the men and the women. But the time is so masculine that the victims are women and the oppressors are really the men. I put this novel because it is written mainly about the present narration, which makes the writing very alive. Every chapter is written like a "peripacy", and we really want to know what will happen to Jenny, Louise, but also Geneviève, who has a dream that will help the two young women. It's a really important novel that is necessary to read to understand the progress of the feminist cause of the 19th century. And we can sometimes have fun watching the film of Melanie Laurent, who is also very interested in having it.
