Ce mémoire étudie la prostitution dans le roman Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure de John Cleland comme moyen réussi d'indépendance financière et de mobilité sociale dans une société patriarcale du XVIIIe siècle. Respectivement, il met en évidence la résistance de l'héroïne à ces structures. Dans le premier chapitre, j'analyse le personnage de Fanny Hill et l'importance des choix qu'elle fait pour transformer son statut financier. Ainsi, je discuterai des maquerelles, les femmes qui supervisent l’affaire du bordel, en tant que figures centrales dans la formation de la personnalité de Fanny en plus de sa relation amoureuse avec Charles, le jeune homme qu'elle rencontre dans le bordel et s'échappe avec lui.

AbstractAcross the African continent there is an increasingly visible and audible LGBTI community, claiming social space and demanding legitimacy, in a context which is demonstrably repressive of homosexuality; homosexuality in Africa is no longer willing to stay hidden. In this new socio-sexual movement one can find socio-anthropologic meanings. The work presented is an analytical first draft exposing relations between the nascent collectives' transnational mobilizations and contextual forces which prohibit homosexuality. The objective is to expose the framework in which the process of “visibilisation” of homosexuality takes place through new forms of community mobilization. One of our hypothesis is that the hostility of the social environment may contribute positively to feed and to strengthen those nascent mobilizations.

This exercise in "spontaneous sociology" discloses an image of society which resembles in many ways that of postmodern thought: a loss of confidence in the rationality of the social order, institutional lag and dys-functionality vis-a-vis the rapid evolution of society and the loss of anchors for identity in the social space.
