Machiavelli shared with Renaissance society the ideal of a cultural and civil renovatio, of a new conception of life and freedom. Even if the misogynistic element in his work prevails over the philogynous, Machiavelli was keenly aware of the contradictions of his time and conceived of extraordinary female figures showing all the paradoxes of a society intent on the pursuit of perfection in the “mutation” between “right measure,” “grace,” and bon giudicio. Starting from a study of the gender and critical interest in Machiavelli’s representation of women, this article, through a new reading of Machiavelli’s theatrical texts, tries to demonstrate this paradox and to suggest what we might call its “moral reason.” Through the comic element generated by the reversal of perspective, Machiavelli reflected on the immoral, or amoral, values of a private and public life, created according to ancient norms that regarded women, despite their worth and their education, as objects of the scenic perfection of life in society, from which they could escape only by relying on their own intelligence.

The first volume of Jovette Marchessault's autobiographical trilogy, Le crachat solaire [Like a Child of the Earth], tells the story of the narrator's cosmic journey to the earth, her birth, as well as her travels in the belly of a Greyhound bus through the Americas as an adult, which connects her to “the Amerindian land.” After a long journey, she feels the need to return to Montreal, a story of return that joins that of her fall to the earth in the carnal envelope of her physical body. The two intertwining narratives offer an alternative vision of history through a narrative of the self, of her family, of her ancestors and of a creation story. This unique feminist text published in 1975 articulates patriarchal domination with the violence of colonialism in an effort to offer a feminist and anti-colonial version of the history of Montreal, Quebec, and the Americas more broadly. From my position as a white settler feminist, I analyze how Marchessault's autobiographical narrative pushes for an anti-colonial consciousness for Quebec feminists and encourages a critical look at the history of colonialism in Quebec.

Philippe Vilain is one of the few writers to designate autofiction as his preferred genre and, what is more, to subscribe in his essays to Doubrovsky’s most restricted conception of the genre, which combines fiction and homonymity (the author and protagonist must share the same name). Vilain nonetheless relaxes this definition by allowing the narrator-character to remain anonymous: this is ‘‘anomalous’’ autofiction. This article examines the theoretical validity of this thesis and its implementation in Vilain’s novels.
