AbstractHow to disobey without following the canonical ways of disobedience ? This article offers a reading of Elsa Morante's work in the light of this question to which Carlottina in The World saved by the kids, finds an original answer. The wonderful tale of the yellow star apparently sums up Elsa Morante's whole literary work : the question is not for her to side with the avant-gardes and to subvert tradition's rules, for instance, (this form of disobedience being provided for by “The Law”), nor to side with literary tradition, and obey its authority, rather to devise another form of disobedience, neither anticipated, nor diametrically opposite to the Law. Morante's disobedience seems to retrieve women's actual experience, and goes through a becoming-woman of consciousness and poetry. A becoming-woman to which women have to accede in order to exit their history, in order to write another history, also made of bodies, silence, actual everyday experiences, the history of a plural “I”, open to the other.

This article explores the period around 1980, preceding and following the first referendum on Quebec sovereignty, using two journals: Dérives (1975-1987) and Le Temps fou (1978-1983), whose titles evoke a state of temporal and spatial flux, a “mouvance.” But was this state related to ideas and intellectuals, to the national question, to Quebec politics, or to politics in general? After establishing how these journals are comparable (in their themes and texts) and identifying their initial objectives and their networks, this article analyzes their relationship to the national question and to politics. The two journals, both well anchored in Quebec yet open to the wider world, were not especially preoccupied with the national question and the referendum because their commitment to change and utopian thought led them to redefine politics.
