George Sand And Body Writing As An Opposition To The Patriarchal Spirit

In George Sand, the female body takes the form of a discursive place where unique ideas emerge. These are placed at the service of an aesthetic novelty consisting in painting a body that wants to be the reflection of this feminine revolt in the 19th century. The novelist actually puts the female body on stage and dares to examine it as a company fighting tirelessly for a change in misogynistic thinking. The latter considers the female body as a pure tool for the satisfaction of male carnal desire. It therefore seems essential to us to ask ourselves how the organism of the woman is transformed into a mediating figure, through which the author exposes her own conception of the female body and its relationship to the sexual desire of the man. A body that dares to rise up against the patriarchal spirit, in order to impose the existence of the woman as a subject in her own right.
