Touch, gender, and sexuality in Zola's La Curée
2022
This paper addresses the issues of gender and sexuality in Zola's La Curée from a sensory studies perspective, focusing specifically on touch. The novel's atmosphere of softness is rooted in the Second Empire's obsession for luxurious comfort as well as "mollitia", an ethical and aesthethical concept inherited from Latin culture.
