Portrait de l’homosexualité masculine dans le roman francophone contemporain pour adolescents et jeunes adultes– France, Belgique et Québec.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Since the early 2000s, an increasing number of teenage novels represents homosexuality and makes the homosexual hero a fictional character. Should we conclude that mentalities are progressing by making sexual diversity a theme in children's literature or, on the contrary, that these representations actually perpetuate a stereotyped image of male homosexuality? Our study focuses on the representation of homosexuality, particularly through the homosexual male character, in contemporary French-language novels for adolescents. It approaches the topic in its social and geographical context. The spatial limits have been set in three countries representative of the French-speaking world: France, Belgium and Quebec. The French-language novel for teenagers anchors fiction in aesthetic and cultural norms that invite the reader to reflect on homosexuality. It is through recurring themes that these works manifest the contemporary concerns of a homosexual character, an adolescent in most cases. So how do the authors tackle this topic? And how can these novels fall into the hands of French-speaking adolescents? Our study deals with these questions and addresses one central issue: what representations of male homosexuality and of the male homosexual character do these French-language novels offer to the adolescent reader?

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
