Abstract

Il y a une convergence obligée entre SF et féminisme. D'abord la SF a 'pour ancêtre l'utopie, et imagine donc des modèles de société autres, tout comme le féminisme est obligé de le faire; ensuite, la SF permet d'aborder les problèmes des femmes d'un point de vue créatif et non réactif comme la littérature normative; enfin la distance mythique retrouvée dans la SF permet aux auteures et lectrices d'accéder pleinement au registre héroïque, qui leur est souvent dénié par la littérature normative.There is a necessary convergence between science fiction and feminism. On one hand, SF has utopia for an ancestor and therefore invents other societal models, as feminism itself must do. On the other hand, SF deals creatively with women's problems, not just reactively like mainstream literature does. And finally, due to the mythic perspective that permeates SF, writers and readers can fully participate in the heroic, which is often denied to by mainstream literature
