L'A. etudie la relation entre identite sexuelle et identite collective dans le contexte actuel de la globalisation. Il decrit de quelle maniere le post-modernisme envisage la notion de sujet. Il compare l'approche narrative de la construction identitaire imaginee par Virginia Woolf dans son roman «Orlando» et celle defendue par Charles Taylor dans son ouvrage «Sources of the Self». Il denonce les limites de la narration en ce domaine. Il propose une approche psychanalytique feministe du moi. Il examine l'influence des facteurs politiques et collectifs sur la formation identitaire et subjective. Il presente la theorie du sujet elaboree par Jessica Benjamin. Il s'interroge quant au role de la perspective feministe face au developpement de l'intolerance et de la xenophobie dans le monde actuel.

Would the real Virginia Woolf please stand up? Feminist criticism, the androgyny debates, and Orlando

In Orlando: A Biography, Virginia Woolf substantiates continuity in Orlando's transhistorical, transgender character through national identity. Through her emphasis on Orlando's elemental relationship to national space and poetic entrenchment in a national literature, though, Woolf reveals Englishness to be composed of exclusions as well as inclusions. She thus illustrates the extent to which national identity is haunted by what she might have called \"invisible presences\" that inhabit the nation not as subjects and citizens, but as ghosts. Woolf works out her conflicted stance on national identity through hauntings insofar as she builds silences and absences into her narrative of Orlando's Englishness.
