- Title
Autour du silence du forgeron dans Atelier 62 de Martine Sonnet.
- Authors
Cardoso, Raissa Furlanetto
- Abstract
Martine Sonnet's Atelier 62 is built on the silence of the author's father, a proletarianized artisan who never talked about his experience as a smith at Renault in Billancourt. Through the analysis of the representation of work in the text and of its impact on human life, this study aims to present possible interpretations for the silence of the smith. First, it will demonstrate that the different kinds of work are articulated in the text on two opposite symbolic poles, one linked to silence, to the non-transmitted; and the other linked to speech, to the sharing of experience, to transmission. Then, it will discuss what would be underlying this opposition, by suggesting that the silence of the smith can be explained, on the one hand, by the physical and psychological traumas suffered in his process of proletarianization; and, on the other hand, by his separation from the sphere of social (re)production, imposed by this same process. The interpretation of the social phenomena portrayed in the text will be supported by the contributions of Marxist, eco-feminist and care ethic theorists who all converge in the criticism of the capitalist logic and its search for economic growth in spite of human life.
