- Title
Ces femmes qui font rire: du stéréotype féminin aux "nouvelles féminités" dans les talk-shows en France.

- Abstract
This article focuses on the definition and production of feminine stereotypes by humorists in television talk shows in France. Representations of femininity on the humoristic scene have been subjected to many reductive constructions, through transvestite characters in the 1980s'. The emergence of female humorists on the television scene has redefined the frame of female stereotypes and their function. Female humorists appropriate some stereotypes in a critical manner, so as to open visibility channels and to assert a middle class point of view on femininity. But they also articulate stereotypes with different class, profession, and age categories. This new complexity in stereotyping processes takes part in the emergence of a reflexive humor and blurs gender categories.
