Chantal Chawaf (born 1943) is a French writer. == Biography == Chawaf was born in Paris, during World War II. She studied art and literature at l'École du Louvre, after which she married and lived 7 years in Damascus, where she had two children. She also traveled and lived for some years in Europe and North America. In 1974, she published, her first book, with Editions des Femmes, 〔http://www.desfemmes.fr/catalogue/chantal_chawaf.htm〕 the feminist press created by activists in the MLF (Mouvement de Liberation des Femmes) centered around French feminist Antoinette Fouque. Chawaf’s first book, ''Retable. la rêverie'', started what critics called "Écriture féminine" along Hélène Cixous, Catherine Clément, Julia Kristeva et Luce Irigaray.〔Bosshard, Marianne, "Chantal Chawaf", Collection Monographique, Editions Rodopi (1999),〕 Other key texts by Chawaf include; ''Cercoeur'' (1975) and ''Maternité'' (1979). In her books, Chawaf explores the mother-daughter relationship and attempts to realize the potential of words to free the female unconscious, to de-intellectualize the body and to give voice to an inner experience.〔Kay, Sarah, Cave Terence , Bowie Malcolm," Short History of French Literature" - Page 290, Oxford University Press (2006)〕 〔http://muse.jhu.edu/login?auth=0&type=summary&url=/journals/women_in_french_studies/v020/20.schwerdtner.html〕 Chantal Chawaf's work on birth and life-giving leads, in her last decade books, to an eco-critique of contemporary society (''Melusine des détritus'').〔http://www.uga.edu/rom/syllabi/2009_fall/FREN-8600-Krell.pdf〕 She has traveled frequently in the United States where her work has been translated and studied.〔http://www.wellesley.edu/french/faculty/mistacco/node/1282〕 She also edited a collection at a publishing house in Paris from 2000 to 2010. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chantal Chawaf」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
