La Langue verte de Barbe-Bleue ou le dit « pas poli » du monde interdit
Journal Title: Argotica - Year 2012, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
The article offers an answer to the question “How to say the world? How to say that the world forbids the forbidden world?”, structured by examples from Remi Belleau, Victor Hugo, Louis-Ferdinad Céline, Michel Audiard, Frédéric Dard and based on theories of Erving Goffman, Jacques Cellard, Francois Flahault. Indeed, either the forbidden world is not spoken about because one does not simply talk about these things among fine or well-behaved people. It is rather evoked in a technical or metaphorial way. It can also be described in other ways of talking. The prude and hypocrite way of talking about the body and the sexuality are probably an invention of the modern world, most likely of the romanticism. Some people choose the argot as a way to set these intimate realities at a distance. To each time and each social class its own
