This article examines the significance of transmedia choices in two of Chlo�e Delaume’s most recent works, Pauvre folle Delaume (2023) and Phallers (2024c), within the context of feminist discourse and the evolving cultural landscape of the post-#MeToo era. Engaging with themes of gender-based violence, Delaume challenges the dominant narratives shaping mainstream imagination, instead advocating for a radical subversion of conventional gen- dered representation. This shift also necessitates a reconsideration of media strategies for conveying a message that overturns the perception of women as victims. Employing humor and gore as subversive narrative tools, Delaume seeks to extend her storytelling beyond the literary sphere (“hard trans- media”) to navigate the strenuous constraints imposed by patriarchal barriers in the show business, which continue to hinder the dissemination of counter- discourses within popular visual culture. By examining the narrative and esthetic transitions between Pauvre Folle and Phallers, this study elucidates how Delaume’s work actively engages with civil society, fostering a reconfig- uration of collective consciousness to reshape socio-cultural scenarios.

Abstract

This article examines the significance of transmedia choices in two of Chlo�e Delaume’s most recent works, Pauvre folle Delaume (2023) and Phallers (2024c), within the context of feminist discourse and the evolving cultural landscape of the post-#MeToo era. Engaging with themes of gender-based violence, Delaume challenges the dominant narratives shaping mainstream imagination, instead advocating for a radical subversion of conventional gen- dered representation. This shift also necessitates a reconsideration of media strategies for conveying a message that overturns the perception of women as victims. Employing humor and gore as subversive narrative tools, Delaume seeks to extend her storytelling beyond the literary sphere (“hard trans- media”) to navigate the strenuous constraints imposed by patriarchal barriers in the show business, which continue to hinder the dissemination of counter- discourses within popular visual culture. By examining the narrative and esthetic transitions between Pauvre Folle and Phallers, this study elucidates how Delaume’s work actively engages with civil society, fostering a reconfig- uration of collective consciousness to reshape socio-cultural scenarios.
