Les mots recueillis dans ce dictionnaire tactile de la langue contemporaine ont en commun de relayer le pouvoir de sexuation graphique, les effets de gangue et de gang d'une lettre phallique, micro-organe érectile de pouvoir : G ou g. De "genre" à "gouvernance", de "jungle" à "migrant" ou "hégémonie", cet essai analyse le régime graphique d'une lettre-corps, courroie de transmission d'une machine à binariser, à normer, à pré-former, à soumettre.</div><span class="texte3" style="margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><br class="" style="margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px;"><br class="" style="margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px;"><font face="verdana" style="font-size: 9px;" class="">ISBN : 978-2-343-09442-7 • juillet 2016 • 260 pages</font><br class=""><br class=""><font face="verdana" style="font-size: 9px;" class="">Pour commander le livre sur notre site web:</font><br class=""><br class=""><a href="http://www.editions-harmattan.fr/index.asp?navig=catalogue&sr=7" class="" style="font-size: 9px; font-family: verdana;">http://www.editions-harmattan.fr/index.asp?navig=catalogue&sr=7</a><br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><font face="Times New Roman" size="2" class=""><b class=""><i class="">Alphagenre </i>: or how to read digitally, through the tip of one’s fingers. The words gathered in this tactile inventory of contemporary French operate as gendered relays, graphically conveying a phallic force harboured in and around a letter, approached as a micro-organ of power — g or G, lower or upper-case, limp or loud. Through contextual analyses of order words such as “migrants”, jungle”, gouvernance,” “genre” (in a French context), or “hégémonie”, this essay addresses the graphic interface of an embodied and embedded letter, made to operate as a portable, binary, normative and formative mechanism. </b></font></span></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div></blockquote></div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
