Ma Vie en Rose (1997)
How does Ma Vie en Roseexplore ideas of authority in Milgram, discipline in Foucault, opinionand norms in Mill and Douglass?You don’t have to explore all of these, but perhaps one, or some of them! For example, you could write a paper on how the community response to Ludovig in Ma Vie en Roseillustrateswhat Mill called the “tyranny of opinion”.Or, perhaps: how did Ludovig’s community, or school, or family, or peers, employ “panoptic-like”responses, in Foucault’s sense, to Ludovic’s idiosyncracies? Do you think Ma Vie en Roseis a dated depiction of the social response to Ludovic’s gender identity,or do you think it is still relevant today? How so?
