Abstract :
[en] This article suggests interpretating the prostitute in Flaubert’s novel Salammbô from a double angle, using both Sartre’s political philosophy and Alain Rabatel’s enunciative and rhetorical analysis. Understanding that discursive devices reveal an ideological and moral dimension, this approach intends to highlight the constitutive ambivalence of the prostitute by considering this figure in the social ensemble that determines and constrains human relations and that Sartre named “pratico-inerte”. Far from reducing the figure to a pure reification, we propose to understand it as what the philosopher called “matière ouvrée”, namely the result of a collective work, which tends to be defined as fetishized merchandise. As Sartre’s philosophy suggests, the prostitute is then given a power of subjectivation that transforms the men behind the prostitution in objects subjected to this fetishism, becoming in return a “matière ouvrée” according to a dialectical reversal which is translated in the enunciative and rhetorical structures of the novel.
