Resumo

This paper focuses on the thematization and functions of silence in Marie Darrieussecq's 2013 novel Il faut beaucoup aimer les hommes. In a narrative about the development and filming of a cinematic production of Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness, the ambivalent love affair between a white actress and a black director brings to light issues regarding the possibility of speech and constrained silence. Power issues related to gender and race are constantly intertwined, raising questions that were already present in Conrad's novel, which is here rewritten and rethought, giving a voice to female characters who were largely devoid of the right to speak.
