Conférence: Ce que les Français font différemment en amour (et qui surprend toujours les Américains)
-
Alliance Française de Houston
Et si l’amour et le désir n’étaient pas seulement une affaire personnelle, mais aussi une affaire de culture ?
À l’occasion de son passage à Houston, l’Alliance Française de Houston a le plaisir d’accueillir Maïa Mazaurette pour une
conférence consacrée aux différences culturelles entre la France et les États-Unis en matière d’amour et de sexualité.
Après six années passées aux États-Unis, et un mariage avec un Américain, Maïa Mazaurette explore ce qui sépare - et rapproche - les deux
pays en amour et en sexualité. Comment ces deux cultures s'influencent-elles l'une l'autre ? Quels clichés tenaces méritent d'être
déconstruits - et lesquels sont effectivement fondés sur des faits documentés ? La pop-culture et la statistique permettent de révéler que
certains de nos fantasmes érotiques sont surtout... des fantasmes culturels.
La conférence sera suivie d’un temps d’échange avec le public, pour prolonger la discussion et poser vos questions à Maïa.

🕕 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
