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. ### À propos de Maïa Mazaurette Maïa Mazaurette est chroniqueuse genre & sexo depuis dix ans pour Le Monde. Elle a également travaillé en télévision et en radio. Elle a publié des essais, des romans et des bandes dessinées, toujours autour de la thématique du corps et de la sexualité - dernier livre en date : Maison Close (2025, éditions Anne Carrière).
