Résumé
Par une analyse de la littérature féministe sur l’anorexie mentale comme problème social, cet article montre que les diverses théorisations du phénomène, intimement liées aux contextes social et historique de leur production, informent au moins autant les transformations de la normativité et de l’individualité que celles de l’anorexie en elle-même. Entre les années 1970 et aujourd’hui, l’interprétation passe d’un paradigme de l’aliénation à un propos sur la production discursive de la subjectivité anorexique, avant que n’émerge une conception relationnelle du sujet et de l’expérience anorexique. En ce sens, l’analyse du problème fluctue à la mesure des évolutions de la société.

Abstract
Through an analysis of the feminist literature on anorexia as a social problem, this paper shows that the different theoretical renderings of this phenomenon, closely linked to the social and historical context in which they are produced, inform the transformations of normativity and individuality at least as much as those of anorexia itself. From 1970 up until today, the interpretation goes from an alienation paradigm to an analysis of the discursive production of the anorexic subjectivity. We now see emerge a relational understanding of the anorexic subject and experience. Those fluctuations in the analysis translate the current evolution of society.
