A man’s world : incorporation langagière à la Légion étrangère
The masculine representations in force at the French Foreign Legion displace the notion of the fatherland, not that of France but the French Foreign Legion, a group of membership whose particularity is to recruit men exclusively.

| description | The masculine representations in force at the French Foreign Legion displace the notion of the fatherland, not that of France but the French Foreign Legion, a group of membership whose particularity is to recruit men exclusively. Through a process of incorporation, the male body becomes a collective body marked by a warlike masculinity of which the woman is excluded because foreign. Based on a corpus of 57 songs taken from the songbooks published by the French Foreign Legion and interviews conducted with legion officers between 2012 and 2016, I propose to question this collective body as a discursive body that conducts naturalization working social in a military context expressing virility, force that leads to the sexualization of women as language objects. At first, I define language incorporation as a dual process of military socialization. In a second time, I question the deposition of the individual body as an adhesion to a military order which opens later on an exacerbation of the collective and a sexualization of the fighting body. Finally, I return to the incorporation of a military culture that takes the forms of a naturalization of the body in the war. |
