Who Has the Last Bullet? Between Femininity and Feminism, Nancy Huston and Martine Delvaux Talk about Desire. In this paper I will analyze the workings of desire, as it appears in Nancy Huston’s Reflexes in a Man’s Eye and Infrared as well as in Martine Delvaux’s The Last Bullet is for You, highlighting the paradoxes between femininity and feminism. On one hand, for Delvaux, feminine desire defies feminism through its phantasm of abandon; it also implies the dogma of masculine desire, equivalent to cruelty. Thus, desire stands in for trepanation, lobotomy, and excision. On the other hand, Huston probes into the paradoxes of feminism, into its schizophrenic nature: women cannot detach themselves from the masculine gaze, internalized by a dictatorial self-hate through cinema and photography – extensions, in her view, of the masculine gaze. In order to reverse this order, Huston advances a controversial feminine model – Rena Greenblatt – and her disquieting photographic exhibitions, “Men’s Mysteries,” through which desire could be metamorphosed into love. For Delvaux, desire is non-metamorphic.
Keywords: feminism, femininity, desire, photography, cinema, masculine gaze.
