French philosopher and political scientist From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Camille Froidevaux-Metterie (born November 18, 1968) is a French philosopher, researcher and professor of political science. Her work focuses on the transformations of the female condition in the contemporary era, in a phenomenological perspective that places the question of the body at the center of the reflection. Her work also focuses on women's reappropriation of their bodies as expressed in recent feminist movements dealing with issues related to intimacy and female genitality (notably the Harvey Weinstein affair and the MeToo movement). In 2017, she was awarded the Chevalier de l'ordre national du Mérite. Her work has been developed in continuity of the feminist philosophy of Simone de Beauvoir and Iris Marion Young.

Camille Froidevaux-Metterrie was born in Paris, 1968.[1] Her 1997 dissertation at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences under the direction of Marcel Gauchet was entitled, Religion, politique et histoire : christianisme et modernité selon Ernst Troeltsch.[2]
She initially directed her research towards the relationship between politics and religion in the Western world, from her thesis on the German sociologist, Ernst Troeltsch[2] to her work on the theological-political question[more precision needed] in the United States.[3] She was a lecturer in political science at the Paris-Panthéon-Assas University[4] from 2002 to 2011. From 2010 to 2015, she was a member of the Institut Universitaire de France.[5] Since 2011, she has been a professor at the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne, where she is also in charge of the Equality and Diversity program.[6]
In 2010, she made a thematic turn to focus on contemporary changes affecting the status of women. She has been studying the consequences of feminist studies on the division of the private-female and public-masculine spheres, highlighting a phenomenon of "desexualization of the world".[7] On this basis, she has been investigating the meaning of women's bodies from a phenomenological perspective.[8]
From a sociological point of view, her research has led to a large-scale survey of French women politicians, which has resulted in a docu-drama entitled Dans la jungle.[9] From a philosophical approach, her research has led to a series of articles [about what?][10] and a book entitled La révolution du féminin, published in 2015 by Éditions Gallimard.
From 2012 to 2018, she popularized her work through the blog "Féminin singulier" of the French Philosophie Magazine.[11] Her expertise in gender inequality and feminist movements is regularly solicited by French public media.[12][13][14][15]
In September 2021, she published Un corps à soi, a work where she joined philosophical theory, testimonies and personal experiences on the physical dimensions of feminism.[16]
