Cet article examine l’humour subversif et féministe dans le roman 53 cm de Bessora, en analysant la manière dont l’auteure déploie des stratégies humoristiques pour déconstruire les normes de genre, de race et de pouvoir dans un cadre littéraire. L’objectif principal consiste à étudier les mécanismes de cet humour structuré autour d’un langage inventif, de titres provocateurs et de tournures transgressives pour interroger les rapports de pouvoir et redéfinir les frontières liées au genre. La méthodologie repose sur une analyse textuelle détaillée combinant la théorie féministe intersectionnelle, en particulier l’analyse des oppressions croisées (sexe, race, classe), ainsi que la déconstruction derridienne, qui permet de questionner l’instabilité des catégories identitaires et des discours normatifs. Le premier volet de l’étude explore l’humour subversif à travers les choix linguistiques et narratifs qui transgressent le cadre normatif. Le second se focalise sur l’humour féministe porté par le personnage de Zara, qui incarne une dérision du système phallocratique. Les résultats révèlent que l’humour de Bessora s’impose comme une force majeure et ludique, qui se distingue par sa capacité à allier légèreté formelle et profondeur critique, mêlant inventivité lexicale, absurdité assumée et ironie corrosive pour faire entendre les voix minoritaires, déconstruire les structures établies et redéfinir les frontières littéraires et sociales.
