In this article, I will discuss the way in which Nina Bouraoui goes about circumventing and/or going beyond the andro- and heterocentric norms that hinder her daily life in her future project, continually preventing her from becoming herself. I will measure to what extent the ability to project oneself phantasmatically outside of these shackles proves to be life-saving and allows for the construction of identity. I will show the fundamental place occupied by the bodies of others, regardless of birth sex, in this process. Through the prism of writing, which has made an (all-)powerful woman of her, Nina Bouraoui thus liberates women from the gender that has been assigned to them and opens up an unlimited horizon of possibilities for them.
