Abstract
[fr] Frankenstein is an international patrimony. The book is famous all over the world and has never ceased to be adapted in various art forms. The meme is everlasting, just as is the concept of gender. The following work studies the evolution of masculinity representation in various and diachronic Frankenstein-esque filmic adaptations, focusing on the T.V. series Penny Dreadful, leaning on the poststructuralist idea of gender performances and drawing on French philosopher Michel Foucault.
