Abstract
AbstractIn this article I explore the links between the form and content of narratives collected from a young Malagasy/French woman, named Soa, who has recently moved from Madagascar to France. Soa's self‐account is riddled with stories that point out the ambiguities inherent in her experience of life as a woman with feet, and obligations, in two worlds at once. Rather than indicating her confusion or uncertainty, it is argued here that these stories, and the form in which they are presented, indicate the sort of ironic stance that may well be the prerogative of transnational, millionétisse narrators like Soa.
