Moisseeff Marika
    help
is an ethnologist and psychiatrist.
Her anthropological work is concerned with the comparative cultural study of representations of sexuality and procreation in modern Western societies and traditional contexts, especially the Australian Aborigines. That perspective led her to work on initiation rites, the cultural objects used in fertility rites and, more recently, science fiction as contemporary Western mythology. She is the author, among other books and articles, of “Alien ou la science-fiction comme mythologie contemporaine” (2003), “Une femme initiée en vaut ... deux : de l’île aux femmes polynésienne à l’Alien américaine” (2003), and “Le monstre comme symbole de l’horreur maternelle” (2002).
