Download or read book Albert Camus in the 21st Century written by Christine Margerrison and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2008 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first decade of a new century, this collection of bilingual essays examines Camus's continuing popularity for a new generation of readers. In crucial respects, the world Camus knew has changed beyond all recognition: decolonization, the fall of the Iron Curtain, a new era of globalization and the rise of new forms of terrorism have all provoked a reconsideration of Camus's writings. If the Absurd once struck a particular chord, Meursault is as likely now to be seen as a colonial figure who expresses the alienation of the settler from the land of his birth. Yet this increasing orthodoxy must also take account of the reasons why a new community of Algerian readers have embraced Camus. ...] This volume, which ranges from interpretations of Camus's literary works, his journalism and his political writings, will be of interest to all those seeking to re-evaluate Camus's work in the light of ethical and political issues that are of continuing relevance today.
Download or read book L tranger d Albert Camus Analyse approfondie written by Julie Pihard and published by Profil littéraire. This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage fournit une analyse approfondie de L'Étranger d'Albert Camus avec toutes les clés pour analyse l'œuvre. Publié en 1942, L'Étranger forme avec Le Mythe de Sisyphe, Caligula et Le Malentendu, le cycle de l'absurde. À travers ces romans, Albert Camus dévoile une philosophie tournée vers l'amour de l'existence et la croyance en la solidarité humaine, s'éloignant par là même de l'existentialisme qui présente une doctrine davantage tournée vers la solitude. Si le roman est célébré par la jeune génération qui peine à trouver du sens à son quotidien, la critique se montre assez virulente à son égard, décriant l'apparente simplicité du style camusien. Ce n'est que bien des années plus tard que des intellectuels reconnaîtront son génie et feront de cette œuvre l'un des classiques de la littérature française. Après une courte introduction, Julie Pihard nous raconte la vie d'Albert Camus. Vient ensuite un résumé complet de l'œuvre étudiée à travers lequel elle dévoile l'évolution de Meursault. Après avoir replacé l'œuvre dans son contexte, elle étudie les personnages-clés du roman : Meursault, Raymond Sintès, le groupe d'Arabes, etc. Puis vient la présentation des thématiques du roman, depuis l'absurdité de la vie jusqu'à la révolte de Meursault. Pour terminer, l'auteure se prête à une étude du style camusien et met en lumière sa profonde singularité. Profil Littéraire propose des analyses approfondies faisant le tour complet des plus grandes œuvres de la littérature. Notre objectif est de permettre à nos lecteurs d'aller plus loin dans leur expérience de lecture et leur offrir ainsi un nouveau regard sur l'oeuvre concernée.

Download or read book The Narcissistic Text written by Brian T. Fitch and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1982-12-15 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critics, theologians, philosophers, and psychoanalysts have written several thousand books, theses, and articles about Camus' fiction. His first published novel, L'Etranger, had a unique impact on a whole generation of readers, and is other fiction, although not as well known, has also been influential. However, Camus' fiction so far has not been judged by contemporary critical methods, and 'inter-textuality,' or the study of the interrelationship between Camus' own texts, has not been examined. The Narcissistic Text: A Reading of Camus' Fiction is the first book devoted to the whole of Camus' fiction to adopt this approach. Brian Fitch uses the critical tools elaborated in the writings of such French formalists as Barthes, Ricardou, and Todorov and draws upon the hermeneutic theory of literature developed by Gadamer and Ricoeur. As a result, the self-generating word-play or linguistic narcissism of 'Jonas' and the textual narcissism of La Peste are seen to give way, in L'Etranger, to a situation where the hermeneutic circle is itself contained within the circularity of autoreprésentation. As for the narcissism of La Chute, it concerns the reader himself, since what the text provides is a model of the hermeneutic process. Fitch thus demonstrates that Camus' fiction occupies a significant place in modern literature. This volume will be of particular interest to those involved in Camus studies or concerned with contemporary critical methodology and literary theory.

Download or read book The Outsider written by Albert Camus and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a young Algerian named Meursault kills a man, his subsequent imprisonment and trial are puzzling and absurd. The apparently amoral Meursault--who puts little stock in ideas like love and God--seems to be on trial less for his murderous actions, and more for what the authorities believe is his deficient character.
Download or read book The Expression of Tense Aspect Modality and Evidentiality in Albert Camus s L tranger and Its Translations L tranger de Camus et ses traductions questions de temps d aspect de modalit et d videntialit TAME written by Eric Corre and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the linguistic treatment of tense-aspect-modal-evidential (TAME) expressions in translations of the French novel L’Étranger by Albert Camus into sixteen languages. It is strongly empirical in spirit, and uses the method of contrastive linguistics and multilingual comparison through the use of parallel corpora. It has five main parts: the first two offer insights into perfect and imperfect tenses in Indo-European languages; the third part shifts the focus on non Indo-European languages; the fourth part deals with modality, and the last part is more translation-oriented. These contents make this book a valuable contribution in semantic micro-typology. In terms of readership, both linguists and specialists in translation, as well as literature scholars, can benefit from the contributions presented in this book. It also relates to other usage-based, corpus-driven studies of TAME phenomena, and to monographs that take as their object of study the use of corpus linguistics in translation studies.
Download or read book The Fiction of Albert Camus written by Moya Longstaffe and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a fresh look at the novels and short stories of Albert Camus, from his early attempt at a first novel, La Mort heureuse, to the largely autobiographical Le Premier homme, unfinished at the time of his death. It seeks to see the oeuvre as a totality, coherent throughout, and examines the linkages and transformations from one work to the next, in the context of Camus's thought, attitudes and topoi or themes. The development of narrative techniques is examined, ranging from laconism to lyricism, from allegorism to realism, from humour to biting satire. The author traces the influence on Camus's thought of philosophers and thinkers as diverse as Nietzsche and the pre-Socratics on the one hand, and St Augustine, Pascal, and Simone Weil on the other, and considers the circularity of his work, from the early preoccupation with the finality of death and the search for meaning to the return to the origin and source in Le Premier homme. The enduring appeal of Camus's work is attributed to its humane openness and its challenges for our time.

Download or read book Albert Camus Marguerite Duras and the Legacy of Mourning written by Michelle Beauclair and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1998 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the complexity of mourning in the works of two of the most widely read, yet rarely compared, contemporary authors in France, Albert Camus, born and raised in Algeria, and Marguerite Duras, originally from the former French Indochina. The book studies the figurative and thematic representations of mourning in these authors' works to show how their depictions of grieving extend beyond classic psychoanalytic theories of bereavement to portray a mourning that is unmitigated and interminable. The text completes this examination by exploring the distinction between individual and collective mourning attempts and by underscoring the pervasive tone of melancholy in the post-World War II writings of both authors.
Download or read book Camus Imperial Vision written by Anthony Rizzuto and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the young Camus celebrated his godlike difference, Anthony Rizzuto reveals here that this leading existentialist gradually embraced the community of man. In the early Camus (La Morte heureuse, Caligula, L’Etranger), Rizzuto identifies an imperial vision that requires utter detachment. It presumes the “ability to be reborn . . . purely out of one’s will.” Body and mind must be separated, memory stifled. In Le Mythe de Sisyphe the Camus hero evolves from a detached intellectual to a man of action. Camus urges commitment, argues against suicide. Yet the imperial vision persists; the protagonist is an actor-hero who creates himself, who shows himself not as he is but as he would be. The plague, a mad moral equivalent to the Nazi invasion, forms human ties in La Peste. Camus preaches solidarity, shifts focus from the self to the group. Dr. Rieux, the protagonist, reflects Camus’ new sense of commitment: he is not an elitist actor-hero but a man among equals. With L’Homme révolté, Camus affirms human nature and, for the first time, acknowledges the past: “The suppression of the past, whether historical or psychological, engenders not an emancipated future but a bloody fiction… Every modern revolution has… contributed to the further enslavement of man.” Camus’ last novel, La Chute, satirizes both Sartre and his own earlier work. Here Camus attacks the concept of monologue, calling instead for dialogue—a democratic exchange of ideas. He also recants his ridicule of the Socratic dictum, “Know thyself.” And reversing his earlier position, Camus concludes that the “division of sensation and intellect spawns cultural barbarism.” No longer an aloof god, Camus has become a man.
