Описание: Quand la sonnerie a encore retenti, que la porte du box s'est ouverte, c'est le silence de la salle qui est monté vers moi, le silence, et cette singulière sensation que j'ai eue lorsque j'ai constaté que le jeune journaliste avait détourné les yeux. Je n'ai pas regardé du côté de Marie. Je n'en ai pas eu le temps parce que le président m'a dit dans une forme bizarre que j'aurais la tête tranchée sur une place publique au nom du peuple français...
Описание: A biography of the novel that tells us how this poor, sickly young writer from Algeria happened to write perhaps the century`s most ubiquitous novel.
Описание: Le 04 janvier 1960, Albert Camus s’en allait un peu dans un tragique accident de voiture a l’age de 47 ans. Quatre annees auparavant, il etait l’un des plus jeunes ecrivains a recevoir le prix Nobel de litterature pour toute son ?uvre. L’enfance pauvre a Belcourt, la passion du football, le journalisme a Alger Republicain puis l’exclusion et l’exil par la France de Vichy, Camus sera force de « monter » a Paris. Il rejoindra la Resistance et sera le redacteur en chef de Combat. Romancier, dramaturge, essayiste, Camus sera aussi acteur et metteur en scene. Apres la publication de L’Homme revolte, puis la rupture avec son ami Jean-Paul Sartre, il quittera Combat puis ecrira des articles sur l’Algerie avant de se taire completement, sans neanmoins cesser d’agir en silence. Certainement pas existentialiste, anti-communiste tres tot, il avait ete l’Intellectuel de la periode 45-60 d’apres la liberation, celui dont le nom finira par etre oppose a celui de Sartre. Si Camus est mort jeune, il aura vecu pleinement sa courte vie; et s’il est encore difficile de le categoriser, il reste encore d’actualite, souleve souvent des passions, ne laissant jamais indifferent. Peut-on parler d’un heritage camusien ? Que reste-t-il de son ?uvre en Amerique ? Afin de ne pas oublier cet etranger si familier, pour le cinquantenaire de la mort de Camus, le Bureau du Doyen des Etudes Internationales et le Centre d’Etudes Europeennes de l’Universite du Wisconsin-Madison ont organise du 22 au 24 avril 2010, un symposium Albert Camus, 50 ans apres, autour des trois grands themes suivants: Camus et l’Algerie, Camus et l’exil, Camus et le public. Une quinzaine d’universitaires, de chercheurs, et de professeurs, d’Algerie, de France, du Canada et des Etats-Unis, etaient presents a ces journees dont nous publions les Actes dans cet ouvrage. L’objectif de ce second colloque etait de creer un debat autour de Camus et de sa vision, souvent prophetique, relire ses ecrits litteraires et politiques et voir dans quelle mesure son ?uvre pacifiste, peut etre une source d’inspiration dans les luttes pour la liberte et la democratie, une alternative a la violence et a la terreur qui demeurent aujourd’hui encore, helas tres actuelles.

Описание:
Like many others of my generation, I first read Camus in high school. I carried him in my backpack while traveling across Europe, I carried him into (and out of) relationships, and I carried him into (and out of) difficult periods of my life. More recently, I have carried him into university classes that I have taught, coming out of them with a renewed appreciation of his art. To be sure, my idea of Camus thirty years ago scarcely resembles my idea of him today. While my admiration and attachment to his writings remain as great as they were long ago, the reasons are more complicated and critical.—Robert Zaretsky
On October 16, 1957, Albert Camus was dining in a small restaurant on Paris's Left Bank when a waiter approached him with news: the radio had just announced that Camus had won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Camus insisted that a mistake had been made and that others were far more deserving of the honor than he. Yet Camus was already recognized around the world as the voice of a generation—a status he had achieved with dizzying speed. He published his first novel, The Stranger, in 1942 and emerged from the war as the spokesperson for the Resistance and, although he consistently rejected the label, for existentialism. Subsequent works of fiction (including the novels The Plague and The Fall), philosophy (notably, The Myth of Sisyphus and The Rebel), drama, and social criticism secured his literary and intellectual reputation. And then on January 4, 1960, three years after accepting the Nobel Prize, he was killed in a car accident.
In a book distinguished by clarity and passion, Robert Zaretsky considers why Albert Camus mattered in his own lifetime and continues to matter today, focusing on key moments that shaped Camus's development as a writer, a public intellectual, and a man. Each chapter is devoted to a specific event: Camus's visit to Kabylia in 1939 to report on the conditions of the local Berber tribes; his decision in 1945 to sign a petition to commute the death sentence of collaborationist writer Robert Brasillach; his famous quarrel with Jean-Paul Sartre in 1952 over the nature of communism; and his silence about the war in Algeria in 1956.
Both engaged and engaging, Albert Camus: Elements of a Life is a searching companion to a profoundly moral and lucid writer whose works provide a guide for those perplexed by the absurdity of the human condition and the world's resistance to meaning.

Описание: Es 2666 de Roberto Bolano una novela total? Pueden coexistir fragmentos y totalidades en un mismo libro?

Estas y otras preguntas son el objeto de estudio del presente libro, donde la cuestion de la totalidad - concepto omnipresente en los estudios del escritor chileno, si bien poco explorado - es el tema principal.

Описание: Paul Archambault explores the evolution of Camus' attitude toward Hellenism and Christianity as seen through his writing. The author considers problems as disparate as Camus' use and misuse of Aeschylus and the Presocratics, his ambivalent appraisal of Socrates, the Plotinian nature of his aesthetics, his identification of Christianity with Augustinian theology, and the Gnostic resonance of his characteristic ideas.

Описание: Capital Letters sheds new light on how literature has dealt with society’s most violent legal institution, the death penalty. It investigates this question through the works of three major French authors with markedly distinct political convictions and literary styles: Victor Hugo, Charles Baudelaire, and Albert Camus. Working at the intersection of poetics, ethics, and law, Ève Morisi uncovers an unexpected transhistorical dialogue on both the modern death penalty and the ends and means of literature after the French Revolution. Through close textual analysis, careful contextualization, and the critique of violence forged by Giorgio Agamben, Michel Foucault, and RenÉ Girard, Morisi reveals that, despite their differences, Hugo, Baudelaire, and Camus converge in questioning France’s humanitarian redefinition of capital punishment dating from the late eighteenth century. Conversely, capital justice leads all three writers to interrogate the functions, tools, and limits of their art. Capital Letters shows that the key modern debate on the political and moral responsibility, or autonomy, of literature crystallizes around the death penalty. Inflecting traditional modes of representation and writing self-reflexively or self-critically, Hugo, Baudelaire, and Camus unsettle the commonly accepted divide between strictly aesthetic and politically committed writing. Form, rather than overtly political argument, at once conveys an ethical critique of justice and reflects on the possibilities, and duties, of literature.
Описание: This is a penetrative and perceptive comparison of two of the most discussed novels of the twentieth century. Beginning with Camus' own appraisal of Kafka's work, the study convincingly analyzes the authors' fictive creations. Rhein is particularly intrigued by the function of time in the two authors' works, as well as their use of irony and the existentialist themes evident in their characters' pursuits. Through this exploration of theme and narrative devices, the author reveals these works as a reflection of the intellectual climate of twentieth century Europe.

Описание:
Over the last two decades, philosophers have been increasingly inclined to consider science fiction films as philosophical exercises that center on the nature of human consciousness and existence. Albert Camus’ philosophy of the absurd, however, has almost never been employed as a constructive perspective that can reveal unexplored aspects of these films. This is surprising, since science fiction films seem to be packed with visions and dialogues that echo the Sisyphean universe.
Cosmos and Camus endeavors to set foot in this uncharted terrain. Its first part introduces the main components of Camus’ absurdity so that it can be easily applied to the analysis of the films later. Equipped with these Camusean essentials, the book delves into an indepth analysis of two first-encounter films (Contact and Arrival) and two A.I. films (A.I. and Her). These analyses yield more than an insightful reflection of the absurd contents in science fiction film. Indeed, imaginative collisions with nonhumans seem to tell us a lot about the nature of the absurd in the human condition, as well as raising the question of whether absurdity is exclusively a human matter. Ultimately, the interpretation of the films illuminates the films themselves just as much as it illuminates, challenges, and expands Camus’ concept of absurdity.
