Abstract

Voici enfin une somme critique consacrée aux multiples facettes de la relation entre Albert Camus et la scène de théâtre. Réunissant des exégètes camusiens aussi bien que des théâtrologues et des professionnels de la scène, elle embrasse une pluralité d’approches et de sensibilités. La première de ses quatre parties se concentre sur le répertoire dramatique de Camus : les pièces de son cru autant que ses adaptations scéniques de romans, ses traductions de pièces étrangères et les créations collectives. La seconde partie considère le praticien qui a expérimenté tous les métiers de la scène, et la veine théorique qu’il développe dans certains textes de réflexion. L’ensemble de cette première moitié du livre couvre ses nombreux accomplissements reliés au théâtre ; celui-ci apparaît dans toute sa polymorphie comme une sphère d’activité permanente sur le parcours camusien. La suite du livre examine la fortune scénique remarquable non seulement du corpus dramatique mais aussi de récits camusiens : d’abord en France (c’est l’objet de la troisième partie), puis à l’étranger (c’est l’objet de la quatrième et dernière partie). D’une façon inusitée, en se penchant sur la vie théâtrale contemporaine, elle met vigoureusement au jour l’actualité de l’œuvre fictive de Camus à l’échelle occidentale.

Abstract

Albert Camus is one of the iconic figures of twentieth-century French literature, one of France's most widely read modern literary authors and one of the youngest winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature. As the author of L'Etranger and the architect of the notion of 'the Absurd' in the 1940s, he shot to prominence in France and beyond. His work nevertheless attracted hostility as well as acclaim and he was increasingly drawn into bitter political controversies, especially the issue of France's place and role in the country of his birth, Algeria. Most recently, postcolonial studies have identified in his writings a set of preoccupations ripe for revisitation. Situating Camus in his cultural and historical context, this 2007 Companion explores his best-selling novels, his ambiguous engagement with philosophy, his theatre, his increasingly high-profile work as a journalist and his reflection on ethical and political questions that continue to concern readers today.

Abstract

Pour mettre fin à une légende fabriquée de toutes pièces par Sartre et les siens, celle d'un Camus "philosophe pour classes terminales", d'un homme de gauche tiède, d'un penseur des petits Blancs pendant la guerre d'Algérie, Michel Onfray nous invite à la rencontre d'une œuvre et d'un destin exceptionnels. Né à Alger, Albert Camus a appris la philosophie en même temps qu'il découvrait un monde auquel il est resté fidèle toute sa vie, celui des pauvres, des humiliés, des victimes.Celui de son père, ouvrier agricole mort à la guerre, celui de sa mère, femme de ménage morte aux mots mais modèle de vertu méditerranéenne : droiture, courage, sens de l'honneur, modestie, dignité. La vie philosophique d'Albert Camus, qui fut hédoniste, libertaire, anarchiste, anticolonialiste et viscéralement hostile à tous les totalitarismes, illustre de bout en bout cette morale solaire.

Abstract

Camus, Philosophe: To Return to our Beginnings is the first book on Camus to read Camus in light of, and critical dialogue with, subsequent French and European philosophy. It argues that, while not an academic philosopher, Albert Camus was a philosophe in more profound senses looking back to classical precedents, and the engaged French lumières of the 18th century. Aiming his essays and literary writings at the wider reading public, Camus’ criticism of the forms of ‘political theology’ enshrined in fascist and Stalinist regimes singles him out markedly from more recent theological and messianic turns in French thought. His defense of classical thought, turning around the notions of natural beauty, a limit, and mesure makes him a singularly relevant figure given today’s continuing debates about climate change, as well as the way forward for the post-Marxian Left. This book is also available in paperback.

Abstract

In these original readings of Albert Camus' novels, short stories, and political essays, David Carroll concentrates on Camus' conflicted relationship with his Algerian background and finds important critical insights into questions of justice, the effects of colonial oppression, and the deadly cycle of terrorism and counterterrorism that characterized the Algerian War and continues to surface in the devastation of postcolonial wars today. During France's "dirty war" in Algeria, Camus called for an end to the violence perpetrated against civilians by both France and the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN) and supported the creation of a postcolonial, multicultural, and democratic Algeria. His position was rejected by most of his contemporaries on the Left and has, ironically, earned him the title of colonialist sympathizer as well as the scorn of important postcolonial critics. Carroll rescues Camus' work from such criticism by emphasizing the Algerian dimensions of his literary and philosophical texts and by highlighting in his novels and short stories his understanding of both the injustice of colonialism and the tragic nature of Algeria's struggle for independence. By refusing to accept that the sacrifice of innocent human lives can ever be justified, even in the pursuit of noble political goals, and by rejecting simple, ideological binaries (West vs. East, Christian vs. Muslim, "us" vs. "them," good vs. evil), Camus' work offers an alternative to the stark choices that characterized his troubled times and continue to define our own. "What they didn't like, was the Algerian, in him," Camus wrote of his fictional double in The First Man. Not only should "the Algerian" in Camus be "liked," Carroll argues, but the Algerian dimensions of his literary and political texts constitute a crucial part of their continuing interest. Carroll's reading also shows why Camus' critical perspective has much to contribute to contemporary debates stemming from the global "war on terror."
