Description

Le 04 janvier 1960, Albert Camus s'en allait un peu dans un tragique accident de voiture à l'âge de 47 ans. Quatre années auparavant, il était l'un des plus jeunes écrivains à recevoir le prix Nobel de littérature pour toute son œuvre. L'enfance pauvre à Belcourt, la passion du football, le journalisme à Alger Républicain puis l'exclusion et l'exil par la France de Vichy, Camus sera forcé de monter à Paris. Il rejoindra la Résistance et sera le rédacteur en chef de Combat. Romancier, dramaturge, essayiste, Camus sera aussi acteur et metteur en scène. Après la publication de L'Homme révolté, puis la rupture avec son ami Jean-Paul Sartre, il quittera Combat puis écrira des articles sur l'Algérie avant de se taire complètement, sans néanmoins cesser d'agir en silence. Certainement pas existentialiste, anti-communiste très tôt, il avait été l'Intellectuel de la période 45-60 d'après la libération, celui dont le nom finira par être opposé à celui de Sartre. Si Camus est mort jeune, il aura vécu pleinement sa courte vie; et s'il est encore difficile de le catégoriser, il reste encore d'actualité, soulève souvent des passions, ne laissant jamais indifférent. Peut-on parler d'un héritage camusien ? Que reste-t-il de son œuvre en Amérique ? Afin de ne pas oublier cet étranger si familier, pour le cinquantenaire de la mort de Camus, le Bureau du Doyen des Etudes Internationales et le Centre d'Etudes Européennes de l'Université du Wisconsin-Madison ont organisé du 22 au 24 avril 2010, un symposium Albert Camus, 50 ans après, autour des trois grands thèmes suivants: Camus et l'Algérie, Camus et l'exil, Camus et le public. Une quinzaine d'universitaires, de chercheurs, et de professeurs, d'Algérie, de France, du Canada et des Etats-Unis, étaient présents à ces journées dont nous publions les Actes dans cet ouvrage. L'objectif de ce second colloque était de créer un débat autour de Camus et de sa vision, souvent prophétique, relire ses écrits littéraires et politiques et voir dans quelle mesure son œuvre pacifiste, peut être une source d'inspiration dans les luttes pour la liberté et la démocratie, une alternative à la violence et à la terreur qui demeurent aujourd'hui encore, hélas très actuelles. Review «In honor of the fiftieth anniversary of Albert Camus's untimely death, this volume celebrates the unforgettable contributions and originality of the well-known writer. These superb essays examine his oeuvre, analyzing the diverse voices, complex cultural context, multiple interpretations resulting from translation, as well as themes including, but not limited to, freedom, violence, exile, political engagement, and the aesthetics of the absurd, offering thus a more complex cultural reading of the text. This volume represents a noteworthy contribution to francophone criticism as well as a significant engagement with a major writer, one who has indelibly marked both his generation and those that followed.» (E. Nicole Meyer, PhD, Professor of French, Humanistic Studies and Women's and Gender Studies Coordinator University of Wisconsin-Green Bay) «In the fifty years that have followed the death of Albert Camus, his legacy as one of Europe's most important intellectuals of the twentieth century has not diminished. Professor Alek Baylee Toumi has edited a significant collection of essays which examine the contemporary status of 'l'héritage camusien.' This volume of essays by established Camus scholars from Europe and North America also features the work of the newest generation of experts to analyze the creative and critical writings of Albert Camus. Speaking of his legacy, from the fifty years that mark his passing in 2010, to the centenary that will mark his birth in 1213, noted journalist Jean Daniel has said: '[...] today, the only question is about Camus', an observation that reminds us today that Camus's fiction and essays dealing with universal themes can still provide insight into the most pressing questions of the
