Fallet Meursault och Främlingen -En jämförande analys av Kamel Daouds Fallet Meursault ochAlbert Camus FrämlingenNilsson, Jonas January 2019 (has links)
Uppsatsen jämför Kamel Daouds Fallet Meursault och Albert Camus Främlingen ur de tre perspektiven berättarteknik, postkolonialt tänkande och livsåskådning. Syftet med jämförelsen är att se vilka likheter och skillnader som finns mellan verken, och då i första hand hur Fallet Meursault förhåller sig till Främlingen. Uppsatsen utgår från en komparativ metod utefter de aspekter som anges i syftet. Resultatet visar att Daouds Fallet Meursault i hög grad anspelar på CamusFrämlingen och kan ur ett postkolonialt perspektiv beskrivas som en form av writing back samtidigt som Daoud livsåskådningsmässigt kommer att ligga mycket nära Camus.

A literature of modern suffering : suffering in the work of Feodor Dostoevsky, Albert Camus and Milan KunderaPowell, Elisabeth, University of Western Sydney, College of Arts, School of Humanities and Languages January 2007 (has links)
This thesis examines the treatment of the theme of suffering by three modern authors: Feodor Dostoevsky, Albert Camus, and Milan Kundera. The analysis proceeds through the identification and examination of three primary concepts which I will argue are at the heart of their work, and which provide the conceptual foundations for their depictions of suffering: the wretched, the absurd, and the banal. These concepts will be used as an avenue through which to explore and articulate their treatment of suffering. It will be argued further that the work of these three authors forms a conceptual series, in that each contributes in an important way to the evolution of a modern secular way of thinking about suffering by producing portraits of suffering informed by concepts appropriate to specific moments in the modern era. The sense of wretchedness which emerges from Dostoevsky’s work is inextricably linked with the late nineteenth-century crisis-of-faith. The concept of the absurd ties Camus to the early-twentieth-century existentialist tradition, while the sense of banality in Kundera’s novels locates him in an era which has witnessed both the horrors of World War Two and the decline in the humanist tradition. The factor that unites them and gives order to their differences, however, is a common concern with questions of meaning. The loss of meaning in the modern era, and in particular the loss of meaning in relation to suffering, is a thread which develops progressively throughout the series. It is, as will be argued at the outset, what binds these three disparate authors together and what gives their work and their treatment of suffering a particular modern character. / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The Intolerableness of All Earthly Effort : of Futility and Ahab as the Absurd Hero in Melville's Moby DickMittermaier, Sten January 2008 (has links)
<p>In 1942, Algerian writer Albert Camus published a philosophical essay called The Myth of Sisyphus along with a fictional counterpart, The Stranger, wherein he presumed the human condition to be an absurd one. This, Camus claimed, was the result of the absence of a god, and consequently of any meaning beyond life itself. Without a god, without an entity greater than man, man has no higher purpose than himself and he himself is inevitably transient. As such, man, so long as he lives, is cursed with the inability to create or partake in anything lasting. The absurd is life without a tomorrow, a life of futility. As one of the main precursors of this view of life and of the human experience, Camus mentioned Herman Melville and Captain Ahab’s chase for the white whale - Moby Dick.</p><p>Now, as will be indicated in the following, the most common critical position holds that the white whale of Moby-Dick, Melville’s magnum opus, is to be interpreted as a symbol of God, and thus Ahab’s chase is tragic by virtue of its impossibility for success. As such, the tragedy is entailed by the futility vis-à-vis its impermanence. However, the ambiguity of Moby-Dick allows for the possibility of several alternative interpretations as to the role of the whale: for instance that of the devil, evil incarnate or merely a "dumb brute". As such, Ahab’s quest might as well be the pursuit of a creature which understands nothing of vengeance, thus rendering his objective equally, if not more fruitless, than the pursuit of a god.</p>

La conscience de l'action : l'engagement d'Albert Camus et de George OrwellGuindon, Philippe January 2007 (has links) (PDF)
Dans une perspective de l'histoire intellectuelle, notre étude traite, par une approche comparative, de l'engagement des écrivains Albert Camus (1913-1960) et George Orwell (1903-1950). Notre recherche vise à mettre l'accent sur la notion de responsabilité dans l'engagement des deux auteurs. Cette dimension, qui est perceptible dans tous les combats dont George Orwell et Albert Camus ont pris part dans la première moitié du 20e siècle, est perçue par nous comme une caractéristique qui ne fut pas partagée par beaucoup d'intellectuels en Europe à la même époque. En situant le parcours des deux auteurs dans le contexte historique de la période européenne s'étalant de l'entre-deux-guerre au début de la guerre froide, nous démontrerons que la pensée et le parcours engagé de Camus et d'Orwell comportent de nombreuses similitudes. Par l'analyse de leurs écrits, essais, articles de journaux et correspondances, qui s'avèrent des témoignages directs de la guerre civile espagnole, de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale ainsi que du début de la guerre froide, notre étude a pour objectif d'établir la concordance de leur engagement. Nous allons également vérifier que leur engagement était de nature socialiste et qu'il se distinguait de la majorité de ceux de leurs contemporains par son caractère antistaliniste. En procédant tout d'abord à l'analyse de leur influence ainsi que de leur expérience respective, nous allons examiner d'une façon théorique leur écrit ainsi que leur critique des idéologies radicales tels l'impérialisme, le fascisme, le nazisme et le stalinisme. Cette approche nous permettra de faire ressortir les valeurs pour lesquelles Camus et Orwell ont combattu tout au long de leur vie. Ces valeurs sont le combat pour la vérité, la lutte pour la sauvegarde de la liberté et la recherche d'une solution socialiste démocratique et non dogmatique. Bien que de nationalité et de culture différente (Camus étant Français et Orwell Britannique), le témoignage engagé et socialiste des deux auteurs est une courageuse démonstration de la survie d'une conscience indépendante et responsable au moment où l'Europe succombe à une « intoxication » idéologique sans précédent. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Deuxième Guerre mondiale, Engagement, Europe, Idéologie, Socialisme, Totalitarisme, 20e siècle.

Stig Dagerman - Existentialisten : En jämförande studie mellan De Dömdas Ö och fem existentialistiska tänkare / Stig Dagerman – the existentialist? : - Island of the Doomed in the light of five existentialist thinkersCarlemar, Jonathan January 2011 (has links)
Is the Swedish author Stig Dagerman an existentialist? This work takes a close look at Dagerman’s novel Island of the Doomed to see if it is possible to consider it an expression of existentialist thinking and to see if it interacts with any specific existentialist tradition. Dagerman’s novel was compared with select works of five existentialist thinkers – Søren Kierkegaard, Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus and Karl Jaspers, all read in the light of the four categories of existentialistic thinking identified by the Swedish scholar Lennart Koskinen. All the four categories appeared to be central themes within the novel and a few subcategories were identified. An analysis based on these subcategories showed that the novel had obvious similarities with all of the five existentialistic thinkers. The main conclusion of my work is thus: it is reasonable to consider Stig Dagerman’s novel Island of the Doomed an expression of existentialist thinking, but it doesn’t match any specific existentialist tradition. Dagerman is therefore to be considered an independent existentialist.
