Camus à l'épreuve de La Peste ou La transcendance de l'appel Avant d'écrire son chef d’œuvre, La Peste, Camus a ces mots dans Le Mythe de Sisyphe : "Savoir si l'on peut vivre sans appel, c'est tout ce qui m'intéresse. " Il semble qu'avec La Peste, la réflexion de Camus se soit affinée, qu'il ait découvert qu'il y a "plus absurde" que l'Absurde. C'est dans ce tragique théâtre de l'épidémie que Camus construit avec une élégance maîtrisée un spectacle, son roman : il nous importe de voir comment le romancier appelle ses personnages à tenir leur place. Apparaît finalement un système des noms qui met en évidence le héros de la tragédie. Ce sera donc avant tout dans le jeu de la nomination, des appellations des personnages que nous tenterons de saisir, d'attraper la conscience de l'auteur : entendez les valeurs morales qu'il met en débat. Bernard Spee est philosophe de formation. Il a enseigné la littérature et l'histoire dans les classes terminales au Collège Saint-Hadelin à Visé (Belgique). Soucieux d'une approche systémique des textes et des œuvres, il est l’auteur de nombreux articles d’analyse sur Hergé mais aussi sur Molière, Simenon, Rodenbach sans oublier la peinture de René Magritte. Il est également l'auteur de plusieurs articles de pédagogie.

This book continues the story about education and the absurd. Its specific focus is on the work of Albert Camus. It tries to summarise the ways in which his writing has already inspired and influenced educational thinking and practice, and it offers a new set of educational interpretations of six of his major works. These set out the exciting challenge about how we might think about the purposes and practices of education in the future, how to talk about these, plan and deliver. Using the work of Albert Camus in this way is an attempt to bring him and his ideas closer to educational discussions. This is a deliberate attempt to show the synergy between some of his major concepts and those that are already cornerstones of educational discourses. Read from an educational perspective the work of Albert Camus also provides guidance and invigorates the imagination as to how education can respond to those increasingly complex, existential crises it finds itself connected to. For educational people interested in these questions this book will hopefully motivate a re-reading of Camus and a brave, new lens on practice.

This creative yet scholarly book discusses prose's important relationship to close literary analysis, showing how such an approach can be beneficial for readers, scholars, and writers alike. Bringing together a literary history that consists of writers such as Lermontov, Chekhov, Camus, and Calvino, Mark Axelrod masterfully interweaves discussions of structure, context, genre, plot, and other key elements often applied to poetry but seldom applied to various forms of prose in order to offer bold and surprisingly fresh claims about the writer's purpose. By peeling back these layers of technique and style, this book opens up discussions to better understand and appreciate great dramatists, writers, and poets throughout time by returning back to the core elements that originally comprised their writing crafts. Mark Axelrod is a Professor of Comparative Literature at Chapman University, USA.
