"'An impressively complete survey of the play in its cultural, theatrical, historical and political contexts.' - David Bradby, co-editor of Contemporary Theatre Review. Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot is not only an indisputably important and influential dramatic text -it is also one of the most significant western cultural landmarks of the twentieth century. Originally written in French, the play first amazed and appalled Parisian theatre-goers and critics before receiving a harshly dismissive initial critical response in Britain in 1955. Its influence since then on the international stage has been significant, impacting on generations of actors, directors and audiences."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Si on pouvait rêver du vide, le rêve beckettien serait celui d’un monde sans mémoire, ni désir, un monde sans autrui – un monde évacué, sans littérature, ni mots, ni pensée. Sans lecteur. Un texte sans lecteur ou une scène sans acteurs. Soucieux de nuancer et d’équilibrer l’équation entre théorie et texte, symptôme et écriture, l’auteur montre que c’est Beckett qui nous invite à interroger, par le jeu et la pensée, son imagination et son écriture, si riches en matière négative. L’auteur fait pour la première fois le lien entre les concepts psychanalytiques abordés dans cette étude – le vide, le jeu, la pensée – et les concepts opératoires de la critique post-structuraliste : écriture, différance, espacement, altérité.
