(syllabus)
Engagement: Engagement in 20th century French literature, from Sartre's Nausée to Camus' Plague. The course will address the function that the French novel was able to assume as an instrument of awakening ethical and civic consciousness in the dramatic historical landscape of the first half of the 20th century. In particular, the two masterpieces by Sartre and Camus will be analysed, focusing the figure of a fictional hero who matures the awareness of having to take responsibility, especially political responsibility, for his own becoming, and that of the society in which he is called to live.
