La transgression générique dans La Chute d’Albert Camus Generic Transgression in La Chute of Albert Camus
Main Article Content
Abstract
ABSTRACT: The Camusian work is a plural work, which embraces several genres: the novel, the essay, the theater, the press. This generic plurality is palpable even within each text. Different genres intersect and intertwine in each of his books. In The Fall, for example, at least two genres can be identified: the novel and the essay. Behind the narration of the story of Clamence that is told to him, the reader can easily identify a philosophical reflection on themes very present in Camusian thought: judgment, guilt, death. It is this entanglement between essayistics and literature, not sufficiently studied in Camus, that we will analyze here. We will therefore study the mechanism of the insertion of philosophical thought into Camus' novel writing.
RÉSUMÉ: L’oeuvre camusienne est une oeuvre plurielle, qui embrasse plusieurs genres : le roman, l’essai, le théâtre, la presse. Cette pluralité générique est palpable même à l’intérieur de chaque texte. Différents genres se croisent et s’entremêlent dans chacun de ses livres. Dans La Chute par exemple, au moins deux genres sont repérables : le roman et l’essai. Derrière la narration de l’histoire de Clamence qui lui est racontée, le lecteur peut aisément identifier une réflexion philosophique sur des thèmes très présents dans la pensée camusienne : le jugement, la culpabilité, la mort. C’est cet enchevêtrement entre l’essayistique et le littéraire, pas suffisamment étudié chez Camus, que nous analyserons ici. Nous étudierons donc le mécanisme de l’insertion de la pensée philosophique dans l’écriture romanesque chez Camus.
