| FRENCH (W25) | 120 FEAR AND LOATHING | BEY-ROZET, M. |

| FRENCH (W25) | 150 THE ABSURD | LITWIN, C. |
| FRE 150/CL 150 We call absurd a system in which the inferences we draw from a certain set of premises contradict those very premises. Yet, what would happen if human existence was itself part of such a system? How would the life and the condition of humans be any different from the one we experience? In post-WW2 France these questions became so central in art, literature and philosophy, that the substantive “the absurd” was invented to refer to the works of a heterogeneous set of writers which featured among others Samuel Beckett, Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Eugène Ionesco. Indeed, they did not and could not rally around a cause that was not one, and therefore they did not form a movement. Yet they did take part in a diverse philosophical, literary and aesthetic moment, which was marked by the traumatic experience of the two world wars and characterized by a profound sense of collapse of all the metaphysical foundations of the European continent's self-defining ideals of religion, culture, civilization and historical progress. They shared a somewhat common experience of impossible metaphysical reconciliation between the brutish factuality of existence and the human desire for meaning — a common experience of the inherent absurdity and irremediable sense of alienation of the human condition. This course sets out to explore how this metaphysical experience of the absurd resulted paradoxically in one of the most creative periods in artistic and literary forms. While we will focus primarily on essays and plays by the afore-mentioned writers, we will also discuss the modern European philosophical background of these works and their relations with influential precursors such as Dostoevsky, Kafka and the Surrealists. The course is taught in English. | ||
