Jean-Paul Sartre, entre Richard Wright et Mathieu Delarue
View through CrossRef
Dans Qu’est-ce que la littérature?, Jean-Paul Sartre pourfend Julien Benda; il prend violemment à partie l’écrivain français, catalogué comme « l’écrivain le plus bourgeois du monde ». Le romancier américain en général et Richard Wright en particulier apparaissent, de leur côté, comme des prolétaires et des exploités qui ont un jour décidé de prendre la plume. Ils sont du coup érigés en modèles par excellence d’un héroïsme paradoxal du « n’importe qui ». Dès lors, comment expliquer que les hommes de lettres mis en scène par le philosophe existentialiste dans ses œuvres de fiction ne parviennent jamais à délaisser leur position d’intellectuels bourgeois afin de devenir « n’importe qui »? C’est en confrontant ces deux aspects apparemment contradictoires de l’œuvre sartrienne qu’on tentera de déterminer dans quelle mesure elle promeut ou non l’héroïsme de l’homme de lettres.AbstractIn Qu’est-ce que la littérature?, Jean-Paul Sartre lambasts Julien Benda; he takes violently position against the french writer, labeled « the world wide most bourgeois writer ».
