Litt?rature Arabe Moderne: Gen?se Et Probl?matiques

Cet ouvrage analyse la gen?se de la notion d'adab, quelques grandes oeuvres fondatrices depuis le milieu du 19 si?cle, la constitution des grands genres ? partir des grands mod?les classiques mis au contact de la litt?rature occidentale. Il traite ?galement de la fonction d?volue ? la litt?rature dans la compr?hension du sens de la vie. Il insiste particuli?rement sur l'engagement de la litt?rature dans l'identification des principaux obstacles ? la modernisation des structures sociales, politiques et culturelles, ? la d?mocratie, au rapport individu/collectif. Il met en lumi?re certains grands combats: pour l'ind?pendance l'alt?rit?, l'universalisme et la cr?ativit?. Cet ouvrage traite la culture arabe comme totalit?, sans privil?gier un pays ou, comme c'est l'habitude, le crit?re religieux, ? savoir l'islam.

This work analyses the emergence of the notion of adab, some major foundational works from the mid-19th century onwards, and the formation of major genres based on the cross-fertilisation of the iconic classical models and Western literature. It also deals with the function assigned to literature in understanding the meaning of life. The volume particularly emphasizes the commitment of literature to the identification of the main obstacles to the modernization of social, political and cultural structures, democracy, and the individual/collective relationship. It highlights certain major struggles: for independence, otherness, universalism and creativity. This work has a holistic approach to Arab culture, without favouring a country or, as is usual, the religious criterion, namely Islam.
