| dc.description.abstract | This research paper studies James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Kamel Daoud’s Meursault, Contre-enquête (2013). The purpose of this dissertation is to discuss the aspects of commitment of the two writers through their respective novels and therefore to establish a link between their ideas and positions through a comparative study. The main focus of this work is on the authors’ denunciation of religious oppression and domination in their home countries. Furthermore, this analysis will shed light upon some historical events that characterized Ireland and Algeria which evidently impacted the writers into the production of their works. To achieve this goal, this work will be based on Sartre’s theory of Commitment developed in his book What is Literature? (1948). Despite the differences between the two writers’ social, cultural and religious backgrounds there exist many similarities between them. Joyce and Daoud are both good examples of committed writers and their novels reflect the notion of literary commitment. | en |
