Item Kamel Daoud’s Meursault Contre-enquête(Faculté des Langues Etrangères. Université d'Alger 2 Abu Al-Qasim Saadallah, 2019-09-30) Tegaoua, KenzaThe present paper deals with the juxtaposition between Colonial and Post-Colonial writings, with a focus on the latter as a response to the former. More precisely, it analyzes Kamel Daoud’s reply to Albert Camus’ L’Etranger, in his Meursault Contre-Enquête. The method used consists of different parts. The paper overviews the core of Colonialism, that is, Colonial Discourse as presented by Edward Said. The research defines Post-Colonial Studies that come as a reaction to the Colonial Discourse. Finally, the study is limited to one specific field presented by the scholar Helen Tiffin who suggests the Canonical Counter-Discourse as a technique used by several Post-Colonial writers to counter-attack the Colonial Discourse. On the basis of her theory, the current paper aims at discerning Daoud’s Counter-Discourse from his alliance to the Colonial one in his novel. Seeking to deepen the study, the paper compares Daoud’s text to other Post-Colonial responses to European Canons, namely Aimé Césaire’s Une Tempête, and J.M. Coetzee’s Foe. By the end, the result of the comparison reveals Daoud’s weakness and leniency in his Counter-Discourse: a considerable duality and ambiguity, for he simultaneously denounces and imitates Camus’ text.Item Eugene O’neill’s The Hairy Ape And Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway(Faculté des Langues Etrangères. Université d'Alger 2 Abu Al-Qasim Saadallah, 2023-12-31) Tegaoua, KenzaThe present paper deals with the pathos of communication in the 20th Century literature; more precisely, how language is no more fulfilling its role as a means of communication which leads to the collapse of verbal communication in favor of silence. Relying on Winston Weathers‟ study “Communications and Tragedy in Eugene O‟Neill,” the research attempts to extract the failure of communication by conducting a comparative study between the American author Eugene O‟Neill and his play The Hairy Ape(1922)and the English writer Virginia Woolf with her novel Mrs. Dalloway(1925). The final results of this study assert skepticism towards words and consolidate the failure of verbal communication in favor of a new means of communication: silence which is pushed to its most extreme form (death).
