- Description
- Twenty-five years after his death, critics and academics, filmmakers and journalists continue to argue over Sartre 's legacy. But certain interpretations have congealed around his iconic text Nausea, tending to confine it within the framework provided by the later philosophical text, Being and Nothingness. In this opening chapter we seek to problematise interpretations of the novel that benefit from hindsight, to open up the text to a range of new approaches, in order to avoid too narrow a categorisation of the text. In the interest of broadening the appeal of Nausea we have collected together in this volume authors whose approaches to the text spring from four principal areas: French Studies, Philosophy, English and Comparative Literature. All four discipline areas have their own contribution to make in terms of the written text (the textual strategies at work within the novel), its context (be it literary, cultural or philosophical) and the intertextual web within which it is situated, and this chapter offers an oven1iew of the contributions of this volume to these three topics.
