Marguerite Duras et la pensée contemporaine. Actes du colloque des 10-12 mai 2007. La Faculté des Lettres. Université de Göteborg. Suède

• These papers were originally presented at the international conference “Marguerite Duras and Contemporary Thought” that took place at the University of Gothenburg (Sweden) on May 10–12, 2007. The inaugural lecture entitled “Marx, c’est fini!”, given by Madeleine Borgomano, offers a panoramic view of the subject. Borgomano describes Duras’s commitment to the French Communist Party (1944–1950) as complete but temporary. It ended in a cruel disappointment, after which the writer came to embrace a philosophy of refusal reminiscent of Marcuse’s position. Borgomano also comments on the fascination Duras’s work has had on great many contemporary psychoanalysts, and she concludes her study by emphasizing the fundamentally deconstructive nature of Duras’s thought. The presentations that follow are divided into the following sections : Duras and the Masters of Postmodern Thought (papers on Duras and Maurice Blanchot, Roland Barthes, Jacques Derrida, Emmanuel Levinas, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, René Girard, Giorgio Agamben, Georges Bataille, and Theodor W. Adorno); Duras and Psychoanalysis (papers on Jacques Lacan and Julia Kristeva); Duras and Feminism (papers analysing Duras’s attitude towards feminism, as well as the feminist reception of Duras’s work); Duras and Communism (a paper on Duras and Elio Vittorini): Duras: Cognition, Virtuality, Language; and finally a section on various aspects of Duras’s relationship to postmodern thought, including papers on Duras and Eastern Thought, Duras and Music, and Duras and Cinema (papers on the film projects of Eric Vigner and Olivier Bardin, on Le Camion, and on the relationship between Duras and Guy Debord).
