| Popis: | International audience; This essay examines the relations of domination and insubordination depicted in Albert Camus's La Peste (1947) through the metaphor of the stain. Drawing on work by Michel Foucault and Hannah Arendt, I analyse the exercise of authoritarian power through punitive tactics of marking and exclusion. In La Peste, a chronicle of the European struggle against Nazism, the stains of the plague serve as a motive for exclusion, and the fear of contagion justifies the isolation of those stigmatized. The preventative and coercive aims of these measures merge to produce a system comparable to the concentration camps. La Peste constitutes Camus's response to the historiographical narratives of the Resistance. In the author's terms, those fighting the plague choose responsibility for others rather than heroic deeds. |
