Sartre

Abstract

While the imminent Pléiade edition of Sartre's literary writings promises to attract fresh interest in many of his texts so far unpublished, Sartre's known oeuvre has continued to produce a steady flow of commentaries. In an article commemorating the first anniversary of Sartre's death, Michel Contat has logged a year rich in colloquia, books and artistic events honoring Sartre in all French-speaking countries as well as Germany, Portugal, England, and the United States. What most recent tributes share is a heightened urgency for capturing the global sensibility at the heart of each Sartrean enterprise, regardless of particularities in his choice of context or genre.
