Navigating Global Economic and Financial Change

Sartre à Venise, une palinodie
L’attachement de Sartre à Venise est profond et durable, mais aussi mystérieux car tout chez Sartre paraît s’opposer à Venise. Sartre trouve à Venise la possibilité de changer radicalement de projet existentiel, d’être « un autre Sartre », d’écrire, à travers une utilisation fréquente de la métaphore, cette espèce de contre-Nausée qu’est La Reine Albemarle ou le dernier touriste, avant d’en sortir, et de revenir à son essai engagé sur Les communistes et la paix.
