Abstract EN

James Joyce had always been described by Marxist critics as an apolitical writer.

These critics claim that Joyce’s artworks express an absolute detachment from the socio-political issues of his time.

The present paper, however, operates a redefinition of the issue of commitment in literature, and presents a critical re-reading of his autobiographical A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) by relying on Roland Barthes’s aesthetic theory illustrated in Writing Degree Zero (1953).

In re-reading A Portrait through Barthes’ aesthetic approach, Joyce’s text demonstrates commitment through form opposing Sartre’s Marxist model based on meaning

Abstract FRE

James Joyce a toujours été considéré par les critiques littéraires marxistes comme étant un écrivain apolitique.

Ces critiques affirment que ses œuvres expriment un détachement absolu des problèmes sociopolitiques de son époque.

Cet article propose une analyse de Portrait de l'artiste en jeune homme (1916,) en nous appuyant sur la théorie esthétique de Roland Barthes, développée dans Le degré zéro de l’écriture (1953).

La recherche montre que le texte Portrait de l’artiste en jeune homme de Joyce est engagé à travers sa forme, mais aussi, il est en opposition avec le modèle marxiste de Sartre qui est basé sur le sens.
