This book was shortlisted for the R.H. Gapper prize 2011. On 8 February 1937 the 23-year-old Albert Camus gave an inaugural lecture for a new Maison de la culture, or community arts centre, in Algiers. Entitled -La nouvelle culture méditerranéenne- (-The New Mediterranean Culture-), Camus-s lecture has been interpreted in radically different ways: while some critics have dismissed it as an incoherent piece of juvenilia, others see it as key to understanding his future development as a thinker, whether as the first expression of his so-called -Mediterranean humanism- or as an early indication of what is seen as his essentially colonial mentality. These various interpretations are based on reading the text of -The New Mediterranean Culture- in a single context, whether that of Camus-s life and work as a whole, of French discourses on the Mediterranean or of colonial Algeria (and French discourses on that country). By contrast, this study argues that Camus-s lecture - and in principle any historical text - needs to be seen in a multiplicity of contexts, discursive and otherwise, if readers are to understand properly what its author was doing in writing it. Using Camus-s lecture as a case study, the book provides a detailed theoretical and practical justification of this -multi-contextualist- approach.
