La crise d’amitié à deux voix: Nathalie Sarraute et Yasmina Reza
2017
The consideration of the friendship crisis occurring between adult men is based on two contemporary French plays: Pour un oui ou pour un non by Nathalie Sarraute (1982) and Art by Yasmina Reza (1994). In both cases, the reason for breaking off the friendly relation was a spontaneous reaction of one friend who judged, hurt and humiliated the other. This proved the first persons will to dominate the other and to subordinate him. All attempts of negotiation failed. The two plays’ texts have been com pared with the ideas of sociologists and philosophers describing hum an relations in the contemporary world, such as Zygmunt Bauman, Edgar Morin and Pierre Bourdieu.
