Isten és ember, tömérdek sorscsapás. Samuel Beckett
“God and Man, So Many Disasters”: Samuel Beckett

Summary/Abstract: The present essay surveys the development of Beckett studies since the archival turn and the gaining ground of posthumanistic readings and readings of finitude. It draws attention to the historically and politically overdetermined referents in Beckett’s postwar texts, to a hinterland of politically charged writing and activities present from the beginning of Beckett’s career, and to the way in which his texts thematize the occultation of the Shoah, but also, of the Algerian war in French public life.
