Recepce filozofie existencialismu v románu Bābā Sartre

Bukovinská, Tatiana

This bachelor's thesis examines the contemporary Iraqi writer ʿAlī Badr's satirical novel Papa Sartre (Bābā Sartr, 2001) and uses it as a vehicle to explore the reception of existentialism in the Arab world. The protagonist, ʿAbd ar-Raḥmān, passes himself off as an existentialist par excellence, but his shallow understanding of philosophy is disclosed as the plot progresses. After a brief historical and theoretical introduction, the thesis introduces the novel and then analyzes the techniques the author uses both to create a realistic impression and to ridicule the entire generation of Iraqi intellectuals of the 1960s. The novel's satire is formed through the mockery of the reception of the main themes of existentialism (nausea, alienation, freedom). As a key to understanding the satirical depiction of the philosophy, this thesis observes the changes between the original existentialist themes and the mocked outcome. Key Words Existentialism - Iraq - Jean-Paul Sartre - Bābā Sārtr - 1960s
