 « This work is a study of the various representations of the Algerian war in French theater from the late 1950's to the early 1990's. The playwrights discussed in this work range from well-known, canonical authors, such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Jean Genet and Bernard-Marie Koltès, to lesser-known, contemporary writers such as Eugène Durif, and Yves Laplace. The study begins with an overview of the assigned place of the Algerian war within the context of French Cultural history. There is a particular focus on the cloak of silence that has customarily surrounded the war, and how this has worked to forestall inquiry and discussion of the extent and nature of the war and its aftermath. This is accompanied by an examination of the familiar tropes, discursive commonalities, and metaphors that have been deployed with regard to the Algerian war, and have at times seemed as much a part of the Algerian war, as the actual events themselves. Next there is an analysis of the various ways in which each playwright engages with the war, and the strategies that have been used in its treatment. Significantly, each regards the Algerian war as a foundational moment in French subjectivity and therefore attempts to insert it into his own historical present. Sartre, whose //Les sequestrés d'Altona//is examined here, explored the devastating effects of the use of torture, not only upon the tortured, but upon the torturers themselves. Genet's //Les paravents//remains one of the most trenchant critiques of Colonialism to appear on any stage, French or otherwise, as it explores the system of abjectification upon which the colonial project necessarily rested. Koltès'  //Le retour au desert//is a meditation upon origins, return and their impossibility, grounded within the context of a French provincial family as it is coming to grips with the violence of the war. Laplace and Durif both portray the war as an event that has shaped contemporary attitudes pertaining to immigration, integration, and Maghrebians in general. » « This work is a study of the various representations of the Algerian war in French theater from the late 1950's to the early 1990's.
