Abstract

This essay is a reflection on Albert Camus’s revival during the COVID-19 pandemic of the early 2020s. The popularity of Camus’s novel, The Plague, is considered alongside his other writing as something that speaks to many throughout their lives. Such appraisal is interspersed with personal reflections on family life during pandemic lockdowns and the ways that Camus’s thought resounds in our everyday selves. Written in two parts at different times – mainly in 2020 and with a 2023 afterthought – the essay critically acknowledges how Camus instructs us to live together with meaning and dignity in an age of catastrophe.

瘟疫般的空虚：国内理论的碎片

本文是对阿尔贝·加缪在20世纪20年代初新冠肺炎大流行期间的复兴的反思。加缪的小说《瘟疫》的受欢迎程度，与他的其他作品一样，被认为是对许多人一生的启示。这种评价穿插着对疫情封锁期间家庭生活的个人反思，以及加缪思想在我们日常生活中的回响。这篇文章分两部分写在不同的时间——主要是在2020年和2023年——批判性地承认了加缪是如何指导我们在一个灾难时代有意义和尊严地生活在一起的。

期刊介绍： Established in 1996 Thesis Eleven is a truly international and interdisciplinary peer reviewed journal. Innovative and authorative the journal encourages the development of social theory in the broadest sense by consistently producing articles, reviews and debate with a central focus on theories of society, culture, and politics and the understanding of modernity. The purpose of this journal is to encourage the development of social theory in the broadest sense. We view social theory as both multidisciplinary and plural, reaching across social sciences and liberal arts and cultivating a diversity of critical theories of modernity across both the German and French senses of critical theory.
