Abstract
This research paper is a discussion of commitment in the case of James Joyce and Lounes Matoub. In the light of Sartre’s commitment theory and Greenblatt’s New Historicism we target to reflect the writers’ attitudes in their respective autobiographical novels, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Rebelle. The purpose of this study is to explore the main ideas developed by James Joyce to show his attitude of Irish political,religious domination and identity notion . Besides, we will analyse Matoub’s position towards the political policies applied in Algeria, the spread of Islamism and the denial of Algerian cultural diversity. The aim is to compare both authors’ contexts, attitudes towards religion and politics in the Sarterian standpoint. The presentation would be also fulfilled in reference to the different impacting events that Ireland and Algeria knew during the production of the two autobiographies A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Rebelle.
