absurd, rebellion, critique of language, Albert CamusAbstract
The work of Albert Camus offers two fundamental concepts: absurd and rebellion. In the field of philosophy, the meaning of both words has been widely studied and debated. That's why this article intends to address them from a different perspective, posing that absurd as well as rebellion can be understood as verbal phenomena or experiencies. From this point of view, the article propounds a relation between Camus ideas and different authors whose works show a critical an experimental attitude towards language: Samuel Beckett, Alejandra Pizarnik, Oliverio Girondo, among others. The article's purpose is to identify and supports those connections, considering one essential question: ¿which are the consequences of experimenting and transforming language?The work of Albert Camus offers two fundamental concepts: absurd and rebellion.
