'Internationalisation' is a key issue impacting on higher education today, but what is actually meant by this term and how does it relate to the notion of 'global citizenship', which also features prominently on the higher education agenda? How does the promotion of foreign language learning and intercultural communication help inform the pursuit of internationalisation? And, as the twenty-first century progresses, how are universities meeting the challenges of developing languages-based curricula that reflect the requirements of an increasingly global marketplace? This book brings together ten interconnected chapters from an international group of scholars who explore how language teaching and learning strategies and cross-cultural understanding support the cause of internationalisation in the modern higher education arena. The book will be of interest to both managers and practitioners who require an understanding of how the promotion of languages and intercultural knowledge informs the cause of internationalisation at strategic and operational levels within contemporary higher education.

In the first decade of a new century, this collection of bilingual essays examines Camus's continuing popularity for a new generation of readers. In crucial respects, the world Camus knew has changed beyond all recognition: decolonization, the fall of the Iron Curtain, a new era of globalization and the rise of new forms of terrorism have all provoked a reconsideration of Camus's writings. If the Absurd once struck a particular chord, Meursault is as likely now to be seen as a colonial figure who expresses the alienation of the settler from the land of his birth. Yet this increasing orthodoxy must also take account of the reasons why a new community of Algerian readers have embraced Camus. Equally, once isolated because of his anti-Communist stance, Camus has been taken up by disaffected members of the Left, convinced that new forms of totalitarianism are abroad in the world. This volume, which ranges from interpretations of Camus's literary works, his journalism and his political writings, will be of interest to all those seeking to re-evaluate Camus's work in the light of ethical and political issues that are of continuing relevance today.

Voici enfin une somme critique consacree aux multiples facettes de la relation entre Albert Camus et la scene de theatre. Reunissant des exegetes camusiens aussi bien que des theatrologues et des professionnels de la scene, elle embrasse une pluralite d'approches et de sensibilites. La premiere de ses quatre parties se concentre sur le repertoire dramatique de Camus : les pieces de son cru autant que ses adaptations sceniques de romans, ses traductions de pieces etrangeres et les creations collectives. La seconde partie considere le praticien qui a experimente tous les metiers de la scene, et la veine theorique qu'il developpe dans certains textes de reflexion. L'ensemble de cette premiere moitie du livre couvre ses nombreux accomplissements relies au theatre ; celui-ci apparait dans toute sa polymorphie comme une sphere d'activite permanente sur le parcours camusien. La suite du livre examine la fortune scenique remarquable non seulement du corpus dramatique mais aussi de recits camusiens : d'abord en France (c'est l'objet de la troisieme partie), puis a l'etranger (c'est l'objet de la quatrieme et derniere partie). D'une facon inusitee, en se penchant sur la vie theatrale contemporaine, elle met vigoureusement au jour l'actualite de l'oeuvre fictive de Camus a l'echelle occidentale.
