La présentation met en évidence les formes des lieux habités ainsi que les styles de vie, comme ils sont représentés dans le roman posthume d'Albert Camus Le Premier Homme. Le narrateur trace un parcours dans l'Alger de son enfance et de sa maturité. La présentation compare les perspectives de ce roman avec d'autres représentations dans l'oeuvre de Camus et avec des éléments architecturaux de l'espace algérois de l'époque 1913-1960. Le discours sur la ville, inscrit dans un moment distinctif de l'histoire personnelle de l'auteur et de l'Histoire du pays, articule le changement radical de la culture et des sociétés méditerranéennes et européennes de la moitié du XX. La réflexion permet de s'interroger sur le rapport entre modernité et colonie au moment de la conclusion des expériences coloniales européennes, c'est-à-dire de revenir aux racines du postcolonial au moment où le temps est venu pour passer à d'autres formes de lecture du contemporain.
The paper underlines the forms of inhabited places and the citizens' life styles as Albert Camus represents them in the posthumous novel Le Premier Homme. The plot traces a path in Algiers of his childhood and his maturity. The paper deals with a comparison with other representations in Camus' work and with real architectural structure of the 1913-1960 Alger. The city discourse falls under a peculiar moment of the author's private life and of the history of Algeria.
