| Résumé anglais | Change the Century, Antoine Prost. Unlike specific commitments born out of a particular cause to defend, the 20th century saw the emergence of commitment in the singular. This engagement characterized a relationship to the world and history in progress, a way of defining the human condition by its historicity.Thus committed writers, a literature and a cinema came into being. This com- mitment for which existentialism provided the theoretical underpinning at the Liberation and that culminated with the Communist Party's engagement was gradually worked out during the period between the two wars, by the intellectuals attracted by the Communist Party requiring from them a disciplined and global membership, but also by Catholic action movements and personalism whose role should be stressed. It was dissolved in the last third of the century with the rise of contemporary individualism and the denunciation of power at work in any militant organization. | |
