Caillois, Roger
Born: March 3, 1913, Reims
[Died] December 21, 1978. Paris. French critic and sociologist. After graduating from the École Normale Supérieure (Higher Normal School), he organized the "Social Science Research Society" with G. Bataille, Klossowski and others and began his critical career. While he focused on literature and aesthetics, his field of activity was extremely wide, including the publication of works on theology. In literary criticism, he based his writings on classicism and humanism, and sharply questioned the responsibility of literature. He is also known for editing the magazine Diogène and compiling the series Croix du Sud, which introduced Latin American literature. He is also known for his reevaluation of fantasy literature. His major works include Le Mythe et l'homme (1938), L'Homme et le sacré (Man and the Sacred) (39), Babel (48), Poétique de Saint-John Perse (54), and Les Jeux et les hommes (Play and Men) (57). He was a member of the Académie Française (71).
