Upon a thorough investigation, it has been determined that a significant portion of “Le simulacra inaugural: Micro-lecture camusienne,” written by Richard-Laurent Barnett, published in Symposium 53.2 (1999): 59–68, has been reproduced from the following:

Cornille, Jean–Louis. “Blanc, semblant et vraisemblance: Sur l’incipit de L’Etranger.” Littérature 23 (Oct. 1976): 49–55.

As a result, the article published in Symposium has been retracted and should not be cited in the electronic or print version of the Journal. The Editor of Symposium and Routledge, Taylor & Francis, publisher of Symposium, welcome this opportunity to restore the copyright of Jean–Louis Cornille and Armand Colin, publisher of Littérature.

The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as RETRACTED.
