| description | This article aims to highlight the relationship between the study of
the genesis of the texts and the theory of deterministic chaos in In Search of Lost Time of Proust. It shows that the meaning conveyed by studies on the manuscript depends on the laying out of the new form of the novel tense between the novel and the essay. The first part outlines how the essay-novel changed since 1908-1909 when Proust had filled only a few notebooks without
obvious links which each other; in 1910 the essay-novel is divided between Swann, Guermantes and Time Regained. The last version, totally unpredictable in the beginning, would have 7 instead of 3 volumes after the first World War between 1914-1918. The second part reports extracts that prove the thesis of changing shapes from the citation of Time Regained: ”An hour is not
just an hour: a vase filled with perfumes, sounds, projects and Climates. What we call reality is a certain relationship between these sensations and memories that involve us simultaneously [...]. – a unique relationship that the writer must find to unite the two different terms in his sentence”. |
