Pesquisa de teoria literária sobre o romance Em busca do tempo perdido, de Marcel Proust. Tem como objetivo refletir sobre a unidade do romance Em busca do tempo perdido, por meio de uma análise da personagem de Charles Swann. Este trabalho principia pelo levantamento do projeto global do ciclo romanesco, a partir de um trecho d´A Prisioneira em que o narrador-protagonista estabelece dois tipos de unidade para a obra de arte: uma lógica e outra vital. O segundo capítulo expõe as dificuldades que esse projeto coloca: como criar uma obra artística que seja viva e aberta, ao mesmo tempo que coesa e íntegra? A resposta é encontrada nos vasos comunicantes, nas transversalidades capazes de dar ao ciclo romanesco, não uma unidade lógica, mas vital. O terceiro capítulo analisa um dos nós, um dos pontos para o qual convergem essas transversalidades: a personagem de Charles Swann. Por meio da reconstituição desta personagem, são discutidos aqui alguns temas importantes para o romance: a formação do artista, assim como a relação entre a arte e a vida. Vemos em seguida que, em contraponto a Swann, cuja trajetória é vista como uma vocação artística frustrada, a expressão do romance proustiano busca condensar as experiências de um indivíduo para se tornar escritor. Finalmente, o excerto reflete sobre o caráter realista do romance: tendo por base um ensaio de Antonio Candido, \"Realismo (via Marcel Proust)\", e levando em conta um acontecimento-chave para o escritor francês, analisamos aqui o papel desempenhado pelo caso Dreyfus na narrativa. A hipótese mais geral desta pesquisa é a de que certos temas, representados pela personagem do diletante Charles Swann e por seu engajamento no caso Dreyfus, tornam difícil o acabamento do romance e lhe dão uma forma crítica, polêmica, viva. Esta não retira sua unidade da perspectiva de um artista profissional, cujo ofício participa da divisão do trabalho e do conhecimento de nossa sociedade; mas vincula-se à percepção de um diletante, cujo ponto de vista conserva algo de maravilhoso e mágico para as criações artísticas, como se a arte oferecesse mais do que obras e fosse capaz de ensinar a ler a vida. Lembramos neste sentido que a narrativa proustiana, desde seu começo até seu final, acompanha o ponto de vista não de um artista formado, mas de um apaixonado pelo universo artístico: o protagonista que deseja criar uma obra de arte e a imagina capaz de organizar a vida à imagem de sua complexidade. / A literary theory research on Marcel Proust´s novel In Search of Lost Time. The objective is to discuss the unity of Proust´s novel through an analysis of Charles Swann´s character. The first chapter of this work is a survey of the novel\'s global project, taking a passage of The Captive as a starting point, where the novel\'s narrator identifies two kinds of unity for the work of art, a logical one and a vital one. We remind then some difficulties that this project brings along with it: how can we create a work of art which is open and live, as well as coherent and complete? The answer is found in the communicant vases, in the transversalities able to provide the novel with a vital unity, not a logical one. In the third chapter, we analyse one of the points into which these transversalities converge: Charles Swann´s character. By a reconstitution of this character, we discuss certain important motifs of Proust´s novel: the education of the artist, as well as the relationship between art and life. In comparison with Swann, who represents a frustrated artist, we recognize that Proust´s literary expression seeks to condense someone\'s experiences to become a writer in the actual society. Finally, in the last part, we study the realistic aspects of the novel, based on Candido´s essay, \"Realism (according to Proust)\", and, taking into account an important political experience for the writer, we review the role of Dreyfus\'s Affair in the narrative. The general hypothesis of this research is that some themes, represented by Charles Swann´s diletantisme and his political engagement at the Affair, make it difficult to finish the novel and also give it a critical, polemical and live form. This form does not take its unity from a professional artist´s perspective, which participates in the division of the work and knowledge of our society, but from the dilettante condition, which point of view preserves something magical and wonderful for the artistic creations, as if art could give more than artworks and teach to read life. In this sense, we remind that Proust´s novel follows the point of view of a passionate for arts rather than a professional writer: the hero who wants to create a work of art and who believes it capable to organize the world at its complexity.

NO ROMANCE DE MARCEL PROUST Em busca do tempo perdidodesfilam ante os olhos do leitorum compêndio de seres enigmáticos, fragmentários, que oferecem em si, ao longo da obra, uma gama de novas imagens e possibilidades. Desse complexo conjunto de seres imprevisíveis, há um caso particular de uma personagem secundária. Figuraaparentemente dentro da narrativa como um ser anedótico, apenas para compor um ambiente cômico, pueril dentro de Combray, a cidadezinha prosaica de infância do herói do romance: a tia Léonie. O objetivo do trabalho que apresentamos não é somente analisar esse ser aparentemente risório, a eterna doente de Combray. Sobretudo, pretende-se mostrar dentro dopróprio romance proustiano que Léonie, como os tantos personagens desse trajeto rumo à descoberta da verdadeira vocação do herói, também colocará sua pequena pedra na composição monumental da obra por vir, pois, ao seu modo, também contribuirá para a composição daquele que renunciará à vida, se reservando apenas o essencial, para compor seu romance. / IN THE NOVEL OF MARCEL PROUST\'S \"In Search of Lost Time\", parade before the reader\'s eyes, a compendium of enigmatic, fragmentary beings, offering itself, throughout the work, a range of new images and possibilities. In this complex set of unpredictable beings, there is a particular case of a secondary character, apparently figuring in the narrative as being anecdotal, just to make a comic, childlike environment in Combray, the prosaic town of the novel heros childhood: Aunt Léonie. The objective of the present work is not only to analyze this seemingly be risorius, \"the eternal sick of Combray.\" Above all, it presents in the Proustian novel itself that Léonie, as so many characters that path towards the discovery of the true vocation of the hero, also put your little stone in monumental composition of the work to come, for, in his own way, also contribute for the composition that he would resign to life, reserve to itself only the essentials, in order to compose his novel.

La série adjectivale est une structure bien connue des lecteurs de Proust. La Recherche comprend plus de trois mille séries adjectivales ; elles combinent deux, trois, jusqu’à dix-sept adjectifs. Les variations sémantiques et syntaxiques sont nombreuses entre les séries. Devons-nous parler de série adjectivale ou de séries, au pluriel ? Quel point commun ont toutes ces séries entre elles ? Peut-on dire que la série adjectivale est une figure de style ?Notre but sera de montrer comment s’articulent ces deux phénomènes stylistiques qui font de la série adjectivale une microstructure complexe : l’effet artiste et le fait de vision. Notre thèse consiste à démontrer que la série adjectivale est un phénomène stylistique, un fait qui ne peut se comprendre qu’en analysant le fonctionnement cognitif d’une vision du monde. Dans une première partie nous analysons la série adjectivale comme un fait de langue, une syntaxe complexe ; dans une seconde partie, nous étudions les effets stylistiques produits par la série adjectivale ; puis nous démontrons que le fait syntaxique est l’expression d’un rapport phénoménologique entre le narrateur et le monde qui l’entoure. / Adjectival series are a well-known by Proust’s readers. We find more than three thousand adjectival series in In Search of the Lost time ; some combine two, three, four adjectives, until seveteen adjectives ; we notice semantical variations and syntactical differences. Should we speak about adjectival series or serie ? What do these series have in common ? Is the adjectival series a stylistic figure ? We want to prove that the adjectival serie is part of these two both stylistics phenomenons which are artistical writting effects and vision of the world. We analyse this stylistic fact according to psychomecanical linguistic, as the expression of an original way to feel. In the first part of research we will show that the adjectival serie is a complex syntactic fact ; in the second part we analyse the adjectival serie as a stylistic effect ; then, we demonstrate that the syntactic fact express a phenomenological link between the narrator and the world.

En intégrant la peinture dans son écriture, Proust propose un équivalent visible de l’écriture. La peinture fait sortir du livre l’image visible et la met à la portée du lecteur. Grâce à la peinture, l’écriture sort du cadre des mots pour avoir une existence visuelle. Au lieu de dire ce qu’il « voit », Proust fait voir ce qu’il dit. L’art pictural constitue ici le point de départ à un mouvement de libération de l’imagination. L’écriture trouve dans la peinture l’énergie pour de nouvelles conquêtes sur l’inédit, de même que la peinture accède à une mobilité vivante à travers l’écrit. C’est précisément dans l’animation réciproque des deux arts que se joue la relation entre littérature et peinture chez Proust : lorsque le texte-tableau cesse d’être vu, l’écrit le remet en mouvement pour restituer sa complexité. Les réflexions évoquées dans l’expérience de cette recherche auront le but de montrer comment la littérature et la peinture (se) fondent (dans) la création verbale et comment elles aboutissent à la naissance d’une image mentale qui prend la forme d’une peinture. Dans cette étude, nous cherchons à approfondir diverses formes de mise en scène de l’image littéraire, ainsi qu’à montrer le processus dialectique de différents effets, l’effet figuratif et l’effet qui « fait tableau ». / By integrating painting in his writing, Proust offers a visible equivalent of writing. The paintings bring out of the book some visible images and put them within the eyes of the reader. Through painting, writing goes beyond the ‘scope’ of words and absorbs a visual existence. Instead of saying what he “sees”, Proust prefers showing what he says.The pictorial art is here the starting point to the imagination liberation movement. Writing learns from the paintings the energy to conquer a new form, and painting can access to a vivid mobility through writing. It is precisely in these reciprocal animations between arts that Proust intends to stablish the relationship literature-painting: when the text-picture ceases to be seen, writing re-introduces it into the movement and restores its complexity.The considerations discussed during this research aim to investigate how the relationship between literature and painting is based on a verbal creation and how these arts deliver a mental image that takes the form of a painting. In this study, we seek to concentrate on various aspects of ‘staging’ of the literary image, and to investigate dialectical process of different, figurative and painting-producing effects.

Embora o romance Em busca do tempo perdido seja incontestavelmente uma obra inacabada, não se trata, entretanto, de uma obra incompleta. Seu fechamento circular, promovido pelo diálogo entre o primeiro e último volumes, foi tema de grande parte da crítica proustiana. Com relação à sua composição, seu processo escritural passou por diversas mudanças e a construção, equiparada à execução de uma catedral, poderia igualmente ser caracterizada pela colagem, montagem ou costura dos fragmentos textuais esboçados nos setenta e cinco cadernos de rascunho. A busca pela unidade em meio a essa profusão de textos levou o escritor à atividade incessante de releitura e reescritura e, consequentemente, ao inacabamento da obra. O trabalho que ora apresentamos tem por objetivo o estudo dessa composição, a partir da leitura e análise dos cadernos 53 e 55, ambos consagrados à elaboração da história de Albertine. / Although the novel In Search of Lost Time is certainly unfinished, it is not an incomplete work. Its round ending, promoted by the dialogue between the first and last volumes, was the subject of much Proustian criticism. With respect to its composition, its writing process has gone through many changes and the construction, equivalent to the execution of a cathedral, could also be characterized by the process of montage or the stitching of textual fragments contained in Prousts seventy-five exercise books. The search for unity amongst this profusion of texts has led the writer to the ceaseless activity of rereading and rewriting and thus to the incompleteness of the work. The analysis presented here is aimed at studying this composition, having the reading and the analysis of exercise books 53 and 55, both related to the elaboration of the story of Albertine, as a starting point.

De même que la question essentielle de la théorie de leffet esthétique réfléchit à propos de la possibilité de décrire le processus complexe nommé lecture, cette étude ne cherche pas à comprendre dans toute son étendue comment lacte de lecture est représenté dans À la Recherche du Temps Perdu, et sa théorisation par lécrivain, mais à décrire comment la métaphore de la lecture comme traitement de myopie sincarne en des structures narratives, cest-à-dire, - se réalise dans le temps en des faisceaux dévénements qui composent le récit dune vocation invisible, notamment la singularité de la façon de lire du personnage central de loeuvre de Proust qui sera désignée comme lecture centrifuge, puissance de persuasion du livre qui renvoie le lecteur au monde non-fictionnel, embrouille le dehors et le dedans et résulte dans une espèce dophtalmie. Loeuvre littéraire peut-elle, autant que la peinture, la photographie et le cinéma, désautomatiser la perception visuelle? Lécriture peut-elle, et le corrélat de la lecture, ainsi que les hautes températures, dissoudre les habitudes visuelles anesthésiées et accoutumer les yeux à des esthésies imprévues? La lecture peut-elle la prestidigitation? Et quest-ce que peut le lecteur, finalement, en face du prestidigitateur? Cette dissertation singénie à échapper à lapprivoisement, à la fixation, à la consommation des signifiés de la métaphore de la myopie, en suivant seulement, comme une ombre changeant à côté du Narrateur, ses mutations des sens et la virtualité de ses effets. / Assim como a questão essencial da teoria do efeito estético reflete sobre a possibilidade de descrever o processo complexo denominado leitura, esse estudo não procura compreender em toda sua extensão como o ato de leitura é representado na Busca do Tempo Perdido e teorizado por parte do escritor, mas descrever o modo pelo qual a metáfora da leitura como tratamento de miopia encarna-se em estruturas narrativas, ou seja - realiza-se no tempo - em feixes de acontecimentos que compõem o relato de uma vocação invisível, notadamente a singularidade do modo de leitura da figura central da obra de Proust, a que chamarei de leitura centrífuga, força de persuasão do livro que remete o leitor ao mundo não ficcional, que, embaralhando o fora e o dentro, resulta numa espécie de oftalmia. Pode a obra literária, tanto quanto a pintura, a fotografia e o cinema, desautomatizar a percepção visual? Pode a escrita, e o correlato da leitura, tal como as altas temperaturas, volatilizar os hábitos visuais anestesiados e acostumar os olhos a estesias imprevistas? Pode a leitura a prestidigitação? E o que pode, enfim, o leitor diante do prestidigitador? Empenha-se essa dissertação em escapar ao aprisionamento, à fixação, à consumação dos significados da metáfora da miopia, acompanhando apenas, como sombra movente ao lado do Narrador, suas mutações de sentido e a virtualidade de seus efeitos.
