The question of how far A la Recherche du temps perdu, Proust's enormous 'metaphor of life',¹ is, in terms of its writing as well as in terms of its themes, influenced by the emergence of new media technologies in the late nineteenth century has increasingly been the focus of critical interest for the last twenty years.² There is now little doubt that besides traditional media such as painting and music, A la Recherclze foregrounds specific photographic and filmic techniques as well as, to give just one example, the telephone, which the narrator calls 'a premonition ( ... ) of an eternal separation!' {IS III, 148/R II,134).· If one can argue that emergent media as thematicized in A la Recherche are not only the product of the narrator's creation of memory but that they also have a bearing on the text, then it is nevertheless important to take note of the fact that they are in their turn already the product of another medium called writing.
