Abstract This thesis compares Proust’s Recherche with the work of the Cubists, Futurists, and Surrealists. Few scholars have considered the novel’s engagement with avant-garde ideas and aesthetics, despite Proust’s geographical and temporal proximity to avant- garde activity. Without arguing extensively for direct influence or even significant interaction between the two, my research focuses on a broader pool of ideas and cultural-historical developments, around which Proust’s work can be brought into dialogue with both the collective aims of particular groups within the avant-garde, and with the paintings and (to a lesser extent) writings of individual artists. Throughout the thesis, I use their work as a means of shedding light on the conflict and crossover between states of ‘insidership’ and ‘outsidership’, and on the manner in which these states define relations between perceiving, acting subjects and the external objects and spaces they encounter. Chapter 1 focuses on the artistic perceptive faculty and the relation it enables between the artist and the external world, using Bergson’s opposition of ‘analysis’ and ‘intuition’ as a theoretical framework. Chapter 2 is centred around the metaphor of the work of art as a ‘window on the world’ and its implication that a painting is primarily a representation, rather than an object in its own right. Chapter 3 investigates the influence of mechanised transport technologies both on perceptions of space and on relations between people, while Chapter 4 uses Didier Anzieu’s theory of the Moi- peau to argue that the self is defined not only by bodily but by architectural boundaries, which also shape the subject’s relationships with other people. Ultimately, the thesis asks whether the work of Proust and the avant-gardes conceives of the subject’s interaction with the world as a function of surface or of depth, or as a more complex troubling between the two. 2 Contents Acknowledgements 4 Abbreviations 5 List of illustrations 6 Introduction 7 1.

Thanks, first and foremost, must go to the Arts and Humanities Research Council, who generously provided the funding that made the project possible. The project in question would, I am certain, have floundered in intellectual no-man’s-land for far longer than it did, were it not for the rigorous, clear-sighted, and constructive guidance of my supervisor, Dr. Johanna Malt, to whom I am particularly indebted. I am also very grateful to Emma Bielecki, Patrick ffrench, Simon Gaunt, Nick Harrison, Matt Lampitt, Milan Terlunen, and Claire White, all of whom read and gave invaluable feedback on chapter drafts at various stages of completion. My time as a PhD student has been shaped in unquantifiable ways by friends both new and old. I consider myself extremely lucky to have been surrounded throughout by a community of thoughtful, kind-hearted colleagues, whose friendship has been a priceless source of intellectual and emotional nourishment. Ben Dalton, Tom Gould, Alice Hazard, Nikki Ikani, and my fellow Proustian Igor Reyner have my particular thanks. I am hugely grateful, too, to Mira and Alex Athanassouli, whose hospitality enabled me to write much of Chapter 3 surrounded by stunning Kefalonian countryside, and Abigail Yandell, most recently for the loan of her beautiful house during a crucial phase in the evolution of Chapter 4, but more importantly for several decades of jubilant, mischievous friendship. Most of all, I thank Margaret and Tim Brook for their unerring support, belief, and love, and Roberto, for everything. 4 Abbreviations References to Proust’s A la recherche du temps perdu are taken from the Pléiade edition in four volumes, edited by Jean-Yves Tadié (Paris: Gallimard, 1987-89), and are given in the text, using Roman and Arabic numerals to signify the volume and page numbers, respectively.

Proust and the historical avant-gardes are two immeasurably important strands in Western cultural history, and they overlap both chronologically and geographically. Yet the possibility for a comparison between the two has often been shunned, whether directly or indirectly. Roger Shattuck, for example, who has specialised in both Proust and avant-garde studies without ever attempting to reconcile them, writes in his study of the origins of the avant-garde, The Banquet Years, that Proust belongs in a ‘family group’ with Renoir and Ravel, whose ‘rich, beautifully orchestrated masterpieces portray la belle époque at its ripest and never lose control of its sensuous plenitude.’1 All three, he claims, ‘gaze fondly back toward the waning century and tell us not so much what has changed since 1885 as what can be made to survive. Their very technical mastery makes them the old guard who will never die.’2 The scholarly landscape has changed since Shattuck wrote these words. For some time, the consensus has been that Proust was an innovator and a modernist, not a passéiste.3 But avant-garde? The lack of academic enquiry into this area suggests that such a comparison might be a step too far. A handful of studies, it is true, have compared Proust’s work to the Cubists and Futurists; one or two have speculated on his dealings with the French Dadaists, André Breton and Philippe Soupault. But while the role of the visual arts in Proust’s novel has quite rightly been explored in detail, generally speaking, as Luzius Keller writes, ‘on se tourne plutôt du côté de Giotto, Carpaccio, Botticelli ou Vermeer, de Degas, Manet, Renoir ou Monet, de Turner ou Whistler, de Moreau ou Redon que vers Boccioni ou Carrà, Gleizes ou Metzinger, Delaunay, Braque ou Picasso.’4 The importance of older artistic currents for Proust’s novel is not in doubt. But we can no more deny the importance of cultural modernity for Proust’s novel 1 Roger Shattuck, The Banquet Years: The Origins of the Avant-Garde in France: 1885 to World War I (London: Jonathan Cape, 1969), p.

  • Pynchon Nods: Proust in Gravity's Rainbow Date: 2012 Volume: 1 Issue: 1 URL: DOI: 10.7766/Orbit.V1.1.30
    Orbit: Writing Around Pynchon https://www.pynchon.net ISSN: 2044-4095 Author(s): Erik Ketzan Affiliation(s): Institut für Deutsche Sprache, Mannheim, Germany Title: Pynchon Nods: Proust in Gravity's Rainbow Date: 2012 Volume: 1 Issue: 1 URL: https://www.pynchon.net/owap/article/view/30 DOI: 10.7766/orbit.v1.1.30 Abstract: This paper argues that Pynchon may allude to Marcel Proust through the character Marcel in Part 4 of Gravity's Rainbow and, if so, what that could mean. I trace the textual clues that relate to Proust and analyze what Pynchon may be saying about a fellow great experimental writer. Pynchon Nods: Proust in Gravity's Rainbow Erik Ketzan Editorial note: a previous draft of this paper appeared on The Modern Word in 2010. Remember the "Floundering Four" part in Gravity's Rainbow? It's a short story of sorts that takes place in a city of the future called Raketen-Stadt (German for "Rocket City") and features a cast of comic book-style super heroes called the Floundering Four. One of them is named Marcel, and I submit that he is meant as some kind of representation of the great Marcel Proust. Only eight pages long, the Floundering Four section is a parody/riff on a sci-fi comic book story, loosely patterned on The Fantastic Four by Marvel Comics. It appears near the end of Gravity's Rainbow among a set of thirteen chapterettes, each one a fragmentary "text". As Pynchon scholar Steven Weisenburger explains, "A variety of discourses, modes and forms are parodied in the… subsections..

  • Jonathan Greenberg
    Losing Track of Time Jonathan Greenberg Ottessa Moshfegh’s My Year of Rest and Relaxation tells a story of doing nothing; it is an antinovel whose heroine attempts to sleep for a year in order to lose track of time. This desire to lose track of time constitutes a refusal of plot, a satiric and passive- aggressive rejection of the kinds of narrative sequences that novels typically employ but that, Moshfegh implies, offer nothing but accommodation to an unhealthy late capitalist society. Yet the effort to stifle plot is revealed, paradoxically, as an ambi- tion to be achieved through plot, and so in resisting what novels do, My Year of Rest and Relaxation ends up showing us what novels do. Being an antinovel turns out to be just another way of being a novel; in seeking to lose track of time, the novel at- tunes us to our being in time. Whenever I woke up, night or day, I’d shuffle through the bright marble foyer of my building and go up the block and around the corner where there was a bodega that never closed.1 For a long time I used to go to bed early.2 he first of these sentences begins Ottessa Moshfegh’s 2018 novelMy Year of Rest and Relaxation; the second, Proust’s In Search of Lost Time. More ac- T curately, the second sentence begins C. K. Scott Moncrieff’s translation of Proust, whose French reads, “Longtemps, je me suis couché de bonne heure.” D. J. Enright emends the translation to “I would go to bed”; Lydia Davis and Google Translate opt for “I went to bed.” What the translators famously wrestle with is how to render Proust’s ungrammatical combination of the completed action of the passé composé (“went to bed”) with a modifier (“long time”) that implies a re- peated, habitual, or everyday action.

(45.7 x 61 cm.) © Claudia Baez Courtesy of ART 3 gallery Brooklyn, NY, September 19, 2014 – ART 3 opened in Bushwick in May 2014 near Luhring Augustine with its Inaugural Exhibition covered by The New York Times T Magazine, Primer. ART 3 was created by Silas Shabelewska-von Morisse, formerly of Haunch of Venison and Helly Nahmad Gallery. In July 2014, Monika Fabijanska, former Director of the Polish Cultural Institute in New York, joined ART 3 as Co-Director in charge of curatorial program, museums and institutions.

The opening will take place on Wednesday, October 8, from 6-9 PM. “In PAINTINGS after PROUST, Baez offers us an innovative chapter in contemporary painting in ciphering her art via a modernist work of literature within a postmodernist framework. […] In Claudia Baez’s exhibition literary narrative is poetically refracted through painting and vice versa, which the painter reminds us with artistic verve and aplomb of the adage that every picture tells a story as well as the other way around”.

  • Complex Networks Reveal Emergent Interdisciplinary Knowledge in Wikipedia ✉ Gustavo A
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-021-00801-1 OPEN Complex networks reveal emergent interdisciplinary knowledge in Wikipedia ✉ Gustavo A. Schwartz 1,2 In the last 2 decades, a great amount of work has been done on data mining and knowledge discovery using complex networks. These works have provided insightful information about the structure and evolution of scientific activity, as well as important biomedical discoveries. 1234567890():,; However, interdisciplinary knowledge discovery, including disciplines other than science, is more complicated to implement because most of the available knowledge is not indexed. Here, a new method is presented for mining Wikipedia to unveil implicit interdisciplinary knowledge to map and understand how different disciplines (art, science, literature) are related to and interact with each other. Furthermore, the formalism of complex networks allows us to characterise both individual and collective behaviour of the different elements (people, ideas, works) within each discipline and among them. The results obtained agree with well-established interdisciplinary knowledge and show the ability of this method to boost quantitative studies. Note that relevant elements in different disciplines that rarely directly refer to each other may nonetheless have many implicit connections that impart them and their relationship with new meaning. Owing to the large number of available works and to the absence of cross-references among different disciplines, tracking these connections can be challenging. This approach aims to bridge this gap between the large amount of reported knowledge and the limited human capacity to find subtle connections and make sense of them. 1 Centro de Física de Materiales (CSIC-UPV/EHU)—Materials Physics Center (MPC), San Sebastian, Gipuzkoa, Spain.

    INDEX Press release Fact Sheet Photo Sheet Exhibition Walkthrough A CLOSER LOOK Goncharova and Italy: Controversy, Inspiration, Friendship by Ludovica Sebregondi ‘A spritual autobiography’: Goncharova’s exhibition of 1913 by Evgenia Iliukhina Activities in the exhibition and beyond List of the works Natalia Goncharova A woman of the avant-garde with Gauguin, Matisse and Picasso Florence, Palazzo Strozzi, 28.09.2019–12.01.2020 #NataliaGoncharova This autumn Palazzo Strozzi will present a major retrospective of the leading woman artist of the twentieth- century avant-garde, Natalia Goncharova. Natalia Goncharova will offer visitors a unique opportunity to encounter Natalia Goncharova’s multi-faceted artistic output. A pioneering and radical figure, Goncharova’s work will be presented alongside masterpieces by the celebrated artists who served her either as inspiration or as direct interlocutors, such as Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Giacomo Balla and Umberto Boccioni. Natalia Goncharova who was born in the province of Tula in 1881, died in Paris in 1962 was the first women artist of the Russian avant-garde to reach fame internationally. She exhibited in the most important European avant-garde exhibitions of the era, including the Blaue Reiter Munich, the Deutsche Erste Herbstsalon at the Galerie Der Sturm in Berlin and at the post-impressionist exhibition in London. At the forefront of the avant- garde, Goncharova scandalised audiences at home in Moscow when she paraded, in the most elegant area of the city with her face and body painted.
