ABSTRACT (en)
This article proposes a comparative analysis between the hypothesis of an inflection of historical time contemporary to the First World War (1914–1918) and the inflection of time in the cleavage of lost time and regained time in Proust’s work. It thus aims to contribute to a line of thought on the ‘Proustian conception of History’, and to reflections on a Proust who would be simultaneously criti- cal of time and opposed to an absolute ‘decline’. These considerations go beyond the Proustian case, touching on the relationship between literary narrative and philosophy of History, as well as that between literature and historical theory.
