Cet article présente seulement quelques idées d’une pensée philosophique qui a rayonné en France entre les deux guerres et qui a connu malheureusement un déclin considérable à la suite de l’influence de la philosophie allemande. La philosophie réflexive, connue ainsi par sa méthode de réflexion du sujet, vise à repérer le fondement métaphysique du moi au-delà de tout déterminisme lié aux faits psychologiques objectivables. Le moi est saisi par un retour de la pensée sur elle-même comme causalité spirituelle de tout acte volitif. À partir du cogito cartésien, Maine de Biran a été l’inspirateur de cette méthode philosophique de grand intérêt qui fonde une métaphysique de la conscience en tant que dimension première d’une philosophie de la subjectivité. Une relecture de la célèbre œuvre de Marcel Proust à la lumière de cette lignée de pensée, nous révèle l’influence de la philosophie réflexive en littérature. Ceci remettrait en avant une philosophie éclipsée, mais de grande valeur pour le monde français contemporain et ainsi jetterait une nouvelle lumière sur la critique littéraire de notre époque.

The Many Voices of Lydia Davis shows how translation, rewriting and intertextuality are central to the work of Lydia Davis, a major American writer, translator and essayist. Winner of the Man Booker International Prize 2013, Davis writes innovative short stories that question the boundaries of the genre. She is also an important translator of French writers such as Maurice Blanchot, Michel Leiris, Marcel Proust and Gustave Flaubert. Translation and writing go hand-in-hand in Davis’s work. Through a series of readings of Davis’s major translations and her own writing, this book investigates how Davis’s translations and stories relate to each other, finding that they are inextricably interlinked. It explores how Davis uses translation - either as a compositional tool or a plot device - and other instances of rewriting in her stories, demonstrating that translation is central for understanding her prose. Understanding how Davis’s work complicates divisions between translating and other forms of writing highlights the role of translation in literary production, questioning the received perception that translation is less creative than other forms of writing.

This paper explores how Judaism is represented in non-Jewish writers of the nineteenth-century (outstandingly, Walter Scott and George Eliot) and in modernist long novels, such as those by Dorothy Richardson, Marcel Proust, James Joyce, Alfred Döblin, Robert Musil, and Thomas Mann, and, in the Latin American novel, Carlos Fuentes and Roberto Bolaño. It finds a relationship between the length of the ‘long’ novel, as a meaningful category in itself (not to be absorbed into other modernist narratives), and the interest that these novels have in Judaism, and in anti-semitism (e.g. in the Dreyfus affair) as something which cannot be easily assimilated into the narratives which the writers mentioned are interested in. The paper investigates the implications of this claim for reading these texts.

Although very famous, some key moments of the novel In Search of Lost Time, such as those of the madeleine or the uneven pavement, often remain enigmatic for the reader. Our article attempts to formulate a possible philosophical interpretation of the narrator's experiences during these scenes, through a confrontation of the Proustian text with the ideas found in the System of Transcendental Idealism (1800) of the German philosopher F. W. J. Schelling. We thus try to highlight the essential role of the self in Marcel Proust's aesthetic thinking, by showing that the mysterious happiness felt by the narrator, and from which the project of creating a work of art is ultimately born, is similar to the experiences of pure self-consciousness evoked and analyzed by Schellingian philosophy of art.
