Resumo(s)
Esta tese analisa, no romance À la recherche du temps perdu (Marcel Proust, 1913-
1927), o luto do protagonista pela avó e por Albertine, as duas maiores perdas de sua
vida. A tese busca se diferenciar de duas posições da crítica: a que descreve Marcel
como um enlutado incurável a lamentar o passo do tempo e a perda das pessoas que
amou; e a que o descreve como um cínico que rapidamente supera e esquece as
perdas pessoais. Em contrapartida, a tese oferece uma interpretação do protagonista
como alguém que quer, sem sucesso, controlar e resolver o luto pela razão e pelo
discurso – daí, por exemplo, anunciar tantas vezes já ter se tornado indiferente à
Albertine e à avó. À revelia dos desejos de Marcel, o luto faz seu caminho de modo
intermitente, emocional, persistente e não deliberado, sem concluir no apagamento
do morto ou no lamento permanente. Busca-se, por fim, discutir, por meio de
critérios não comportamentais, o alcance e a natureza das mudanças que o luto
favorece em Marcel, nomeadamente a sua vocação para a escrita.
This thesis addresses Marcel’s mourning for his grandmother and Albertine in the novel In Search of Lost Time (Marcel Proust, 1913-1927). They are the main losses in the protagonist’s life. The thesis rejects two major types of description in Proust criticism: the one which describes Marcel as a never-ending mourner; and the one according to which he is a cynical character who quickly gets over and forgets his personal losses. Against such claims, the thesis puts forth arguments to depict Marcel as someone eager for controlling and solving mourning through reason and speech. This explains why he repeatedly claims to have already become indifferent to Albertine and to his grandmother. He fails, though. In spite of Marcel’s wishes, mourning makes its way as an intermittent, emotional, ongoing, and unintentional process. It does not succeed in obliterating the dead nor in engaging in an eternal moaning. The thesis finally concludes that considering non-behavioral criteria is crucial to fully assess the extent and the nature of some changes prompted by mourning in Marcel, such as his vocation for writing.
