Koncept pamäti a spomienky v „Hľadaní strateného času“. K storočnici úmrtia Marcela Prousta
The concept of memory and remembrance in Marcel Proust’s “In Search for Lost Time” on the centennial of his death

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the concept of memory and remembrance in Marcel Proust’s chef d’oeuvre on three levels: 1) the memory of literature, 2) memory in literature, and, 3) literature as the medium of memory. It can be shown how Proust’s notions of mémoire involontaire touch the Bergsonian concept of memory and remembrance, which is rather a commonplace. In some respect, Proust’s reflections on memory as a “cognitive archive” are open to Gestalt psychology, but they also have several implications to the Freudian concept of remembrance and forgetting. It is worth mentioning that the author’s conceptualization of then-new technology (the airplane, the telephone, photography, etc.) also intervenes strongly into his notion of memory.
