Proust y los signos

The genius of Proust finally had the essayist his work deserved: Gilles Deleuze. In this masterful investigation of the structural laws of his work, Deleuze demonstrates in an unappealable way how the experience of writing In Search of Lost Time, in addition to mobilizing the involuntary and the unconscious, produces its own procedures of meaning. Thus Proust achieves a machinery that works with invisible efficiency capturing the reader. Deleuze discovers alternations and oppositions, as well as various keys to the work, in a learning process that is at the same time that of the author and that of the reader. The work unfolds harmoniously until its final goal: to achieve redemption thanks to the discovery of the truth. But for Proust, at the beginning of the work there are no truths, only hieroglyphs, hence the "recherche" (which has the double meaning of investigation and search) consists of interpreting and translating until the sign and the meaning coincide.
