Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the intricate relationship between language and social interaction, this book delves into Marcel Proust's examination of communication in "In Search of Lost Time." Michael Lucey analyzes Proust's insights through the lenses of linguistic anthropology, speech act theory, and Pierre Bourdieu's sociology. Each chapter features interludes that contextualize Proust's novel-writing within a broader literary tradition, comparing him to authors like Balzac and Woolf. This approach offers fresh perspectives on language's role in literature and its implications for literary criticism.
