Text of the call for papers:

Although well explored, Marcel Proust’s literary work is a territory that never ceases to reveal unknown corners. Whether the subject of interest is the author’s masterpiece or his other literary attempts, or even his unpublished writings, research continues to bring out new discoveries. The century that has passed since the author’s death has been marked by efforts to understand his work, or at least to multiply its readings with different interpretative languages.

In Search of Lost Time represents a field of possibilities that – by its essentially open nature – brings to light new answers to old questions: is the aim of the work to satisfy the author’s desire to record his entire life; to overcome death through the power of language, or to express the essence of things? Is it a monumental act of free and involuntary recollection? Or a vast meditation on so many social issues?

The centenary of the author’s death has provoked an increased and intensified interest in his work: not only the new discoveries of important manuscripts following the donation to the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, but also the new Proustian biographies by Jean-Yves Tadié and William C. Carter, or the results of genetic criticism in a broad sense (IMEC, Nathalie Mauriac Dyer, Marion Schmid, Anthony R. Pugh). Through its main themes, In Search of Lost Time has become an important milestone in the research history of queer themes (for all, we have to mention Eve Kosofsky-Sedgwick’s essays, published posthumously), and in the social approach to understanding literature (Jacques Dubois, Edward J. Hughes).

The renewed interest in In Search of Lost Time in the context of Central Europe is evidenced not only by the appearance of documents concerning the extraordinary role that the work played in the individual histories of the twentieth century (for example the gulag lectures of Józef Czapski), but also by its new editions (in Czech), or new translations (Polish by Krystyna Rodowska and Wawrzyniec Brzozowski, German by Bernd-Jürgen Fischer), and last but not least by the success of both the Czech 2019 dramatization directed by J. A. Pitínský, and the highly acclaimed Polish dramatization, directed by Krzysztof Warlikowski in 2015.

On the occasion of the centenary of the author’s death, we would like to organize a conference that will inspire and show possible interpretative approaches to Marcel Proust’s texts, and perspectives from which they can be considered. Our goal is to bring together researchers and doctoral students interested in Proust, and to open a discussion about possible viewpoints on his work.

Při druhém setkání semináře CEFRESu vystoupí dva badatelé:

Ronan Hervouet (Profesor sociologie na Univerzitě v Bordeaux, CEFRES):
Běloruští vystěhovalci ve střední a východní Evropě po vypuknutí války na Ukrajině. Představení výzkumného projektu.

Abstrakt
Cílem výzkumného projektu Biélexil je porozumět následkům, které dopadly po vypuknutí války na Ukrajině na Bělorusy, kteří uprchli ze své vlasti po roce 2020 a našli útočiště na Ukrajině, v Polsku, Litvě a České republice. Projekt se zaměřuje na přesuny obyvatelel, jejich zážitky a formy politizace. Je financován francouzským ústavem L’Institut Convergenges Migrations (ICM), probíhá v CEFRES a koordinují jej Michèle Baussanová a Ronan Hervouet. Tento příspěvek představí projekt od jeho počátečních fází a předložení návrhu přes cíle, které si klade, a možné pokračování po uplynutí doby financování (tj. let 2022–2023).

Emina Zoletićová (doktorandka Varšavské univerzity, CEFRES):
Intergenerational transmission of the family memory of the war: Displacement and the Bosnian diaspora in Europe 

Abstrakt
Studium přenosu válečných vzpomínek je důležité jak z hlediska společenského, tak z hlediska politického. Minulost jednoduše nevymizí – z věcí již prožitých vytvoří první generace narativ, který pak předá generaci další. A ačkoli se může zdát, že onen narativ vymizel, může pouze dřímat, připraven znovu se vynořit o několik generací či dokonce staletí později.

Tento příspěvek se zaměří na konkrétní případy mezigeneračního přenosu válečných vzpomínek mezi rodinami, které zažily válku v Bosně a Hercegovině, a bosenskými rodinami, které žijí v Evropské unii. Na problematiku pohlíží z mezioborové perspektivy (propojuje sociologii, psychologii a paměťová studia) a s důrazem na metodologický postup. Zaměřuje se také na to, jak je minulost rozvíjena v širším společenském, politickém a kulturním kontextu.
