Marcel Proust, Leopoldo Marechal, or the contradictions of modernity
The paradigmatic novels of literary modernism À la recherche du temps perdu (1913-1927) by Marcel Proust and Adán Buenosayres (1948) by Leopoldo Marechal show a fundamental contradiction on which they are based: the simultaneous traditionalism of their theory and aesthetic search – and the modernity...

They defend a poetics that their own writing surpasses, and they seek a return to a classic work as a return to a totality that reality no longer offers. With Antoine Compagnon, they can be considered as anti-modern, ultra-modern, or modern 'despite themselves'. In the comparative analysis of the two novels I will offer in the following pages, I focus on the theory of metaphor explicitly discussed and practically distorted in the texts: by the metonymic technique in the case of Proust, and by allegory in that of Marechal. I conclude the analysis with a sketched comparison of the overtures of La Recherche and Adán Buenosayres, in order to exemplify the positions previously discussed theoretically. Las novelas paradigmáticas de la modernidad literaria À la recherche du temps perdu (1913-1927), de Marcel Proust, y Adán Buenosayres (1948), de Leopoldo Marechal, ostentan una contradicción fundamental en la que a la vez se basan: la simultánea tradicionalidad de su teoría y búsqueda estética y la modernidad de su escritura. Defienden una poética que su propia escritura supera y buscan el retorno a una obra clásica como reflejo de una totalidad que la realidad (ya) no ofrece. Con Antoine Compagnon, pueden ser considerados antimodernos, ultramodernos o modernos ‘a su pesar’. En el análisis comparativo de las dos novelas que propongo, me concentro en la teoría de la metáfora discutida explícitamente y desvirtuada prácticamente en los textos: por la técnica metonímica, en el caso de Proust, y por la alegoría, en el de Marechal. Termino el análisis con una comparación esbozada de las oberturas de la Recherche y de Adán Buenosayres, para así ejemplificar las posiciones antes discutidas teóricamente.
