I10-R10-article-338372021-07-27T22:45:26Z Vinteuil’s shadow in two french novels La sombra de Vinteuil en dos novelas francesas Morisseau, Arthur Bastianelli composer literature Millet Vinteuil Bastianelli compositor literatura Millet Vinteuil This article of comparative literature investigates the post-Vinteuil period by analyzing the reception of the fictitious composer of Marcel Proust's work In Search of Lost Time in literary writings from the second half of the 20th century as well as from the 21st century. These novels staging the composer fit into a relatively recent (late 18th century) sub-category of fiction: stories about composers who only exist in the pages of books. The second half of the 20th century ushered in a change in the way novelists described fictional composers: a burlesque vein emerged which did not escape some Proustian novels. The shadow of Vinteuil can explain the need, with various stakes, for this parodic turn: some authors, such as Richard Millet in L'Angélus, are aware that they must literally put to death the master, Proust, in order to free themselves from him –even if his legacy lives on. Others, like Jérôme Bastianelli in La Vraie Vie de Vinteuil, ambition to make Vinteuil real: although they actually create a new character who is all the more fictitious for that matter. Este artículo de literatura comparada investiga el período post-Vinteuil analizando la recepción del compositor ficticio de À la Recherche du temps perdu de Marcel Proust en escritos de la segunda mitad del siglo XX y del siglo XXI. Estas novelas sobre el compositor se inscriben en una subcategoría de la ficción relativamente reciente (fines del siglo XVIII): la de las historias sobre compositores que solo existen en las páginas de los libros. La segunda mitad del siglo XX marcó el comienzo de un cambio en la forma en que los novelistas describen a los compositores ficticios: surgió una vena burlesca que no escapa a algunas novelas proustianas. La sombra de Vinteuil puede explicar la necesidad, con implicancias variadas, de esta orientación paródica: algunos autores, como Richard Millet en L’Angélus, son conscientes de que deben literalmente dar muerte al maestro, Proust, con el fin de librarse de él, incluso aunque su legado siga presente. Otros, como Jérôme Bastianelli en La Vraie vie de Vinteuil, fingen volver real a Vinteuil, creando en realidad un nuevo personaje aún más ficticio.
