The relationship between Marcel Proust and John Ruskin has always
attracted interest. However, the influence of the English art
critic was seen essentially in terms of cultural inputs. At the
same time, as a translator, Proust was not taken seriously: 'Au
fond vous ne savez pas l'anglais et cela doit etre plein de
contresens' said to him the Prince de Brancovan. Proust's irate
response was that perhaps he didn't know the English language, but
he profoundly knew his Ruskin. In fact, his translations were
unanimously well received. In her original work, Nathalie Aubert
demonstrates that the reason why Proust embarked on his
translations was that he had experienced the inadequacy of his own
language, forcing him to abandon his first novel. She shows that
the obscurity of Ruskin's text helped him to establish in La
Recherche a constant tension between insignificance and meaning.
Informed by phenomenology, she points out that this tension is a
temporal process, due to the complexity of the Visual and that the
structural link between translation and metaphor is a bridge
between text and reality via the Visual.
