« Toute l’œuvre proustienne est pleine de ces déplacements ; ils y tiennent une place au moins aussi importante que les souvenirs », écrivait Georges Poulet dans l’Espace proustien. Cet ouvrage se propose de faire des “mobiles”, les instruments du déplacement symptomatique, le point de départ d’une approche et d’une vision originales. Présenter une sorte de “revue” inédite, de “défilé” dans la rue - loin des salons - des personnages principaux de la Recherche... en calèche, Victoria, landau, chaise de poste, coupé, bicyclette, automobile... Se replacer, pour cela, dans le contexte de la Belle Epoque et de son atmosphère, poser par exemple sur Albertine, la cycliste de Balbec, le regard des polémistes, Sarah Bernhardt, Stéphane Mallarmé... Stigmatiser à travers ces métaphores sexuelles ou sociales toute une société en marche dans une double direction : l’homosexualité ou le déclassement, deux déclinaisons d’un renversement. Appréhender un art nouveau (autre forme de renversement) : celui d’une métamorphose continuelle engendrée, dans tous les domaines, par la fusion des genres, des images et des sons, prodigieusement créatrice, que le déplacement a activée (« les voitures aussi sont des Renoir »). Revivre chacune des grandes rencontres du héros-narrateur ; accompagner le « voyageur voilé » dans ses déplacements, révélations et émotions. Approcher ainsi la genèse de l’écriture de la Recherche du temps perdu de manière dynamique, en direct, en soulignant son ancrage dans une réalité mouvante. Prendre le parti de « l’Âge des choses » (un des trois titres que Proust en 1913 encore, envisageait de donner à l’un des trois volumes de la Recherche) pour, à l’instar du narrateur avec des choses humbles, accéder à une écriture, un style, une révélation, un plaisir aussi. Chemin faisant, intercepter, kaléidoscopique, l’histoire de la Recherche, de Combray aux grandes avenues parisiennes (côté Swann, côté Guermantes), de Balbec à Montjouvain (côté Sodome et Gomorrhe), et…

Ces contributions proposent des études autour du thème du transport : le transport dans l'espace, dans le temps, vers l'autre monde, mais également le transport lié à l'inspiration créatrice. Depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'à l'époque contemporaine, elles abordent cette notion d'un point de vue littéraire, linguistique, historique et sociologique.

"Engine of Modernity: The Omnibus and Urban Culture in Nineteenth-Century Paris" examines the connection between public transportation and popular culture in nineteenth-century Paris through a focus on the omnibus - a horse-drawn vehicle for mass urban transport which enabled contact across lines of class and gender. A major advancement in urban locomotion, the omnibus generated innovations in social practices by compelling passengers of diverse backgrounds to interact within the vehicle's close confines. Although the omnibus itself did not actually have an engine, its arrival on the streets of Paris and in the pages of popular literature acted as a motor for a fundamental cultural shift in how people thought about the city, its social life, and its artistic representations. At the intersection of literary criticism and cultural history, "Engine of Modernity" argues that for nineteenth-century French writers and artists, the omnibus was much more than a mode of transportation. It became a metaphor through which to explore evolving social dynamics of class and gender, meditate on the meaning of progress and change, and reflect on one's own literary and artistic practices.

This book examines temporal and formal disruptions found in American autobiographical narratives produced during the end of the nineteenth century. It argues that disruptions were primarily the result of encounters with new communication and transportation technologies. Through readings of major autobiographical works of the period, James E. Dobson argues that the range of affective responses to writing, communicating, and traveling at increasing speed and distance were registered in this literature’s formal innovation. These autobiographical works, Dobson claims, complicate our understanding of the lived experience of time, temporality, and existing accounts of periodization. This study first examines the competing views of space and time in the nineteenth century and then moves to examine how high-speed train travel altered American literary regionalism, the region, and history. Later chapters examine two narratives of failed homecoming that are deeply ambivalent about modernity and technology, Henry James’s The American Scene and Theodore Dreiser’s A Hoosier Holiday, before a reading of the telephone network as a metaphor for historiography and autobiography in Henry Adams’s The Education of Henry Adams.
