TL;DR: In this paper, the present ouvrage est consacre a l'etude de cette question de methode, elaboree a travers une lecture « visuelle » de Proust.
Abstract: Que peut etre une image ecrite, comment peut-on la lire ? Le present ouvrage est consacre a l’etude de cette question de methode, elaboree a travers une lecture « visuelle » de Proust. Dans l’œuvre de cet auteur, les rapports entre texte et image sont explores dans toute leur complexite, sans reduction de l’abime qui separe le domaine visuel proprement dit du domaine langagier. Nul passage ne demontre plus clairement la portee paradoxale de l’image litteraire que cette mise en abyme repetee ou la signature de Gilberte, l’amie d’enfance du heros de La recherche, fait l’objet d’une description graphique.
