Abstract

Memory is one of the primary keys of our past through which we can extract the outcome of our wisdom to construct our present vision and mature conclusion on life, people, and art. However, the deliberate search in our memories will paint our story with subjective choices and prejudiced judgments. To reflect an accurate and authentic picture of the past, we need to use our involuntary memories to stress the objectivity and neutrality of our story. Marcel Proust's seven-volume autobiography In Search of Lost Time represents this artistic vision with its entire elements. It includes the author's constant encounter with his culture, the involuntary triggered memory from his unconsciousness, the author's struggle and frustration to focus aiming at unleashing a wave of voluntary memories, and finally, his eloquence and detailed description of the whole scenery, allowing his readers to fulfill their quests and draw their own conclusions. The current study analyzes Proust's technique in remembering his past through three main stages. The first stage concerns using our cultural background to trigger an involuntary memory from our unconsciousness. After the activation, our brain can collaborate between the triggered involuntary memory and the other relevant voluntary memories to represent a coherent story of the past. This picture of that past should be based on the aesthetic and detailed elaboration and description of the scenery, giving the reader a comprehensive vision and helping them draw their conclusions.
