Craig Raine, ‘Memory in Literature’
fn1 When Paul Pennyfeather marries Margot Beste-Chetwynde in Waugh’s Decline and Fall, his social elevation, from schoolmaster to millionaire, is marked by his shopping: ‘Paul, with unaccustomed prodigality, bought two new ties, three pairs of shoes, an umbrella, and a set of Proust.’
fn2 The only two specific citations in ‘Phases of Fiction’ are both to Volume 3 Le coté de Guermantes – to p. 385 (Marcel saying he is not asleep as he is woken by his mother to go to his grandmother’s deathbed) and to p. 688 (Swann telling the Duchesse de Guermantes that he will be dead in three or four months as she gets into her carriage to go out to dinner).
fn3 Very different from her public assessment in the Times Literary Supplement (23 May 1918), where she lauded the spirituality of Ulysses.
Ignês Sodré, ‘Where the Lights and Shadows Fall: on not being able to remember and not being able to forget’
fn1 What Freud discovered in relation to war trauma, and we know so well now in post-traumatic stress disorders, is that an indigestible, overwhelming event keeps re-invading the mind with the fresh impact of an experience in the present; fear and horror are there as if the inimical person or thing is present in the room. We also know that infantile trauma can be repeated through a re-enactment of the abuse situation, but with the roles reversed: child abusers are often abused children, who are compelled to repeat the unbearable violence through identification with the aggressor, in an (unconscious) attempt to master the trauma by projecting it into a new victim. In this case, the disturbing memory remains unconscious but so concrete that it needs to be re-enacted in external reality.
fn2 Terence Cave, introduction to Silas Marner (1996).
fn3 The discussion of Mourning and Melancholia which follows is also part of my paper, ‘The Wound, The Bow and the Shadow of the Object’ in Freud: A Modern Reader, ed. R. J. Perelberg (2005).
fn4 Mourning and Melancholia (1917), p. 249.
fn5 Op.cit., pp. 249–50.
fn6 Freud, The Ego and the Id (1923), p. 58.
fn7 A.S. Byatt, Little Black Book of Stories (2003), p. 129.
fn8 Ibid., pp. 130–31.
fn9 Ibid., pp. 145–6.
fn10 Mourning and Melancholia, pp. 244–5.
fn11 The connection between the creation of Marner and A Winter’s Tale has often been discussed; see, for instance, Cave, op. cit.
Patrick Bateson, ‘Memory and Evolution’
fn1 This idea was presented in his book The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex published in 1871. Darwin first used the metaphor of selection in 1859 in On the Origin of Species, opposing natural selection to the artificial selection employed by plant and animal breeders. The extension of the metaphor to evolutionary processes driven by preference has caused difficulties and what animals do has frequently been confused with the consequences in terms of evolutionary change. Muddle is avoided if the preferential mating behaviour of animals is referred to as mate choice.
