          Abstract

          Abstract This article explores the centrality of Marcel Proust's novel A la Recherche du temps perdu in the literary criticism of Walter Benjamin. In the context of the 100th anniversary of the Institute for Social Research, it reevaluates how he engaged with Proust's work and highlights the importance of art and literature for a radical Critical Theory. For Benjamin, Proust is a subversive writer who surpasses the novel as a genre and subverts the relationship between the novel and time through recollection. La Recherche is also a powerful force for Benjamin's critical theory. Therefore, the article also addresses the presence of Proustian themes in his reflections on history and revolution.

          Resumen Este artículo explora la centralidad de la novela de Marcel Proust A la Recherche du temps perdu en la crítica literaria de Walter Benjamin. Celebrando el centenario del Instituto de Investigación Social, reevalúa cómo Benjamin se relacionó con la obra de Proust y destaca la importancia del arte y la literatura para una Teoría Crítica radical. Para Benjamin, Proust es un escritor subversivo que trasciende la novela como género y subvierte la relación entre la novela y el tiempo a través del recuerdo. La Recherchetambién es una fuerza poderosa para la teoría crítica de Benjamin. Por lo tanto, el artículo aborda además la presencia de temas proustianos en sus reflexiones sobre la historia y la revolución.
