Abstract

The article focuses on the intersections of queerness and Jewishness in Marcel Proust's "A la recherche du temps perdu," particularly in response to the social and political context of the Dreyfus affair. Topics include the heightened visibility of Jews and queers in nineteenth-century Europe, the performative aspects of Jewishness and queerness in Proust's work, and the deconstruction of identity through dramatic language as a response to emerging French fascism.
