MINUTES AND MATTERS ARISING
---------------------------
For 'Phil Cross' read 'Stuart Cross'. Apologies.
The polymer chemists became Sheffield employees at midnight. All best
wishes. They were not sure whether last night's drink was a celebration
or a wake.
1. NEWS
-------
BELATED CONGRATULATIONS TO Vicky Tyrrell, Press Officer, who
celebrated her 30th Birthday on 13th March.
BEST WISHES TO PROFESSOR MCCALDIN who is currently unwell and was
unable to conduct Saturday's Bach B Minor Mass. He can't be helped by
uncertainty about next year's concert programme. With his retirement
there is still no sign of a successor as impresario, UMAG having turned
down Music's request for help with staffing the job and insisting that
a replacement in the role be found within the department.
CONTINUATION AUDIT: Congrats all round. It seems the outcome of the
exercise was positive. It is thought there are not going to be
compulsory recommendations. We are likely to be asked to consider the
balance between quality assurance processes devolved to departmental or
faculty levels and those held centrally, and to consider how to
maintain an effective overview. A pro-active approach to staff
development is likely to be advised. On collaborative provision, a
clarification of the university's role in safeguarding the standards of
its awards and the quality of education through accreditation
arrangements, will probably feature.
The role of the associate deans, the 5-D project (one dept from each
faculty drafting benchmarks!), and the role of the colleges in
facilitating the engagement of students will probably be amongst the
positive points indicated.
COUNCIL MEETS THIS FRIDAY and will ratify the LEC project go-ahead.
Not at all sure that the detailed risks analysis inspires confidence.
Some highly detailed 'technical' projections, but the worst case one
shows a negative net present value. Such conservatism is hopefully
unnecessary but this is so similar to certain previous building gambles
that it's one to watch.
THE POLICY ON CAR PARKING FOR NERC staff was raised at the last
Estates Committee. It is to form part of the negotiations about the
lease and would be formulated within the context of the university'’
own transport policy for the next five to ten years. There were two
separate issues that would be addressed; first, how the additional
vehicles would be accommodated within our car-parking capacity as
agreed with the local authority, and secondly how any ear-marked NERC
spaces would be paid for.
THIS YEAR'S PAY CLAIM: The VC expressed concern at the last Finance
Committee about the impact of the forthcoming pay claim, already
defined as a major risk to the university. The committee noted the
relative isolation of UCEA from most of the university sector, the
significant recent pay award for school teachers, and the unlikelihood
of the present Comprehensive Spending Review resulting in additional
funding for higher education.
NO MONEY FOR FIELD STATION: Lancaster's bid under the 'Poor estates'
initiative, to replace the Biological Sciences Field Station research
facilities, built as temporary accommodation in the late 1960's, was
unsuccessful. Whilst other approaches for support funding are to be
made, this means that the Council underwriting of up to £4m for the
Lancaster Environment Centre Project will need to be drawn down in
full.
ADDITIONAL FUNDED NUMBERS: Lancaster has been awarded 121 additional
funded full-time ug numbers in the latest round of awards from the
annual bidding process with HEFCE. 21 of these are related to growth in
the North American Exchange Programme and will be funded in next year.
100 are related to growth in science and will be funded in 2001/02. The
awards are conditional on achieving the growth awarded in last year's
bidding round. Provided that the current year's entry targets are
achieved there should be np problem in achieving this. Together they
will be worth approximately £600k recurrent per annum.
New schemes against which to bid in the next round are under
consideration in the faculties.
DEPARTMENTAL ACCOUNTS: A motion tabled by Dr AJ Gilbert is on the
agenda of this afternoon's Humanities Faculty meeting. It calls for the
annual publication of departmental accounts and their discussion by the
faculty. Not sure whether this is controversial or not. It is claimed
to happen already in some other faculties.
"THE INCREASE IN RECURRENT GRANT OF 2.5% contains no surprises for
Lancaster University and is slightly better than had been allowed for
in the University'’s financial forecast. So says the offficial planning
office news (on the web front page but do you read it?) It continues:
"There have been increases in research funding related to the
progressive recovery in postgraduate and research staff numbers
following a fall after the staff reductions resulting from financial
difficulties four years ago; and also increases in allocations related
to growth in student numbers.
The increase of 2.5% on 1999/2000 has to be set in the context of a
larger 4.7% increase achieved last year when Lancaster achieved a
significant student growth allocation.
Lancaster shares the concern throughout the higher education sector
that inflation in university costs is expected to be at least 2.5%,
leaving institutions with grant increases of less than this suffering
from a real terms reduction in funding. Most serious, if the outcome of
the current round of pay negotiations is greater than the 3.5% allowed
for in the financial forecasts, this will add further to the
University’s funding gap".
THIS YEAR'S IREDELL LECTURE is a reminder that this generously endowed
annual event allows us to invite the most eminent lawyers and
historians from around the globe. It will take place on 16 March 2000
at 6.00 p.m. in the Faraday Lecture Theatre. Professor David B. Wilkins
will deliver a lecture entitled, "Black Justice: The Impact of Charles
Hamilton Houston's philosophy that Black lawyers should be 'social
engineers for justice' on the ideals of Four Generations of Black
American Lawyers."
Professor Wilkins is Kirkland and Ellis Professor of Law and Director
of the Program on the Legal Profession at Harvard Law School. He is
also a Senior Research Fellow at the American Bar Foundation. He has
written numerous articles on the legal ethics, racism and the legal
profession, with a particular emphasis on the experience of black
lawyers in corporate law firms. He has interviewed over 200 lawyers for
a forthcoming book on black corporate lawyers tentatively titled “The
New Social Engineers: The Making of the Black Corporate Bar and What it
Means for America.”
2. TIPS FOR WOULD BE PROUSTIANS (V)
-----------------------------------
The second part of Swann's Way is an account in the third person of
Swann's love affair with Odette before their marriage. This is the
first of the five major love affairs in the novel, four of them between
wealthy men and indigent, unworthy partners from a different social
class. (And in every one of them the unworthy partner sooner or later
is feared to be bisexual, to the perpetual torment of their lover.)
It also introduces us to the long-standing Wednesday 'salons' of the
fatuous and ghastly (but well-off) Mme Verdurin, which years later the
narrator will also attend and dissect. Note the name: NOT 'de Verdurin'
for, alas, they are but wealthy bourgeois and are snubbed by the real
aristocracy. They therefore decree real aristocrats boring and try to
gather a little 'clan' of loyal friends who will attend their parties
in preference to those of more famous names and sing the praises of
their latest protege.
The Verdurins always try to surround themselves with 'brilliant' young
pianists or violinists to entertain their guests, hoping that one of
them will turn out to be a new Ravel or Debussy. Mme Verdurin is an
imperious monster of snobbery, who affects to despise snobs and is
blind to her own extraordinary egotism. She's also a nosy gossip, a
rather dim and bossy woman, convinced that she is an intellectual. Later
she's going to be widowed and marry the Duc de Duras. Then she is
widowed again, and by this time she is very wealthy indeed and, irony
of ironies, marries.... but no, that would spoil it.
Her salon is a galaxy of non-stars, Dr Cottard, for example, a rising
young medic who is not a conversationalist and to find something to say
asks about the meaning of words. His obsession with etymology becomes a
comic trait worthy of soap-opera. Her salon is attended by Swann out of
politeness but because of the pianist one year he becomes a regular. It
is also frequented by a demie-mondaine, a widow called Odette de
Crecy...
Swann also frequents the very different salon of Mme de Villeparisis,
aunt of the Guermantes and a friend of the narrator's grandmother, once
a lover of M de Norpois and a great meddler in people's love affairs
and secret trysts.
The novel tells of Swann's affair with Odette, of the enslavement of
an intelligent man to an unworthy sort of woman, but also of his
passionate love of music, and of the way the two are linked by the
'petite phrase' from the Vinteuil sonata. The 'spatial' analyses of
musical patterns and explanations of the nature of our enjoyment of
music are another facet of Proust's work that many find enriching.
Swann's torrid, tortured and tormented love for Odette sends him
agitatedly hunting for her all over Paris without knowing where she is.
It will seem agonizingly poignant or just stupidly childish depending
on who you are. It almost breaks him as a human being, makes him cease
to care about the arts. It is characterized from beginning to end by an
intense and self-destructive jealousy, which was clearly the main
ingredient of romantic passion as Proust knew it. Or at any rate
essential to the survival of passion. His jealousy disappears only with
his love... when they get married.
This prefigures what is going to be the narrator's own experience of
love, the 'senseless desire' to 'possess' another person exclusively,
the only interesting thing that can ever momentarily enliven our lives
which, in his Schopenhauerian vision, are necessarily split between
periods of pain and boredom. It is only in the crucible of unassuaged
desire that the would-be lover can discover the truths about his own
character. And what (momentary) joy at the discovery that one is loved!
Alas it's also a climax: the moment when Swann is kissed by Odette in
the carriage as he leans over to pin a cattleya orchid in her
cleavage. (A fashion in 1883 - see Manet's Bar at the Folies Bergere).
>From then on 'faire cattleya' becomes their private baby-talk for
making love.
It's all downhill from there. First there is an anonymous letter
confirming his certainty (despite Odette's denials) that she too is one
of Sappho's daughters - good grief, she is even supposed to have had a
fling with Mme Verdurin. Then there is Swann's realisation that when
she is absent from him the only time he is not tortured by doubts
about her fidelity is when she is with his friend Charlus.
Love is the brief triumph of imagination over common sense. Swann
comes to his senses and is cured of love, but marries her nonetheless
so that he can adore their child Gilberte as a work of art.
Swann's Way is concluded by a brief third part called "Noms de pays",
a title that hints at the disappointment the young narrator is
constantly to experience as he grows up, discovering that the places
and people whose names are so magic to him are all pretty equally
boring or corrupt when you get to know them. We return to the present
tense of Combray, but the narrator walking down the Allee des Acacias
where Swann rode with Odette, now sees only cars and motorbikes around
him and passively laments the passing of the years. Here he is just
nostalgic and sentimental. The places that we colourlessly remember are
really only moments of time, and 'houses, roads and avenues are as
fleeting as the years'.
This is the state he is going to be in as he mulls over photos of his
old friends at the start of the film, before he has his sudden
revelations that set him frantically writing to salvage the story
before his own death.
The second volume of the novel is called 'Within a Budding Grove' and
is the story of his adolescence and first encounters with girls. Dunno
what he'd have made of the title. If you can think of a better
translation for _A l'Ombre des jeunes filles en fleur_, tell Penguin
who have commissioned a new translation.
It starts by returning to the disappointment theme. Thanks to the
extraordinarily pompous diplomat, a common-place bore and
self-caricature, Norpois, he at long last he gets himself taken to the
theatre to see La Berma. What a disappointment: she doesn't seem to
'act' half as much as the rest of the cast. The boy can't understand
what people see in her. And at last he meets Bergotte: but he too is a
nondescript little man with no small-talk.
Later he is going to learn that genius is not linked to general culture
or even intelligence. The dull Dr Cottard, for example, is going to turn out
to be an extraordinary diagnostician beacause he notes symptoms that
others overlook.
Excitement comes with love. It starts in the gardens of the
Champs-Elysees, where as a teenager he is allowed to play by himself
and starts to get to know Gilberte and her friends (and Swann, her
father). He childishly feigns indifference to stimulate her interest,
and writes her long letters... to no avail. After a couple of years
this puppy-love dies out.
However the bulk of the volume deals mainly with long family summer
holidays at the seaside, always spent at the Normandy village of Balbec
with its 'petit train', a transposition of the chic little resort of
Cabourg, near Deauville. It is there, at the Grand Hotel that the
family spent their seaside holiday one summer in his late teens.
Idolaters can still visit it and even book the Proust family
apartments. Not exactly Fawlty Towers by any means, quite posh in fact,
but with decidedly eccentric staff: a manager famous for his
malapropisms, a manipulative head waiter, a memorable lift-boy. He is
going to return there many times.
The guests are an odd selection too: Mme de Villeparisis, his granny's
old friend, and the Marquis de Cambremer, a son-in-law of Legrandin,
their snobbish neighbour in Combray. Did I mention that Mme de
Villeparisis is having an affair with Norpois? Prolly not, and the
narrator himself only finds out later.
Thanks to them the family extend their links with the aristocracy.
Above all, the narrator meets Robert, the Marquis de Saint-Loup, who is
going to become his best friend. First impressions are deceiving
(always, and everywhere, according to Proust, for all things and people
are in permanent flux). Beneath a haughty exterior Saint-Loup turns out
to the most democratic and friendly of chaps, intelligent,
enthusiastic, kind, interested in Proudhon and Nietzsche. He is so far
up the scale of nobility that he has no need to be snobbish - that is
something that need plague only social climbers the insecure.
He also meets his amazing uncle, the strange Baron Charlus, Swann's
friend, whose secretiveness and mood swings are going to remain
inexplicable for another couple of volumes.
It is Saint-Loup who takes the narrator to a brothel for the first
time. He himself confesses to being exploited by an unworthy mistress,
an actress who is taking advantage of his money. (We don't learn that
she is the to-be-famous Rachel until later.)
At Balbec he meets the artist Elstir (an amalgamation of Monet and
Paul Helleu) and discovers some of his secrets, finding joy in the
shapes and colours of simple things. More importantly, in the summer
before their baccalaureat he discovers girls. He meets Andree and
Gilberte and their friends. Especially the dark-haired Albertine, who
intrigues him and who is later to become the object of his obsessive
and jealous adoration. He likes her boyishness, the fact that she rides
a bike, plays golf and uses slang. He even tries in a drunken passion
to give her his first kiss... but she rings for help and flattens him.
But then at first he also likes Andree, and is jealous of the girls'
friendships with each other, wondering whether they are the sign of
some greater intimacy. Dr Cottard doesn't help when he comments on
Andree and Albertine's breasts touching as they dance together.
It is important to remember that transpositions are going on. Someone
pointed out that the key women in the narrator's life all have female
versions of boy's names. Perhaps not a coincidence. It's certainly true
that Proust's Italian chauffeur, Alberto Agostinelli, was his close
companion in his latter years.
I recall one hilarious episode where the teenagers are lying on the
beach discussing past exam questions. They argue about model answers to
the French paper. Take a subject like: Write a letter from Sophocles to
Racine congratulating him on the success of Athalie. How should one
begin it? "Dear Colleague" someone suggests. "Cher jeune homme" says
another, pointing out that he's nearly 2000 years younger.
But eventually the summer ends and autumn comes and the narrator
returns to his disappointment and disillusions.
[Right - that's 2 volumes down. Five more next issue then we can get
to the book of the film?]
3. READERS' LETTERS
-------------------
Having been gone long enough for a complete change of blood to have
occurred among the student body at Lancaster, your sabbatical election
report brought a host of unfamiliar names into my mailbox, situated
hard by West Ham Municipal Baths.
Interested to see what sort of person has won my old job, I decided to
visit the LUSU website to find out about this Rory Daly chap. His
manifesto lists membership of various 'never-a-dull-moment' committees:
Union Council, F&GP, Equal Opps, etc. Nowhere, however, does he mention
anything about actual writing/editing experience. Has he managed to win
the job without ever contributing a word to the paper or is he hiding
his light under a bushel?
I await illumination on this issue eagerly.
Louis Barfe
---------------------------
All this talk of Proust made me finally decide to go back and read the
novel again -- all of it, this time, of course, even the bits in the
middle I only ever pretended to have read the first time (hmm, actually
about three volumes' worth, I think). So I returned to my
long-cherished Folio editions from my student days.
Alas! Like the older Marcel's acquaintances, they had not aged well.
Spines broken, glue split, pages detached or even missing. The
universal fate of the broche/ binding.
This has begun a quest I am now following with near-obsession, which
is to find a hardback set of the work which has already changed my life
once. Not, one would have thought, such a hard thing to do -- but the
Pleiade edition is horribly pricy (forty quid a volume), and moreover
now comes with more than twice as many pages as necessary, because you
get all the sketchbooks (and, I think, a less useful since more
scholarly introduction).
The old 1954 Pleiade with Andre Maurois' preface seems no longer
obtainable. There's a nice students' edition from Robert Laffont, but
only in paperback, I think. The Folio and Flammarion paperbacks will
have disintegrated before I have regained Time.
So what am I to do? Is there an edition I don't know about, is there a
source for the old 3-volume Pleiade, is there an amazing source of
French language books in London somewhere? Of all the novels ever
written, this must be the stupidest one to own in paperback.
Ah, well. Advice awaited. I'm really enjoying your whizz through the
book in Inkytext, by the way. Proust must somewhere write of the
unexpected joy of finding someone else who shares the same opinion
about a book, although it probably only gives the illusion of having
genuine knowledge of another's mind...

[NOTE: If you mean in French, in print and in hardback, I think the
answer is prolly no. There was a luxury bookclub illustrated edition a
few years /decades ago but that would be more expensive than the
Pleiade. It should be possible to find a second-hand Maurois Pleiade in
Paris or South Kensington. Has to be admitted that novels in hardback
are not very French.
In English things are a bit better. A six-volume American edition exists
and the reference for the 3rd volume is
Marcel Proust, D. J. Enright (Editor), C Scott Moncrieff
Hardcover - 834 pages Revised edition Vol 003 (January 1993)
Modern Library; ISBN: 0679600280 ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.94 x 7.54 x 4.99
It must combine 2 volumes twice. You can get it from an American
online bookstore. (Ed.)]
