Descripción
Sumario:The work presents representations of education and some of the author’s school education imprints present in the novel “In Search of Lost Time” by Marcel Proust. The excerpts that mention the school or mathematical knowledge are extracted from a Brazilian edition and a French version of the work. School documents are also looked upon. The analysis takes into account the concept of school acculturation, as described by Chervel. The algebras and geometries invented by the narrator of the novel are interpreted as literary constructions through which the author evokes, in a simultaneous movement of transgression and honor, school mathematics education of his youth.
