In Joseph Malègue’s novel Augustine or the Master is Here, published in 1933, synaesthesia has a crucial role in the functioning of memory and in the shaping of human being’s situation in time. The synaesthetic memory, built upon synaesthetic experiences, is understood as a global memory determined by unified senses of vision, smell, taste, hearing and touch, inextricably connected to involuntary memory. As Malègue’s treatment of memory bears a strong resemblance to that of Marcel Proust in his cycle In Search of Lost Time, the synaesthetic memory in the novel is constituted by three main elements: the eternity of the main protagonist’s childhood memories, unified by the memorable smell of hay; the search of the absolute by the characters; and finally, the mystical experiences called “ecstasies of memory”. The latter determine moments comparable to an illumination, when the involuntary memory turns up out of an unexpected event or a stimulation of a particular sense. The article offers a close reading of three main experiences constituting the “ecstasies of memory” in the novel Augustine or the Master is Here: the phenomena of roses and Liszt’s rhapsody, linked with the protagonist’s love to his almost-fiancée Anne de Préfailles; the Font-Sainte chapel, which marks his first religious experience ; and finally, the pilgrimage to a place called also Font-Sainte, which reappears in the novel, becoming its leitmotiv and the buckle of the protagonist’s identity.

As a fine observer of human psychology, Maupassant now goes even further. He plunges into the unconscious and the mystery of psyche. Maupassant’s inquiry is at work in the short story “Sauvée” narrating an episode of triggering involuntary sensory memory. The author leads us to an examination of the mechanics of forced sensual memory retrieval as a manoeuvre used in a manipulative seduction scheme. The amusing effect of the seemingly simple anecdotal storyline conceals the depth of meaning that surpasses the simplicity of the anecdote. This article discusses the way in which the provoked memory recollection scenes are depicted, by looking at how meaning is conveyed through a network of various psycho-sociocultural ‘factors’ at play: the sphere of senses involving sensory and sensual systems participation, impulsive behaviour, sociocultural context and the influence of relevant scientific theories known in 19th century France, while Maupassant’s writing style and technique give the text its complexity.

Connaisseur de la psychologie humaine, Maupassant va plus loin encore : il se lance dans l’exploration de l’inconscient en s’interrogeant sur des zones obscures du psychisme. Le conte « Sauvée » inscrit ce questionnement au cœur de la représentation de la mémoire sensorielle involontaire. Le récit mettant en intrigue le ressouvenir sensuel, sollicité à des fins de séduction manipulatrice, l’effet anecdotique de l’aventure rocambolesque masque des niveaux de complexité du sens dépassant la légèreté de l’anecdote. Cet article examine la façon dont le texte travaille les scènes de ressouvenir qui s’articulent en interrelation entre la sphère des sens, le sensoriel et le sensuel, le comportement impulsif, les facteurs socioculturels et l’actualité scientifique, formant un réseau complexe dont les modalités de l’écriture maupassantienne approfondissent le sens.
