Marcel Proust\u2019s canonic text Swann\u2019s Way that tackles how an artist\u2019s understanding of their inner self can be both in tune with and at odds with the world around them. Much of my analysis focuses on unraveling how an artist attempts to remember their own past, and how this proves to be inseparably linked to specific objects \u2013 all of which Proust uncovers and complicates in his meditation on how memory functions. I worked to integrate my semester-long research on linguistics, architecture, aesthetics, and sociological theories on class to further explore how Proust\u2019s philosophy on art and memory takes place within a tumultuous relationship between the social world and the interior mind.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8d94f54 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8d94f54\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3b27ee56\" data-id=\"3b27ee56\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27c11b74 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"27c11b74\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-6661\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-6661\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">About Bella<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-6661\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-6661\"><p><b>What is your major and expected year of graduation?<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: var(--color_content_background)\">Major: English.

The act of reading, but even more so, attempting to articulate the complex ideas at play in this text with my mentor and peers, really inspired me during my research and bolstered my passion for the project over the course of the semester.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;font-size: var(--typography_size_html);background-color: var(--color_content_background)\">What does winning this award mean to you? <\/b><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );font-size: var(--typography_size_html);background-color: var(--color_content_background)\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: var(--color_content_background)\">The Livingstone Award is an incredible honor. Having recently graduated and still in search of the next step of my journey, this award came to me as a special reminder of the lessons and resources I gained at Temple in class and in research. This award prompted me to re-examine my project, which I am very proud of, but also to reflect more broadly on my intellectual development in academia over the years. As a writer and researcher, it is humbling and thrilling to realize that my work is being read and recognized by esteemed educators. I am so appreciative to receive this award; it is deeply validating, especially for this specific project that was without a doubt the most invigorating academic endeavor I embarked on while at Temple.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;font-size: var(--typography_size_html);background-color: var(--color_content_background)\">How did the Libraries support your research?<\/b><\/p><p>Charles Library was always a sanctuary for me while studying at Temple, and in this specific research project the Libraries became that and more. Whether it was perusing the stacks, examining the sources from the BookBot, or sifting through the seemingly limitless academic articles and encyclopedias digitally, the experience of researching helped me filter a very expansive topic and find my niche within it. I ended up encountering indispensable sources from each of these facets of the Libraries\u2019 capabilities. I also vividly remember consulting with a few librarians, as well as my professor, Dr. Joshi, on specific sources I gained from the Libraries that would then aid me in the task of assembling numerous moving parts and putting it on paper in my own words. The Libraries helped me find various academic conversations on Proust and led me towards feeling confident enough to place my ideas in conversation with them.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-31ccd985 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"31ccd985\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-29924c60\" data-id=\"29924c60\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c914a17 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"6c914a17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1821\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1821\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">From Bella's faculty advisor<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1821\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1821\"><p>Writing about the French novelist Marcel Proust became especially urgent during the COVID-19 pandemic when it seemed that all memories of the past, all relationships in the present, and all anticipations of a future had vanished beyond recall.&nbsp; In a timely and brilliantly crafted essay, Bella Sophia Baldini shows how Proust\u2019s Swann\u2019s Way (1913) offers a \u201cSanctuary of Remembrance\u201d (the subtitle of her prize-winning submission) insistent on retrieving a lost time.&nbsp; Bella\u2019s perceptive research vividly reveals how Proust\u2019s novel cycle captures a land-owning bourgeoisie in its twilight years; a settled French village turning its back on an implacable modernity; and a landscape of medieval church steeples and hawthorn bushes where an entire community\u2019s history is embedded.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: var(--color_content_background);color: var( --e-global-color-text );font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;font-size: var(--typography_size_html);font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight )\">Like Proust, whose method roved restlessly across memories, places, and things (the madeleine!) in order to reclaim the past and envision a future, Bella\u2019s research skillfully weaves architectural analyses by the Victorian critic, John Ruskin; biography by Edmund White; and sociology by Walter Benjamin.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );font-size: var(--typography_size_html);background-color: var(--color_content_background)\">Ostensibly about Proust, Bella\u2019s submission is so much more:&nbsp; it\u2019s about how everyday experiences redeem individuals, how private histories resonate with public ones, and how memory is both a ritual and a duty that humanists perform for their cultures.&nbsp; In naming Bella Baldini winner of the 2023-2024 Livingstone Prize for Research in the Humanities, Temple honors a most gifted writer.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;font-size: var(--typography_size_html);background-color: var(--color_content_background)\">\u2014<\/b><span style=\"background-color: var(--color_content_background)\"><b>Priya Joshi<\/b><b style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;font-size: var(--typography_size_html);font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight )\">,<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );font-size: var(--typography_size_html);background-color: var(--color_content_background)\">&nbsp;Professor,&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"background-color: var(--color_content_background)\">College of Liberal Arts<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-18ab7a24 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"18ab7a24\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4857441a\" data-id=\"4857441a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3da94a5 elementor-alert-info elementor-widget elementor-widget-alert\" data-id=\"3da94a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"alert.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-alert\" role=\"alert\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-alert-title\">About the Award in Humanities<\/span>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-alert-description\"><br>This category covers research methods in the humanities (in both traditional and digital forms).
