Abstract

The contribution analyses the metaphor of layers of memory in the precise moment of its creation, viz. at the beginning of the 19th century, in the works of Chateaubriand. Subsequently one can observe how its appropriation by the memorialist corresponds to a transformation of his conception of history during the Revolution of 1830. This transformation in his relation to time coincides with the “actualist” thesis of Lyell: this does not necessarily hint at a causal connection but rather at one of those synchronicities which are the possible basis of a global history of the models of thought.
