“Involuntary Memory: Marcel Proust and the Poetic Discovery of the Inner Self. An Analysis from the Philosophical Perspective of Walter Benjamin”. In this article, we undertake, from the perspective of Walter Benjamin’s philosophical work, the phenomenon of involuntary memory discovered by Marcel Proust in the writing process –exercise of subjectification– of In Search of Lost Time (1908-1922). In the analysis the following approaches are developed: the relation between oblivion and memory (from Sigmund Freud, Henri Bergson and Charles Baudelaire), the poetic discovery of involuntary memory (in relation to the qualities of profane illumination), the conditions for the revelation of mnemic images –images of the inner world– (the ancient and medieval predecessors and the surrealist contemporaries), the recovery of the lost time and of the narration in the novel, and the auratic character of the involuntary memory’s images.
