IDENTITATE ŞI ALTERITATE. EMBLEME ZOOMORFE ÎN IMAGINARUL POETIC CONTEMPORAN
IDENTITY AND ALTERITY. ZOOMORPHIC EMBLEMS IN CONTEMPORARY POETICAL IMAGINARY

Summary/Abstract: Zoomorphic symbols are found in the long history of the universal imaginary, from Homer to the modern pop culture. Their meanings changed, their influence increased or decreased in different epochs, but they still survive. In Romanian literature, contemporary poetry refuses traditional values and hierarchies. At the same time, it (theoretically) denies mythical elements and cultural references. However, the evolution of Romanian poetry during the last 10-15 years proved that the so-called „2000 generation” consists of young poets who have different views and stylistical options, so that the common identity crises is revealed in many ways. The paper focuses on two poets, Dan Coman and Teodora Coman: both chose a zoomorphic symbol (the mole) to express their identity crises, explored by means of instincts and senses (Dan Coman) or conscience and perspective (Teodora Coman).
