ALEXANDRU MUȘINA BETWEEN BEAT POET AND “BALNEAL GENIUS”
ALEXANDRU MUȘINA BETWEEN BEAT POET AND “BALNEAL GENIUS”

Summary/Abstract: Redefining auctoriality involves both literary and extra-literary criteria. Relying mostly on Jérôme Meizoz’s concept of posture introduced in Postures littéraires. Mises en scène modernes de l’auteur, the purpose of this article is to investigate or to (re)evaluate the ways in which the writer imposes himself on the literary scene through self-figuration, involving, at the same time, the reception process. I analysed, for instance, the different representations of Alexandru Mușina, a writer from 80s generation, from the collective corpus, defined in the group formed at Monday Literary Circle, to individual presence. I was interesed in the position of the Romanian writer during the totalitarian regime and which were the alternative ways of obtaining visibility, taking into account the influence of rock star or the influence of Beat Poets. Another point of interest was the engagement that the writer adopts after ’89, in his fiction and as a public figure.
