Spaţiul şi timpul în basmul fantastic românesc
Space and time within Romanian fantastic folktale

Summary/Abstract: Into the folktale, space and time get special significances, because they transpose into words an ideal projection, that of the anonymous creators, who imagine the folktale as they would like the world to be. From this perspective, “Space and time within Romanian fantastic folktale” applies to folktales the theoretical ideas previously identified and it highlights some of the specific features that order the narrative construction. The space aspects, for instance, can be detailed into: real spaces, possible spaces, but which are far from the reality due to their specific nature, and spaces of the impossible. Time, on the other side, can be differentiated in segments of text which establish the time of the saying and that of the action, both of them seen in a chronological order and into micro- segments of text which are dominated by the reversing and the inversion of the usual chronology.
