TRANSGRESAREA GRANIȚELOR ȘI MULTIPLICAREA IDENTITĂȚII ÎN POVESTIRILE LUI VASILE VOICULESCU
TRANSGRESSION OF BORDERS AND MULTIPLICATION OF IDENTITY IN THE STORIES OF VASILE VOICULESCU

Summary/Abstract: Historically, magical realist narratives blend the traditions, customs, and conceptions of the ancient or traditional world with those of the modern one, and, ontologically, such texts integrate magic and material, but generally within magical realist texts the real merges with the fantastic, making the latter seem like the most ordinary element possible. The perfect combination of the real with the fantastic is most often achieved in magical realist fictions by distorting time and space, by transgressing boundaries and multiplying the identity of the characters, as it is carried out in some of the Romanian writers’ works. Together with some well-known Romanian writers, such as Mircea Eliade or Ștefan Bănulescu, Vasile Voiculescu approaches these characteristics in his prose, thus perfectly fitting into the patterns of ontological magical realism.
