The Mythology of Horses and the Rewriting of Tales: Florin Bican’s Și v-am spus povestea așa. Aventurile cailor năzdrăvani rememorate de ei înșiși

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to investigate how the tale as a highly standardised species of the folklore inventory reveals its rewriting potential in Florin Bican’s view. Among the common practices, which generally focus on recontextualising subjects, his volume, Și v-am spus povestea așa. Aventurile cailor năzdrăvani rememorate de ei înșiși, illustrates a particular direction, that of revealing, in a puzzle-tale, the genuine intertextuality of tales, which can reduce all such tales to a single one that deals with the common root of good and evil. The mutations that this rewriting operates occur in language – a current, uninhibited and ludic-intertextual language – and in the recentring of meanings introduced by the shift from the traditional concrete, yet symbolical, imagery to a conceptual and spiritual mapping of the human, in which the function of the tale is decisive.
