MIRCEA HORIA SIMIONESCU. BETWEEN SUBLIMATION AND SIMULACRUM

Summary/Abstract: Mircea Horia Simionescu thus marks the transition from evocation to fictionalization of the ego, the truth being the result of a process of crystallization, decantation, transformation of living in and through language, the author considering that "the reality of writing and invention is stronger than the reality itself". By renouncing the principles of sincerity and spontaneity defining the intimate journal, in favor of "authenticity", the journalist wants to (re) invent himself, through an introspective approach, that no longer depends on the inconsistency of the ordinary everyday. For Mircea Horia Simionescu, the relationship between real life and the "invented" is one of equivalence, so that confessional writing, reflecting one's personal identity, gives the subject the opportunity to always appear as another and to create, in and through writing, a narrative identity, based on the continuous experimentation of otherness.
