THE ARTISTIC TRANSFIGURATION OF THE COSMOGONIC HTONIAN ELEMENT IN THE ROMANIAN PROSE OF BESSARABIA

Summary/Abstract: Reported being at the artistic literary discourse, the intertextuality of the cosmogonic elements in the message of the Romanian prose of the sixties writers in Bessarabia shades the interleaving of the ancestral meanings of the four natural phenomena: water, fire, earth and air. The fact is realizing by the absorption and transformation of the discursive code (Julia Kristeva) in the process of constituting an artistic text, based on the assembly of a set of mythical, ethnofolkloric signs attributed to the universal constituents of nature by the popular mentality. In this study, we chose to reveal the range of artistic assimilation and transfiguration of an element that participates in the cosmogonic act of constitution of the universe: the earth.The Earth segment represents the universal substance, the primordial chaos that emerges from the germinal waters, is the matter from which God created man. In connection with the aquatic element, it obtains positive qualities. At the same time, in the Romanian symbolism, the earth gets a bad connotation when it assigned to the world „from beyond".
