FEMEILE LUI CARPE DIEM. TIPOLOGIA FRIVOLEI ÎN LITERATURA SUD-EST EUROPEANĂ
THE CARPE DIEM WOMEN. THE FRIVOLOUS WOMAN IN SOUTHEAST EUROPEAN LITERATURE

Summary/Abstract: The rich imaginative world promoted by the Southeast European literature abounds in frivolous female figures, the beautiful ones touched by the same tragedy that marked this space. Part of the structure of a collective, the frivolous women are characters met with conflicting attitudes: either they are marginalized or stigmatized by society, or they are accepted, through a compromise, as a necessary evil. Mysterious, but also extroverted, they are repudiated and assimilated at the same time, thus becoming outcasts in a space dominated by an archaic worldview which rejects sexuality and, in general, any expression of femininity. Regarded as “carpe diem” women, they represent a type of femininity that lives in the moment and rejects, through attitude at least, the old-fashioned mentality of society.
