SUBVERSION, IRONY AND PARODY IN THE WORK OF MARIN SORESCU

Summary/Abstract: A relevant component of Marin Sorescu's poetics is the playful one, with spectacular accents. The space and time of the game sum up the gratuitousness of the events, representing a carnivalesque direction of their unfolding, in a spirit of bliss and unproblematicness, even if subtextually one can intuit a semantism of gravity, a metaphysical semitone. The Sorescian ludic involves a combination of the unusual and the ordinary, solemnity and banter, the emphasis being shifted from the problematic to the derisory and gratuitous, in frustrated language and familiar discourse. Marin Sorescu retranscribes myths and problematizes emotions, revealing the poetic meanings of the world, in a mixture of fantasy, irony and playfulness, with mimed gravity and "solemn" meaning, in a mixture of buffoonery and sublimity, resulting in the ambiguity and depth of his apparently anecdotal verses, reduced to banter and theatricality.
