CE ESTE GEOCRITICA. ÎNCERCARE DE TIPOLOGIE NARATIVĂ ROMÂNEASCĂ
WHAT IS GEOCRITIC? AN ESSAY ON ROMANIAN NARRATIVE TYPOLOGY

Summary/Abstract: Using a research tool such as geocriticism involves both the risk of reducing the way we relate to a literary text, but, on the other hand, it has an essential stake: along with the evolution of society, the conception of space was reflected in literature. With each major change of the crossed time stages, space has become a reliable witness in rendering the realities that have become narrative scenarios in the prose of writers, receptive to the social phenomenon. Our approach is built around the concept of geocriticism, but also its application to some Romanian novels published at a considerable temporal distance: from Slavici, to Camil Petrescu, G. Călinescu and Mircea Cărtărescu, each text becoming a sample of the demonstration of the functioning of the exposed method.
