Summary/Abstract: We discover, quite late, that between numbers, rocks, between cultures, nations, remains a space that is hard to fill. But at the same time it is a space continuously opened towards the culture of the other, a space of the otherness, a mixed space at the spiritual meeting point of the author’s / character’s / reader’s culture and the foreign culture of the other. It is a space of identity consonance but especially dissonance with different / altered aspects of the multiple-linguistic socio-verbal consciousness that surrounds the object (the literary discourse) while at the same time insinuates into the axiological horizon of the reader-subject. We shall support the fact that this is a mixed context, full of problematic questions that relate to awaited answers, as well as of objections of the other, a space of border and living dialogue between history and other possible worlds of meaning. This space-time is marked in our speech or common discourse by the prefix “inter-” (-cultural, ethnic) and we propose some old and new reflection themes starting from significant fragments from the works of I. Slavici and M. Eliade.
