Ana Blandiana y los terrenos sin límites del sueño
Ana Blandiana and Her Unlimited Land of the Dream

Summary/Abstract: Between traditions and innovations, Ana Blandiana, an author censored by the last dictatorial regime but adored by the Romanian people, creates dichotomous texts that transport her readers beyond the objective reality, in an intimate world where the I is the master of everything. Deeply fantastic, her literary prose works take the form of dreamlike tales where the dream is more than a literary topos; it is the foundation on which an autofictional, existentialist and critical narrative is built, crossing, thereby, the limits established by the real world and reaching the realm of the eternal. The space and time of this intrinsic parallel world are characterised by being highly semiotic and based on the presence of key symbols responsible for capturing on a textual level the meanings of an apparently subjective, but in reality, committed discourse. Thanks to her metaphorical writing and the construction of a dream with a vegetal space and cyclical time, the author manages to situate her work in the heart of literary hybridisation, between committed literature, fantastic literature, memory literature and autofiction. Her tales and verses appear today as a map of the human being and the history of her nation.
