Emil Botta: Constructing Identity Through Discourse

Summary/Abstract: Establishing Emil Botta's identity in a way that facilitates the reception of the self is a challenge, because a writer's identity is a complex set of interrelated voices. With regard to the connection between the self and the other, it is important to observe how it is achieved and, above all, how it is received. The main means of conveying the distance between the self and its otherness is discourse. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the construction of the self's identity through the different types of discourse that Emil Botta uses for both his personal and literary identity, such as journalistic, narrative, poetic, theatrical and ironic discourse. For the identity of the writer, we will refer to interviews given to the press at the time, and for the identity of the narrator, we will use the short story Un timp mai prielnic (A More Favourable Time) from the volume Trântorul (The Drifter).
