Hiperinvestirea eului prin limbaj („Enciclopedia zmeilor” de Mircea Cărtărescu)
Hyperinvesting the self through language(„Enciclopedia zmeilor”the Encyclopaedia of Dragons by Mircea Cărtărescu)

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the present study is to analyze the work “Enciclopedia zmeilor”/“The Encyclopedia of the Dragons”, belonging to MirceaCărtărescu, from a narcissistic perspective, defined as the ensemble of the expressive facts of language and the collective variables, through which the lyrical conscience develops a reflexive and reflective attitudinal, that favors both the self-view and the self-discovering. Therefore, for us, the narcissistic style refers to the acts of language, but also to the ones of culture, to images in which the word is auto-reflected. On the other hand, postmodernism determines the hyper-investing of the self, its enhancement through language. Re-dimensioning the self and the world supposed a reconstruction of both the terms of equation, through a re-interpretation and reuse of the known-ones in a secret cipher and through a fabulous upheavel. Our approach is just partially connected to the contemporary researches on the postmodernist style and language (Rodica Zafiu, Mihaela Mancaş, Emilia Parpală, Carmen Popescu, Florentina Sâmihăian). We try to motivate the hypothesis that places Mircea Cărtărescu’s work under the sign of the poetics of the double and, in this case, under the urge of a revertible double (Michel Morel), concerning the creation of a spectral step founded on a narcissistic style.
