Summary/Abstract: The illusions that Tudor Arghezi creates are born within the text, one that changes permanently according to the interest of the reader. From this point of view, Tablets from the Land of Kuty experiments with pamphlet, combining the social with the lack of rules and withsatire. The text becomes the illusion of a ruled society that is devoid of principles. Set free from any constraint, the pamphlet offers its readers the monstrous and trivial element, requesting ex negativo the respect of vital structures. In the Land of Kuty the universe wavers between the impossible and the irregular. The automatisms invade everything. The city where the three arrive is weird; the inhabitants change everything at regular time intervals. The absurd situations define a space of constraints, in which the social element becomes a starting point for a possible construction of a negative utopia.
