STRATEGII SI EFECTE POLIFONICE ÎNTR-UN TEXT POETIC POSTMODERN*
Strategies and polyphonic effects in a postmodern poetic text

Summary/Abstract: The paper reviews several theoretical accounts of polyphony (M. Bakhtin, O. Ducrot, ScaPoLine, Authier-Revuz). Extrapolated from the musical field by Bakhtin, polyphony designated at first the presence of several voices and points of view, distinct from the narrator’s, in the novelistic discourse. Oswald Ducrot has extended the concept for linguistic purposes, giving it a central role in his enunciative theory. Other researchers (especially the Scandinavian group ScaPoLine) have further refined the model and the elements that make up the polyphonic structure: locutor, enunciators, points of view, enunciative links. In this article, the linguistic model is tested against a Romanian postmodern poem which displays intentional polyphonic effects: Caius Dobrescu’s Dear Comrades. A Speech by Nicolae Ceausescu, Allen Ginsberg & Jannis Jopplin or a Requiem for the Sixties.
