Interferencia fikcie a histórie v literárnom diele (Ştefan Bănulescu Milionárova kniha : Kniha mesta Metopolis )
INTERFERRENCE OF FICTION AND HISTORY IN A LITERARY PIECE OF ART

Summary/Abstract: J. M. Lotman writes, that those descriptions of culture, drew according to the expressions of spatial modelling, mainly the topological expressions, may be called models of culture. Actual individual texts can thus be considered the interpretations of these models. In Ştefan Bănulescus’ novel Millionaires’ book. Book of town Metopolis (Cartea Milionarului. Cartea de la Metopolis, 1977) we interpreted the model of binary spatial orientation, that is „nurtured” by the previous historical identitary metanarrations (the term of the Romanian semiotician Monica Spiridon), dealing with the roles of town and village, as well as with the agrarian and pastoral elements in the Romanian culture. As shown in our text, historical motifs or components evoking the impression of historical relevance that occur in the piece Millionaires’ Book. Book of town Metopolis are used primarily on the grounds of compositional and narrative reasons but from another point of view, to high extent determine the ideological orientation of the novel of the given period that “by usage of parables and symbols becomes a false historical novel.” By analysis of the studied work we verified, that the cyclically repetitive themes and identitary metanarrations have the ability by the disparity of their composition, to disrupt the homogenised concepts and myths of the actual culture as well as of its history.
