Summary/Abstract: A poet of the postmodernist group of the 80s, Magda Cârneci has published in 2011 her first novel, FEM, an “autofiction” – as she labels it – which confesses experiences and moods of growing femininity. Through its visionary and imagistic elements, the novel is very much indebted to the doubovskian autofictional pattern and request a reading closely related to a spiritual biography designed by the recurrent symbols, obsessive images and poetic discourse. Its adherence to the autofictional rhetoric sustain the authenticity project through biographical identifications which patterns a dynamic identity symbolically mapped through the constants of the feminine writing: corporeality, exploration of sexuality, fracture of the self. On the other hand, these constants tend to turn the discourse into a stereotype of the feminine writing. From this point of view, the present study aims at analyzing the dynamic between the authentic expression of the feminine nature and the social, cultural and linguistic stereotypes.
