EROI MITICI PE SCENA CONTEMPORANEITĂȚII
MYTHICAL HEROES ON THE STAGE OF CONTEMPORANEITY

Summary/Abstract: The 20th century is marked on the literary level by the turn towards Greco-Latin mythology, through the rewriting of the myths seen as a renewal of the narrativity and as a way of calling upon the previous mythological reality. Through the method of deconstruction and reconstruction in a different historical context, with the intention of parodying and desacralizing the world of mythical heroes, contemporaneity offers a construction of images which, by exploiting the mythical stories again, in different eras, once more convince us that myths are seductive through their ability to always intrigue. Without there being an attempt at balancing the mythical reality in favour of one certain character or situation, in the true meaning of the word, in the writings of Constantin Cubleșan we can talk about postmodernism in the sense of the desire for irony, even if at a lower degree. Even though the author does not call upon the deconstruction of a myth, he places his heroes in the contemporary world, he follows the reactions of the people that meet with these heroes, not necessarily the evolution of the mythical characters, and it is here that the irony can be seen best. The transposition of the founding heroes in contemporaneity has nothing parodic, they become victims of the contemporary illiteracy, remaining misfits, worthy of pity. DOI: 10.29302/InImag.2015.6.4
