SPACE IN ILEANA MĂLĂNCIOIU’S POETRY

Summary/Abstract: Space has an essential role in Ileana Malancioiu's poetry. In order to define it, we have grounded this essay in the concepts of Gaston Bachelard of the outside and the inside. The poems in the first stage of Ileana Malancioiu's creative trajectory set their sights on excavating a space pertaining to an inside that subsumes the outside and changes its borders. There is a permanent battle between the inside and the outside that the former wishes to subjugate, birthing something that we can call an anti-territory. The heart is the core element around which a poetics of the anti-territory curdles. On the other hand, the tomes from the final part of the poet's creations place the inside under the dominion of the lack of intimacy. It is for this very reason that the latter poems of Ileana Malancioiu situate the I on the plane of exile.
