PAUL GOMA: THE DEACRALIZATION OF HISTORY AND THE REHABILITATION OF THE FINITUDE. BONIFACIA

Summary/Abstract: As part of an extensive study, the text aims to reveal the story of the student re-enrolled at the faculty of philology in the conditions of total and totalitarian bondage and of an irreversible imbalance of forces, in which the historic absolutism was given the absolute right to life and death. On this background, a memorial of the human community is established in the solidarity of the victims of dehumanization. Paul Goma opposes the acts of autonomy and defianceto the aim of seeking power for the sake of power, his ambition being to accept and examine precisely the lack of measure of the period. He points out its vulnerabilities and denounces its illusions, attacks its principles and kills its incarnation. The narrator opposes the personal to impersonal and gives prevail to the man. He restores his greatness, together with his universal possibilities: reflection, solidarity, the call to absolute love. For depriving the history and the effectiveness of their right of supreme judges and pleading for the reconstruction of the very existence itself, the narrative self passes into the “others”.
