O hartă posibilă: de la spațiul real la cel ficțional. Cazul romanului rebrenian
A possible map: from real to fictional space. The case of Rebreanu’s Novels

Summary/Abstract: This article provides an alternative to the observation and analysis of Rebreanu’s fiction with the extension of conclusions to the configuration of South-East Europe literature, using the map as a parallel world. The development of the novel in the Romanian culture, at the beginning of the 20th century, prompted by the sociopolitical circumstances, occurred by a constant relation to the European cultural space and to a native mental spatial model, thus leading to a unique narrative experience. The actual necessity of this type of research is suggested by the contemporary experience; the contemporary man is at risk of losing the essential points of reference as a cultural, social, political being, and even the idea of belonging to humanity, while the mapping of a national literary space, by closely following an algorithm imposed from the very beginning, becomes a compass in the process of literary/ cultural/ mindset paradigm redefinition. We discuss the real map transposed in a fictional text, namely Rebreanu’s novel „Forest of the Hanged”.
