RETICENCE AND MYSTIC EXALTATION IN LUCIAN BLAGA’S DRAMATURGY
RETICENCE AND MYSTIC EXALTATION IN LUCIAN BLAGA’S DRAMATURGY

Summary/Abstract: The present study briefly illustrates the transition from the imagery disputed by the literary critics of the first Blaga’s poetry volumes to the metaphysical dimension, unspoken, which continued also in his dramaturgy. The conflict between the significant and the signified can be also noticed in the use of “the reticence”, while deciphering the literary texts. In this regard, “the reticence” does not have only the characteristics of a figure of construction and thinking, but also the capacity to emphasize the message of the modern discourse through “silence”, “inference”, “non-expression” – pragmatic concepts. Therefore, the philosopher, doubled by the poet is capable of transforming any empty and abstract concept into a vision idea. As a consequent, our research develops the path initiated by Blaga’s poetry with reference to the non-word, a concept which can be also found in his dramaturgy. This is not the opposite of silence, on the contrary, together they denote the hidden tension of the human being which can be found in the relation with the names of things (ónoma) and their being (ón).
