Istorii, urme, falsuri. Obiecte desuete în literatura română şi central-est-europeană
Stories, Traces and Forgeries. Obsolete Objects in Romanian and Central-East European Fiction

Summary/Abstract: The present article will investigate the functions that objects play in Central and East-European fiction, especially when placed in relation with the subjective apprehension of reality (both factual and imaginary). Focusing on some fictional samples that may prove a good starting point for rethinking such concepts as trace, reference, personal and collective memory, the article aims, in effect, at revealing the complicity between things, stories, and history’s unresolved legacies.
