O relație dinamică la Tacitus: memorie-uitare
A Dynamic Relationship to Tacitus: Memory-Forgetting

Summary/Abstract: Considered by many scholars as the greatest writer of Latin Antiquity, Tacitus imposes himself by the force of representation of a convulsive humanity, whose altitudinal landmarks – never forgotten forever – are strongly overshadowed by a dense fabric of destructive actions and egotistical impulses. My study follows the way in which the reading of the tacit work allows the reader to follow the dynamic game of the memory-forgetfulness relationship: paradoxically, the seemingly forgotten come to order a deeply decadent humanity and give it direction, setting up an ante litteram ontology.
