Summary/Abstract: This article aims to articulate an analysis of the figure of the poet Mariana Marin from the angle of the new postural theories, formulated by Jérôme Meizoz. If the image of Mariana Marin became an expression of the minority, of the marginal, starting with the 1980s, this is due, first of all, to a social mythology that was built around her, but also due to the overbidding of an ethical direction in her poetry. Thus, the article proposes two possible models that Mariana Marin internalized in the construction of the auctorial posture, namely Sylvia Plath and Anna Frank. Moreover, another dimension of our article investigates the behavioral portraits made by Tudor Jebeleanu, leading, willingly or not, to the strengthening of a certain direction of interpreting the figure of Mariana Marin. The intention of this paper is to propose alternatives to the way in which Mariana Marin’s poetry has been read in the last decades and to try a detachment, in the critical reception, from the recurring image of the victim of the external world.
