Summary/Abstract: The present research, made from a literary, psychoanalytic and phenomenological perspective, brings to the foreground the case of the post-communist writer Gabriela Adameșteanu and the universe of her characters, created through the dialectics of language and the particular manner in which every fictional world is built, her genesis being in the constraints imposed by the traumatic experience to which the writers of the communist totalitarian regime have been subjected, especially at ideological and identitary level. In all of the epic discourses over which I have leaned on in this research, it can be seen the transformations of fictionalization manners after visiting the geography of memory - as I called the return to the remembrance of the painful past. The Confrontation has literally materialized through metamorphoses of the discourse, the fiction taking on the attributes of the explored topos, while the author frees itself, thus producing the metamorphoses of the past: of time, of running away, of body identity, of migration or of trauma.
