ZOGRU. VAMPIRIC HYPOSTASES AND IDENTITARY DECONSTRUCTION

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this research is to analyse the intriguing figure of Zogru, the eponymous charachter of Doina Ruști’s novel. Unlike the vampires from the traditional culture, this quasi-vampire, rather a spirit than a monstrous appearance, Zogru is the perfect sample of his creator’s type of fantastic. Humanized, caught between history and time, the green spirit deconstructs the viral image of the blood-addicted Dracula, showing that even a spectral presence can be a part of the world’s mesmerizing creation. Zogru is not afrid of garlic or of the sing of the cross, but the only element of the fantastic prop that is able to punish him is the platan wood. The narrative and imaginary economy of this novel is easily attached to the magical realism, fictional frame that allows literature to live between reality and phantasy.
