PROZA ANALITICĂ A LUI ROMULUS RUSAN – ÎN CĂUTAREA PROPRIEI IDENTITĂȚI
ROMULUS RUSAN`S ANALYTICAL PROSE – IN SEARCH OF HIS OWN IDENTITY

Summary/Abstract: The short prose from the two volumes The Dew and The Frost (1982) and Temporary Causes (1983) include epic fragments that belong to the psychological analysis prose and critical-realist texts that attempt to capture the usual, plain daily facts of life. From a subjective perspective and with a psychological theme, the writings constitute an attempt to uncover the deep ideal identity of a lucid and contemplative subject. The author probes the most profound inner world using narrative techniques like introspection, self-analysis, self-doubling, and the alternating reality and surreality.Knowledge acquiring characters try to discover their own unique and immutable identity by transcending the identity changes provoked by the passing of time and by the experiences and constraints of a socialist totalitarian society. The purpose of such analytical undertaking is that of identifying the countless possibilities of psychological analysis prose to uncover the structure of psychological world. The literature meets with psychology, philosophy (Bergson) and psycho-analysis (Freud, Storr) in order to transform artistic obsessions, aspirations, inner dilemmas and to reveal subconscious manifestations like dreaming and revelation. By using psychological analysis, contextualization and comparative literary analysis, one is identifying the features of modern reflexive prose with philosophical accents in some texts of the two short prose volumes entitled The Other, The Eye, Still Nature, The Plate with Memories (The Dew and the Frost), Dream Telephone, and Eternal Moment (Temporary Causes).
