Summary/Abstract: The 1980s environments and the categories of the marginal, specific to the reality of the 70s-80s, are made up of characters who testify to existential drift and serious slippages generated by identity crises. These are "metaleptic characters": nomads - commuters, drivers, tourists, marginal characters - the orphan, the hero, the bohemian, the rebel, the dislocated being. Understanding the rhizomatic subject not only as a multitude of selves that defines the being, but also as its dispersion in the objects with which it comes into contact, as the passage of some complementary identity paths, I opted for the illustration of this category by referring to a series of metaleptic characters, fictional constructions that cross Nedelciu's work, in a becoming that can be associated with a series. The configuration of the self is done against a cultural and social background, the intimate body refuses to be verbalized, the fixed identity is eluded. Lacking the consciousness of belonging to a matrix place, the characters cross different spaces in search of a denied meaning of existence.
