FROM Gh. CRÃCIUN'S GALLERY OF DESENZITIZED BEINGS: THE ”ETHEREAL” WOMEN AND THE IRREDUCIBLE CORPOREALITY

Summary/Abstract: This article discusses Gheorghe Craciun’s posthumous, unfinished novel - Femei albastre ("Blue Women"), a work that completes the series of his previous writings by topping off the gallery of damaged, hopeless characters and displaying the supra-theme of Vision, as well as various openings towards sensuality, eroticism, somatic exploration, film and photographic art. Persistently handling the camera throughout the text, Gheorghe Crăciun embodies a fanatic collector of images who chaotically presses down the shutter button just to collect shallow, hasty snapshots from the life stories of several characters. Inside the shell of the novel, just like an archivist of female bodies, the protagonist inventories all his adventures, whose stories are every so often brought to light by wiping away the dust of time. Summoned by memory, the female characters gain corporeality in the very process of storytelling, being injected with the author’s "syringes of metaphysics".
