Summary/Abstract: In this paper , we aim to explore and discuss how space is related to the postmodern body, to its sensations, perceptions and representations, starting from a corpus of poetic works of the generation 2000 (Elena Vlădăreanu’s Private Space, and Marius Ianuş’ Out with the Smurfs from the Factory!). The issue of spatial and corporal language and representation in postmodern Romanian Poetry must be understood from the perspective of definition and analysis of spaces and bodies in the chosen corpus of study which allows us an orientation of the research by multiple approaches of the semantics of space and body: a typology of the representations of space and body and of the peculiarities of spatial architecture with these postmodern poets; the analysis of spatial and corporal representations as they are conceived by the poets; the analysis of ways of inhabiting real and imaginary spaces by the lyrical instances in the chosen corpus.
