Alice Voinescu sau mutaţiile de percepţie asupra destinatarului
ALICE VOINESCU or the mutations in the perception of the addressee

Summary/Abstract: The article is intended as an analysis of Alice Voinescu’s diary from the perspective of the author’s relationship with the reader, as well as with the addressee – characters of the diary that are rarely identical. In Alice Voinescu’s diary the addressees are a few feminine characters clearly identified in the very beginning of the diaristic approach, who will become readers of the diary only after the diarist’s demise. Readers are as well all those who had the opportunity to read Alice Voinescu’s diary after its publication, yet these readers are not characters of the diary, and the discussion in this article gravitates around the author, the addressee and the reader as characters within the diary. From this perspective, the element of novelty is the mutation the external reader perceives with regard to the change of the addressee of the private notes, their tone and, to some extent, their structure: the addressee is now the dead husband, and the preferred structure of the notes is that of the epistle within which very affectionate language is used, radically opposite to the language used by the diarist when describing her husband while he was still alive. At a secondary level, the article approached the diary from the point of view of the fidelity of observing the rules of honesty, of secrecy and of the calendar.
