LE CENTON, LA SATIRE MÉNIPPÉE ET LE COLLAGE, REPÈRES ARCHITEXTUELS DANS LE POSTMODERNISME ROUMAIN*
The patchwork, the Menippean satire and the collage, architextual references in Romanian postmodernism

Summary/Abstract: Starting from the commonplace that postmodernism challenges standard generic distinctions, I argue that the cento (a type of quotational genre inherited from Late Antiquity), the Menippean satire and the collage (with another surrealist version called “cadavre exquis”) are three architextual components of Simona Popescu’s heteroclite opus called Green Care Works or My Plea for Poetry (2006). Repères Architextuels Dans Le Postmodernisme Roumain* All these three sub-genres are intertextual and interdiscursive configurations, generating dialogism and polyphony. In my article, the issue of genre is approached mainly from a pragmatic perspective. In Simona Popescu’s book, the reader is invited to recognize and enjoy the profusion of intertextual devices displayed by her (meta)poetic postmodern experiment.
