TOPOSUL LA ION EREMIA ÎN „GULLIVER ÎN ŢARA MINCIUNILOR”
The Topos in Ion Eremia’s ‘Gulliver in The Land of Lies’

Summary/Abstract: We intend to analyse the dystopia imaginary space from Ion Eremia’s Gulliver in The Land of Lies (Gulliver in Tara Minciunilor). It is a space where the relationships between characters are established at a game level, where the start point is the idea that every individual possess a personal activity sphere to move and act, „la bulle phénoménologique”. Starting from Jonathan Swift’s novels, Ion Eremia is building a utopia, but not a regressive swiftian dystopia, because Lemuel Gulliver does not meet a population with an inherited monstrosity borrowed from the medieval teratology, instead a rational population living a big lie, caged by a totalitarian regime. Gulliver does not live in Kukunia a feeling of superiority as in Lilliput, nor one of inferiority as in Brobdingnag; he is living a continuous state of amazement.
