MIRCEA CARTARESCU AND THE CHALLENGE OF PSYCHOANALYSIS

Summary/Abstract: This study proposes an analysis of the Mircea Cartarescuřmodalities of including psychoanalytical echoes in his novel. Closely related to sexuality, the complex of Oedip could not be absent from the psychoanalytical constellation, exhaustively manipulated by the author. Willingly, the writer places the triad mother, father, child under the Oedipian sign: Mircişor grows up together with his mother, to whom he is bound through thousands of unperceivable threads and whom he sees from a level higher than the verbal code, that of senses. The father becomes the individual who tries to tear the mother and child apart and by whom he is terribly frightened. This post-modernist Oedip manages to detach himself from the love Ŕ hatred relationship he maintains with his parents by means of an ironical-interrogative attitude, which uncovers the psychoanalytical filter of the writing.
