Pentru o poetică a imaginarului: hainele femeieşti din basmul fantastic românesc
Towards a poetics of the imaginary: women’s clothes in Romanian fairy tales

Summary/Abstract: Rich in mythical elements, female clothes from Romanian tales were not mere ornaments. In theory, Romanian traditional imagery was based on the real-fictional opposition. In practice, the real and the fictional were always juxtaposed, in order to be credible and efficient. Thus, female clothes represented, in an anagogical sense, the character’s spiritual identity, and conditioned or restructured the content of epic narratives.
