Metatextualitate în opera Marianei Marin şi a Magdei Cârneci
Meta-textuality in Mariana Marin’s and Magda Carneci’s Work

Summary/Abstract: The appearance in the eighties of a new literary paradigm determined the exegesis to find theoretical solutions in order to prevent the phenomenon which was getting a visible magnitude. Thus, various theoreticians tried to substitute the inability of relating to a new literary reality and they proposed terms, basics, concepts designed to capture as faithfully as possible the eighties phenomenon. And, this was also the case of the great academic Marin Mincu, who made all the efforts to turn a concept functional – the textualism – and to solve the need for literary theory in that age. Although the proposed concept has proved to be insufficient in order to capture the entire range of features of eighties literature, the argument that is even used by Mircea Cărtărescu in Romanian Postmodernism, the literary critic Marin Mincu has not given up to this vision, and, in his study The Romanian Poetical Experimentalism, he has proposed to apply the theory on several concrete cases. So, trying to validate the method, Marin Mincu passed through the light of his theory the work of a considerable number of eighties writers. The case of literature written by women is a particular one, because the doubt of whether or not is a form of textualism was upon it all the time, especially after the clear statements made by Nicolae Manolescu in The History of the Romanian Literature where he declares skeptical himself about the textualism of Mariana Marin’ s poetry. Therefore, the purpose of the work is to demonstrate that in the written literature of eighties women there are quadrants of textualism, but that it does not become a purpose in itself, as in the case of the written literature of men, but is only a means which the female writers put it in the service of showing the ethical principles.
