„Erdély-re-prezentációk”. Történetek az aranykorról
Transylvanian Re-presentations

Summary/Abstract: In my study I examine Andrea Tompa’s novel entitled “The Hangmen’s House” in the light of transition narratives, highlighting the following aspects: How do the geo-cultural specificities, the border tensions of alterities influence the poetics of memory? How is the transition from ritual coherence to textual coherence represented, how is it textualised? To what extent are the language of objects and the language of concepts determining from the viewpoint of understanding the novel, are they comprehensible also for those who live outside the social and spatial perspective of the novel, heavily relying on geo-cultural bonds?
