FILIP FLORIAN`S NOVEL DEGETE MICI AND MAGICAL REALISM IN ROMANIAN LITERATURE

Summary/Abstract: : This paper aims at examining how prevalent of a category magical realism is in our Central-European environment. As part of a wider-scale work, it hopes to capture the results of international studies, contrast those with the viewpoints of both Hungarian and Romanian literary scholars and, thus, form a regionally recognized and internationally accepted definition for magical realism. The approach towards the genre is via postcolonial reading, however, with a certain extent of reinterpretation. The fruitful effect of the contemporary literary thinking’s centre-periphery relation might be worth using when it comes to reconsidering the genre, thus extending the international thesaurus of magical realism. By agreeing with Bényei Tamás’s views, however keeping, what is more, emphasising regional characteristics –, we stand for coming to consensus, i. e. creating a more exact and precise definition. The poetic approach then satisfies the pragmatic side of the question, aiming at making the analysing of the text easier. The second half of the essay wishes to prove the previously described by putting it into practice through one of Filip Florian’s novels.
