Arome şi simbol în universul poetic minulescian. O analiză textual-discursivă
Flavours and symbols in Ion Minulescu’s poetic universe. A textual-discursive analysis

Summary/Abstract: The approach proposed through the textual-discursive analysis of some samples selected from Ion Minulescu’s poetic universe (especially the Romanţe [Romances] series) aims at highlighting elements expressed in the world of signs, which conveys different cultural connotations (the study achieves a short history of perfume and the influence of perfume houses on Romanian poetic space: for instance, the line from a poem by Minulescu “Here is why I love Rosine”, which refers directly to the French perfume house Guerlain). The devices employed to express different textual networks (as they are defined in the model of iceberg texts) – networks that may be of an intonational-melodious kind (identified on the level of rhythm, refrain, and so on) or of an intertextual one (realised by means of direct citation or indirect allusions) – overlap and/or blend with the synesthetic effects in which various sensations (olfactory, colourful, and aural) “communicate” on the affective level and contribute to the construction of meaning.
