Lumi „tari” şi lumi „slabe” în dialog în romanele Ioanei Pârvulescu
A Dialogue Between “Strong” Worlds and “Weak” Worlds in Ioana Pârvulescu’s Novels

Summary/Abstract: Applied to Ioana Pârvulescu’s works of fiction, Viaţa începe vineri (“Life Starts on Friday”) and Viitorul începe luni (“The Future Starts on Monday”), the present study analyses the ludic practice that reflects the documentary re-creation of the second half of the 19th century in her essay entitled În intimitatea secolului 19 (“In the Privacy of the 19th Century”). At the same time, the study proposes a parodical manner of poetics of the types of novels that were published in the studied era. In a system of multiple reflections, the time travel stories illustrate a dialogue between past and present worlds which identify oppositions such as “strong”-“weak”, spiritual comfort-physical comfort, and heroic-anti-heroic in the “postmodernised” sense, that of the common opposing the uncommon. This study pays special attention to the discourse of corporeality that constitutes, through the suggested changes of paradigm, one of the leading features of contemporary ontology.
