Konstruált terek identitásképző szerepe a Sinistra körzetben
The connection between built-up identities and created spaces in Ádám Bodor’s novel Sinistra körzet (1992).

Summary/Abstract: My essay introduces the connection between built-up identities and created spaces in Ádám Bodor’s novel Sinistra körzet (1992). The paper points out that the characters generated by a totalitarian dystopia can only come into existence if they lose all identification marks, and thus an oppressed, peripheral personality is constructed. Besides, to terminate their position as an outlander in the sector, they need to assume a false existence and carry an identification disk. Debating this aspect of the novel requires examining the role of effects inside the sector as well as the connection and the interactions between internal spaces and identities. As a result, the paper reaches an interpretation which explores another side of the Ceauşescu regime.
