MEMORIE, FICŢIUNE ŞI LITERATURĂ PRIN SVETLANA ALEKSIEVICI
Memory, fiction and literature through Svetlana Aleksievici’s writings

Summary/Abstract: The study problematizes the relationship between memory, literature and fiction through several books written by Svetlana Aleksievici. Literature is a second degree witness, less legitimate or, on the contrary, more convincingly, of the memory of the person and of the memory of the community. The fictional or non-fictional imaginary – in which the reader is invited to participate during the act of reading and sometimes beyond it – finds its roots (or not) from the individual autobiographical memory and from the collective memory as well. The presence or absence of the “living” memory within the artistic imaginary indicates without fail the philosophical and spiritual orientation of the author and the sense that he gives to history. The position of the person or the individual, in order to understand the mentality under which the text is produced and its messages are organized, the dominant attitude in the speech and the degree of impact on reader’s consciousness are extremely significant.
