Etica confesiunii în literatura de exil a lui Alexei Marinat [Articol]

Abstract

The memoirs of Bessarabian author Alexei Marinat, contained in the volumes “Traveling around the Man” and “Me and the World” fascinate the reader by the authenticity of the experience and the writing. The identity of the narrator as a witness is perceived in the credibility of the events authentically described. Author’s narrative ethics focuses its attention on exterior text matters, trying to build a universally binding value system, involving the memorialist’s ethical mission of “enriching” the text with unique illustrating situations. The diarist Alexei Marinat illustrates the tensions between the ethical imperatives and different models of representation of terror in terms of deficiency of acting freely under the oppressive regime, being in search of new ways to understand the traumatic past and its impact on the present.
