| Abstract: | The present study questions the hypothesis according to which Cioran’s choice to abandon his youth Legionary beliefs is due to his refusal to write in Romanian and to the embracement of French language as the language of reason. Our theory is justified by the interpretation of the reasons that generated his ostentatious and “antiRomanian” excesses during the Romanian period, and also to the existing differences between this period and the French one. His attacks against Romania are, in reality, expressions of self-loathing (of his own identity in crisis). The rift is more likely a change in vision: in France, Cioran acknowledges the very representations of his people he strongly rejected during the Romanian period. |
