| Abstract: | Our research aims to underline the purpose and the means of articulation of an unstable identitary-cultural profile, constantly subject to negotiations and translation in between different languages and worlds, elaborated in Jurnalul suedez/The Swedish Journal by Gabriela Melinescu – a writer in Romanian and Swedish, native to Romania. While trying to adapt to exile in Sweden and carrying with her the trauma of the communist dictatorship in Romania, the writer employs the mechanisms by which the journal creates successive illusions of the real so as to seek refuge from the illusive multicultural reality into a compensating search for the self. |
