| Abstract: | [Herta Müller’s Herztier (The Land of Green Plums) – Liminal Positions in Relation to Self and to the National Literary Space] In the grid of transculturation, Herztier places Herta Müller in a liminal space, between two countries and cultures. Whilst she has never been concerned with the visibility of her works, the author approaches, in Herztier, a discursive dominant which entails resistance to its affiliation to a single literary canon – a national one – and a single cultural tradition. From the perspective of the Doubrovskian autofictional pattern, the novel constructs a split identity which the author projects in four of the characters and which corresponds not to the postmodern grid of multiple identities, but rather to an effort to express all forms of trauma induced by Securitate. The resulted identitary profile – a projection of the self into the other – is supported, at the discursive level, by a series of techniques, which pinpoint the overlapping of the selves, the concomitant existence, but also the impossibility to subsume the images of the individuality in a linear narrative trajectory. From this perspective, the present paper aims at analysing the way in which the autofictional discourse reveals the image of an author who experiences writing as a form of healing from trauma and who is reconfigured as an identity formed within a process of transcultural communication. |
