Abstract
Abstract The Romanian post-communist culture witnesses a process of value re-definition within which the memory of the totalitarian experience is mediated through identity-focused literary discourses mirroring the bias between two opposing topoi: the Southeastern space and the West, both of them being interiorized as the “periphery ego” legitimizes its writing in relation with Otherness. The experience of “travelling aboard” entails an existential quest during which Romanianness is constantly called in question: the “ego-graphic” writings are coping with the issue of cultural identity by means of recognition process (Charles Taylor, 1994 ) enabling the identity-otherness interchangeable game.
