Abstract
What could possibly bring together Adrian Georgescu’s novel Exitus (2017) and Elem Klimov’s film Idzi i Hliadzi (Come and See, U.S.S.R., 1985)? Both texts explore war trauma experienced by underage subjects (Georgescu’s protagonist Milo is an orphan barely surviving in a devastated unnamed land, while Klimov’s hero, Flyora, is a Belarusian adolescent eager to join the Word War II partisans). We rely on Gilles Deleuze’s concept of time-image to investigate the narrative strategies with which the authors aim to represent what, essentially, ”one can’t look at”: children or teenagers as actors-victims of war.
