Description
Summary:The article tries to identify, in Cornel Ungureanu's books, the developing stages and ramifications of a dominant concept, as the critic's works reproduce, not only on a symbolic level, the ex-centric geographies that the author theoretizes and explores in detail for almost three decades. His demonstrations are circular, drawing orbits around puzzling hypotheses and capitalizing on the flow of memory, of confession or documentary passion; backgrounds and entire worlds are being reactivated in their original contexts, as well as their ideologies but, at the same time, there is a conceptual center that irradiates all through the author's works, as a set of dominant theses regarding a sort of philosophy of culture understood as a network of reciprocal influence between multiple provincial identities. Ungureanu's books continuously recreate this center, as in a nostalgic, initiating movement, reincarnating the original ideas in a utopian search of the most revealing versions.
