EXPLORING POETICAL PECULIARITIES OF ANA BLANDIANA’S INTERVIEWS
Abstract
The present paper is part of a broader research project, which aims at investigating the interviews given by Ana Blandiana, who is one of the most influential contemporary Romanian poets and a well-known dissident of the dictatorial regime of the 1970s and 1980s. These interviews were collected between 2019 and 2020 and subsequently grouped into three main categories, related to poetry, prose and essays. The resulting material was published in a volume entitled “Cartea cu delfini” (The book with dolphins) in 2021. Ana Blandiana’s interviews take the form of an autobiography, which enables the poet to share her memories and thoughts on the world we live in. These dialogues of literary interest are of the utmost importance as they reveal the poet’s personality and disclose her emotions and views related to a writing career of more than 60 years. The theoretical and methodological perspectives included in this research are related to the literary interview, which uses the techniques of storytelling and reveals insights into the interlocutor’s life, work and experiences. In addition, the research also reviews the theories of the literary discourse, with a strong focus on the linguistic beauty and poetic language of Ana Blandiana. The novelty of this study lies in investigating the particularities of her literary interviews.
