Teatrul excentric al alterității: feminitatea decadentă în poezia lui Alexandru Macedonski

The Macedonskian identity, as it is constructed especially at the level of eroticism (focused on an ambiguous interrelationship between male and female polarities, with their specific representations in the poetic imaginary) is certainly the thematic area in which, more than any other, a fin de siècle spirituality is mirrored, marked by abysmal stratifications and mythical sedimentations. I propose to outline, this time focusing only on some poetic texts in Romanian and in French, the construction of Macedonskian femininity as a reflex of the decadent theatricalization of alterity, and the interaction between femininity and masculinity which, as I will demonstrate, is materialized through magnetism, both psychic and erotic.
