Un mondo alla rovescia. Sulle dinamiche trasgressive nel romanzo Per chi crescono le rose di Ingrid Beatrice Coman

Abstract

The World Upside Down. Transgressive Elements in Ingrid Beatrice Coman’s novel Per chi crescono le rose The article aims to read Ingrid Beatrice Coman’s Per chi crescono le rose through the category of transgression. The action is set in communist Romania, where the characteristic political factors cause a number of transgressive behaviors. The argument has been divided into four parts. The first section defines transgression and presents a few theories that are used in the analysis. The remaining parts depict mainly the unusual relationships that bind the characters and show the social restrictions that these relationships break. The narrative technique employed in the novel can also be considered transgressive. Coman’s plot is transgeneric as it relates to the poetics of a historical novel, a social novel and a satirical novel. Trangressiveness is, therefore, visible both on the level of the plot and the form.
