- Title
L'imaginaire de l'espace antiutopique chez Swift et Ion Eremia.
- Authors

- Abstract
Our scope is to analyse the dystopia imaginary space in Ion Eremia's Gulliver in The Land of Lies (Gulliver in Tara Minciunilor). This is a space where the relationships between characters are established at a game level, where the point of departure is the idea that every individual possesses a personal activity sphere to move and act, "la bulle phénoménologique". Starting from Jonathan Swift's novels, Ion Eremia creates a utopia, not a regressive Swiftian dystopia, as Lemuel Gulliver does not meet a population with an inherited monstrosity borrowed from the medieval teratology; rather, a rational population living a big lie, incarcerated by a totalitarian regime. In Kukunia Gulliver does not experience a feeling of superiority as in Lilliput, nor one of inferiority as in Brobdingnag; he experiences a continuous state of amazement.
