\nC\u0103t\u0103lin Ghi\u0163\u0103 este unul din cercet\u0103torii tineri pe care \u00eei admir foarte mult \u015fi despre care am scris \u00eentr-un num\u0103r anterior<\/a> al EgoPHobia. Recenta sa carte Deimografia<\/em> deschide un capitol nou \u00een teoria literar\u0103 rom\u00e2neasc\u0103, focaliz\u00e2ndu-se pe analiza prozei terror<\/em> (\u00een opozi\u0163ie cu literatura horror<\/em>). Distinc\u0163ia dintre teroare \u015fi groaz\u0103 este unul din cele mai inedite aspecte ale cercet\u0103rii lui Ghi\u0163\u0103. Postularea acestei distinc\u0163ii porne\u015fte de la un citat din Ann Radcliffe: \u201eteroarea \u015fi groaza sunt opuse p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00eentr-at\u00e2t, \u00eenc\u00e2t prima l\u0103rge\u015fte sufletul \u015fi treze\u015fte la o via\u0163\u0103 intens\u0103 facult\u0103\u0163ile, iar a doua le restr\u00e2nge, le \u00eenghea\u0163\u0103 \u015fi aproape le anihileaz\u0103\u201d [35]. Cu alte cuvinte, teroarea subjug\u0103 printr-un preaplin de virtualit\u0103\u0163i (amenin\u0163\u0103ri ne\u015ftiute lurking in the shadows<\/em>), \u00een timp ce groaza are un efect reificant asemenea ochiului Meduzei. Ghi\u0163\u0103 puncteaz\u0103: \u201ePotrivit acestei defini\u0163ii sintetice, teroarea ar fi creativ\u0103, apt\u0103 de a fertiliza \u015fi chiar de a activa emo\u0163iile estetice latente, \u00een timp ce groaza are efect paralizant, distrug\u0103tor pentru poten\u0163ialul empatic\u201d [id.]. Am putea crede c\u0103 teroarea \u00ee\u015fi maximizeaz\u0103 poten\u0163ele printr-o tehnic\u0103 de \u00eenv\u0103luire, \u00een timp ce groaza cade ca o ghilotin\u0103 asupra subiectului \u00eenf\u0103\u015furat \u00een panic\u0103, destabiliz\u00e2ndu-l. O not\u0103 care aminte\u015fte reflec\u0163iile lui Devendra P. Varma poate sugera mai bine aceast\u0103 distinc\u0163ie vizual\u0103 \u015fi cumva cinematografic\u0103: \u201eac\u0163iunea de a adulmeca moartea [este] caracteristic\u0103 terorii, [cea] de a da peste un cadavru [este] tipic\u0103 groazei\u201d [35 n.].<\/p>\n

\nAvem cu to\u0163ii (sper) destul\u0103 cultur\u0103 pop<\/em> pentru a vizualiza aceast\u0103 diferen\u0163\u0103: de exemplu finalul lui Blair Witch Project<\/em> merge mai mult \u00een zona terror<\/em>, pentru c\u0103 \u201efa\u0163a r\u0103ului\u201d este invizibil\u0103. Atunci c\u00e2nd r\u0103ul prime\u015fte chip, ca \u00een finalul filmului The Last Exorcism<\/em> (bazat, la fel ca produc\u0163ia anterioar\u0103, pe tehnica popular\u0103 a falsului documentar) pierde din subtilitate \u015fi prime\u015fte capital horror<\/em>.

Is it all in my mind?<\/em> [Cu at\u00e2t mai dureroas\u0103 frica ce se transform\u0103 \u00een angoas\u0103, \u00een sensul sartrian, al fricii de propriile posibilit\u0103\u0163ii, propriile reac\u0163ii, al fricii de fric\u0103\u2026]) intr\u0103 \u00een antitez\u0103 cu prezen\u0163a material\u0103 a mor\u0163ii, cu imersarea \u00een marginalitatea co\u015fciugului, de unde avem arhetipul \u00eengropatului de viu<\/em> \u015fi topos<\/em>-ul atingerii m\u00e2inii moarte. Dac\u0103 la teroare crezi c\u0103 \u00eennebune\u015fti, la groaz\u0103 nu mai ai nici un dubiu. Mai afl\u0103m c\u0103 groaza este \u201edenotativ\u0103\u201d \u015fi \u201erepulsiv\u0103\u201d, teroarea \u201econotativ\u0103\u201d \u015fi \u201eanxioas\u0103\u201d [36, 87], (cuv\u00e2ntul de ordine al terorii fiind, probabil kierkegaardian, \u201e\u00eenapoi \u00een matricea posibilit\u0103\u0163ilor! \u00eenapoi pe marginea pr\u0103pastiei!\u201d, \u00een timp ce prin groaz\u0103 e\u015fti deja \u201ec\u0103zut\u201d sau \u201earuncat\u201d [geworfen]<\/em>), iar C\u0103t\u0103lin Ghi\u0163\u0103 subliniaz\u0103 foarte just c\u0103 \u201edat fiind gradul de subiectivitate pe care \u00eel implic\u0103 discu\u0163ia despre un binom conceptual identificabil ini\u0163ial intuitiv \u015fi numai ulterior ra\u0163ional, nu se poate trasa o frontier\u0103 precis\u0103 \u00eentre teroare \u015fi groaz\u0103\u201d [40].<\/p>\n

\n\u00cen\u0163eleg foarte bine distinc\u0163ia lui Ghi\u0163\u0103 (\u015fi intuitiv \u015fi logic) dar mai ales \u00eei recunosc necesitatea \u015fi capitalul s\u0103u de noutate. Fiind \u00eens\u0103 un admirator al filmelor horror<\/em>, consider c\u0103 oroarea sau groaza \u00eenseamn\u0103 mai mult dec\u00e2t denota\u0163ie, repulsie \u015fi paralizie \u015fi are, la fel ca teroarea, un imens poten\u0163ial estetic. Uneori trecerea de la teroare la groaz\u0103 este ca ie\u015firea kantian\u0103 din minorat sau ca transgresiunea dintre depresie \u015fi psihoz\u0103: prezen\u0163a real\u0103 a mor\u0163ii; atingerea m\u00e2inii mor\u0163ii este un \u015foc ini\u0163iatic, care nu ucide fantasmele, ci esen\u0163ializeaz\u0103 angoasa. Fantomele nu sunt ucise dup\u0103 intui\u0163ia sensibil\u0103 a cadavrului, ci hora ielelor devine mai bezmetic\u0103! Cu toate acestea, distinc\u0163ia lui Ghi\u0163\u0103 este una extrem de potent\u0103 \u015fi viabil\u0103 \u015fi a\u015f vrea s-o v\u0103d mai des aplicat\u0103, pentru c\u0103 pot ie\u015fi analize extraordinare ale culturii pop<\/em> de aici, nu numai recuper\u0103ri literare. I-a\u015f sugera cercet\u0103torului craiovean ca la o edi\u0163ie ulterioar\u0103 s\u0103 dezvolte aceast\u0103 distinc\u0163ie cu o fenomenologie a terorii, pornind de la paragrafele 30 \u015fi 40 din Sein und Zeit<\/em>, de la cartea lui Aurel Kolnai despre dezgust \u015fi de la The Passions<\/em> de Robert Solomon. Ar ie\u015fi o analiz\u0103 la fel de inventiv\u0103 dar mult mai complex\u0103 \u015fi mai apropiat\u0103 de filosofia literaturii.<\/p>\n

\n\u00cen afar\u0103 de aceast\u0103 distinc\u0163ie seminal\u0103 (care ar fi putut ea singur\u0103 s\u0103 consacre cartea lui Ghi\u0163\u0103 drept una dintre cele mai novatoare apari\u0163ii filologice din ultimul timp), cercet\u0103torul craiovean mai are (cel pu\u0163in) dou\u0103 puncte forte \u00een analiza sa. \u00cen primul r\u00e2nd, el opereaz\u0103 o necesar\u0103 restitu\u0163ie pedagogic\u0103. Fragmentele din literatura rom\u00e2n\u0103 analizate (\u00een special Alexandru L\u0103pu\u015fneanu, La Vulturi!, O f\u0103clie de Pa\u015fte<\/em>) dau senza\u0163ia c\u0103 cite\u015fti o istorie alternativ\u0103 a literaturii rom\u00e2ne, sau o contra-istorie a sa (\u00een sensul lui Onfray). R\u0103m\u00e2ne senza\u0163ia c\u0103 textele studiate (\u015fi predate \u00een sil\u0103) la \u015fcoal\u0103 s-au schimbat \u00eentr-o manier\u0103 demn\u0103 de Philip K.
