Emigrarea ca miracol: Banatul ca loc miraculos al primelor treceri de frontieră
Rezumat
Emigration as a Miracle: Banat as the Miraculous Place of the First Border Crossings
Abstract: This paper focuses on a recurring scene in fiction about emigration, the crossing of physical and geographical borders. The practice of crossing borders is an act of separation from the home, the familiar, and can be understood as a trigger for the later consequences of emigration, since this act creates the situation in which the emigrant experiences himself as a stranger, as a different person in the destination. In the literature on Eastern Europe, there have been many texts that thematize the act of crossing borders, but this thesis will focus on how the first—and to this extent most prominent—border crossing leading to emigration can be linked to the phenomenon of the miracle and, at the same time, to the region of Banat.
