Romanian criticism has discussed from various perspectives of Mircea Cărtărescu’s belonging to postmodernism. We advance a new idea in the overall exegesis of his work, which is that his prose revisits cultural references from the 17th century (the image of the citadels of Desiderio Monsu), the 18th century (Piranesi’s prisons), the tormented history of the 19th century, the cities of New Orleans, the Mississippi region, or the grotesque visions of El Greco or Biblical images, even the criminology of Gall or Lambroso, by means of spatiality. The fundamental thesis that we prove by analysing Cărtărescu’s novel “Blinding. The Left Wing”, is that interdiscursivity is realized by means of spatial dialogue, which becomes an essential element in sketching out the architectural or artistic discourse according to the literary one. Starting out from the theoretical framework represented by “constitutive intertextuality” and reaching “blended spaces”, the space generated by Mircea Cărtărescu’s prose is configured by interdiscursivity.

The disciplines increasingly organize knowledge, but according to Lukács and Adorno, the essay represents a continuing need for an intersection of disciplinary knowledge and the totality of experience. According to Foucault, the essays of Montaigne and Bacon embody the transition from medieval commentary to modern science’s empiricism and criticalness. The essay does not submit to the systematics of science but persists in the singularity of the literary work. It interdiscursively confronts personal experience with various discursive fields and constructs a fragmentary, perspectival, and aesthetic mode of truth. Notwithstanding the literary singularity of the essay, which corresponds to Kant’s “aesthetic idea”, the genre also relies on the sensus communis. Since the 18th century, the essay has established itself in newspapers, where it has become susceptible to stereotypes and ideologies. The tension between singularity and (medial) common sense is also evident in contemporary Slovenian examples (Marjan Rožanc).

Throughout much of his writing career, Aldous Huxley contributed to the interdiscursive construction of literature as a utopia, a common ground between scientific and literary discourses. This article explores both the explications and limits of Huxley’s interdiscursive utopia, focusing primarily but not exclusively on his most famous and highly ambiguous novel Brave New World (1932). Read against the background of pertinent criticism and contextualized in 1920s and 1930s debates about the changing prominence of science and the scientist in Britain, Huxley’s enterprise manifests a considerable preserve of social prejudice and hierarchical thinking. This circumstance detracts substantially from the interdiscursivity of his utopia and compromises literature’s claim to a holistic representation of social reality.
