 Medical language and literary expressionMirela Radu Impact of Socio-economic and Technological Transformations at National, European and International Level (ISETT), 2015, vol. 1 Abstract: Saşa Pană, “(…)walking and ubiquitous archive, ready to reestablish both archeology and history of the Romanian avant-garde†(Ierunca, 1993:190), is the pen name of Alexander Binder-the physician and he is known to the vast majority of Romanian readers for his contribution within the avant-garde movement, being one of “the most competent theoreticians of surrealism.†(Rotaru, 1997:87) In Saşa Pană’s case, the nihilistic language specific to avant-garde was influenced by his profession: physician. In a more careful analysis of his texts we can notice the influence of medical terminology, actually this was the purpose: to shock, to vex and take out the reader from the previous literature routine. If other avant-garde representatives found appealing the city and industrial language, Saşa Pană managed to create the same novel images by using medical vernacular which was at hand.
