Omotetii fractale în Memento Mori de M. Eminescu

Abstract

The fractal model identified by Mandelbrot’s branching process becomes relevant for Eminescu’s Memento mori by means of which the poetic form gains inner dynamism. Its final artistic effect lies in defining poetry as an infinitely mobile summum of formal windows which renders the same meaning reflected indefinetly within the poetic structure. Therefore, the global poetic meaning is inserted at different textual levels through a fractal development technique.
