Gherasim Luca. The Uprising of Oedipus. Towards a new language
Before 1945, Gherasim Luca, a member of the Surrealist Group of Bucharest, outlined a framework for his non-oedipal vision of life and published a number of texts (essays, prose poems and theoretical texts) emerged from this theory. In The Inventor of Love, A Wolf Seen Through a Loupe and The Passive Vampire, Luca stands up against the mutilating, oppressive power embodied by Oedipus residing in familial, social and biological structures of the human being.
