Contextual relations in Cioran’s fragmented texts and their dependence on the limits of this type of text

Abstract: The purpose of this research is to determine how separate fragments related to one general theme can converge to express one meaning and can still be considered independent texts in correlation with the social global context. To illustrate this question we need a concrete strategy of analysis: first, we should discuss the contextual statute of fragments and then move to the concept of „social global context” and show it’s correlation with separate fragments in the cioranian text. Finally, we should talk about „limits” of fragmented texts and try to elucidate some problems that arise when we try to determine these limits. In this context, we can conclude that the problem of „fragmented text limits” remain open because of different diverging opinions to explain it. We can then try to illustrate, by various schemes, how the notional and conceptual interaction work in the cioranian fragmented texts - all this with the aim to show the correlation between separate fragments and the global context. Our opinion is that the text is considered „coherent” because it can be limited and yet be relevant to a global context . When speaking about the cioranian fragmented text, we can conclude that the coherence of fragments is in direct proportion with it’s relevance. The more coherent the fragment is, the more relevant it will be and can then be considered an independent text. In conclusion, Cioranian fragments depend directly on the social global context and can be considered independent texts if the degree or relevance is respected when we try to define and outline their limits.
