Summary/Abstract: The postmodernist literary current from 1980, reconfigures the Romanian literature with the Western ones, anticipating and then accompanying through its pluralist philosophy the exit from the communist regime and the transition to the present democracy, and the subsequent literary and cultural models remain to be identified in the programmatic diversity of postmodernity. Critical perspectives emerged in the nineties, especially proclamations of the end of postmodernism, seeing the same triumphant pleasure. The first important debate on this issue in Romania took place in 1986, with the occasion of the emergence of a special number of "Critical notebooks" dedicated to postmodernism. During this period there was an exposition of the evolution of the word postmodernism and its derivatives that began to circulate in the Romanian cultural press before 1986.
