VICTOR PAPILIAN - AN ANTIMODERNIST PERSPECTIVE OF THE WORLD
VICTOR PAPILIAN - AN ANTIMODERNIST PERSPECTIVE OF THE WORLD

Summary/Abstract: Victor Papilian’s literary work still reveals more and more meanings, symbols and literary value if one has the interest and patience to take an in depth approach into the most significant and valuable part of it, the fantastic short stories. His antimodernist perspective of the world and of the writer’s status in the middle of the artistic act can be easily identified as being of a certain influence, maybe the one of Antoine Compagnon, Papilian being aware and always prepared with the most recent literary terminology of his time, but can and will also be presented in this paper as a unique, unitary and complex vision of an artist. This antimodernist approach identified as an artistic perspective does not only rely on the artistic act of creation, but also on the social responsibility of providing a serious, professional and important legacy to the public.
