AESTHETIC ALTERNATIVES IN THE ROMANIAN LITERARY NEO-MODERNISM. WOMEN WRITERS AND FICTIONAL EVASION

Summary/Abstract: “Aesthetic Alternatives in the Romanian Literary Neo-Modernism. Women Writers and Fictional Evasion”. The study analyses, through a close critical reading, the symptomatic alliance between the aesthetic value and the ideologically subversive message of certain narrative fictions written, during the communist regime, by Romanian women writers such as Ana Blandiana and Sânziana Pop. The two novelists constantly develop a detailed aesthetic methodology of alternative writing (a polemical version to “the socialist realism” of the politically engaged literature, submissive to the totalitarian regime), based on “Aesopic discourse” and on various textual and imaginary structures that allow the liberating “fictional evasion”.
