The Theory of Elites as Interpretation Paradigm

Author(s): Cornel Moraru
Subject(s): Language and Literature Studies

Summary/Abstract: The paper draws some directing lines on the theory of elites as an interpretation paradigm for Romanian literary groups and hierarchies, from Junimea to the present. In the first chapter, the author pleads for the reconsideration of the concept of „elites" that was compromised by excesive ideologies during the communism. The following sequence attempts to define the elites from a sociologic point of view. The concept and all its implications should be viewed as an operational concept with a pregnant potential in the investigation of the cultural-literary field.
