The Adventure of Structuralism in Romania
The Adventure of Structuralism in Romania

Summary/Abstract: Imitated, reinterpreted, adapted or just tendentiously applied in Romanian literary criticism, pure and simple, structuralism has rather made history more among connoisseurs. "Bastionul lingvistic" is the synthesis of all of the manifestations of structuralist concepts in the Romanian space, as little as they lingered, with all of their obvious uses and benefits and failed attempts at prestige. Adriana Stan follows the history of the concept closely in an applied, extremely expressive demonstration, offering the specialized reader what they have so far lacked: the European perspective of structuralism as sole possibility for the reformation of Romanian Communist literary criticism.
