Disoluția socialului în romanele fracturiste
The Deconstruction of Social Structures in “Fracturist” Novels

Summary/Abstract: The changes recorded in politics but also in the socio-cultural area post-1989 have influenced both Romanian and Moldavian literature. The year 2000 marked the makings of a new literary generation in Romanian literature and, within it, the birth of a new literary group called “fracturism”, created by the writers Dumitru Crudu and Marius Ianuş. Bringing together, on the one side, the Romanian young writers, and, on the other, young writers from the Moldavian Republic, this literary group has forged a new type of novel, based upon an anarchist attitude and rebellion against every social structure that constrains the individual’s voice. While the writers from the previous generations (the eighties or the nineties) used their work to rebel against an oppressive political regime, the new writers now use theirs to stand against the commercial vision of life and against the demise of individuality in today’s society. The deconstruction of social structures is achieved in their novels by using violent imagery and language, by exploring the ugliness and coldness of the everyday life with all its hidden and dark sides: from poverty to historical drama, from the destruction of the private space and intimacy to the surrender of this intimacy to a strict surveillance enacted in the social dimension.
