RAPORTUL DINTRE PUTEREA POLITICĂ ȘI LUMEA IMAGINARĂ A SCRIITORULUI ÎN COMUNISM
The relationship between the political power and the imaginary world of the writer in the communist age

Summary/Abstract: The soviet type regime of communism imposed in postwar Romania has brought about radical changes at all levels of society. Coming to have absolute power very quickly, the new regime decided to turn literature and writers into propaganda tools. Confronted to this situation, the writers reacted differently. Out of naivety or opportunism, some writers rushed to respond to the party directives, others, feeling the danger, chose forms of artistic expression by which they eluded or even defied the imposed political commands. Thus, a type of literature that promoted party doctrine started to develop, along with another kind of literature – that disregarded and resisted the ideological commandments. The literature written under the pressure of a totalitarian regime bears the marks of the context it crossed and, therefore, it is important to overcome the ethical criterion when analysing it.
