Keywords: Censorship; Communism; Derision; Humor; Irony; Sarcasm; Cynicism; Romanian Poetry;

Summary/Abstract: The study proposes a rereading of the Romanian poetry written during Communist regime, in order to see how practices of derision are used in a subversive manner in relation to political power and the realities of that era. The humor, irony, sarcasm or cynicism shown by this poetry are seen as means to circumvent censorship, entering ,from this perspective, the field of a particular commitment against historical events.
