Потиснати гласове в българската литература
. Oppressed Voices in Bulgarian Literature

Summary/Abstract: The paper is focused on some non-institutionalized restrictions on the freedom of speech. Some authors often restrain to articulate their opinion because they know that the public will not welcome it. In other cases, the media reject such texts, or after publishing it, the reaction is harsh. One possible approach towards this topic can start from the question posed by Gayatri Spivak and widely commented in the field of post-colonial criticism: “Can the subaltern speak?” We could also ask ourselves who are the subalterns in Bulgarian culture. This paper argues that paradoxically there were unrepresented and oppressed voices among the groups within the high levels of social hierarchy.
