Literatura militantă a lui Geo Bogza
Geo Bogza’s Engaged Literature

Summary/Abstract: This study analyzes the engaged literature of one of the foremost figures of the Romanian avant-garde, Geo Bogza (1908–1993). After a short period of literary insurgence as an editor of the avant-garde magazine Urmuz (1928), as a contributor to the Surrealist magazine Unu (1928–1932), and as the author of a harsh erotic poetry published in the volumes Jurnal de sex (1929) and Poemul Invectivă (1933), for which he was to be sentenced to jail two times (in 1934 and 1937) for the delict of pornography, Geo Bogza, like other members of the Romanian avant-garde, followed the example of the French surrealists and wrote a literature supposed to be engaged in the service of the proletarian revolution. His main contribution to literature was the literary reportage, a genre sui generis that he developed and transformed into pure poetry.
