The Novel of Transition
In this article I analyze the novel of transition as a subgenre of contemporary Romanian literature, arguing for its relevance in a discussion of how postcommunist literary works reflect the social reality of their time. Drawing on the notion of subgenre as it was defined by Franco Moretti, I focus on novels written and published in the narrow period between the 1990s to the mid-2000s by authors who experienced the transition and sought to render…
Tranziția postcomunistă ca traumă socială
Memoriile unui anarhist
Poetry, Disability and Metamodernism
Based on Ilya Kaminsky’s poetry volume Deaf Republic (2019), this article aims at placing contemporary disability poetics at the crossroads of modernism and metamodernism.

In order to describe this narrative structure as an …
Regimuri de relevanță, puncte de rezistență

Finally, the article appl…
The Novel of Memory as World Genre. Exploring the Romanian Case
The novel of memory is a subgenre with an impressive spatial and cultural range: it manifested itself in numerous countries in all parts of the world, and it emerged only some four decades ago.However, its existence remains troubling in many respects: it was theorized in the academia before being canonized in the national literary histories.Moreover, it thrived in the discourse of recent cultural studies, rather than in that of literary studies.W…
