Censorship and Propaganda in the Romanian Literature After World War II
Abstract
Since its theoretical dawn in 1848, the communist ideology has underlined the theory of social determinism, which states that each person's behavior is not induced by his own individuality, but by the social class which he belongs to. As a result, in the communist Romania it was of strict necessity to educate each person in the spirit of the new society, as it was considered to be the only one capable to ensure his full development. In this situation, the role of literature as a means of propaganda became overwhelming, as it aimed to educate the individual in the spirit of submission to the party and its leader(s) and also hatred towards everything that might have opposed this attitude. Artists and writers in particular also went through a long process of adaptation as many of them submitted to the new ideology and others campaigned for the aesthetic value of literature. The present paper aims at identifying different aspects related to literature during the communist period as it brings to the foreground the scars propaganda and censorship left on art, culture and literature.
