Femeia în literatura şi în cultura realismului socialist – reprezentări mitice, mitificare a istoriei şi propagandă ideologică

Abstract

Placed between the literary and non-literary space, but always subjected to the political aims of
the Party, the texts published in Viaţa românească of the 60’s focuses on the new re-reading the aesthetic
values. Written by well-known authors of the period, the texts point out different feminine images – the
woman as mother and comrade of man, involved in the Communist struggle for the new-born goals –
enhancing or just creating mythical feminine profiles. Beyond the power of literature to create new myths,
the old borders between the literary, non-literary and political ideology are fading away, putting women on
the first stage.
