Finding Bessarabian Literature on the Maps of Eastern Europe. Notes on a Case of Triangular Cultural Transfer
Finding Bessarabian Literature on the Maps of Eastern Europe. Notes on a Case of Triangular Cultural Transfer
This paper makes a case for studying the processes of intercultural transfer between Romania, the Republic of Moldova, and, adjacently, the USSR/ The Russian Federation, focusing mainly on the postcommunist period. Using the methodology elaborated by Michel Espagne (Espagne 1987; 2013), I suggest a more open reading of Romanianlanguage
Bessarabian literature, in the wider frame of cultural transfers. Considering the geopolitics of the region and the ideological and cultural influence of the USSR in the second half of the 20th century, my paper offers a model of triangular cultural transfer between Bessarabia/ The Republic of Moldova, Romania and Russia.
Keywords: cultural transfer, literary dependence, Romanian literature, Bessarabian literature, postcommunism.
