Recent Quantitative Studies in Romania. Between Institutional Analysis and the Topic of Translation
The aim of this study is to analyze the usage of quantitative methods in Romania’s contemporary literary studies. In spite of the general reluctance to any positivist approach to literary phenomena, this paper shows that recent quantitative studies have been useful to discovering and understanding certain aspects of Romania’s literary history. There are two identified functionalities of quantitative methods after 2000: one is institutional analysis, which is focused on interpreting statistical data on economic and sociological literary factors; the other takes interest in the number and frequency of literary publications and translations, in order to explain the evolution and circulation of forms, literary structures and plots in relationship to a given historical context. It is necessary to comprehend what are these quantitative studies’ objectives, limits and problematizations in the case of a peripheral culture and how they can open up local literary studies to a new perspective on the literary system. Therefore, this thesis both indexes the latest autochthonous quantitative studies and examines their functions and results.
Keywords: quantitative studies, macroanalysis, institutional analysis, translation studies, polysystem theory
