Tranziția postcomunistă ca traumă socială: reprezentări și (de)codificări în poezia anilor 2000
Rezumat
Abstract: In this article I read the postsocialist transition in the frame of several theories of social trauma (Piotr Sztompka, Andreas Hamburger), by focusing particularly on Romanian poetry published during the 2000s. Leaving aside the psychoanalytical definitions of trauma that had at their core the (i)representability of trauma, starting with the new millennium and, more prominently, in the last decade, trauma studies took a social turn, focusing on traumatized ethnic and social groups. In Romania, the social trauma of the postcommunist transition was addressed foremost in poetry by a new generation of poets who reacted to the economic, social and political disarray of the 2000s. I argue that the concept of social trauma applied to millennial poetry has the advantage of explaining the option of the earlier poets of the 2000s for a poetics of violence, suffering and , beyond the canonical games within the literary field.
