Exile Narratives – from Psychological Mechanisms to Ideological Motivation

Within the Communist age, the Romanian political censorship has functioned as the key-factor in generating the phenomenon of the exile. The Romanian writers who have never accepted the overruling political regime and favored the reality-oriented, aesthetically-coined, transparent literature by means of which they rejected ‘word blindnes's and stereotypical discourse have been forced to emigrate. The present study is focused on the analysis of the exile narratives, be they epical or dramatic, so as to grasp the thinking subtlety, the psychology determining a special type of literature virulently opposing the ideological constraints.
