Theories and Theorists of the Literary Generation Concept. Contemporary Semantic Re-evaluations and their Socio-cultural Impact

Nowadays, the concept of literary generation becomes functional within the specialized literary discourses as its semantic evolution enhances, on the one hand, the dynamics of the cultural paradigms and idea movements projected on the literary creations, and, on the other, the inter-relation of individual authorial ideologies to the larger family of synonymous creative spirits. Our study analyses the main contemporary theories mirroring this concept in the Romanian culture by pointing out both the overt effect of (relative) ideological submission in the dynamic field of creation, as well as the creative deviation (in) validating the abstract pattern – the basis of the theoretic construct the literary generation concept is rooted in.
