Strategies for decolonizing the poetic discourse Romanian-Bassarabian metamodernism

As a result of the fall of the USSR, Bessarabian literature written in Romanian language was put in a position to change its discourse, and to recover theories, approaches and poetics. The decolonization of the Bessarabian poetic discourse occurred (and is occurring) in several stages. The sources of this decolonization are, on the one hand, internal, as a desire to transform the stagnant state of poetic language, and, on the other hand, external, a natural desire to connect with poetic approaches from the West. The stage that particularly interests us is that of 2000s and post-2000s poetry, because this period is characterised by several types of poetic discourses, which were proposed at the same time by different poets and literary groups. In this article I will explore the way in which these authors adopted a new way of being in literature (and, particularly, in poetry) and the way in which the import of this new lyrical discourse took place in the Romanian literature written in the Republic of Moldova. We will try to argue the way in which metamodernist 2000s and post-2000s poetry functioned as one of the instruments of decolonization of the Bessarabian poetic discourse.
