The literature of migration as a document of the collective memory

The purpose of this article is to highlight representations of social ties, ruptures and fractures in society unleashed in post-Soviet Bessarabia. And we are referring to representations of a type of anthropological crisis that simultaneously affected both economic behaviors and individual subjectivities, leading to exodus, uprooting, massive migration - to the renunciation, temporary or permanent, of the psychological comfort generated by home, family or of the country. The texts we are referring to are literary x-rays of the post-communist period, of its mentalities and the captive life of the Bessarabian. The article addresses the topical subject of migration, a phenomenon specific to so-called marginal and totalitarian societies, a subject with a major impact on the thematic evolution of literature born within these societies.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to highlight representations of social ties, ruptures and fractures in society unleashed in post-Soviet Bessarabia. And we are referring to representations of a type of anthropological crisis that simultaneously affected both economic behaviors and individual subjectivities, leading to exodus, uprooting, massive migration - to the renunciation, temporary or permanent, of the psychological comfort generated by home, family or of the country. The texts we are referring to are literary x-rays of the post-communist period, of its mentalities and the captive life of the Bessarabian. The article addresses the topical subject of migration, a phenomenon specific to so-called marginal and totalitarian societies, a subject with a major impact on the thematic evolution of literature born within these societies.
