TRANSFORMAREA SOCIETĂȚII SCRIITORILOR ROMÂNI ÎN UNIUNEA SCRIITORILOR (23 AUGUST 1944 - 25 IUNIE 1948)

The present study aimes to capture the transformation of the Romanian Writers' Society from a politically uninvolved mutual aid institution into an institution for controlling the literary space. In order to reconstruct a more complete picture, the reorganization of the Romanian Writers' Society and the elimination of several writers considered undesirable, the new copyright regime with the effect of modifying the institutional relations between writers and the new pro-communist authorities, censorship and the annihilation of the diversity of cultural directions reborn immediately after August 23, 1944, are analysed.
