Modelul teatral englez reflectat în tendințele dramaturgiei românești „douămiiste”

Abstract

In what post-1989 drama in the Romanian cultural space is concerned, one of the topics for debate in literary criticism has referred to the concept of “douămiism” (roughly, specific to the 2000s), respectively, to the existence or non-existence of yet another “category” that could be ascribed to this “clipping” of a “generation”. In a bird-eye view approach, one notes a strong influence of the English pattern in the theatre trends of the “age” in this area of Europe. There is visible preference for particularized structures attached to a type of drama called “alternative, different” or “independent”. Such is the case with “violent, reductionist language” which “wears out” taboos in order to deconstruct them, “a genuine verbal artillery” and frequent calques of “lexical paradigms” which once again signal “the overt and reprehensible trend of imitating the Western liberalism”.
