Memoria culturală și socială reflectată în literatură

Cultural and social memory reflected in literature

Abstract

     From the first volume of stories, Fănuș Neagu writes about the disappearance of a picturesque world and customs, although sometimes barbaric, althoughhe does not want to show how a new world wins, the world of institutionalization, collective assimilated to factories, a world taken out of an ancestral flow, resettled in cities. Assimilated to Bucharest, where he feels at home, he always tends to escape to the Danube area in almost all the works he worte. The element of the
psychology of creation preserve the authentic, although literature during its debut period was not favorable context, in the full communist period, the calendar of dogmatism still had enough unbroken pages. Fănuș Neagu’s literary creation continued to bear its own pressures, of a reality of subordinationto the political ideology of the time. The village, the factory and the history would become real sources of inspiration for Fănuș Neagu, making them true schemes of reality, even with the risk of becoming dangerous once the limits imposed by the regime of the time were exceeded. The debut story ,,Snowing in Bărăgan”would foreshadow a departure from the canons of the era. The Romanian epic creation places the rurald world exclusively under the horizon of social conflicts, exploited in the spirit of the political strategy of the time. In this context Fănuș Neagu brings the harsh reality of the times to the level of a literature worthy of study through real experiences, with the most interesting characters, delightful metaphors and topics that cover the entire context, preserving the cultural and social memory reflected in the ever-living literature
