La presència de les lletres catalanes en România Literară, revista emblemàtica de la Unió dels Escriptors de Romania: anàlisi del període 1968-1989

Abstract

With the interruption of the sovietization process and the implementation of the national communism, Romania has experienced an international openness not only in the political sphere, but al so in the frame of the cultural and literary relations with Europe. This openness implied the revival of the cultural interchanges with the European countries, even with those that presented some kind of "problematic" issues, as Spain case was, because of its dictatorial politics. Between 1968 and 1989, the main literary Romanian review, România Literară, granted important spaces to the peninsular cultural events and Catalonia occupied a privileged place due, by one side, to the interest its authors and specially its painters and sculptors arose and, by the other side, to its communist tendencies in struggle with the right-left politics of the ruling regime. This paper analyses the articles about Catalonia published in România Literară in this period, standing out the kind of information that have been allowed to arrive from this peculiar country, Els Països Catalans, and the intervention of censorship and manipulations operated on this information.
