DISCURSIVE STRATEGIES IN THE PREFACES OF THE COMMUNIST PERIOD

Abstract
This paper aims to identify the main characteristics of the communist paratext in order to extract a
set of reading recommendations for the use of the Romanian reader, from 1960 until 1989. The research is
restricted to the books published in the Biblioteca pentru toi collection because it was very popular before
and after 1989. These features support a comparative study between the communist and post-communist
works. The field of investigation is not only the canonical literature retrieved and published under a pocketsize book collection but also the literature written in the same period, published with a preface signed by the
author, on a first or later edition. The theoretical framework of this paper is set by the reading response
theories and Grard Genettes study of paratext. The thesis deals mainly with prefaces, elements of the
paratext, which are reconsidered from the readers point of view. The analysis identifies the specific features
of the prefaces that, due to their proximity, determined the readers response. Furthermore, it describes the
means by which the negotiation between tradition and the system which reorganized and revalorised it
occurs within these discourses.
