Abstract

This paper is devoted to the postwar Bessarabian Poetry in the context of the general Romanian cultural mechanism. Despite the fact that living poets in a destructive-mystical-literary time were exposed to a various kind of dogmatic tribulation, the study seeks to demonstrate that there is a well-configured Bessarabian intertextual corpus of the artistically developed poets outside the official Romanian borders, confirming then that "the individual is condemned through time and space to work for the one part where he belongs. In vain would he try to work at once for all mankind − he's bound by unbroken chains of group of people where he was born"(Mihai Eminescu). The term Verwandelte Form, originally introduced by Karl Marx in the scientific and philosophical network, is assigned here to test the validity of the Romanian Païdeuma – a common psychic space of a inviolable stated nation − in his marchland and cross-border territory, thus confirming the common sharing of the same spiritual values despite the vicissitudes of history and the opposing ideologies. Keywords: Bessarabian poetry, Generational Poetical Corpus, Diaspora, intertextual retreat, historical vicissitude.
