THE DOUBLE MARGINALITY OF ROMANIAN FEMINIST POETRY. EDGINESS, THEORETICAL GAP, AND NEOLIBERAL ABSORPTION

This paper aims to outline the urgency of Romanian Feminist poetry in light of neoliberalism and the capitalist world-system which together have become an uncontrollable and increasingly unequal mechanism. Rooted in neoliberal ideology, a postfeminist framework can provide grounds for the hypothesis according to which Romanian society, given its post-communist character, skipped over western feminist waves that were overlapping, catalyzed after the 1989 Revolution. Moreover, a postfeminist mindset can be detected to the extent that the reflexivity, the consciousness of the historicity of Eastern and Western feminism, and by overcoming the traditional antinomy of women versus men provide a useful follow up to the radicalism and to the militancy.
