Literature of Socialist Realism as a false and dehumanized art

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyzes the function of the poetics of the Socialist Realism: Firstly, in relation to the mimetic doctrines of art, according to which art should not be an end in itself, but should be an image of life, of a new reality, and serve a purpose, idea, ideal state, concluding in exaggerations of a typical nature in the genre of the novel (Aristotle's mimetic doctrine) and the exaggerations of a eulogized nature in the literary type of lyric poem and poetry (Plato's mimetic doctrine).Secondly, Socialist Realism was developed in the context of an absolute order of meaning (such was communism) and fully at the service of two basic paradigms of the communist regime which were: - the establishment of the 'Socialist Status Quo' and the construction of the 'New Man'. Thus, as such, the literature of Socialist Realism appears, respectively, once as an absolute Romanticism and once as a Schematic Realism, more than an expression of the continuity of romantic and realistic literary traditions, it is in essence, their biggest denier.Lastly, this schematic renders the literature of Socialist Realism, as art really should not be, into a false and dehumanized art.
