In particular, it examines the forms of agency and privacy available to women under totalitarianism and the modes of relationships in which their lives were embedded. The self-expression and self-reflexive processes that are to be found in the body of Romanian women's autobiographical writings this study presents create complex private narratives that underpin the creative development of inclusive memories of the past through shared responsibility and shared agency. At the same time, however, the way these private, personal narratives intertwined with collective and official historical narratives exemplifies the multidimensional nature of privacy as well as the radical redefinition of agency in this period. This book argues for a broader understanding of the narratives of the communist past, one that reflects the complexity of individual and social interactions and allows a deep exploration of the interconnected relations between memory, trauma, nostalgia, agency, and privacy."--From the publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages [142]-156) and index. 505 0 $a Realms of privacy and agency -- The political regime, gender, and paradigms of memory -- Life writing and realms of privacy -- Traumatic experiences : privacy as communicative agency -- Knowing the past : Ana Blandiana and privacy as shared agency -- Everyday communicative responsibility : privacy as endurance -- The public revelation of the self : Mihaela Miroiu and privacy as a shared responsibility -- Re-working the past through life writing : Herta Müller and the (im)possibility of privacy -- Realms of privacy 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Romanian prose literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Romanian prose literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Romanian prose literature $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Biography as a literary form. 650 0 $a Post-communism $z Romania. 650 0 $a Women and communism $z Romania. 650 0 $a Collective memory $z Romania. 650 0 $a Criticism. 650 7 $a Criticism $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883735 650 7 $a Biography as a literary form. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00832172 650 7 $a Collective memory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739814 650 7 $a Post-communism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01072730 650 7 $a Romanian prose literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01100063 650 7 $a Women and communism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177082 651 7 $a Romania. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205085 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Media and cultural memory ; $v 35. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013442.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F10025FA56B111EEB3013A8641ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
