Avatars of Censorship and the Human Condition in a Post-Utopian Society

Abstract

In this study are analyzed the dilemmas of the system and the censorship that mark the

post-utopian society (a possible society) that can limit certain freedoms of the individual

limits. Starting from some fictional representations (possible worlds) we could observe that

the most serious problem for a people is erasing the past from the collective memory by

changing the perception of the historical truth or relativizing it. In this sense, making use

of the tools specific to the comparative approach, we analyzed the imaginary universe of

the novel Amintiri din epoca lui Bibi: o post-utopie by Andrei Cornea, in which extensive

recourse is made to memory, while developing social dilemmas and paradigms behavioral.

We also noticed, from a compositional point of view, the novel is an allegorical projection

of a society marked by the problem of lack of memory, but also of the condition of the

individual in a post-utopian society that has not definitively renounced repressive means.
