Popis: This paper aims to assess the challenging role of post - communist critical and theoretical revisions for the literary canon legitimized under communism. Special attention will be given, therefore, to the so - called “East - ethical revisionism”, th eoretical direction which, beyond the interpretative excesses involved, brings a necessary resizing of the relation between aesthetics (the autonomy of art) and ethics (the political compromise literature assumes). Although these revisions generated the mo st acid cultural polemics of the '90s, practical results delay so much that the analysis of their inertia becomes a substantial issue of the current Romanian canonical debate. A good way of access to these interpretative jams remains Monica Lovinescu's cri tical activity, because Eugen Lovinescu's daughter acquires the role of coordinator of the “East - ethical revisionism”.
