Abstract:

In the post-war period, the political and ideological factor invaded the whole Romanian spiritual space, educational institutions included, and determined the formation of more generations in the spirit of false, sometimes at least disputable, models. The present papers aims at tracing, in an interdisciplinary approach, in already acknowledged historical and political stages, the effects of the change in value hierarchy and the extent to which the Romanian educational system experienced this change at the level of educational model projection, through the selection and “valorizing of the literary legacy” or through the imposition of new ideologized models and value scales. Accomplishment of an integrated research, having as a novelty element the double perspective, literary and pedagogical, regarding the pressure of the political and ideological factor upon the reflection of literature in the Romanian educational system, in the 1944-89 period, and its impact on the social behavioural model, with focus on the extent to which an institution as the education system felt the consequences at the level of the projection of the educational model. In schools, literature becomes an insidious propagandistic tool, of an evil efficiency, by means of which a cultural, ideological and ethico-moral model is imposed, in agreement with the political doctrine of the time. Curricula, specialty methodologies and textbooks are completely elaborated on these criteria.
