Summary/Abstract: Postmodernism offers a new perspective on Romanian literature in the western context, anticipating the principles of philosophy to be pluralistic, that is, of the communist regime and the transition to current and literary democracy and cultural pursuit remains identified in the programmatic and postmodern diversity. Postmodernism has experienced the most intense proclamations of its end and several critical perspectives after 1990. It is important to note that the first debate on this topic in the Romanian cultural space took place four years earlier from that moment, on the occasion of the emergence of a special number of "Critical Books" dedicated to the literary current mentioned above. The aim was also to trace directions that would outline an evolution of the word postmodernism and its derivatives, which began circulating in our national culture even before 1986.
