THE DEMONIZATION OF THE WRITER BY THE WRITER AND THE DEHUMANIZATION OF THE HUMAN WORLD AS A FAILURE OF SOCIALIST REALISM LITERATURE
Ermira YMERAJ
Abstract
The literary genre of socialist realism, in some sense, returned to the romantic tradition of creating its own myths, partially with no similarities to traditional myths, and partially with a slightly altered continuation of the traditional ones. The first thing that needed to be done in order to pave the road for these new myths was the demonization of tradition, particularly that part of tradition that constituted the beginnings of its modernity. In addition to Konica, Fishta, and Koliqi, the Arbreshi poet Giusepe Schirò was not spared either. The most important task of socialist realism literature was the creation of the myth about the new human. This intention of theirs separated the focal object of literature from the individual, the subject, leading to a dominating iconography and a collective codification of characters.
"The new socialist human" is one of the most contradictory projects known to the political history of humanity, aimed at modulating, shaping, controlling, codifying, and programming the social subject and progress in the service of predetermined interests. The myth of the new human is part of a paradigmatic sample known as the "socialist ideology", "socialist order", "socialist family", "socialist art", "socialist realism", "socialist society", "socialist morals".
