Abstract

Drawing upon Modernist and Kinship Studies, this essay argues that nowadays community is not dissolved by modernity, nor was it century ago. Literary modernism is one of the places where the modern urbanized community starts to be reassembled based more on ties of affinity than on consanguinity. Even though today this regrouping is more apparent due to the practices of digital coexistence provided by social networks, it was not less of a reality one century ago. Dezrădăcinare Uprooting (2022) by Sașa Zare, and Rădăcini Roots (1938) by Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu have more things in common when it comes to memory and filiation than could be visible to the naked eye.
