Mimesis is a critical and philosophical term going back to Aristotle. It carries a wide range of meanings, including imitation, representation, mimicry, the act of expression, and the presentation of self. In modern literary criticism, mimesis has received renewed attention in the last two or three decades and been subject to wide-ranging interpretations.

Divided into two parts, this volume includes contributions focused on both myth and some of its contemporary reflections (Part I) and the connection between myth, music and ritual (Part II). The fifteen contributions gathered here are authored by academics and researchers from Brazil, France, Poland, Mexico, South Africa and Romania.

(Eugen Negrici) Bună cunoscătoare a conceptelor și a strategiilor propagandei comuniste, ca și a statutului, rolului și evoluției cenzurii din aceeași epocă, Monica Mărgărint aplică acest aparat teoretic pe un material excavat din surse primare (în speță, presa literară ieșeană postbelică). (Nicolae Mecu) Meritele lucrării sunt legate, în primul rând, de admirabila cercetare documentară: autoarea se oprește asupra publicațiilor vremii, dar și asupra paginilor mai greu accesibile – arhivele instituțiilor de partid din țară, dar, în primul rând – așa cum arată proiectul de lucru –, de la Iași.
