The 1986 book received a rather lukewarm reception, as some critics and even a few of the poets that were tagged then as 'textualist' (including Mircea Cărtărescu, who tends to link the idea of text with 'late modernism', and Ion Mureșan) expressed their doubts if not rejected altogether the textualist theory.

In his later anthologies, Mincu marks the birth point of the textualist trend 1977, with the release of Petru Romoșan's debut volume Ochii lui Homer ('Homer's Eyes'). In Eseu despre textul poetic II (1986), Mincu explicitly talks about a 'textualist generation'. The Visionary Common SenseĪccording to Marin Mincu's theory in the book Ion Barbu - eseu despre textualizarea poetică (1981), Ion Barbu should be considered the quintessential textualist avant la lettre and the ancestor, if not assumed model, of 'today's poets'. One of the apparant influences is that of Tel Quel theories (see also the article Noii).Įssay by Gheorghe Iova, Textual Action. There is also a set of 'textualizing' images frequently employed by them: that of the penetrating pen or of the 'blind eye' ( George Vulturescu). Although some of the poetic mecanisms (such as intertextuality) are common with that of most postmodernists, the most radical textualists have in common the belief that a text thrives only to the degree it 'swallows' its own creator. Their texts are self-referential and contain an extremely high amount of metadiscourse (often crossing the borders between mere poetry or prose and theoretical essay). The extensive use of the generic term postmodernism eclipsed the term textualism per se, now used strictly for the most typical and consistent writers. Textualism was a term used to describe a style that emerged in the second half of the 1970's and was in the spotlight in the 1980's. Marin Mincu, Ion Barbu: Essay About Poetic Textualization (1981)
