General Presentation The 5th edition of the International Colloquia organized by the 'Intercultural Communication and Literature' Research Centre coordinated by Faculty of Letters, 'Dunarea de Jos' University of Galati will take place at 4-5 june 2010. By its interest in the Ideological and Cultural Openings within the Post-totalitarian Milieu, the colloquia intends to display specific means of interpreting literature as well as the contemporary theoretical methods of approaching literary discourse. The analysis focuses on the postcolonial, post-totalitarian epoch when the political /ideological /social factor invaded the cultural space, forming various generations in the spirit of various dynamic, even problematic models. The present colloquia aims at tracing, in an interdisciplinary approach, in already acknowledged historical and political stages, the effects of the change in value hierarchy and the extent to which the Romanian /Western literary system experienced this change at the level of model projection, through the selection and 'valorising of the literary legacy' or through the imposition of new ideology models and value scales. The silence or even the blame on a great number of writers and significant names in culture, selective re-publication on politicizing criteria, or the distortion of the meaning of the work through dogmatic/ideological interpretations, all these functioned as aggressively upon forming generations. In this perspective, the main target of the debate is the accomplishment of an integrated research, having as a novelty element the double perspective, literary and critical, regarding the pressure of the political / ideological / social factor upon the reflection of literature in the cultural milieu of the post-totalitarian milieu and its impact on the social model, with focus on the extent to which the critical / literary discourse revives ' the literary legacy', or the imposition of new ideology models and value scales. 2.
