ENLithuanian literature is deeply related to politics and history. Culture became a way for a nation to survive. Literature helped to raise national identity and to restore the rights for statehood and a valuable existence. In the era of Soviet occupation literature responded with literary expressionism of catastrophic modernism, metaphorical point of view and “lithuanisation of the world”. The last decades of Lithuanian literary discourse are dedicated to restore the nation’s rights and truth of history after the long-term ideological damage of alienation (deformation time). This literary stream could be named as the new historism. It strongly relies upon the scientific documentary research of collected memoirs, photographs and archives. The new historism opens up critical options not only for a literary discourse, but also for music, cinema, visual art, re-established nation’s Self, and sources for literary and political creativity.
