%0 Journal Article %T The Clones: A New Phenomenon in the Literary Environment. A sociological approach %A Iulia Cornigeanu %J Journal of Comparative Research in Anthropology and Sociology %D 2010 %I University of Bucharest %X The article is an introduction to a rather recent phenomenon present in the Romanian literary environment: ¡°the clones¡±. They are somehow linked to pseudonyms and Pessoa¡¯s heteronyms but at the same time they bring something new in terms of identity, social status and role playing within a community. The sociological perspective in studying ¡°the clones¡± shows, among others, what differentiates the young generation of writers in Romania (¡°Generation 2000¡±) from others and how they have integrated the Internet into their literary lives. %K Writers %K Online communities %K Identity %U http://doctorat.sas.unibuc.ro/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Issue2_IuliaCornigeanu_Clones.pdf
