  • Gellu Naum in Heterotopia
    НАУЧНИ ТРУДОВЕ НА РУСЕНСКИЯ УНИВЕРСИТЕТ - 2009, том 48, серия 6.3 Gellu Naum in Heterotopia Brînduşa Dragomir Abstract: The paper relates the concept of heterotopia, created by Michel Foucault, with Avant-garde, surrealist poetry, and with Gellu Naum’s poetry in particular. Michel Foucault’s concept provides a means of approaching the avant-garde literature from outside the literary ground, rejected by the Avant-garde writers. Transfered to literature, this concept makes it possible for the Avant-garde to preserve its particular characteristics, opening new, interesting perspectives for the analysis of these obscure texts. Key words: heterotopia, Avant-garde, Surrealism. In an article published in 1984, reproducing the text of a conference in 1967, Of Other Spaces, which was translated in Romanian by Bogdan Ghiu, Michael Foucault – phylosopher, literary analist, historian and sociologist, formulates and proposes the concept of heterotopia. Discussing the obsessions that mark the collective mentality, Michael Foucault affirms that the epoch we live in is an “epoch of space”, just as the nineteenth century belonged to history. “We are in the epoch of simultaneity: we are in the epoch of juxtaposition, the epoch of the near and far, of the side-by-side, of the dispersed. We are at a moment. I believe, when our experience of the world is less that of a long life developing through time than that of a network that connects points and intersects with its own skein.” The author underlines the fact that the concept of space does not represent an innovation, but it has a history of its own, and he gives as an example the case of the Middle Ages – period in which space was regarded as “a hierarchic ensemble of places: sacred places and profane plates: protected places and open, exposed places: urban places and rural places (all these concern the real life of men).

  • Dialectica Imaginarului În Opera Lui Gellu Naum
    Dialectica imaginarului în opera lui Gellu Naum Titlul eseului nostru critic, Dialectica imaginarului în opera lui Gellu Naum, sintetizează, într­o formulă tehnică, intenţia de a investiga textul poetic al unui mare scriitor român suprarealist din perspectiva deschiderilor semantice proprii conceptului de ,,imaginar”. De aceea, incursiunea în opera poetului a presupus, mai întâi, actualizarea reflexelor dominante ale acestui termen, marcate de cercetătorul Jean Burgos, conjugate cu cele ale lui Gilbert Durand şi ale lui Gaston Bachelard. Acceptarea imaginarului nu ca o structură de imagini, ci ca o structurare, o devenire a acestora, niciodată finită şi definită, reactualizată prin actul lecturii, al receptării operei, ne­a creat spaţiul unei ample cuprinderi a operei lui Gellu Naum, în sensul configurării specificităţii acesteia. Raportarea imaginarului la estetica suprarealismului, curent literar de avangardă din secolul trecut, ale cărui ecouri surprind şi astăzi, a relevat ideea că, în ansamblul său, acest concept suportă abordarea ca un posibil reflex al doctrinei suprarealiste, prin caracterul său deschis, discontinuu, supus intuiţiei şi viziunii creatorului său. Având în vedere aceste delimitări, am învestit structura ,,dialectica imaginarului” cu valenţele unei metode hermeneutice, opţiune ce ne­a orientat structurarea demersului nostru analitic în cinci părţi, structurare impusă şi de vastitatea şi plurisemantismul operei lui Gellu Naum. Prima secvenţă a lucrării, Profilul biobibliografic adnotat (cu opinii ale autorului şi ale

  • Surrealism, Occultism and Politics
    Surrealism, Occultism and Politics This volume examines the relationship between occultism and Surrealism, specif- ically exploring the reception and appropriation of occult thought, motifs, tropes and techniques by surrealist artists and writers in Europe and the Americas from the 1920s through the 1960s. Its central focus is the specific use of occultism as a site of political and social resistance, ideological contestation, subversion and revolution. Additional focus is placed on the ways occultism was implicated in surrealist dis- courses on identity, gender, sexuality, utopianism and radicalism. Dr. Tessel M.

Am crezut chiar cã vom putea face un taifas adevãrat mult mai curând – dar mereu a intervenit câte un motiv întemeiat de amânare a drumeþiei mele. Acum sper ca 1982 sã fie anul Vacanþei dorite. O carte a apãrut în Ajunul Crãciunului – alte trei urmeazã a apãrea în lunile urmãtoare. Dar acum sunt doar un simplu colindãtor Îþi doresc – eu ºi ai mei – Un An Nou aºa cum þi-l doreºti tu, Jose Lezama Lima (Cuba) aºa cum þi-l dorim noi Un An vesel generos senin ...Iar nouã ne dorim sã ne putem bucura de tine, de verva, fantezia ºi minunata ta cãldurã umanã.

  • Romanian Avant-Garde Puppetry, Drama
    ASU presents Romanian avant-garde puppetry, drama September 23, 2010 The Book of Apolodor Puppet Show September 25, 2010 7 p.m. Paris Bucharest Express September 26, 2010 7 p.m. For many families living in Romania under communist rule after World War II, a disguised, underground cultural life was their primary escape. This weekend, Phoenix area Americans can experience the liberating message when theater becomes political tribune in two productions at ASU Tempe campus: “Book of Apolodor” is a puppet show based on the stories of Romanian Surrealist poet, Gellu Naum; “Paris Bucharest Express” is a dramatic play adapted from poetry and writings of the Romanian avant-garde. "Apolodor" will be performed by Romanian actors in English. "Bucharest Express" will be performed by members of the French troupe, La Compagnie Cie de L’Echo, in French with English subtitles. The productions are the product of collaboration between ASU Romanian Studies professor Ileana Orlich and Mona Marian, the director of the Puck Puppet Theatre in Cluj-Napoca, Romania and the Theatre Denis in Hyeres, France. They met ten years ago in Bucharest while Orlich was conducting ASU’s summer Study Abroad program in Romania and Central Europe. Since then they have collaborated on several theatrical productions based on writings of the Romanian avant-garde. Marian said, “The subject of these performances is not unfamiliar to American culture. The plays show that Romania, France and the United States are connected, through the avant-garde, across continents.” Romania’s avant-garde was a group of artists and writers who were very influential to the broader European avant-garde movement at the beginning of the 20th century.

  • Omanians and the Nobel Prizes for Science and Literature
    Revista Română de Studii Baltice şi Nordice, Vol. 4, Issue 1 (2012): pp. 83-104 OMANIANS AND THE NOBEL PRIZES FOR SCIENCE AND LITERATURE R Vasilica Sirbu Ph.D. in History at “Al.I. Cuza University of Iași”, Associated Researcher at University of Oslo, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract : There is much to be said about the Nobel Prizes. Numerous pages are written each year to promote, describe, analyze and criticize the prizes, their initiator and their evolution since 1901. The purpose of this study is to bring back to light from the dust of the archives information about those Romanians who were ahead of their times through their outstanding thinking and understanding of the world. Little has been written about those nominated, since it has been considered more relevant to focus on the winners. There were plentiful creative minds who only needed an opportunity to be known to the world. Famous Romanian names show up from the archives and the nomination database provided by the Nobel Institution and enable us to get a broad perspective of the nominators and the nominees. Ironically, as in the case of the Nobel Peace Prize, most of those who genuinely had a chance to win were never nominated. Rezumat: Articolul de faţă vine să continue prezentarea despre Premiile Nobel pentru Pace publicată în numărul anterior al acestei reviste. Daca până astăzi nu există nici un laureat român al Premiului pentru Pace, în domeniul medicinei şi literaturii românii au fost mai norocoşi. Cercetările medicale efectuate de minţi româneşti în laboratoare performante puse la dispoziţie de universităţi străine au condus la obţinerea mult râvnitului Premiu Nobel.

  • “Rupture” in the Poets of the “War Generation”
    Section – Literature GIDNI THE SPIRIT OF REBELLION AND THE AESTHETIC OF “RUPTURE” IN THE POETS OF THE “WAR GENERATION” Sorin Ivan, Assoc. Prof., PhD, ”Titu Maiorescu” University of Bucharest Abstract: In the landscape of outstanding aesthetic diversity of Romanian literature of the ‘40s, the ”War Generation” plays a special role. The young writers, mostly poets, grouped around the Albatros magazine, advocates the separation from the literary tradition, from the ”outdated” aesthetic canons, and the renewal of poetry. In their vision, poetry should descent in the immediate reality, inspire from the everyday existence, from its mundane, common, bleak aspects, from the ugly and sordid, on behalf of the genuine life, unfalsified by anachronistic canons, patterns and visions. The new aesthetic involves the refusal of aesthetics, exploitation of reality and existence in all respects, the aesthetic of ugliness, in an anti-aesthetic and ”antipoetic” vision. The poets write on behalf of the future, and their poetry is crossed by a messianic air. The war offers them a fruitful framework of objectification of their conception of poetry. Fundamentally polemical, the new poetry assumes a prophetic function in the dramatic wait for the new times. The aesthetic ”revolution” started by the young poets will be suddenly stopped yet by the institution of the communist regime in Romania.
