Romanian literary studies in the 20th century was characterized by the subordination of comparative perspectives to the national literary historiography, the absence of a strong local methodological tradition, and the dominance of an essayistic and impressionistic brand of criticism. The study focuses on forms of institutionalization of comparative studies in postcommunist Romania (associations, research centers, journals, etc.) and the emergence of several comparative “schools” (particularly those in Timişoara, Cluj and Braşov). Keywords: comparative literature / Romania / Romanian literary criticism / post-communism / institutionalization / internationalization This study proposes a critical account of the current situation of comparative literature in Romania.1 Such an endeavor is justified on at least two levels. On the one hand, a systematic survey of the current situation of Romanian comparatism is absent from international bib- liography. Admittedly, at present, there are several very useful studies of the history of Romanian comparative literature. However, of these, many were published during the communist period (see, e.g., Dima and Papadima) and are no longer relevant nowadays because of their anach- ronism and the tendentious ideologization of their object. Furthermore, studies published over the past two decades are characterized by vari- ous deficiencies, such as the discontinuance of the investigation in the year 1990 (see, for instance, Cornea’s ‘La littérature’, which, otherwise, remains the most pertinent outline of a history of Romanian comparat- ism), the lack of a rigorous delineation of the study object (as is the case of surveys which also cover the work of Romanian-born comparatists 1 Primerjalna književnost (Ljubljana) 36.3 (2013) PKn, letnik 36, št. 3, Ljubljana, december 2013 who emigrated to the West) or a rather depthless approach to this topic (Ursa, ‘Comparative’). On the other hand, my survey is not merely informative; rather, it approaches Romanian comparative studies as a paradigmatic case from at least three points of view: firstly, as an instance of the tension between the national and the transnational, typical of the so-called (semi)peripheral liter- ary systems; secondly, as an expression of the methodological and informa- tional lag still besetting some East-Central European cultures which have not yet completely emerged out of post-communism; finally, as a test of the difficult adjustment that marks literary cultures whose critical tradition still remains largely attached to essayism rather than to academic research. The Institutional and Ideological Background of Romanian Comparative Studies In order to understand the current state of Romanian comparatism, it is useful to start with a historical outline of its institutional and ideological backgrounds. Thus, in terms of its professionalization, the pre-institutional- ized period must be distinguished from its disciplinization. The pre-institu- tionalized period, covering the span of one century (1846–1948), concerns the interval during which comparative literature was practiced in Romania without being established academically as a distinct discipline. The roots of this phenomenon can be traced back (approximately) to 1846, when the polymath Ion Heliade-Rădulescu launched the idea of an ambitious but utopian “Universal Library” which should make the grand oeuvres of clas- sical and modern literatures accessible to Romanian readers. Although the rate of translations into Romanian was fairly high throughout the 19th cen- tury, exegesis was slow to follow suit. In this respect, an important moment is marked by the 1882 study dedicated by Titu Maiorescu, the most impor- tant critic of the era, to the reception of the first translations of Romanian literary works into an international language (German). Maiorescu’s study attempts to integrate such works in the allegedly European fad of the “popular novel” (‘�����������iteratura������’). �nother significantsignifi cant moment is marked durdur-- ing the last decades of the 19th century by the activity of the Marxist critic C� Dobrogeanu-Gherea, who, influenced by Taine and Brandes, published many studies on translation policy and the succession of literary move- ments, and popularized in Romania a series of emerging literatures,
