Vol. II 3 Zaharia STANCU 1902—1974 Dac[ d[m deoparte versurile ocazionale, avem surpriza de a descoperi ]n volumul C`ntec =optit (1971) un imagist profund =i un elegiac cu sim\ muzical. Versurile mai vechi ale lui Zaharia Stancu cultivau o bucolic[ aspr[ =i o erotic[ p[tima=[. Natura r[m`ne =i ]n poemele de acum cadrul esen\ial, numai c[ poetul o prive=te cu un ochi melancolizant, ]nfiorat de ideea mor\ii. Cele mai frumoase versuri sunt (le spune chiar autorul!) ni=te roman\e naive, unde este vorba de ]mb[tr`nire =i singur[tate, de ierburi, p[duri =i de moarte, teme eterne, tratate de Zaharia Stancu ]n stilul unui animism nostalgic: „Nu-mi mai num[ra anii =i zilele, Tot n-o s[ afli c`t mai am de tr[it. 4 Eugen Simion }n dumbrava din marginea satului C`nt`nd, cucul a r[gu=it. Dragoste, nu mai s[rut pe nimeni, Nu mai fumez nici m[car o \igare. Alt[dat[ zburam ca un zmeu, Acum ca un l[stun de mare. Port pe t`mple fulgi de argint, Nimeni nu se-nghesuie s[ mi-i fure. Ca s[ tai stejarii rota\i, }\i trebuie nu cu\it, ci secure. Seara vine cu pa=i alba=tri, Noaptea cu iepuri de catifea. Unii oameni se plimb[ pe lun[, Eu numai pe-aceast[ =ubred[ stea. Iarba e iarb[ =i pe-ntuneric, +i-n miezul nop\ii r[m`n vii florile. Roua se destram[ atunci C`nd o calc[ ]n t[lpi zorile. Nu-mi mai socoti anii =i zilele, Tot n-o s[ afli c`t mai am de tr[it. }n dumbrava din marginea satului C`nt`nd, cucul a r[gu=it.“ Farmecul acestor versuri vine din simplitatea =i sinceritatea lor. Ele au o simbolistic[ elementar[, ]ns[ plin[ de gravitate =i cu rezonan\e ad`nci. Sabia eseninian[ alearg[ peste z[pezile tim- pului (Gr`u =i p[l[mid[), un lup misterios =i crud ]nghite zilele =i nop\ile, vremea gone=te cu cercei ro=ii la urechi. Lirismul este aproape procesual =i urmeaz[ ]ndeaproape rit- murile naturii. Materia plesne=te de vitalitate sau se preg[te=te s[ intre ]ntr-o agonie bl`nd[, luminoas[. Anotimpurile se succed Scriitori rom`ni de azi. Vol. II 5 implacabil, =i ]n succesiunea lor poetul cite=te ireversibilitatea destinului. G`ndul trecerii inevitabile st[p`ne=te aceste poeme cu ape limpezi =i p[duri ]n care tr[iesc, ]ntr-o curioas[ ]nfr[\ire, iepuri galbeni =i vulpi sure, cerbi cu coarne r[muroase, ursoaice lene=e, grase, arici cu ochi ro=ii, iscoditori, =i coco=i ]nfumura\i =i pre- zum\io=i (La mine-n p[dure). Adolescent fiind, poetul a c[l[rit ca sf`ntul Gheorghe pe un arm[sar alb, focos, apoi, t`n[r — ars de v[p[ile iubirii —, a umblat pe un cal porumbac, schimbat =i acesta, mai t`rziu, cu un cal murg. Acum a=teapt[ al patrulea cal, desigur negru (Al patrulea cal). Al\i =apte cai alearg[ ]nspuma\i pe un c`mp alb =i se pierd dincolo de zare (Caii). }ntr-alt loc, patru cai negri trag o c[ru\[ pe un c`mp nesf`r=it, sub un soare nemi=cat, simbol al naturii perene, ]n opunere cu destinul vremelnic al omului: „M[ plimb pe c`mp cu c[ru\a. La ea sunt ]nh[ma\i patru cai negri. Uneori caii se v[d, alteori nu se v[d. Copitele lor sunt potcovite cu aur, Scap[r[ ]ntruna, scap[r[-ntruna, C`mpul n-are ]nceput, n-are sf`r=it. Deasupra, cerul albastru, boltit, +i soarele, nemi=cat ]n amiaz[, Nici nu r[sare soarele, nici n-apune, St[ mereu nemi=cat, ]n amiaz[. Dau cu biciul ]n cai, caii alearg[, Dau cu biciul ]n soare, soarele tace, Tace =i r[m`ne tot nemi=cat. Mi-e dor de-un amurg, ori mi-e dor De-un proasp[t r[s[rit, Dar soarele st[ pe loc, nu se mi=c[, Dau cu biciul ]n cai, caii alearg[. C[ru\a alearg[, alearg[...“ Simbolurile sunt vizibile =i chiar previzibile, ]ns[ tocmai fuga de complica\ie, de ambiguitate =i abstrac\iune — ]ntr-o literatur[ 6 Eugen Simion prea complicat[ =i abstract[, cum este cea de azi, — constituie originalitatea =i profunzimea acestor poezii ]ntoarse ]n chip programatic la temele fundamentale. }naintea tuturor este pre- sim\irea sf`r=itului, figurat[ ]n mai multe feluri. O roman\[ pune, eminescian, acest sentiment sub semnul timpului ce cre=te ame- nin\[tor ]n urm[, ]nghi\ind totul: „Via\a mea a fost miere =i fum, Acum e drojdie, acum. Ce alb[, ce tras[ mi-e figura!... M`ine nimeni n-o s[-mi s[rute gura, Nimeni n-o s[ mai ]mi s[rute gura...“ Alta (Roman\[ naiv[) trage acela=i motiv ]n simbolul saniei de argint ce alearg[ nebune=te pe un lac ]nghe\at. +i mai direct, Zaharia Stancu vorbe=te de amurg, de iubiri pierdute, de cea\a ce se las[ peste lucruri, de o natur[ — ]n fine — atins[ de o boal[ misterioas[ (Acum te-am v[zut ca prin cea\[, Dragoste, }n p[durea veche, b[tr`n[, Peisaj). Ritmica materiei este ]ncetinit[ =i, adap- t`ndu-se ei, versurile devin leg[n[toare, muzicale, =optite, cum zice poetul. Citindu-le, ne dau senza\ia unei unduiri de s[lcii pl`ng[toare deasupra unui r`u negru, de tremurare de plopi ]nal\i =i sub\iri ]n amurg, de b[taie lin[ de valuri. Iat[ transpus[ aceast[ viziune naturistic[ ]ntr-un poem admirabil: „Seara vine cu cerbi, cu bouri, V`n[torii m`njesc zarea de s`nge. Se bucur[ ]n iaz broa=tele ochioase, Luna ciuntit[ c`nd r`de, c`nd pl`nge. +ireata vulpe albastr[ a nop\ii Se furi=eaz[ printre z[pezi. Trebuie s[ ai un ochi ]n frunte Dac[ \ii negre=it s-o vezi.“ Scriitori rom`ni de azi. Vol. II 7 Sunt ]n volum =i versuri cu un ritm mai precipitat =i o viziune mai polemic[. Acestea ]=i trag am[r[ciunea din cucuta vechilor poeme sau transpun ]n catrene ceea ce autorul a dezvoltat pe larg ]n prozele lui. Multe versuri din aceast[ categorie sunt demne de a fi semnalate. Preferin\ele noastre merg ]ns[ spre elegiile pline de demnitate =i suferin\[ senin[ din roman\ele naive =i jeluitoare. * * * Poetul ]=i reia temele ]n Sabia timpului (1972), volum in- titulat, ]ntr-un proiect anterior, C`ntecul lebedei. +i aici e vorba de iezi =i de cai, de tinere\e =i moarte, de singur[tate =i ]m- b[tr`nire, ]n acela=i stil poetic elementar =i melodic. Versul renun\[ la orice ornamenta\ie =i se rote=te ]n jurul ideii de dispari\ie, cu o senza\ie totu=i de clocot al lumii vegetale. Sentimentul pieirii se asociaz[, ca la Arghezi, cu fascina\ia lumii materiale. Stingerea provoac[, printr-o conjura\ie de for\e mis- terioase, o intensificare a vie\ii ]n sfera naturii. P[durea fream[t[ de ur=i =i de cerbi, c`mpurile de =oric[rime =i p[s[ri, iarba ]=i croie=te prin ]ntunericul p[m`ntului un drum spre lumin[, peste tot e o senza\ie de prefaceri obscure, de coacere =i ]mplinire, un ritm implacabil al vie\ii. Moartea e o plecare, o rupere din in- timitatea lucrurilor, urmat[ de o ]ntoarcere (]n chipul poeziei populare) la ritmurile v`rstei minerale: „}n cur`nd am s[ plec dintre voi, Nu =tiu ]ncotro o s[ plec, dar o s[ plec. }mi voi deschide larg aripile +i voi zbura prin v[zduhul uscat =i sec. }n cur`nd am s[ plec dintre voi — A=a e legea =i nu pot s-o schimb, Dar ]mi voi lua cu mine sufletul, Sufletul, al trupului nimb. }l voi \ine str`ns tare de m`n[, Nu =tiu ]ncotro ]l voi duce, dar am s[-l duc. 8 Eugen Simion Pe drum voi sufla asupra lui, Lacrimile din ochi s[ i le usuc. Hai, inim[, nu-\i fie team[, Ce tare te-am pus s[ ba\i, =i-ai b[tut, Acum a sosit ora t[cerii, Dar ]nainte de a t[cea, te s[rut. Tu, r`ule, s[ curgi mai departe, Tu, p[dure, s[ fream[\i mereu. Cu globul care alearg[ prin spa\iu Va alerga =i trupul meu.“ Lirismul, naiv =i rafinat, este aproape inanalizabil. Elementele cele mai simple, tocite de vreme, ]=i recap[t[ puritatea =i tragismul originar. Ce e via\a? Ce e tinere\ea? Unde ne ducem? sunt ]ntreb[ri care, introduse ]n confesiunea poetului =i umplute de via\[, trezesc ]n noi ideea destinului =i, fatal, pe aceea a trecerii inevitabile. Originalitatea lui Zaharia Stancu este, vorbind de aceste lucruri grave, s[ fug[ de literatur[, s[ evite medita\ia complicat[, no- t`ndu-=i direct melancoliile: „Sunt obosit. Mi-e capul ca un butoi plesnit +i trupul tot acuma m[ ustur[ ca rana Pe care fl[c[ri ro=ii =i-au desf[cut n[frama +i marea ]n furtun[ nisipul =i-a zv`rlit.

  • The Romanian Philosophical Historiography During the Proletcult Period
    Trivent Publishing © The Authors, 2016 Available online at http://trivent-publishing.eu/ Series: Philosophy, Communication, Media Sciences Volume: Communication Today: An Overview from Online Journalism to Applied Philosophy The Romanian Philosophical Historiography during the Proletcult Period Gabriela Esch West University of Timişoara, Romania Abstract My work starts from the assumption that there is a proletcultist philosophy. What follows next are only a few chapters and it represents only the first steps in proving the truth of this supposition. The first part of this study aims to reconceptualise and reinterpret the proletcult1 period in Romania. The second section highlights aspects linked to the impact of the Proletckult in the Russian society. Furthermore, it includes a redefinition of proletcultism itself. The events which unfolded in society during the proletcult period are reflected in the culture and philosophy of the proletariat. The proletcultism, in philosophy, is a liquidation program of the philosophy, of termination of any effort of thinking. Jdanov’s work, a soviet citizen, is a work with a programmatic character. The Romanians followed in the proletcult period the soviet models. “Jdanovism” is the analysis of Andrey Alexandrovich Jdanov’s work “On G. F. Alexandrov’s The History of Western Philosophy.” This paper includes a number of prescriptions that form the model for discussing proletcultist philosophy. Keywords Proletkult; proletcultism; proletarian culture; socialist realism; proletcultist philosophy. 1 The term “proletcult” refers to the cultural movement, while “proletkult” refers to the organization.

  • LITERATURE Iulian Boldea, Dumitru-Mircea Buda, Cornel Sigmirean
    Iulian Boldea, Dumitru-Mircea Buda, Cornel Sigmirean (Editors) MEDIATING GLOBALIZATION: Identities in Dialogue Arhipelag XXI Press, 2018 THE FORCEFUL CONVERSION OF THE THEATRE PEOPLE DURING THE COMMUNISM Centa-Mariana Artagea (Solomon) PhD Student, ”Dun ărea de Jos” University of Gala ți Abstract: The post revolutionary literary histories talk about the radicalism of communism, about the various answers of the Romanian intellectuals, from the outrageous faction to the optimistic collaboration. However, it is fascinating to analyze authentic documents in which to discover the relations between the people of the regime and literati, especially on limited temporal units and specific events. The press after 1947 has monitored and influenced cultural life, as did the Theater magazine, whose articles from the first years of founding (1956-1960) offer us the opportunity to discover the insoluble dialogue between the two worlds, political and literary. The dramaturgy at that time appears to us, subjected to the drama of forcing itself into the only artistic pattern validated by the political authority that had to echo like an ovation. Keywords: dramaturgy, communism, conversion, press, monitoring In 1956, June 18-23, the Communists besieged the Romanian literature, wishing to boldly condemn the official passage from the rules formulated in the press after "liberation" to the new “list of laws” announced at the first Congress of Writers of the Romanian People's Republic, in Bucharest, as we learn from the Theater magazine, the June issue of the same year. Because "the literary press is the first and most faithful mirror of the degradation of literary life" 1, the analysis of this journal, insisting on the year of the first Congress of Writers and its echoes in the sixth decade, will give us data on customized conversion to the new ideological directions of thespians, with aesthetic implications.

Abstract The events of 1956 (the Twentieth CPSU Congress, Khrushchev’s Secret Speech, and the Hungarian revolution) had a strong impact on the evolution of the Romanian communist regime, paving the way for the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Roma- nia in 1958, the stricter policy toward the Transylvanian Hungarians, and Romania’s greater independence from the USSR in the 1960s.

  • Stalinism Revisited Stalinism Revisited
    CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK Stalinism Revisited Stalinism Revisited Stalinism Revisited brings together representatives of multiple generations to create a rich examination The Establishment of Communist Regimes in East-Central Europe of the study and practice of Stalinism. While the articles are uniformly excellent, the book’s signal contribution is to bring recent research from Eastern European scholars to an English-speaking audience. Thus the volume is not just a “state of the discipline” collection, in which articles are collected to reflect that current situation of scholarship in a given field; instead, this one includes cutting edge scholarship that will prompt more of the same from other scholars in other fields/subfields. I would recommend this book highly to anyone interested in understanding the technology of Stalinism in both StalinismStalinism thought and practice. Nick Miller Boise State University The Sovietization of post-1945 East-Central Europe—marked by the forceful imposition of the Soviet- type society in the region—was a process of massive socio-political and cultural transformation. Despite its paramount importance for understanding the nature of the communist regime and its RevisitedRevisited legacy, the communist take-over in East Central European countries has remained largely under- researched. Two decades after the collapse of the communist system,Stalinism Revisited brings together a remarkable international team of established and younger scholars, engaging them in a critical re-evaluation of the institutionalization of communist regimes in East-Central Europe and of the period of “high Stalinism.” Sovietization is approached not as a fully pre-determined, homogeneous, and monolithic transformation, but as a set of trans-national, multifaceted, and inter-related processes of large-scale institutional and ideological transfers, made up of multiple “takeovers” in various fields.

He was an historian, stamp and coin aficionado, treasurer of archives, specialized book collector, avid correspondent, and a language passionate whose work drew on an encyclopedic knowledge of the Eastern world, from Central and Eastern Europe to Central Asia and Southeast Asia, but who remained at heart a Romanian historian. He was a professor of Eastern European History at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from 1967 until 2019 when he retired. Hitchins was born in Schenectady, NY to Henry, a business ads writer, and Lillian Turrian, a homemaker related to the Vanderbilt family. His maternal great-parents descended from German- and French- speaking areas in Switzerland, while his father was of English ancestry. Living at the peak of a great passion for politics among the Americans, Keith grew up in a union family, recollecting gatherings on holidays when he was mindful not to offend the sensibilities of his grandmother, a Republican state committeewoman, and those of his grandfather, an organizer of a steel union. He was sent to a grade school that taught kindergarten to twelfth grade in a building with only two rooms in rural New York, at a time when the centralization of schools was underway, and parents didn't value education.

  • Personal Power and Elite Change in Romania
    FINAL REPORT T O NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR SOVIET AND EAST EUROPEAN RESEARC H TITLE : PERSONAL POWER AND ELITE CHANG E IN ROUMANIA AUTHOR : Vladimir Tismanean u CONTRACTOR : Foreign Policy Researc h Institut e PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR : Vladimir Tismanean u COUNCIL CONTRACT NUMBER : 903-0 4 DATE : August, 198 9 The work leading to this report was supported by funds provided b y the National Council for Soviet and East European Research . The analysis and interpretations contained in the report are those o f the author . 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Personal Power and Elite Change in Romania by Vladimir Tismaneanu Panegyrics to Ceauşescu and the ostensible conformity of the Romanian population notwithstanding, the Ceau şescu regime is probably the most unstable in East-Central Europe. Despite the grooming of Ceau ş escu's son Nicu for th e succession, it is highly likely that upon Ceau şescu's death, or even before, there will be a struggle for power and the emergence of a powerful anti-Ceau ş escu coalition made up of party apparatchiks, technocrats, and intellectuals . Romania exemplifies an unusual pattern among communist countries fo r the transition from oligarchic to autocratic leadership : the gradual elimination of independent-minded bureaucrats and the takeover by a clique of blood relatives . The factors that have contributed to the development of a deep an d potentially explosive social, political, and economic crisis in Romania include : a highly centralized model of leadership based on clan instead of party dictatorship ; an obedient and demoralized political class ; reliance on coercive methods o f domination ; and Ceau ş escu's opposition to glasnost-style reforms .
