EMINESCU and ROMANIAN NATION VASILE CÂNDEA This Is The
EMINESCU AND ROMANIAN NATION VASILE CÂNDEA Abstract. This opening speech emphasizes the plurality of preoccupations of a complex Romanian personality, the Romanian national poet, journalist, philosopher and publicist, and among these the manner of conceiving the evolution of Romanian nationality in relation to the western European civilisation of the time. Eminescu meditated at the status of the Romanian nation and at the Romanian civilisation, with attention for the affirmation of the national values, for the consolidation of the cultural unity of all Romanians and for the accomplishment of the Romanian national state, within its ethnical borders. Key words: Eminescu, Romanian nation, Romanian civilisation. This is the opening of the symposium on Eminescu of the Department of Philosophy, Theology, Psychology and Journalism of the Academy of Romanian Scientists at the occasion of the commemoration of 122 years since the death of the “unpaired poet” another great poet, Nichita Stănescu titled him. For me, of an entirely different trade, seems an impiety to express authorised opinions concerning the work of this giant of the Romanian literature and culture. Eminescu’s work was the subject of numerous studies, commentaries, analyses and interpretations signed by various personalities with resonance in the history of Romanian culture such as: Titu Maiorescu, Garabet Ibrăileanu, Nicolae Iorga, Eugen Lovinescu, Perpessicius, I. Negoiţescu, Petru Creţia, Acad. Dan Berindei, Acad. Alexandru Surdu, Ilie Bădescu, Svetlana Paleologu-Matta, C. Schifirneţ, etc. It seems that once he was labelled as a “genius poet”, the rest of his work slipped into the shadows, as it happened for instance with his journalistic work, expressing a manner of thinking and understanding the world through particular ideas and visions, entirely original. -

Strategies of 'Aesopian Language' in Romanian Literary Criticism Under
SLOVO , VOL. 24, NO . 2 (A UTUMN 2012), 75-95. The Rhetoric of Subversion: Strategies of ‘Aesopian Language’ in Romanian Literary Criticism under Late Communism ANDREI TERIAN Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, Romania This paper analyses the subversive strategies of ‘Aesopian language’ with reference to the discourse of the Romanian literary criticism written under late communism (1971-1989). The first two sections of the paper signal certain gaps and inconstancies in defining Aesopian language and in delineating its forms of manifestation; at the same time, they explain the spread of this subversive practice in the political and cultural context of Romanian communism. The following three sections analyse the manner in which Aesopian language materialized in the writings of some of the most important contemporary Romanian critics: Mircea Iorgulescu, Nicolae Manolescu and Mircea Martin. The final section of the study considers a revision of the current definitions of Aesopian language (through the concept of “triggers” theorized in this paper), a new classification of the rhetorical strategies acting globally in a subversive text, as well as a re-evaluation of the relevance of Aesopian language in the context of ‘resistance through culture’, which was the main form of opposition against the communist regime in Romania. INTRODUCTION In the Foreword to his famous pamphlet Imperialism: the Highest Stage of Capitalism (1917), V.I. Lenin cautioned his readers that the paper had been written ‘with an eye to the tsarist censorship’; therefore, he had found it essential to render his subversive doctrine ‘with extreme caution, by hints, in an allegorical language – in that accursed Aesopian language – to which tsarism compelled all revolutionaries to have recourse whenever they took up the pen to write a “legal” work’. -
The Identity of the Romanian Pre-Avant-Garde
Études et articles THE IDENTITY OF THE ROMANIAN PRE-AVANT-GARDE Dr. Paul DUGNEANU “Ovidius” University of Constanţa [email protected] Rezumat: În evoluţia şi dialectica fenomenului literar de la sfârşitul secolului al XIX-lea şi începutul secolului al XX-lea, se observă o perioadă de declin artistic, de confirmare a curentelor şi a mişcărilor literare, perioadă care neagă tradiţia şi care, prin intermediul unor elemente importante, vine să anunţe avangarda istorică. Ne referim aici la o serie de curente literare şi artistice ce conţin un set de trăsături similare, cu un fetiş pentru noutatea care şochează şi un suport oferit valorilor generale şi în mod normal acceptate, fără să conţină forţa de penetrare, agresivitate, coerenţă sau împrăştiere a avangardei actuale: fauvism, cubism, futurism, imagism, vorticism şi altele. Cuvinte cheie: Pre-avangardă, anti-tradiţionalism, manifest poetic, post-simbolism, program- articol, arhitext Abstract: In the evolution and dialectics of the literary phenomenon at the end of the XIX century and the beginning of the XX century we can note a period of artistic fizzle, of confirming literary currents and movements, that vehemently deny the tradition and which, through some important elements, shall announce the historical avant-garde. We are referring to a series of artistic and literary currents, with a set of similar features, having a fetish for the shocking novelty and bracketing of the established and generally accepted values, without having the force of penetration, aggressiveness, coherence and spreading of the actual avant-garde: the fauvism, cubism, futurism, imagism, vorticism and others. Keywords: Pre-avantgarde, anti-traditionalism, poetic manifest, post-symbolist, programme- article, archi-text. -

In the late eighties, liberal democracy continued the expansion started after World War II, at least in Europe. Meanwhile, national states have weakened, under the pressure to liberalize trade and the fight for recognition of minority (ethnic, poli- Review tical, sexual, etc.) movements.

U.S. last two elections favored the advocates of “change”, and the policy reorientation of the first world power does not remain without consequences for all mankind. On the stage of the producers of the world, China and Germany are now the first exporters. Russia lies among the powers that cannot be ignored in a serious political approach. (...)

O anumită "saturaţie" sau chiar un anumit "refuz" faţă de autorul Luceafărului – şi nu mă gîndesc doar şi nici în primul rînd la acea, pe nedrept numită astfel, "campanie antieminesciană" "pusă la cale" în revista "Dilema" –, are / au, se poate lesne presupune, numeroase cauze: nu doar cultul exacerbat al Poetului şi "sărbătorirea" lui de două ori pe an (mereu – ca şi cum s-ar întîmpla cînd şi cînd), revenirea mai de fiecare dată, la aceleaşi texte şi interpretarea nedisimulat naţionalistă a lor (recitarea, în public sau la televiziune a Doinei, comentariul, desigur, superficial, al acestei poezii şi al altora asemănătoare, devenise nu numai semnul unui mare "curaj" civic, dar şi o victorie exegetică, de parcă acolo s-ar afla chintesenţa eminescianităţii) – deci nu numai asemenea fapte sînt răspunzătoare de înstrăinarea reală a multora dintre noi 6 Studii eminescologice faţă de Eminescu, ci şi, poate paradoxal, inexistenţa, pînă în 1994, a unei ediţii integrale şi ştiinţifice a operelor lui. -
Book Reviews REVISITING the AVANT-GARDES
SWEDISH JOURNAL OF ROMANIAN STUDIES Book reviews REVISITING THE AVANT-GARDES Marius MIHEȚ University of Oradea, Romania/ Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovak Republic e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The tome written by Paul Cernat, a known specialist of the avant-gardes, analyzes the anatomy and human blueprints set out by the Romanian and European avant-gardes found under the immediate influence of the symbolic year of 1933. The “amphibian” nature of these radicalisms is characteristic for an entire process of modernization. That is why Paul Cernat critically revisits all of the marquee and obscure cases, offering us a critical panoramic view that invites novel re- assessments. The studies are written using a blend of tools you might see a literary historian and a portraitist wield in their work, a blend that lets shine truly special expressive abilities, and qualities in terms of synthesis. Whether tackling famous names, household figures from around the world – such as Ionescu and Blecher – or discussing the work of more provincial or minor writers, the author withholds from us no memorable quote. An essential study for those interested in the phenomenon of the Romanian avant-garde. Key words: Romanian avant-garde; radicalism; re-reading; surrealism; absurd; The first chapter, Căderea în modernitate (Falling into Modernity), focuses on Eminescu’s destiny in the group Junimea [The Youth] as a form of nihilistic avant-garde. What we know for certain from reading this section is that Paul Cernat always exhibits more conceptual possibilities than the subjects he chooses. I would venture to say that his subject matter is always beneath his critical level. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT The subject of this thesis is the development of a literary culture among the Romanians in the period 1829-1890; the effect of this development on the Romanians’ drive towards social modernization and political independence; and the way in which the idea of literature (as both concept and concrete manifestation) and the idea of the Romanian nation shaped each other. I concentrate on developments in the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia (which united in 1859, later to form the old Kingdom of Romania). I begin with an outline of general social and political change in the Principalities in the period to 1829, followed by an analysis of the image of the Romanians in European public opinion, with particular reference to the state of cultural institutions (literacy, literary activity, education, publishing, individual groups) and their evaluation for political purposes. -

Orfeu, miticul cântăreţ al antichităţii, defineşte cu a- ceste cuvinte chemarea poetului, care este lauda lumii, preamjăf rirea, „das Rühmen". Poezia e sărbătoarea sentimentului, spune poetul într'un alt loc. Exprimă aceeaşi idee. Poezia este o stare de transportare a sufletului, o „sfântă nebunie". Poeţii mari de totdeauna, cântăreţul imnului soarelui egiptean, Pindar, Tru badurii, Hoelderlin, Schiller, Keats şi Francis Thompson au „lăudat". Delà unul la altul răsună străvechea preamărire or- fică. Toţi se hrănesc şi se inspiră de esenţa aceea risipită prin misterul morţii orfice, după a cărei tradiţie lira şi capul pri mului mag. al poeziei au fost duse de valurile mării spre ţărmul insulei Lesbos, răspândind esenţa parfumată a divinelor armonii prin talazurile oceanului, care topindu-le, le poartă ca un re flex sonor spre toate ţărmurile lumii.
