Now, however, Tudor considered a "national poet" and treated as such. Arghezi becomes once again the poet of questions. Starting with 1960 there is a process through which Arghezi wants to show that he did not forsake his way Arghezi is recovered, after many years (1948-1956) of thinking, but managed to adapt.

  • (Pre)Modern Perspectives in Ioana Em. Petrescu‘S Study "Eminescu and the Mutations of the Romanian Poetry"
    1st International Conference on Foreign Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics May 5-7 2011 Sarajevo ‖Sight‖ – ‖Vision‖ Binomial or the ―Poetic Dwelling‖ of the World: (Pre)Modern Perspectives in Ioana Em. Petrescu‘s Study "Eminescu and the Mutations of the Romanian Poetry" Silviu Mihăilă ―1 Decembrie 1918‖ University of Alba Iulia, Romania [email protected] Abstract: The present study attempts to offer ‗a cartography‘ of the internal ‗morphology‘ of the ‖sight‖ – ‖vision‖ dialectics proposed by Ioana Em. Petrescu in her work, Eminescu and the Mutations of the Romanian Poetry. This internal ‗morphology‘ is analysed from double perspective: from the perspective of the history of the literary ideas and from the point of view of the history of the pre-modern science. We believe that Ioana Em. Petrescu‘s work found its theoretical and conceptual sources primarily in the (pre)modern philosophy theorized by Aristotle, Plato and Tomas Aquinas whose studies were highly read by the Romanian critic. In other words, it is our endeavor to demonstrate the existence of a semantically ontological superposition between the pre-modern text and that of the Romanian critic. Our premise is that the "sight – vision” axis presented in Ioana Em. Petrescu‘s volume underlies in the explanation provided by Aristotle gave to the sense of sight (‗cognition through intellect‘, and noũs – ‗the Eye of the Soul‘). We therefore believe that even if they belong to two different scientific paradigms, the texts of the two authors generate a dialogue between them. Undoubtedly, Ioana Em. Petrescu‘s ―theory of sight‖ initially communicated in an osmotic manner with pre-modern texts; afterwards, the Romanian critic turns her attention to modern concepts of scientificity with a view to sustaining her convictions in the field of literary poetics.

  • Une Vision Critique De La Poésie Roumaine Moderne
    Nicolae Balotă : une vision critique de la poésie roumaine moderne Carmen-Elena Andrei Enseignante, doctorante École doctorale de l’Université d’Oradea Synergies Roumanie Résumé : Nicolae Balotă est, certes, l’une des personnalités les plus marquantes de la culture roumaine du XXe siècle. Par ses préoccupations littéraires actuelles, il tend également à offrir à la littérature roumaine la plus importante œuvre mémorialistique du 197-212 n° 6 - 2011 pp. début du troisième millénaire. Son activité complexe s’est matérialisée à partir de 1965 dans de remarquables études de critique littéraire et essais à ouverture universelle, ce qui offre au lecteur le privilège d’une expérience livresque exceptionnelle. A tout ceci s’ajoutent ses méditations philosophiques et religieuses. Nicolae Balotă entreprend une incursion dans l’ensemble de la culture de l’humanité à travers espaces géographiques et époques offrant par là à la littérature roumaine la chance d’un positionnement correct dans la culture universelle. La présente étude se propose de donner une image concise de l’apport décisif de Nicolae Balotă à la mise en relief du profil de la poésie roumaine moderne. Mots-clés : herméneutique, critique incitative, poètes orphiques, poésie roumaine moderne Abstract: Undoubtedly, Nicolae Balota is one of the most outstanding personalities in the 20-th Century Romanian culture, and through his current literary work he aims to give the masterpiece of the Romanian memoirs at the beginning of the III-rd Millennium. Starting from 1965 up to now, his prodigious work materialized in numerous studies and books of criticism and essays having a universal openness which offers the reader the privilege of an exceptional bookish experience.

  • Ion Caraion. Identification with Arghezi – Solution for Moral Dilemmas
    Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Bra şov Series IV: Philology and Cultural Studies • Vol. 4 (53) No.1 - 2011 ION CARAION. IDENTIFICATION WITH ARGHEZI – SOLUTION FOR MORAL DILEMMAS Mihaela ALECU 1 Abstract: Starting from a text where Ion Caraion presents dimensions of Tudor Arghezi’s biography and literature, I’ve underlined those aspects which reveal the influence that meeting Arghezi had upon Caraion’s future evolution. By presenting Arghezi as an exemplary role model, Caraion creates the opportunity to use whatever resemblance might exist between them to transform the justification of the Arghezi’s actions into an indirect self justification for his own options.
