  • Raul Carstocea Conference Paper
    Dr Raul Cârstocea The Unbearable Virtues of Backwardness: Mircea Eliade’s Conceptualisation of Colonialism and his Attraction to Romania’s Interwar Fascist Movement Work in progress – please do not quote or distribute without the permission of the author In studies of Romanian intellectual history, Mircea Eliade and his multi-faceted academic, literary, and journalistic work occupy a special place. As arguably the Romanian intellectual who is best known internationally, as well as due to his interwar political commitment to the ‘Legion of the Archangel Michael’ (also known as the ‘Iron Guard’), Romania’s native fascist movement, his work has benefitted from unparalleled attention, ranging in tone from unqualified acclaim for his erudition to outright condemnation of his politics, including his alleged anti-Semitism. Surprisingly though, and especially so given the relatively recent interest in exploring the applicability of postcolonial theory to the area of Central and Eastern Europe and the possible intersections and meeting points of post- colonialism and post-socialism (see e.g. Wolff 1994; Bakić-Hayden 1995; Strayer 2001; Carey and Raciborski 2004; Kelertas 2006; Chari and Verdery 2009; Tlostanova 2009; for a criticism of such approaches and an emphasis on the differences between ‘Balkanism’ and ‘Orientalism’ see Todorova 2009; 2010), no studies so far have approached Eliade’s work in light of his experience of India at a pivotal moment in its history, that of the civil disobedience campaign, and of his subsequent reflections on this experience that would markedly influence both his scientific productions and, I argue, his politics. The few exceptions to this pattern relate exclusively to one of his novels, a semi-autobiographical fictionalised account of the love story of Eliade and Maitreyi Devi, daughter of the philosopher Surendranath Dasgupta, Eliade’s host in India (Kamani 1996; Basu 2001; Cirstea 2013).

  • Le Choc Identitaire Dans La Nuit Bengali D'eliade Et It Does Not Die
    Le choc identitaire dans La nuit bengali d’Eliade et It Does not Die de Maitreyi Devi Alexandra Vranceanu1 Université de Bucarest Résumé Cet article se propose d’investiguer les pièges de l’écriture authentique utilisés par Mircea Eliade dans son roman Maitreyi (1933, trad.fr.La nuit Bengali, 1950, trad.eng. Bengal Nights 1994) et par Maitreyi Devi dans sa «réponse» romanesque intitulée Na Hanyate (1974, auto-trad. anglais It Does not Die, 1976). La publication en 1994 par les Presses de l’Université de Chicago des versions en anglais de ces textes dans un même volume a attiré l’attention des critiques, qui les ont lus comme une «guerre» qui se porte entre les représentants de deux cultures en rapport colonial et aussi entre deux sexes. Au lieu de voir ces deux textes qui racontent en apparence la même histoire d’amour comme deux témoignages dans un procès, je vais analyser les techniques narratives employées par leurs auteurs pour transformer la biographie en fiction. Je vais tracer aussi l’histoire de leur réception pour voir comment le changement des codes de lecture qui ont accompagné ces récits au fil du temps dans leur passage entre l’Inde, la Roumanie, la France et les Etas Unis ont pu les influencer. Mots-clés : Mircea Eliade, Maitreyi Devi, littérature roumaine, dialogue interculturel, autofiction, biographie, réception. Le dialogue qui naît entre le roman de Mircea Eliade La nuit bengali (1933), inspiré par son histoire d’amour pour Maitreyi, et la «réponse» donnée par Maitreyi Devi dans It Does not Die (1974) est un cas particulier de contact interculturel qui se trouve aux frontières de plusieurs langues, cultures et formules littéraires.

  • On the Romanian Biographical Novel: Fictional Representation of Mircea Eliade and Ioan Petru Culianu
    On the Romanian Biographical Novel: Fictional Representation of Mircea Eliade and Ioan Petru Culianu Andrei TERIAN Universitatea „Lucian Blaga” din Sibiu, Centrul de Cercetări Filologice și Interculturale “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu, Center for Philological and Intercultural Research B-dul Victoriei 5-7, 550024, Sibiu e-mail: [email protected], web: http://grants.ulbsibiu.ro/wsa Personal e-mail: [email protected] On the Romanian Biographical Novel: Fictiona Representations of Mircea Eliade and Ioan Petru Culianu By choosing as starting point the biographical novels dedicated to Mircea Eliade and Ioan Petru Culianu, this study examines the reluctance shown to this narrative form by contemporary Romanian literature and it also explores some of the structural features of the biographical novel as genre. Thus, despite the obvious reconnection of Romanian literature to the world literary space over the last decades, the suspicion of this cultural system towards fictional processing of biographical data is explained by the post-communist condition of Romanian literature, namely by its imperative to rediscover the historical truths that have been obscured by the communist ideology. Regarding the genre conventions of the biographical novel, this study emphasizes, in contrast to much of contemporary research of this form, its predominantly literary nature, manifested by its polemic placement against modernism aesthetics, by its propensity for certain narrative motives and scenarios, and by the configuration of various specific intertextual webs. Keywords: world literary space, (semi)peripheral literatures, Romanian fiction, biographical novel, modernism, Mircea Eliade, Ioan Petru Culianu The present study tries to provide an indirect the biographical novel in American and Romanian answer to the question whether there is any affinity literature? Next, why does the biographical novel of the between the resurrection of the biographical novel in last decade have a specific fondness for the exploration the last decades and literary modernism1.

  • Namaste”: Representations of India in Sega’S Spiritual Travelogue
    World Literature Studies 2 . vol. 11 . 2019 (31 – 44) ŠTÚDIE / ARTIclEs “Namaste”: Representations of India in Sega’s spiritual travelogue ADRIANA RADUCANU A survey of all the Romanian writers who either focused on or were influenced by the age-old traditions, sacred texts, and mythology of India in their work would make in itself the subject of a book-length study, which is not the aim of the present arti- cle. Nevertheless, the claim that India plays a significant role in Romanian litera- ture should be substantiated, especially since, in its turn, it will serve to contextual- ize the actual topic of the present work. Hence, in the first part I will briefly survey Mihai Eminescu and Mircea Eliade’s works, in view of their relevance in supporting the central position that India holds in Romanian literature. In the second part my focus will be a contemporary work by Sega (the pen name of Octavian Segarceanu): Namaste: A Novel of Spiritual Adventures, whose depiction of India as perceived by the post-modern consciousness of the contemporary man is shaped by a network of multiple (and often antagonistic) cultural influences. Mihai Eminescu, whom the Romanians fondly styled as “the Evening Star of national poetry” (based on his authorship of the eponymous poem) is the undis- putable national poet, a belated European Romantic, still relatively unknown to an international audience, due to his frequently acknowledged untranslatability. His poetry displays a wide range of influences, ranging from Schopenhauer to Buddhist, Christian, agnostic, and atheist themes. Although his India was only “of the mind and spirit”, not of the body – he never travelled there – it constitutes an indisputable marker of his entire oeuvre.
