Thus numerous other authors such as Mihai the woman as the embodiment Eminescu, Mircea Eliade, Gala demonic personalities manifest Galaction correlates thesensual requirements of a devouring. fulfillment with almost morbid attraction to infernal feminity. The inn - the symbol of the passage, the inn is a bridge, a place of refuge, a shelter temporarily. The fire - the demonic fire or the destroing fire, highlights the property of the fire of burning and destroing. It's an evil of nature. Often Inferno or the world of the death are seen as spaces of this fire. The labyrinth - prehistoric labyrinths were used to close the evil spirits inside them.

The author practiced daylight fresh shock experimen over the darkness of passions and extreme facts. Narrative style adopted is hurried shorthand, but representative of the psychological processes taking place in the mind of the character.

  • Eminescu Şi Epoca Sa'' (Iunie 2000) Cronica Unei Expozitii. Vedere Din Interior
    ,,EMINESCU ŞI EPOCA SA'' (IUNIE 2000) CRONICA UNEI EXPOZITII. ' VEDERE DIN INTERIOR Liliana-Nicoleta Hanganu A treia în seria manifestărilor pe care Cabinetul Numismatic al Muzeului Municipiului Bucureşti le organizează anual, după „Portretul în medalistică" ( 1998) şi „Monumente şi edificii în medalistică" (1999), expoziţia „Eminescu şi epoca sa" s-a înscris în amplul program naţional dedicat Anului 2000 - Anul Eminescu. Aceasta a reprezentat o noutate prin colaborarea dintre două instituţii - Muzeul Municipiului Bucureşti şi Monetăria Statutului, care au prezentat colecţia col. (r) Ioan Dogaru, precum şi piese din colecţiile regretatului Nicolae Curdov şi Aurel N. Curdov. La acestea s-au adăugat medalii, plachete şi machete din patrimoniul celor două .instituţii organizatoare. De asemenea, expoziţia s-a deosebit de altele de acest gen prin criteriile de abordare a tematicii, susţinută de o varietate de piese medalistice şi de cartofilie. Pornind de la subiectul central - Eminescu - s-a încercat reconstituirea unei întregi epoci, cuprinsă între 1850 şi 1889, fie în ceea ce a avut ea ca evenimente istorice, politice şi militare majore: Unirea Principatelor Române, Războiul de Independenţă, Proclamarea Regatului, fie ca personalităţi marcante ale spiritualităţii româneşti, care, într-un fel sau altul, şi-au legat numele de cel al lui Eminescu: prieteni şi susţinători - Titu Maiorescu, Ion Luca Caragiale, Ion Creangă, Petre P. Carp, A. C. Cuza, dar şi ne-prieteni şi adversari politici, criticaţi în publicistică - C. A. Rosetti, Mihail Pherekyde, Eugeniu Carada. Organizată în spaţiul generos al elegantei Săli de comunicări a Muzeului Municipiului Bucureşti, expoziţia a cuprins 214 medalii şi plachete, dintre care 178 de medalii şi 14 machete cu tematica „Eminescu'', la care s-au adăugat o serie de litografii, cărţi poştale şi fotografii.

  • Litterära Gnistor. Ett Urval Av Rumänsk Litteratur Översatt Till Svenska
    2016-08-09 12:55 CEST Litterära gnistor. Ett urval av rumänsk litteratur översatt till svenska Rumänska kulturinstitutet Skeppsbron 20 24 augusti, kl 18.30 På rumänska och svenska Fri entré! Förhandsanmälan till [email protected] Medv: skådespelarna Marius Manole och Christian Fex Konferencier: Dan Shafran Varmt välkomna till höstsäsongens första program på Skeppsbron 20! Vi läser texter på både rumänska och svenska ur några av Rumäniens största författare, klassiska såväl som samtida. För att fira det rumänska språkets dag arrangerar Rumänska kulturinstitutet i samarbete med Rumänska Ambassaden i Sverige en afton tillägnad några av Rumäniens mest kända författare översatta till svenska. Vi läser utdrag ur deras verk, både på rumänska och svenska, med syftet att ge prov på den variationsrikedom som det senaste seklets rumänska litteratur uppvisar. Åldersmässigt spänner urvalet från klassikern Ion Luca Caragiale och den rumänska avantgardiska litteraturen till författare som är födda i början av 60-talet. Programmet binds samman av att alla dessa författare har sina rötter i Rumänien, har skrivit på rumänska och har översatts till svenska. Med tanke på att rumänskan trots allt betraktas som ett mindre kulturspråk har den rumänska litteraturen varit relativt flitigt översatt i Sverige under senare decennier. Det är vår förhoppning att kvällen ska ge ett litet smakprov på rikedomen hos och värdet av den rumänska litteraturen och samtidigt väcka ett intresse hos publiken att bekanta sig med ytterligare verk inom detta språkområde. Bland dem som uppmärksammas denna kväll finns prosaförfattarna Ion Luca Caragiale, Urmuz, Mihail Sebastian, Norman Manea, Mircea Cartarescu, Varujan Vosganian och Gabriela Adamesteanu samt poeterna Gellu Naum, Geo Bogza, Marin Sorescu, Nichita Stanescu, Nina Cassian och Ioan Es Pop.

  • Textual Transpositions and Identity Games in I.L. Caragiale's Late
    Textual Transpositions and Identity Games in I.L. Caragiale’s Late Writings ∗ Doris MIRONESCU Key-words: cultural identity , irony , ambivalence , Balkan literature , textual transposition The first critical edition of I.L. Caragiale’s Works , initiated by Paul Zarifopol in 1930 at “Cultura Na ţional ă” Publishing House, opens with the famous photo of the author taken in Berlin, in which Caragiale sits cross-legged, oriental-style, on a similarly themed rug, dressed in Balkanic garb, wearing a fez and white long socks, posing evidently for the camera with his chin resting on his closed hand and his eyes gazing intently to the right. But, even in these carefully asorted Levantine surroundings, one cannot fail to notice that behind the posing artist there is a heavily stacked library, filled with thick manuscripts that seem to overflow. The image is, therefore, twice symbolic: on the one hand, because in it Caragiale seems to claim to be returning to the “ethnic roots” that he often reclaimed polemically, orally and in writing, precisely to contradict the partisans of a ridiculous and violent Romanian nationalism; on the other hand, because this return takes place in the foreground of a library, or better yet of literature 1. Caragiale’s entire work is characterized by a frequent use of intertextual procedures, but these appear to become even more often in his last period of creation, in Berlin (1905–1912). The critics have long remarked that “Caragiale drew a character face for himself” (Tomu ş 1977: 340) but he exploited it especially now, in the later years at Berlin, to present himself under the largely known name “nenea Iancu” ( Ţal!..

  • Etymologicum Magnum Romaniae, an Unfulfilled Dream
    Etymologicum Magnum Romaniae , an Unfulfilled Dream Dr. Jenica Tabacu « B.P.Hasdeu » Memorial Museum Municipal Council of Câmpina e-mail: [email protected] Dr. Jenica Tabacu is director of “B.P.Hasdeu” Memorial Museum and expert recognized by the Minister of Culture and Cults in archaeological and historical- documentary heritage. She is preoccupated by the research of B.P.Hasdeu’s life and work. In her vision, the new technologies are supports for the knowledge. For this reason she implemented in the museum modern and attractive information systems: the infotouch solution and the audioguide. Abstract On the 4 th of April 1884, as Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu was the only academician expert in linguistics, he commited himself to the Romanian Academy to write the etymologic dictionary that was to be financially supported by King Carol I. He conceived a „Linguistic Questionnaire” that he sent out to all the counties Romanians inhabited and the answers that he received constituted precious information included in the first three volumes of the Dictionary. After the death of his daughter in 1888, Hasdeu was overwhelmed with grief and he slowed down his scientific work. He felt the call of other horizons and was concerned with other things. The Romanian Academy discharged him of the responsibility of the dictionary in 1897. The fourth volume never came out of print but its ample introduction was issued as a separate book. Keywords: Hasdeu, Etymology, Dictionary, Linguistics, Questionnaire, Academy, Spiritism. On the 4 th of April, 1884, Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu took the pledge to write a great dictionary, under the auspices of the Romanian Academy.

  • Intercultural Fantasies of Female Cruelty: Reflections on Gender and Power
    DOSAR SPECIAL: EGALITATE, LIBERTATE, FEMINITATE INTERCULTURAL FANTASIES OF FEMALE CRUELTY: REFLECTIONS ON GENDER AND POWER Marina CAP-BUN Ovidius University of Constanţa, Romania Prezentul articol reprezintă o analiză exhaustivă a aspectelor interculturale bazată pe imaginea femeii în literatură, şi anume unele reflecţii asupra puterii feminine. Autoarea confruntă un număr impunător de opere pentru a scoate în evidenţă trăsăturile puterii şi luptei lăuntrice a Femeii. By the beginning of the twentieth century Ion Luca Caragiale (1852-1912) was already a well-established artist, aware of the fact that he had reached his artistic ma- turity. His plays were translated in many languages and successfully played in France, Germany, Italy, Hungary, and Russia, and his tragedy Năpasta (The Scourge) was even plagiarized by the French dramatist André de Lorde, provoking a huge scandal in both Romanian and French literary magazines. Caragiale refused to sue his French plagia- rist who, in fact, was making him more famous in Paris, as he acknowledged that his play was already entering the gallery of inciting universal themes, and it was by now provoking responses.1 In Romania, the controversies around his theatre were some- how diminished (although they never ceased to exist up to the present day), his texts were regularly reedited, his plays often staged, and the young scholar Horia Petra-Pre- descu was already conducting serious research about his life and career while writing a monographic doctoral thesis on the subject, which was to be published in 1911.2 So, in spite of his active enemies, he was generally recognized as a classic of Romanian literature.

The Portrait of Joseph von Drauth (1709-1762), senator of the city of Braşov, painted by Johann Ölhan the Elder (?-1763), opens the exhibition. [ST] The painting is typical for Saxon patriciate portraiture, a provincial variant of portrait d`apparat. The artist insists on the details which indicate that the commissioner boasted a high social status (coat of arms, apparel, as well as on the objects which suggest the official duties he exercised. The City Hall and the buildings surrounding it, depicted in the background of the portrait, are also meant to illustrate his position. But the posture of the model is conventional and artificial. We find the same interest in underlining the social position of the model in the creation of an anonymous artist active in the late 1700s, who painted the Portrait of Oprea Ţârcă, the head of the shepherds’guild of Săcele.
