  • A Writer's Calendar
    A WRITER’S CALENDAR Compiled by J. L. Herrera for my mother and with special thanks to Rose Brown, Peter Jones, Eve Masterman, Yvonne Stadler, Marie-France Sagot, Jo Cauffman, Tom Errey and Gianni Ferrara INTRODUCTION I began the original calendar simply as a present for my mother, thinking it would be an easy matter to fill up 365 spaces. Instead it turned into an ongoing habit. Every time I did some tidying up out would flutter more grubby little notes to myself, written on the backs of envelopes, bank withdrawal forms, anything, and containing yet more names and dates. It seemed, then, a small step from filling in blank squares to letting myself run wild with the myriad little interesting snippets picked up in my hunting and adding the occasional opinion or memory. The beginning and the end were obvious enough. The trouble was the middle; the book was like a concertina — infinitely expandable. And I found, so much fun had the exercise become, that I was reluctant to say to myself, no more. Understandably, I’ve been dependent on other people’s memories and record- keeping and have learnt that even the weightiest of tomes do not always agree on such basic ‘facts’ as people’s birthdays. So my apologies for the discrepancies which may have crept in. In the meantime — Many Happy Returns! Jennie Herrera 1995 2 A Writer’s Calendar January 1st: Ouida J. D. Salinger Maria Edgeworth E. M.

  • Andrei Codrescu's Tropical Rediscovery of Romanian Culture in the Hole in the Flag
    University of Bucharest Review Vol. X, no. 2, 2008 Bogdan Ştefănescu University of Bucharest VOICES OF THE VOID: ANDREI CODRESCU’S TROPICAL REDISCOVERY OF ROMANIAN CULTURE IN THE HOLE IN THE FLAG Keywords: Andrei Codrescu, Romanianness, national/cultural identity, nationalism, history, discourse, tropes/tropology, void, absence, atemporal, exile, ideology, Lucian Blaga, Emil Cioran, Mircea Eliade, Constantin Noica. Abstract: An exile since 1966, Andrei Codrescu has constructed his pen-self mostly in the United States. One of the main ingredients he used in concocting his literary persona was his foreignness. Having started as a Western Transylvanian young artist in communist Romania, where the political and literary standards were dictated by the country’s South Eastern capital of Bucharest--and also as a Jew in a covertly anti-Semitic nation-state--Codrescu eventually had to settle for the status of an immigrant Central East European writer in America. His allogenous identity, like his NPR accent, has been one indelible stamp of his style. And a test. One he may have hoped to resolve as he completed his long imagined return to his country of origin after the fall of communism. The paper discusses the return of the native to post-1989 Romania and the negotiation of his reinsertion in Romanian culture in terms of an unsettled genealogy. Starting from the structural image of a signifying absence, I argue that. the symbolism of the void is pivotal not just for Codrescu’s self- representations in The Hole in the Flag and elsewhere in his texts on Romania, but also for at least two of the more spectacular lines of canonical discourse on the communal self in Romanian culture: the Anarchist-Metaphorical and the Radical-Antithetical.

  • Andrei Codrescu: the Multi-Identity Man
    Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Bra şov Series IV: Philology and Cultural Studies • Vol. 4 (53) No.1 - 2011 ANDREI CODRESCU: THE MULTI-IDENTITY MAN Mihai ION 1 Abstract: The main goal of the present study is to sketch the multi-faceted personality of the Romanian-American writer Andrei Codrescu. Significant aspects derived from both his biographical background and interviews to various literary magazines will help in determining the author’s profile: a person released from the obsession of a unique cultural and linguistic identity and fully integrated into the new context of a global culture. Keywords: exile, cultural and linguistic identity, heteronyms, lyric masks. 1.

  • The Regenerative Void: Avatars of a Foundational Metaphor in Romanian Identity Construction
    The Regenerative Void: Avatars of a Foundational Metaphor in Romanian Identity Construction Bogdan ŞTEFĂNESCU ∗ Key-words: Romanian cultural identity, nationalist rhetoric, tropes, metaphor, resistance, void, dissenting discourse There is an ultimate “paradox of Romania” (such a frequent phrase) which has to do with how the Romanians have constructed their personality by refusing to construct their personality. The palpitating core of this paradox is probably one of the most recurrent and meaningful tropes used by Romanians in speaking about themselves, that of the void . In the fateful December of 1989, Romania became identified with a new image, its revolutionary emblem was the old tricolor flag with a hole at its center. The gap was the result of the exuberant removal of what used to be the communist coat of arms. A photograph in “Le Nouvel Observateur” showed in its empty stead the faces of two young boys, their hands fingering a V sign: a symbol of rejuvenation, the rebirth of Romania. ∗ University of Bucharest, Romania. This work, based on research originally conducted at Penn State University under a Fulbright scholarship, was supported by the strategic grant POSDRU/89/1.5/S/62259, Project “Applied social, human and political sciences.

The avant-garde (or radical modernism , as opposed to moderate modernism and traditionalism) is usually a term employed to describe the multitude of radical literary and artistic tendencies, small movements, trends, waves, literary groups and magazines that were active (in this case in Romania) in the historical period between WWI and 1947 (until socialist realism was imposed). Neo-avantgarde was sometimes used to describe the Surrealist and Albatros groups of the 1940's, but most often describes the various experimentalist waves from contemporary Romanian literature, beginning with aesthetic oneirism. Initially considered just an absurd, degenerate fashion imported from France, the avant-garde was half-accepted by a few modernist critics such as G.

    Nr. 1 / martie 2021 1 www. ⧫ IRINA PETRA{ Spune-mi cum vorbe}ti... pune-mi cum vorbești, ca să-ți spun cine ești! O zicală veche, uitată azi când însoțirea dintre gând și cuvânt nu mai pare să fie obligatorie. Dar ești cine ești mai întâi prin S gândul tău cumpănit care scrutează lumea, încearcă s-o ia în stăpânire, să se împace cu ea, și abia în urmă prin cuvântul potrivit pe care ești în stare să-l rostești (nelăsând gura să vorbească fără tine), astfel încât rostirea ta să aibă un rost. Să spună ceva mai bun decât tăcerea. Înclin să fiu de acord cu Noam Chomsky: „limbajul a fost «conceput» pentru a gândi, și abia apoi pentru a comunica”. O spunea deja Aristotel, „Vorbirea este reprezentarea experiențelor minții”. Ca lucrurile să se întâmple cum se cuvine în relația noastră cu lumea, cu ceilalți, ar trebui să folosim mai multe cuvinte în actul/procesul gândirii decât în cel al comunicării. Azi, însă, în deșănțata eră a comunicării frenetice doar de dragul comunicării (liber fiind fiecare ins să-și arate public nimicnicia, vorba lui Umberto Eco), sub puhoiul de mijloace de socializare rapidă prin like-uri negândite și, adesea, prin simple icnete grafice, legătura dintre gând și cuvânt slăbește, se frânge. Omul deprinde „limbajele” mașinii și uită să se vorbească pe sine vorbind cu vorbe. Exigențe scăzute funcționează și la nivelul școlii, și la cel al societății. În graba fără cap a lumii contemporane, totul se petrece mimetic, superficial, tolerând orice abatere de la legile limbii și, deci, ale bunei gândiri.
