  • 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.

Vasile Milea nr. 1G, Bucharest, Romania 2Grigore T. Popa University of Iasi, Iasi, Romania *E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT The study explores the incidence of Don Quixote-archetypal behavior upon the characters of the novels written by the great Romanian inter-war writer Camil Petrescu. The research is conceptually driven type. Recognizable elements of a concept are searched and identified in the fictional pulp and a volatile field is conceptually electrified. The starting premise is that all myths and traditional stories of the world literature embrace widespread and perpetual topics; they break through in all major artistic works. Basically, some of the defining characteristics of Don Quixote are identified in the conduct of Camil Petrescu’s epic heroes: the ideal led to the end; illusory quest for truth, beauty and goodness; self- query; courage despite the unavoidable risk; delight in being defeated, etc. These similarities are supported by examples and arguments. Keywords: archetype; myth; Don Quixote; literature; novel 1. INTRODUCTION If, in the context of a mythical field of the Romanian ballad (Meşterul Manole), the concept of mitem (the minimal unit of form and content in a myth) has demonstrated its reliability, it is difficult, but challenging to admit and to prove the same efficiency in the structure other fields.

  • 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’.

  • PRECURSOR AL AVANGARDEI Urmuz – a Forerunner of the Avantgarde
    URMUZ Ŕ PRECURSOR AL AVANGARDEI Urmuz – A Forerunner of the Avantgarde Drd. Ioana-Mihaela VULTUR Universitatea „Petru Maior” din Târgu-Mureş Abstract: Conscious of the critical situation of the Romanian literature and its stagnation, Urmuz comes up with a strange way of perceiving the world around him and its manifestations. He chooses irony in order to fight the realist literature of his time and not only. By using this method, he brings forward the anti-literature. The Dada and the Surrealist movements identify Urmuz as their forerunner, due to his new technique of conceiving literature: weird hybrid characters, intertextuality (revived in postmodernism) unexpected juxtapositions and his new anti-social attitude. Keywords: Urmuz, forerunner, irony, realist literature, anti-literature, anti-social attitude Venind într-o perioadă în care scena literară românească era acaparată de tiparele modelului eminescian, la care se adaugă confruntările tradiţionalist-moderniste, grefierul de la Înalta Curte de Casaţie propune un tip de literatură care, bucurându-se de importante influenţe asupra scrierilor avangardiste ulterioare, va schimba discursul poetic. Într-o epocă în care realismul se bucura de cel mai mare prestigiu, Urmuz şi-a întors privirea şi a descoperit o nouă faţă a lumii, pe care a transpus-o în paginile sale bizare, împărtăşind visul lui Flaubert de a scrie o carte despre nimic, dând astfel startul rescrierii literaturii existente, el rămânând o figură aproape legendară în literatura română dintre cele două războaie mondiale.1 Acest început de rescriere a literaturii nu a întârziat să atragă după sine reacţii dintre cele mai diverse: simplă bufonerie, dar cu spirit şi compuneri ce nu pot depăşi limitele unor farse2, ori joc voluntar şi amuzant al unui temperament prin excelenţă satiric, cuceritor prin chiar excesul lor de absurditate3, în timp ce Geo Bogza e de părere că umorul autorului este doar o mască, iar Pompiliu Constantinescu insistă asupra celor două niveluri de lectură a Paginilor bizare.

Ș| i ALBA MJA i Nr înv -^0^- Alba lulia 2019 PREFAȚĂ Autorii acestei cărți, Ironim Muntean și ion Todor mi-au fost colegi de facultate la Filologia clujeană, între anii 1960-1965 ai veacului încheiat. A fost o promoție numeroasă, din care dacă nu au ieșit personalități proeminente ale scrisului românesc contemporan, s-au afirmat destui ca remarcabili profesori secundari. Ironim Muntean și Ion Todor veneau din Alba lulia, capitala Marii Uniri, vechiul Bălgrad al începuturilor de scris românesc, absolvenți ai Liceului „Horia, Cloșca și Crișan”, care până după al doilea război mondial, purta numele gloriosului unificator de țară Mihai Viteazul. După absolvirea facultății nu s-au limitat ca mulți dascăli de literatura română, numai la activitatea catedratică, înțelegând scrisul didactic sau literar ca o completare firească a muncii la clasă. După ani și ani au ajuns profesori chiar în orașul în care absolviseră liceul, unul dintre ei, Ironim Muntean chiar la liceul „Horia, Cloșca și Crișan”, al cărui eminent absolvent fusese în urmă cu o jumătate de secol. Ambii au înțeles că este o datorie profesională, dar și de conștiință morală și patriotică studierea și punerea în lumină, sub riguros raport documentar, a tradițiilor istorice și liceale, pe care colegii le pot integra în lecțiile de istorie sau de literatură.

Fall 2020] ABSTRACT: Veronica Porumbacu (1921-1977) was a Romanian poet and translator who has been unjustly forgotten today due to her proletcultist poems of the 1950s. Yet her work was widely published and well-known during the socialist re- gime, and is especially relevant for the two decades of growth and ideological innovation of the 1960s and 1970s. In my article I analyze a remarkable vol- ume of hers published in 1966, situating it in the context of her work and in the wider frame of the political context of Romania. I argue that Return from Cythera can be considered a conceptual manifesto of socialist feminism, rely- ing on reflexive eroticism, embodied thought, and historical consciousness to challenge the surrounding patriarchal order and to claim the necessity of developing a different cultural genealogy, centered on the standpoint and ex- periences of women. © Wagadu (2020) ISSN : 1545-6196 2 | Ovidiu Ţichindeleanu Postcommunist România has tried hard to abandon its own recent past, although as visual artist Ciprian Mureşan has reminded us, strictly speaking “Communism never happened.”1 In the past three decades of “post-socialist” or “post-communist” West-oriented transition, a specific type of forgetting has been perfected in aca- demia, the public sphere, as well as the larger culture industry.
