👤Author Name: Lucian Chișu 📄Article Citation Recommendation: CHIȘU, Lucian „Rotonda Mihail Sebastian (MLR, 1975) 30 de ani de la moarte”.

The resulting image is undoubtedly truthful and it renders in its entirety the evolving ”scale of values“ of Romanian literature, including the literature of the last half a century, a period supposed to have been affected by the distortions operated by the political climate. The maintenance of the necessary balance is an undeniable fact, despite some interventions” of the last two decades, which aimed to be the seismograph of the intrusions of social command; in other words, of the communist propaganda in matters of literary art and its main themes. The only element remaining under question refers to a certain attitude, to the ”official character of the enterprise of those who approached literary history, which disregarded the immanence of the ideological factor (”the Party is everything“), implying,…

👤Author Name: Paul Dugneanu 📄Article Citation Recommendation: DUGNEANU, Paul. „Mihail Sebastian și poetica romanului proustian”. In: RITL, New Series, XLIV, No. 1-4, January-December 2007, p. 71-76Titlul: MIHAIL SEBASTIAN ȘI POETICA ROMANULUI PROUSTIANTitle: MIHAIL SEBASTIAN AND THE POETICS OF THE PROUSTIAN NOVELPages: 71-76Language: RomanianURL: https://ritl.ro/pdf/2007/6_P_Dugneanu.pdf Abstract: Playwright and modernist novelist, Mihail Sebastian was also an outstanding literary critic, proving, in the same time, remarkable theoretical skills. Concerned with the analysis of the literary phenomena from that period, he even set on putting together an extensive study in two volumes, having as subject the modernist novel. Despite the fact that he did not accomplish his project, a large part of his critical opinions and of his theoretical reflections-mostly involving the narrative constructions from ”In search of lost time“ —, can constitute an important Romanian contribution to a poetics of the proustian novel.

CONFLICTUL GENERAȚIILOR ÎN ROMÂNIA INTERBELICĂ. MIRCEA ELIADE ȘI TATĂL SĂU

👤Author Name: Liviu Bordaș 📄Article Citation Recommendation: BORDAȘ, Liviu. „Conflictul generațiilor în România interbelică, Mircea Eliade și tatăl său”. In: RITL, New Series, XLIV, No. 1-4, January-December 2007, p. 37-64Titlul: CONFLICTUL GENERAȚIILOR ÎN ROMÂNIA INTERBELICĂ. MIRCEA ELIADE ȘI TATĂL SĂUTitle: THE GENERATION GAP IN INTERWAR ROMANIA. MIIRCEA ELIADE AND HIS FATHERPages: 37-64Language: RomanianURL: https://ritl.ro/pdf/2007/4_L_Bordas.pdf Abstract: The article investigates for the first time Mircea Eliade’s relationship with his father, in the light of both published texts and unpublished manuscripts. The portrait of the father in Ehade’s Memoirs is contrasted with the profile emerging from the personal files of Captain Gheorghe Eliade, preserved in the Military Archives. The father-son relationship is set up against the larger relationship (and conflict) between the ”War generation“ and the ”young generation“, to  which they belonged. The father’s admiration for Ion Heliade Radulescu and Mircea Eliade’s theorising of the ”conflict of generations“ bring into discussion the earlier generations: the 1848 generation and the 1880 Junimea generation. Since the name Eliade had been a choice of the father, the study dwells extensively on its significance and on the way in which the son relates to it. The theoretical part of the study considers the different types of humanism…

👤Author Name: Andrei Milca 📄Article Citation Recommendation: MILCA, Andrei. „Spirit și destin sub «teroarea istoriei»”. In: RITL, New Series, XLIV, No. 1-4, January-December 2007, p. 31-35Titlul: SPIRIT ŞI DESTIN SUB „TEROAREA ISTORIEI“Title: SPIRIT AND DESTINY UNDER ”THE TERROR OF HISTORY”Pages: 31-35Language: RomanianURL: https://ritl.ro/pdf/2007/3_A_Milca.pdf Abstract: The brilliant scholar and the most important encyclopedic Romanian spirit of 20-th century, Mircea Eliade is disputed, even in 2007, the year of his centenary. The controversies are the same in the present with those of the past, which stopped Eliade for obtaining the Nobel Prize: for ,,sympathy“ of the young writer, in ’30’s years, for „the Devil“ — the Iron Guard of Corneliu Zelea Codreanu and Nae Ionescu, the teacher and the mentor of Eliade. A prey of a tumultuous period from the Romanian history Mircea Eliade was unjustly accused for 50 years by Nazism and Fascism, although his „contribution“ in promoting Iron Guard’s ideas was never proved and the arguments of his enemies weren’t so reasonable, in fact. The mystery of this ,,collaborationism* can be explained nowadays — and we’ll understand that the scientist and the pioneer of Myths and Religious Ideas History is one of the most ,,collateral victim of his age. Eliade…
