THE BYZANTINE, WESTERN AND NATIONAL MODELPages: 7-62Language: RomanianURL: https://ritl.ro/pdf/2018/1-4/1_E_Simion.pdf Abstract: This study is dedicated to the mediaeval writings, especially to the parenetic literature, a rather nonliterary genre offering, in close determination with the age and in a sententious manner, moral teachings, advice regarding human dignity and humility/religious austerity. The conceptual term of Middle Ages (id est an age of darkness, mysticism, scholastics, spiritual asceticism) is revised; it is shown, according to historian Le Goff, that the respective age was one of cathedrals, therefore of real creation in which, besides the representative types (the saint and the knight), a third emblematic character came into being: the solitary thinker, the meditative spirit who, looking for a model of existence, brings back the ideas, virtues and myths of Antiquity and, at the same time, thinks of himself in relation with the Divinity. Another question which the study proposes for…

Lovinescu. Anticipant son grand projet historiographique Istoria literaturii române contemporane/ Histoire de la littérature roumaine contemporaine (1926–1929) et notamment son troisième tome – Evoluția poeziei lirice/ Lʼévolution de la poésie lyrique (1927), lʼétude Poezia nouă doit être perçu tout dʼabord en tant quʼantichambre théorique et critique du „modernisme” littéraire roumain, espace préliminaire où Lovinescu forge ses outils pour mettre en évidence la différence spécifique de ce concept. Vu ici comme „faux-symbolisme” – modèle lyrique qui, succédant au symbolisme, sʼoppose en fait à ce courant – le „modernisme” roumain dévoile ses racines dans la poésie de Baudelaire (surtout en ce qui concerne la poésie du poète roumain Tudor Arghezi), mais aussi dans le „baudelaire-anism” local, compris comme assimilation plus ou moins innovatrice…

CASE STUDY: JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU, ÉMILEPages: 411-425Language: RomanianURL: https://ritl.ro/pdf/2018/1-4/28_C_Deutsch.pdf Abstract: The present paper attempts, using Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s novel, Émile, as a case study, to define a series of auctorial techniques of encrypting the child symbol. This aims to examine how the idea of childhood, seen in a positive light, tries to find a place in literature, the child becoming a character with its own features, an imaginary hero upon whom various techniques can be applied to demonstrate even a philosophical – pedagogical theory such as that of Rousseau. Seen, in fact, as a conventional symbol in fiction, the child will be viewed in this case more as an incarnation of the natural child, changing, in this way, the previous perceptions of childhood, both at a scientific level and at a literary one. For Rousseau, the child is the…

In: RITL, New Series, XII, No. 1-4, January-December 2018, p. 399-410.Titlul: HORAŢIU ŞI AUGUSTUSTitle: HORACE AND AUGUSTUSPages: 399-410Language: RomanianURL: https://ritl.ro/pdf/2018/1-4/27_A_Ciocarlie.pdf Abstract: The relationship between Horace and Augustus changes over time. Originally, while being on the republican side, the poet participates in the battle from Philippi, in which he was enrolled as tribune, and was fighting under command of Brutus. In his first satires and epodes, characterised by a realistic expressiveness, he manifests a reserved attitude towards Octavian, whom he indirectly mentions in passing. In course of time, Horace adheres to some of Augustus’ initiatives whom he appreciates especially as peace-maker striving to heal the wounds of the civil wars. In the second part of his life, the poet writes several official or ordered works, all having a propagandistic nature, such as Carmen saeculare, sacred hymn, dedicated to Rome’s protective deities, Diana and Apollo, or the odes in which he honoured the victories against the Germanic tribes registered by the stepsons of Augustus, Tiberius and Drusus.

This essay follows the evolution of Vladimir Colin between the two waypoints and reviews some of Colin’s key texts – from his early ideological and theoretical essays to the short stories and novels that can be seen, in spite of the numerous flaws that are related to the ideological nature of the texts, but also to their uneven aesthetical value, as refference points for the Romanian Fantastic and Fantasy literature.

But in the same period she wrote and published also other forms of war literature, with a strong propaganda effect, in Romania and abroad, namely My country, which appeared in London, New York and Toronto in 1916, also in a French edition, in Paris. In 1917 she published also a volume during the exile in Iasi where she is rewriting partly her diary and her style is strongly infused with personal issues and emotions. This volume contains a few texts published in the front journal România, so with a broad and special audience: soldiers in the trenches and in the hospitals.
