Le plus important historien latin qui s’est penché sur les relations tensionnées entre Rome et Carthage, Tite-Live offre une image édifiante des ennemis héréditaires de son peuple. Loin d’être neutre, Ab urbe condita, axée sur l’opposition fraus Punica / fides Romana, semble représenter une démonstration pathétique de l’idée que Rome a toujours lutté loyalement contre un adversaire perfide. Auteur ayant une évidente vision moralisatrice sur l’histoire, Tite-Live soutient inconditionnellement l’idée que la justice a été du côté de ses compatriotes, fait confirmé même par le résultat de la guerre. En présentant les antagonistes engagés dans une lutte mémorable à vie et à mort, l’historien se situe affectivement du côté des Romains. Cependant, il ne se contente…

The writer has a paradoxal position. Being included in general and exterior lines of Kemenov’s direction, and, consequently, of the Gazeta literara, the writer’s journalism is very different, in its depth, both from Steaua position and the antirevisionism of Crohmalniceanu. Like Calinescu, Petru Dumitriu chose the clasicism, considered „the supreme style of writing”.

POETICĂ ȘI ORNAMENTICĂ
Articles / December 15, 2007

👤Author Name: Laurențiu Hanganu 📄Article Citation Recommendation: HANGANU, Laurențiu. „Poetică și ornamentică”. In: RITL, New Series, XLIV, No. 1-4, January-December 2007, p. 251-261Titlul: POETICĂ ȘI ORNAMENTICĂTitle: POETICS AND ORNAMENTICSPages: 251-261Language: RomanianURL: https://ritl.ro/pdf/2007/17_L_Hanganu.pdf Abstract: The study discusses the relationship between poetry and ornamentation in the light of Baudelaire’s theory of correspondences. Starting from the title of Edgar Poe’s volume, The Tales of the Grotesque and the Arabesque, Baudelaire notices that the two art motifs are an illustration of the dual nature of modern poetry, which is simultaneously harmonious and dissonant. At the same time, the poetic phrase has the sinuous course of the arabesque line, proving that poetry is a palimpsest of all artistic expression. The kinship of poetry and ornamentation, which transcends Lessing’s opposition between arts of time and arts of space, is the archetype of Baudelaire’s correspondences, which restores at the phantasy level a lost plenitude — a completeness still present in the form of the medieval manuscript.

The vocabulary in these numerous letters is archaic but disposes of a peculiar fragrance. Encompassing a period of over fifty-seven years, this correspondence brings testimony about the western realities of those times, contrasted to the Moldavian ones. In this way, it can be taken as a document about the habits and ideals of the 1848 generation.

👤Author Name: Dumitru Micu 📄Article Citation Recommendation: MICU, Dumitru. „Proletcultismul (I)”. In: RITL, New Series, XLIV, No. 1-4, January-December 2007, p. 149-158Titlul: PROLETCULTISMUL (I)Title: THE PROLETCULTISM (I)Pages: 149-158Language: RomanianURL: https://ritl.ro/pdf/2007/12_D_Micu.pdf Abstract: Considering the implications of ”proletcultist” (the cult of proletarian values) literature, we can notice that proletcultism has in common with the vanguard currents the programmatic request of destroying libraries, museums and universities. That is everything related to academic tradition. But, nonetheless, there is a difference between the Romanian ”proletcultism” and the Soviet one. Communism in Russia was more aesthetic-infused, being accepted non-proletarian inspiration also.
