Aspecte ale vieții și evenimente din istoria Greciei acelor vremuri apar și în unele texte scrise în aria culturală a creștinismului ortodox aflată sub influența fanariotă. Acest articol își propune o analiză a caracteristicilor limbii, literaturii și culturii fanariote din Grecia secolului al XVIII-lea. În acest sens, sunt discutate următoarele texte: două comedii satirice, Alexandrovodas / Prințul fără scrupule, scrisă de G.N. Soutsos în preajma anului 1785 – o satiră la adresa lui Alexandru Mavrocordat, domnul Moldovei –, și Saganaki / Furtuna nebuniei, scrisă de un anonim în preajma anului 1790, avându-l în centru pe domnitorul Țării Românești Nicolae Mavrogheni (între anii 1786 şi 1789); câteva traduceri (din italiană și din germană) ale unor piese de teatru…

As little information was available about the origins of the text, we found that it was actually a British novel, Ammorvin and Zallida, written by a low-level writer, Mary Charlton, in 1798. Translated the same year into French, the novel was quite appreciated in its French version which circulated throughout Europe, being finally transposed into Romanian. We have therefore studied the Romanian text in comparison with the French it translated and commented upon the merits and the shortcomings of the translation, underlining the good knowledge of French of the…

On a envisagé seulement les manuscrits de Moldavie et de Valachie, en laissant de côté les livres copiés en Transylvanie ou pour un commanditaire de Transylvanie, ainsi que les manuscrits d’origine incertaine, avec une datation incertaine ou dépourvus d’éléments précis d’identification topique ou chronologique. Selon leur contenu, les manuscrits ont été classés comme suit: registres, inventaires, listes; obituaires; manuels; livres de cuisine; recueils d’ordonnances médicales; ouvrages de grammaire et dictionnaires; textes juridiques; livres de théologie et de littérature religieuse; écrits eschatologiques; calendriers; œuvres de philosophie; livres de géographie et de voyages; ouvrages historiques; «livres populaires», légendes et traductions; miscellanées ecclésiastiques; miscellanées laïques.

As a result of the modification of acculturation, the importance of lay translations from Western writings increased considerably. The paper draws attention upon the differences between the religious translations, in which faithfulness to the original generated little intervention into the sacred text (mainly of a linguistic character, of the explanatory interpolation type), and the interventions of lay text translators upon the originals, especially in the scientific areas, interventions called by the author (con)textual interpolations. The author proposes a possible taxonomy of these interpolations and tries to account for their motivations: the correction of some mistakes, the…

We have two points of view of grotesque here: the first one is a theoretical significance and the second one is an inside presence in narrative scenes. Deconstruction of logical methods, as well as syllogism, is pointing to the grotesque non-values: risible, clownish, horrible.

There are a few lines of thought which, according to Martin Esslin, anticipate absurdist theatre. First, pure theatre, which replaces spoken word with décor and movement, comes to life through the Latin mime, the British music hall or the American vaudeville, however Nicolae Balotă questions this denial of the word. Second, verbal nonsense, with deep roots in children’s folklore, is used to liberate one from the constraints of logic. Third, the dichotomy between dream and absurd is a constant theme and a generator of structure. Ubu-Roi, essential for modern theatre, representatively challenges reality and society as a whole, and anticipates the Dada movement or Surrealism. Later, Guillaume Apollinaire would use miracles and imagination without following any limit, while Antonin Artaud’s metaphysical theatre rediscovers the individual in relation to nature without any social or psychological elements. At the same time, it is…

La prose de Mircea Eliade illustre le meilleur moyen de sortir d’un veritable espace pour apprendre à connaître l’iréel, existant seulement dans l’imagination de Mircea Eliade. Cette transfiguration est atteinte par divers moyens de transposition, qui entrave les métaphores hermétiques. Le monde de Mircea Eliade est en fait une projection imaginaire, un rêve dans un rêve, le rêve des personnages devient même la réalité de l’œuvre. Lorsque nous parlons de la prose mythique, nous ne pouvons pas oublier cet effort de Sisyphe des caractères néophytes, noninitiés, de révéler le centre absolu du labyrinthe. Pour cette raison, l’utopie de Mircea Eliade est naturel, le centre ne peut être trouvé, il partie de notre unité humaine, mais la conscience scission dans un rêve,…

Caught up in many other projects, whether scientific, cultural, or political, the author finished and published only the first and the second volumes of the series, while the third one is only partially known, from the fragments published posthumously, as well as from the author’s notes in Jurnalul portughez (“The Portuguese Diary”) or in Memorii (“Memoirs”). This article advocates for reading the three novels as instantiations of the ideological / political fiction (or roman à thèse), as conceptualized in the American and European theories of the last decades. We will meet a literature questionable from the ideological viewpoint, but surely in pace with the new narrative moulds developed worldwide, in the 1930s–1940s. Though rarely recognized as…

The attitude the character has towards love is in fact a reaction to the disease he is consumed by. Certainly, the ailment involuntarily dominates all the character’s feelings and he cannot think or feel outside the limits imposed by the disease. The sanatorium functions as a drug that insinuates itself slowly and permanently onto the characters. Once you enter this space there is something that prevents you from leaving it. The behaviour becomes automated, the reactions are predictable, the coordinates according to which life unfolds are Eros – Thanatos. The ailment is the common point for everyone. Each character lives a love story, each being destined to die in a…
