This paper aims to answer a question that may arise in the minds of many literary critics, and, why not, also of students or teachers: is criticism still relevant today in an age of advanced technology? Does anyone still have the patience and openness to go through it? The speed and volume of information can very easily undermine the rigor of critical, serious analysis, because the public can more easily get their information from social networks. When we want to buy or read other people’s opinions about a book, do we focus our attention on online reviewers, „booktubers” or „booktokers”, or do we read relevant reviews? If we observe carefully, we will see that on many covers of books released in bookstores appear small phrases from literary chronicles, published in…

The meanings of reading are synonymous here with deep reading, not hyperreading, and by digital texts we mean digital versions of a printed text, not digitally native books. The ideas developed by theorists such as Sven Birkerts, Andrew Piper, Thomas Mc Laughlin, Naomi S. Baron, etc. determine three main cores for defining digital reading: analysis of the digital medium’s features, recovery and emphasis on the physical dimension of the act of reading, and the changes produced in the comprehension of the text. A nostalgic tone is used along with a critical one, and the roles of reading and of the reader are outlined in relation to the broader background of understanding both the changes of knowledge models and the impact of…

Broadly, DH studies digital cultural objects in a computational way. There is no commonly accepted definition. The challenge in defining DH stems from the wide variety of disciplines involved, like cultural heritage, linguistics, literature, digital archaeology, history, arts, philosophy, etc. that all have their own methodology and tools. A common misunderstanding is that the DH is concerned only with the conversion of physical objects like manuscripts, maps, cultural artefacts, sounds, into a machine-readable format. But this is only the first step: ob­taining the object of study. The most challenging part is the computational processing of the digital objects by operations such as interrogation, editing, annotating, visualization, Data Mining, automatic classification, clustering, pattern recognition, information extraction, etc. Only a decade ago, all of these could have been performed exclusively by scholars with computer science background, but…

The examination of Lovinescu’s statement of intentions in the preface to the translation of the epic as well as his considerations regarding Murnu’s achievements in the memorial pages or in the History of contemporary Romanian literature allow a reconsideration of this severe verdict pronounced by Călinescu.

Călinescu repeatedly mani­fested with the model of ethical-philosophical dialogue practiced by Dimitrie Cantemir, one of his favorite authors in old Romanian literature, in The Divan or the Dispute of the Wise Men with the World or the Judgment of the Soul with the Body (Iași 1698). Among his press articles that explicitly claim to follow this model, we focus on a few texts from the period 1943–1945, included in the anthology Gâlceava înțeleptului cu lumea, made by Geo Şerban (Minerva Publishing House, 1974) and on a text, unknown at the time, which we published in 1979 in the magazine „Manuscriptum” (included now in Opere. Publicistică, vol. XII, 2012). The idea that emerges from our analysis is that G. Călinescu is best found, as a personality, in the portrait of a Renaissance humanist with a…

Mit mongol/ Shun or the Undisturbed Path.A Mongolian Myth, the formula of the literary parable points out not only the mechanisms of reloading the specific semantic structures of parable itself – starting from the author’s own reflections on the impact of an enlightened or philosopher prince on people’s destiny –, it also generates a unique mirror effect on the other writings of the literary critic. Our approach proposes a critical evaluation of these aspects so as to define a viable innovative re-reading perspective on a text placed in the shadow of some more critically valued writings created by G. Călinescu. Keywords: parable, network of symbols, literary pattern, myth.  Bibliography Călinescu, G., Opere, 9, Editura Minerva, 1971. Dicționarul General al Literaturii Române, C/D, Editura…

Cantemir, a doua mare personalitate a literaturii române este fără îndoială E. Eliade Rădulescu, scriitor cu suflet ardent, creator pretutindeni, desfă­șurat deopotrivă în viață și în artă, înzestrat cu mari însușiri și cu tot atât de mari cusururi. Ieșea din acea obscură pătură de târgoveți care avea să răzbată printre marile familii boierești și să întemeieze România modernă. (…) De n-ar fi trebuit să înceapă totul și să-și cheltuiască energia în lupta pentru formația limbii din învălmășeala căreia nu putea vedea limpede adevărata poezie, Eliade ar fi putut deveni un foarte mare poet.

After establishing the temporal frame to which these references allude, a short description of the vernal festivals offers a glimpse of the positive and negative associations of the season that will pervade the references to spring made by the ancient writers. The material investigated reveals that spring was seen as a period of renewal and rebirth, but also as a time fraught with anxiety and worry. Spring is a liminal period of the year, a time of hope and purification, of beauty, fertility and joyous celebration, but also a time of ambiguity and danger. Spring is unpredictable and characterised by an…
