This existential condition appears in a number of essential hypostases in his poetic universe: the concentrationary exile, the political exile, the geographical exile, the moral exile, the linguistic exile, the aesthetic exile, and the last exile, the Non-being. In such a context, we can talk about the exile poetry and the poetry exile in Caraion’s work, in a world as a vast prison, in an absurd universe, subject to death, in which man lives the condition of an exiled and of a victim, in which even words agonise. Ion Caraion is the exiled poet of Romanian literature. A form of exile is the concentrationary exile, in an era of terror, during the installation of…

A travers la mémoire, l’écrivain exilé a voulu garder intactes les valeurs qu’il s’était appropriées dans son pays natal. Pour lui, son village, Fântâna, représente locus amoenus – lieu des délices – et signe culturel primaire et distinctif. Qu’il ait écrit des mémoires ou des fictions, Gheorghiu a raconté son histoire où s’est reflété l’Histoire, plus ou moins romancé, de son siècle, se révélant, à notre avis, un des plus importants représentants du genre autobiographique dans les lettres roumaines….

LOVINESCU “PAR LUI MÊME”Pages: 97–112Language: RomanianURL: https://ritl.ro/pdf/2012/8_A_Patras.pdf Abstract: E. Lovinescu received his due acknowledgment as the main representative of the Romanian inter-bellum culture. His aesthetic criticism pleaded for the necessary modernization of our literature, by means of imitating salient Western models. Although his image in posterity represents a conglomerate of mere clichés, the critic proves to be, under close-scrutiny, a complex theorist (even though, quite often, a rather contradictory one). He aimed to assess literature from a psycho[1]sociological point of view and to articulate a consistent theory on personality, with a particular focus on those processes that recur during our inner development. The branded ‘theory of forms without content’ served Lovinescu as a marvelous hypothesis to assess the emergence of Romanian modern civilization. Therefore, the critic’s coherent program hinted at the modernization of Romanian literature, centered upon theories such as ‘the primate of aesthetical value’ and the urge for ‘synchronization’. In any case,…

It offers definitional issues and background, it clarifies the concepts associated with Existentialism, and it goes into the history of this literary movement with reference to its representatives worldwide and in Romanian culture and literature. Romanian Existentialism is rigorously described from its very beginnings with the Criterion group in the 20s: there are few Existentialisms identified in the Romanian culture and a special attention is given to the main tendencies and to the characteristics of the literary works associated with Existentialism in the 30s and 40s (when we had the so-called “war generation”). After the Second World War, when Existentialism became a well-known and significant philosophical and cultural movement in the world, we may also talk about Existentialism as present in the creation of few Romanian writers reviewed in this article.

Then it focuses on the specificities of the Romanian exile after the World War II: the long duration of it, the loss of hope for returning to the natal country, the multiple reasons for (self)-exile, grouping around polarity centers such as radios, magazines, literary circles, etc., the small number of dissidents and the fact that the Romanian exile did not promoted Romanian literature for the foreign countries, but limited itself to address exclusively to Romanians for a political purpose. A detailed analysis is dedicated to the cultural pillars with real impact on the Romanian exile (cultural societies and literary circles, literary and cultural newspapers published, Free Europe Radio Post, dissidents). Important institutions of exile are also described: Romanian Center for Researches in Paris, “Carol I” Royal University Foundation in Paris, Romanian Library in Freiburg, Romanian Academic Society in Roma, Romanian-Spanish Foundation in Madrid, The American Romanian Academy…

The focus of the article remains on the 19th century literature that illustrates this genre in France and in Romania (as Romanian literature imported the popular fiction from France). The article clarifies terminological clues and underlines the fact that this genre should not be mistaken with the feuilleton novel, as feuilleton was just belonging to the marketing means of the time. Representatives of fiction genres in Romanian literature are listed and impact of the phenomenon to the mainstream literature is discussed. The conventional structure of the genre is also mentioned in order to uncover the mechanisms of attracting the readers and making this category of literature so successful.
