Abstract This paper looks at the relationship between post and decolonialism, two critical movements rooted in political theory and literary studies alike. It considers their similarities and their common ethical stance, while also investigating the reasons for the very necessity of decolonialism as a discipline. The main purpose of the subsequent metacritic analysis (which compares Edward Said’s line of inquiry with recent works by Revathi Krishnaswamy, Walter Mignolo and Sylvia Marcos) is to highlight the methodological evolution that took place especially in the field of literary criticism. Finally, the essay takes into consideration the problematic connections that are being established between European schools of thought and their indigenous counterparts, trying to find ways in which comparatism will not lead to theoretical uniformization, but rather to a set of strategies for reading peripheral literatures and for including them in academic debates on theory.

Abstract The goal of the following paper is to shed more light unto the similarities and the particularities that the works of Lucian Blaga and B. Fundoianu reveal in relation to Expressionism, a current often mentioned in order to catherogirse the two poets. Even though one cannot put the finger on a legitimate Expressionist poetic movement in Romanian culture without a certain ammount of exaggeration, the poetry of the aforementioned figures is undeniably compatible with the current originated from Germany. As I will try to prove, Lucian Blaga and B. Fundoianu can be seen as antagonistic instances in this context, but ultimately revealing a shared expressionist substance upon which the most divergent attitudes are bestowed.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to identify the way in which Blaga’s feminine characters deconstruct the canon of feminity imposed at the time. This deconstruction is based on the theory of performative gender imposed by Judith Butler, who emphasized the fact that gender is not innate, but rather constructed. In the second part of the essay, in the form of an ecocritical approach, we proved the idea that there is a tight connection between women and nature on the one hand and natural disasters and patriarchy on the other hand.

Abstract In this paper, I will examine the novel Sara, published by Stefan Agopian in 1987. The novel is a rewriting of the Book of Tobit, from the Old Testament, and is preceded by another novel written by the prose writer on the same biblical theme, entitled Tobit. I will approach the work from the perspective the overvaluation that certain notions suffer, in the transition from the Bible to its narrative Agopian. Transvalorization is a literary phenomenon discussed by G. Genette in his study, Palimpsestes (1982), but my method is not entirely faithful to the narrator.
本文将考察斯蒂芬·阿戈比安于1987年出版的小说《萨拉》。这部小说改编自《旧约》中的《托比特书》(Book of Tobit),在此之前,这位散文作家还写了另一部同名的小说《托比特》(Tobit)。我将从某些观念被高估的角度来看待这部作品,在从《圣经》到《阿古比阿斯》叙事的过渡中。跨价值化是G. Genette在他的研究《Palimpsestes》(1982)中讨论的一种文学现象,但我的方法并不完全忠实于叙述者。

Abstract This paper is aiming to analyze the prose of the early 2000s’ young authors from an ideological and political point of view. Fracturism was a literary movement with anarchist and insurgent purposes, but the nature of their values was not clarified by the local literary criticism. This thesis suggests a redefinition of the anti-systemic attitude proposed by the Fracturists. Also, another objective is to clarify the relationship of Fracturist prose to the aesthetics’ domain. In this sense, inconsistencies can be observed between the anti-postmodernist obsession of “The Fracturist Manifesto” and the literary works themselves. Moreover, the subcultural themes as used by the young prose writers become a means of self-promotion in the Romanian literary field from post-Communism.

Abstract The following paper revolves around the concept of biblical motifs, legends and a series of analyses that occur because of their complex and stately nature. Concerning several aspects regarding the similarities between Blaga’s poetry and biblical myths, this study reflects Blaga’s confrontation with God and an analysis of how he invokes God in his poems. Poems like „Paradis în destrămare”, „Bunăvestire”, „Întâia duminică”, „Lacrimile”, „Ioan se sfâşie în pustie”, „Pe ape”, „Balada fiului pierdut” allowed Blaga to create genuine artistic imagery with a very penetrating content, loaded with biblical motifs.
本文围绕《圣经》母题、传说的概念展开,并对其复杂而庄严的本质进行了一系列分析。本研究从布拉加诗歌与圣经神话的相似之处几个方面,反映了布拉加与上帝的对抗,并分析了他在诗歌中如何呼唤上帝。像《Paradis n destr mare》、《bun vestire》、《Întâia duminicule》、《Lacrimile》、《Ioan se sf ie n pustie》、《Pe ape》、《Balada fiului pierdut》这样的诗歌让布拉加能够创造出真正的艺术意象,内容非常深入,充满了圣经的主题。

Abstract Gramatica critică a limbii române (The Critical Grammar of the Romanian Language), authored by Ștefan Găitănaru, was published in 2018, at the University of Pitești Publishing House. The launch of this book took place during the National Conference on Adaptation, Conservation and Rejection in the Evolution of the Romanian Cultural/ Linguistic/ Literary Phenomenon, held at the Faculty of Letters in Sibiu, on May 24, 2019. The purpose of the book, mentioned by the author in the Preface, is to update the grammar research, emphasizing the normative aspect. Thus, we witness a descriptive-normative grammar, with a classical structure: part I - Morphology and part II - Syntax, each section comprising the description, analysis and interpretation of specific components. This Critical Grammar brings to the surface controversial aspects regarding the grammatical structure of the Romanian language, with pertinent observations and recommendations, with solid arguments, for or against, from case to case.

Abstract By analyzing the Lucian Blaga’s poetry, this paper aims to argue how the form of poems contributes significantly to the creation of meaning through the stylistic figure of repetition. From the first volume, „Poems of light”, the repetition gains, beyond an aesthetic function, an ontic one specific to the Lucian Blaga’s consubstantiality between the poetic subject and the universe. During this approach, the repetition multiplies its phenomenalizations, in order to a significant part of the global meaning of the text is due to it. The major conclusion of this paper consists in highlighting a pattern of a continuous and ethereal aspiration to the self-world osmosis depending on Blaga’s creative stages.

Abstract This paper aims to explain the affinities and differences of vision between Lucian Blaga and Emil Cioran on the phenomenon of Romanian historical evolution and national conscience. The two main works analyzed, The Mioritic Space and The Transfiguration of Romania, are in a passionate dialog, complementing each other in a conceptual and philosophical manner. The influence of Spengler’s philosophy is fervent in the works of the two authors, but it is subject to a strong resemantization process in terms of the dynamics between large and small cultures. The place of Romanian culture and history will be presented empathically pozitive by Lucian Blaga, who will use will use it as a foundation for the picturesque theory of the stylistic array. On the other hand, Emil Cioran will condemn the psychological deficiencies of Romanian culture, incapable of creating history.
