Oana Magdalena CENAC — 2025-04-29

Publicată la Editura Universității din București, în Colecția Lingua, lucrarea Gabrielei Bîlbîie se constituie într-un
demers necesar și util, coordonarea fiind unul dintre fenomenele sintactice destul de puțin dezbătute în lucrările de referință.

Ana Blandiana, Rochia de înger

Simona ANTOFI — 2025-04-29

Ana Blandiana's literary prose acquires, in the sequence entitled Rochia de înger [The Angel's Dress], the particular relevance of a fantastical - oneiric writing in which the (supposedly) real data are mixed up to total confusion with the data of a dream version of the existing. The construction of the world through discourse is made possible through a character whose perception of the outer world is materially and synaesthetically contaminated
and who, by moving through a dream - or several dreams - recomposes her biography on the
borderline between life and death.

Hermeneutica „absenței” în cărțile „neștiute”. Incursiuni autobiografice – Bogdan Suceavă, Istoria lacunelor. Despre manuscrise pierdute (II)

Nicoleta IFRIM — 2025-04-30

The second part of the analysis focusing Bogdan Suceavă’s ‘Istoria lacunelor’ underlines the function of the autobiographical insertions which relate to `second degree` personal history entailed by the essayistic discourse.

COMENTARII ASUPRA UNOR HODONIMIE GĂLĂȚENE

Oana Magdalena CENAC — 2025-04-29

Street names reflect the image of a microtopos in the public space. Although these names should be chosen according to objective criteria, they are subjected to administrative arbitrariness, often subordinated to social
and political circumstances. In our paper, we shall analyze the contemporary urban denominative reality of the city of Galati, selected from cartographic sources (the map of Galati, 2002). We have taken the theoretical information of the field which we have processed and applied in our investigations on urbanonymic formulae.

Cenzura și subterfugiile scriitorilor români în perioada interbelică

Cezara-Ioana MEREUȚĂ — 2025-04-29

The interwar period in Romania was characterized by a complicated interaction between
democratic ambitions and authoritarian control in the field of the press. Although the 1923
Constitution protected freedom of expression, later governments enforced censorship—particularly in
times of political unrest. This was seen in national publications as well as local media from towns like
Galați and Brăila, which were so important for regional political dialogue. The methods of
censorship, the organizations in charge of press control, and the techniques used by writers and
reporters to get beyond constraints are investigated in this paper. To negotiate these restrictions,
eminent writers such as Tudor Arghezi, Camil Petrescu, and Nae Ionescu employed allegory, satire,
and coded language. The paper also looks at the case of a suppressed story from the Acțiunea daily in
Brăila, showing how smaller newspapers encountered the same difficulties as national ones.

Paradoxuri ale corpului în romanul Tatianei Țîbuleac, Vara în care mama a avut ochii verzi

Alina CAZAC GHIȚU — 2025-04-29

The aim of this paper is to present how, in the narrative Vara în care mama a avut ochii verzi (The Summer When Mum Had Green Eyes) by Tatiana Țîbuleac, the mother’s body becomes a pretext for the identity construction of the characters. Our analysis is based on the mother-son relationship and our objective is to identify the paradoxes of the body in the novel, starting with the mother’s eyes, the core idea of the story. On the one hand, the eyes make the connection between the inside and the outside of the characters. The mother suffers a physical transformation and the changes of the body have a great impact on Aleksy’s interiority, the son with mental health problems. On the other hand, another paradox of the corporeality in the novel is the one of the body’s disolution that is restoring the relationship between the rebellious teenager and his dying mother. The
more the mother's body changes, the more love replaces hate and changes the way in which Aleksy perceives reality. Finally, the last part of the study will focus on the paradoxical way in which death actually means an inner birth, solving the identity problems of the characters.

L ’autofiction en procès : l’approche doubrovskienne

Alina Cornelia Mușat — 2025-04-29

This article offers a reflection on the issue of autofiction; this concept is arousing growing interest in the sphere of contemporary French literature. Critics struggle to accept a single definition while self-fiction writers have divergent practices. In this work, we propose to reflect on the writing of oneself as a staging of the (con)fusion between literature and life, in Doubrovsky’s the Broken Book. Serge Doubrovsky has always played with the mixture between autobiography and fiction through the lens of autofiction.

Affirmation et confirmation de la foi dans l’œuvre d’Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt

Andreea Alina BUȘE (PÎRȘU) — 2025-04-29

L’expérience spirituelle qui se retrouve au cœur du récit La Nuit de Feu, représente pour Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt non seulement le surgissement artistique, l’entrée dans l’écriture et la confirmation de la posture scripturale, mais également, cela devient le moment phare irriguant toute l’œuvre de l’écrivain. Dans le présent propos nous nous proposons d’analyser la manière dont ce voyage révélateur influence le processus d’écriture et l’art de l’œuvre schmittienne.

Călătoria ca modus vivendi feminin în literatură

Andreea-Valentina MIROIU — 2025-04-29

Le voyage symbolise la recherche d'une vérité, d'un centre spirituel, il est le symbole de la transcendance vers l'absolu, la recherche de la Mère perdue. Pour Olga Caba, le voyage devient un modus vivendi, une forme d'évasion
des griffes de la censure roumaine, une introspection dans les zones les plus intimes du moi, totaliter aliter. Otilia Marchiș est une femme audacieuse qui force et change son destin en parcourant le monde.

Raportul existent între sintaxa propoziţiei şi sintaxa frazei în limba română contemporană

Loredana-Liliana BUZOIANU — 2025-04-29

Syntax is that part of grammar that deals with the study of the function of words and sentences and which establishes the rules for combining words in sentences and phrases. In the study I have conducted, I have tried to identify the similarities between sentence syntax and clause syntax, but also the limits of the phenomenon of correspondence between the parts of a sentence and subordinate clauses

La facétie dans la mémoire littéraire du Grand Siècle : des Facéties poggiennes à la facétie française du XVIIe siècle

Cătălin BĂRBUNȚĂ — 2025-04-29

Le présent travail vise à examiner la place de la facétie parmi les genres éditoriaux du XVIIe
siècle. Très populaire à la Renaissance, cette espèce littéraire demeure, dans la mémoire de la première modernité, un moyen de provoquer le rire tout en étant perçu, à cause de ses thèmes licencieux, comme un instrument subversif. Soumis à la censure, le genre facétieux subit divers ajustements au fil du temps, contraignant les auteurscompilateurs de recueils facétieux à modifier les textes empruntés pour demeurer dans les limites culturelles et sociales imposées par les bienséances. Ces changements touchent plusieurs aspects, tels que la forme, le style, le langage et le ton, sans pour autant en altérer l’essence. Bien que la dimension textuelle de la facétie française s’enrichisse par rapport à celle latine de Poggio, le déroulement discursif des facéties reste presque identique : Garon, par exemple, s’avère être un héritier assez fidèle du style facétieux poggien. Cette évolution reflète une adaptation aux attentes culturelles du XVIIe siècle, puisque la facétie subit des changements notables, sans toutefois perdre toutes ses caractéristiques définitoires : elle conserve son caractère risible et critique, ainsi que les répliques mordantes des personnages.

Mircea Popescu sau despre vocația de centru spiritual al exilului românesc

Mihaela RUSU — 2025-04-29

Cet article se propose d'offrir une image complète de la personnalité et de l'œuvre de l'italianiste Mircea Popescu, à l'intention de lui donner une place méritoire dans la conscience des générations actuelles. En essayant de sauver les valeurs d'un passé roumain qui risquait de rester inconnu de la postérité, Mircea Popescu a assumé la responsabilité de coordonner les activités de la Société Académique Roumaine et de la „Revue des écrivains roumains”, car il voulait montrer au monde entier de l'après-guerre que les frontières de la littérature roumaine ne se limitaient pas aux frontières ethniques et étatiques.

Toposuri și heterotopii discursive în literatura lumilor secundare

Viorica ISAIA — 2025-04-29

This article aims to conceptually delimit secondary worlds, by referring to the preferred topos. Fantasy narratives, however, present positive and negative spaces that are in a mythical conflict. The secondary world is usually composed of a eutopia (as a paradisiacal space) and a dystopia (as an infernal space), but neither eutopia of this type nor dystopia are topologies according to classical definitions.

Paul Valéry et les dynamiques des études littéraires contemporaines: Poétique et réflexion sur la création artistique

Daniela Eugenia STOIAN (DINU) — 2025-04-30

Cet article explore l'œuvre de Paul Valéry à travers le prisme des dynamiques des études
littéraires contemporaines, en mettant l'accent sur la dimension poétique et poïétique de sa réflexion.
L'œuvre de Paul Valéry est profondément marquée par la dimension poétique et poïétique, deux
aspects étroitement liés mais distincts dans sa réflexion sur la création artistique. La dimension
poétique et poïétique dans l'œuvre de Paul Valéry constitue une exploration complexe de la création
artistique, à la fois dans sa forme et dans son processus. La dimension poétique se manifeste à travers
ses poèmes, où Valéry utilise un langage riche et précis pour exprimer des émotions profondes et des
idées complexes. En revanche, la dimension poïétique chez Valéry concerne sa réflexion sur le
processus de création artistique. Il était fasciné par les mécanismes de l'inspiration, de la
composition et de la production des œuvres d'art (Pour une analyse plus approfondie de l'importance
de la poïétique dans l'œuvre de Valéry, consulter l'ouvrage La Poïétique et ses enjeux, chapitre 3, p.
78)

EUGEN SIMION, PILON AL CRITICII GENERAȚIEI ʼ60 (II)

George PANȚICĂ — 2025-04-29

Criticul literar Eugen Simion se remarcă prin contribuția sa esențială la analiza și
valorificarea literaturii române postbelice, începând cu generația ’60, considerată una dintre cele
mai valoroase de după război. Cele patru volume din seria Scriitorii români de azi (1974–1989)
reprezintă o panoramă critică de referință, evidențiind creațiile unor scriitori precum Nichita
Stănescu, Marin Sorescu, Ana Blandiana sau Adrian Păunescu. Criticul analizează obiectiv evoluția
poeziei, prozei și a criticii literare, subliniind relansarea literaturii române într-o perioadă dificilă.
De asemenea, prin lucrări precum Timpul trăirii – timpul mărturisirii sau Întoarcerea autorului,
criticul abordează teme inovatoare, precum relația dintre creator și operă, inspirându-se din noile
teorii critice franceze, dar rămânând fidel unui stil personal, profund și nuanțat.

COSMOGRAPHIE, SINGULARITÉS ET SENSIBILITÉ DANS LES NAVIGATIONS DE NICOLAS DE NICOLAY

Georgeta MARINESCU — 2025-04-29

Au XVIe siècle, le monde change grâce au développement de la navigation et les terres
découvertes mettent en évidence une nouvelle grandeur du monde. Récemment incluse parmi les
sciences, la géographie offre à la culture européenne de nouvelles perspectives pour comprendre les
rapports unissant la Terre et l’homme. La méthode cosmographique, qui est largement employée dans
les récits de voyage pendant la Renaissance, met en évidence une conception différente sur l’univers
et les hommes, privilégiant les témoignages directs et les singularités. En s’appuyant sur les récits de
voyage de l’époque, notre communication se propose d’analyser la manière par laquelle les
singularités rencontrées lors des voyages en Orient, et notamment dans l’Empire ottoman, y sont
mises en évidence. Une attention particulière sera accordée aux Navigations et pérégrinations de
Nicolas de Nicolay, qui se distingue des autres récits de voyageurs par une sensibilité exacerbée et
une autre manière de percevoir la société turque

Ana Blandiana, Zburătoare de consum

Simona ANTOFI — 2025-04-29

In Zburătoare de consum, the parable formula, contaminated oneirically and illustrating a particular fantasy, lyrically and confessionally imprinted by Ana Blandiana's unmistakable hand, acquires the expression of a symbolic circuit a clef, in which epiphany is coloured profanely and reconfigures the factual data.

Memoria culturală și socială reflectată în literatură

Ninela Adina NEDELEA — 2025-04-29

From the first volume of stories, Fănuș Neagu writes about the disappearance of a picturesque world and customs, although sometimes barbaric, althoughhe does not want to show how a new world wins, the world of institutionalization, collective assimilated to factories, a world taken out of an ancestral flow, resettled in cities. Assimilated to Bucharest, where he feels at home, he always tends to escape to the Danube area in almost all the works he worte. The element of the psychology of creation preserve the authentic, although literature during its debut period was not favorable context, in the full communist period, the calendar of dogmatism still had enough unbroken pages. Fănuș Neagu’s literary creation continued to bear its own pressures, of a reality of
subordinationto the political ideology of the time. The village, the factory and the history would
become real sources of inspiration for Fănuș Neagu, making them true schemes of reality, even with
the risk of becoming dangerous once the limits imposed by the regime of the time were exceeded. The
debut story ,,Snowing in Bărăgan”would foreshadow a departure from the canons of the era. The
Romanian epic creation places the rurald world exclusively under the horizon of social conflicts,
exploited in the spirit of the political strategy of the time. In this context Fănuș Neagu brings the
harsh reality of the times to the level of a literature worthy of study through real experiences, with the
most interesting characters, delightful metaphors and topics that cover the entire context, preserving
the cultural and social memory reflected in the ever-living literature.

Intertextualitate și dialogism în Republica lui Bogdan Suceavă

Viviana OPREA (NEAGU) — 2025-04-29

Bogdan Suceavă is a contemporary Romanian writer and mathematician, working as a professor of mathematics at California State University, Fullerton. As a writer, he tackled various epic formulas and he proved to be a keen observer or the Romanian history and politics. The study focuses on the hybrid structure of the novel The Republic by Bogdan Suceavă. This literary reconstruction of an historical event, the ephemeral Republic of Ploiești, is based on literary and historical sources. The Republic is a novel written as a play, combining prose with elements specific to the dramatic genre, such as acts, scenes, stage directions and a list of characters. Thus, the fragmentariness results from the alternation of the narrative with the dramatic dialogue. The novel is intertextual and dialogical, as quotes, situations and characters borrowed from Caragiale's works intermingle with fragments from Candiano-Popescu's memoirs. As a character, Caragiale has a double perspective on the narrated events, as he is both a participant in the revolution and a court stenographer during the trial. Although his source of inspiration is Caragiale's work, Suceavă's irony seems detached and doesn't turn into sarcasm.
Moreover, his irony creates the necessary distance for reflection and analysis.

„MultiplicItatea existenței” ca aspirație erotică masculină. O analiză a romanului „Cele 20 000 de femei din viața unui bărbat” de Gabriel Osmonde din perspectiva lui Georges Bataille asupra sexualității/ ‘The multiplicity of existence’ as male erotic asp

Elena Daniela GOROVEI — 2025-04-29

There are three sub-themes that depict the larger subject of male existential crisis
in the novel ‘The 20000 Women in a Man’s Life’ by Gabriel Osmonde, namely: sexuality, death and
literature. This paper aims at illustrating how the concept of ‘multiplicity of existence’ as put forward
by the novel’s author can be correlated with George Bataille’s standpoint on eroticism. The latter is
seen as a desire to escape one’s fragmented existence so as to gain access to the sense of union one
can attain in death only. Following a series of failed erotic attempts, the main character identifies a possible suicide as a means to experience the feeling of continuity so craved by his soul. He delays his suicide plan
several times, the last one being justified by the need to create a fiction which would compensate, at
least partially, for the failures in his real life. Thus, the novel in question is a metafiction which brings
together, subtly unifying them, the individual destiny of a man undergoing a crisis and the separate
destinies of his alter-egos.

A brief theoretical overview of imagological literary studies

Nataliia Potapenko — 2025-04-29

One of the leading research strategies for studying the images of countries is
imagology. In a broad sense, this concept can be interpreted as knowledge about the image of another
country and people. The main sources of this field are culture, literature, language and folklore.
Imagology has acquired an interdisciplinary character, thus being of great importance in literary
studies. Literary imagology studies the issue of the literary depiction of other peoples, it investigates
how images enter the consciousness of society in various types of discourse, in particular in fiction,
and then are transformed into stereotypical images and form the nation's perception of itself and
other peoples. In modern conditions, the study of the peculiarities of perception of the country image
in literature is of great interest. So, it can be inferred that imagology is one of the new methods of
studying literature. Not only the country depicted is under research, but also the context of the image,
the position of the authors

Proza scurtă a Gabrielei Adameșteanu-exercițiul de rescriere

Ancuța Maria Smădu — 2025-04-30

This article proposes a brief presentation of the short prose of the author Gabriela Adameșteanu in which she illustrates a feminine vision of literature captured from different angles, professional environments and work relationships in Bucharest in the '70s. The two volumes of short prose contain in filigram all the elements that characterize the entire work of the writer. Even if they are short stories and stories with their own autonomy, they can be read as reduced scenes from the novel, because they deal with topics and themes that identify
with the reality of the time, which is why they can be considered as vitalizing literature. This peculiarity that the texts in short prose have in common, so that, most of the time, the characters migrate from one text to another, receiving the same name or not. The author has the ability to construct dramatic paintings specific to her literature because she understands differently the role of the subject's moments, namely the plot and the climax, specific to the postmodernist period.

Alegorii livrești, reprezentări și funcții ale naratarului- personaj în nuvela Caravana cinematografică de Ioan Groșan

Tatiana-Daniela TIHAN (BERCARIU) — 2025-04-30

According to the latest decades’theories, the reader’s perception brings a significant
contribution to the composition of the literary work. The fiction is born through the interaction
between the world imagined by the writer and the world perceived by the reader. The postmodernist
text includes the reader and exposes the artistic strategies.
In this study, we intend to identify the representations, the construction particularities and the literary
roles of the narratee- character in Ioan Groșan’s short story The cinematographic caravan, as well as
its moral and existential meanings.
The young librarian is the writer’ s fictional alter ego. She transfigures her existential adventure in a
literary discourse which she then receives in a self-referential reading with a mise en abyme function,
which tames the reality and reveals its coherence.
The truck filled with a pile of red books suggests the decay of literature as communist propaganda.
The receivers of these malign texts are inexistent, even though officially reading them was mandatory.
In a totalitarian regime, not only people’s fate is grotesquely distorted, but also that of the written
word.
The village sergeant is another reade, envisaged by the author as a caricature of the receiver. He is
fascinated listening to the stories which Darcleu, Scheherazade’s parodic simulacrum, is compelled to
tell. This episode represents a literary allegory to the power of literature to replace the dystopic
reality. Ioan Groșan’s postmodernist literature assimilates, through this episode, the canon of folk
literature

L 'art de la mémoire: une approche poïétique de l’œuvre de Paul Valéry et ses résonances culturelles et sociales

Ana Maria TORKOS — 2025-04-29

L’œuvre de Paul Valéry se distingue par sa richesse et sa profondeur, se situant à la
croisée de plusieurs disciplines : la poésie, la philosophie et l’essai. Cette transversalité lui permet
d’aborder la création artistique non seulement comme un produit fini, mais comme un processus
complexe où la mémoire joue un rôle central. Pour Valéry, la mémoire est une force vivante, un
réservoir d’expériences et de savoirs qui nourrit et façonne l’acte créatif. Elle ne se limite pas à un
simple rappel du passé, mais agit comme un moteur capable de transformer l’héritage en nouveauté.
À travers une approche poïétique, qui s’intéresse au « faire » artistique, on découvre comment Valéry
mobilise la mémoire individuelle et collective pour créer des œuvres où passé et présent se
rencontrent. Dans La Jeune Parque ou Le Cimetière marin, il convoque des références mythologiques
et philosophiques, tout en interrogeant les questions existentielles et sociales de son époque. Cette
capacité à dialoguer avec les traditions tout en innovant confère à son œuvre une résonance
intemporelle.
Ainsi, Valéry ne se contente pas d’explorer la mémoire culturelle et sociale ; il en fait une source
d’inspiration et un moyen de renouveler le lien entre l’art et la société

Feminism and Science Fiction – a Challenge of Gender Norms

Iulia TUDORACHE-ARFIRE — 2025-04-29

Feminist science fiction is a subgenre of science fiction that presents different feminist themes in an effort to deconstruct traditional gender roles and expose different societies, even different futures. It is markedly different from most formal mainstream SF (living and working with robots, exploring the universe) but the fiction is still present. Among the topics that are debated in this subgenre are: gender, sexuality, (questioning the) patriarchy, the right on one’s own body, race, class. For example, a novel like The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin tries to explain the fluidity of gender, while The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood points out the oppression of women regarding their reproductive capabilities in a dominant male society. Even though there seems to be a distinction between the two directions of the same subgenre, feminism (with female authors) and science fiction (with male authors), both function as a critique to contest the current processes of
exclusion/ power relations and envision an alternative world. The presentation will be concerned with a brief history of feminist SF and the reasons why it has become such a valuable addition to the SF subgenre and a weapon of criticism of the present-day society.

Tradition théâtrale. Farce et facétie

Valentin - Cezar TEODORESCU — 2025-04-29

L’analyse du genre dramatique de la farce semble apporter des réponses importantes en ce qui concerne les manifestations facétieuses telle que celles-ci se manifestent pendant la Renaissance et au début du XVIIème siècle. La coexistence de la farce et de la facétie, les rapports de subordination alternative entre les deux, les similitudes et les ressemblances peuvent constituer des occasions de discussions infinies. Michel Rousse fait remarquer lors du célèbre colloque de Goutelas dédié justement à la facétie que « dans la littérature des contes, la facétie est toujours portée directement ou indirectement par les mots, par les discours. Il en va souvent
de même bien sûr dans les farces, mais le théâtre dispose de moyens de jeu beaucoup plus divers et nous pouvons observer comment les objets deviennent sources de facétie, soit au niveau le plus élémentaire par leurs connotations sociales préexistant à la représentation (et l’obscène a les faveurs de la scène farcesque), soit à un niveau plus raffiné par les implications du jeu qu’ils vont libérer ».131 La principale différence entre le farcesque et le facétieux ne serait donc pas d’ordre dramaturgique (les deux mettent en scène la raillerie, la satire, le bon
tour, le retournement), que d’ordre stylistique, c’est-à-dire dans le traitement de ces procédés, dans la nature du rire qu’ils vont provoquer et dans les publics auxquels ils s’adressent

Virgil Tănase - Povestirile unui exilat revoltat

Iuliana BARNA — 2025-04-29

Virgil Tănase does nothing but “voluptuously experiment with the diversity of the egos of his
psychological world. The scenes, moments, and paintings are narratively fixed around states of psychosis,
around obsessions that have internally marked his existence”. [1] The oneiric text emerged as a form of
resistance to literature enslaved to the communist doctrine, and the artist’s dream, idealistic and
surrealist, is built from a succession of real stories pierced by fictional worlds.The author multiplies
symbols in his writing and the confusion of narrative voices, bringing to the fore the great themes of loss,
identity, exile and memory. Identity metamorphoses, self-reflexivity, sharp lucidity, and language games
are characteristic of the oneiric author, who manifests his resilience through writing.

Bărbaţi, femei şi amorezi: traducere-adaptare după Honoré de Balzac, Physiologie du mariage: o analiză comparativă

Diana CRUPENSCHI — 2025-04-29

Men, Women and Lovers: translation-adaptation after Honoré de Balzac, Physiologie du
mariage: a comparative analysis presents, in the context of Romanian culture in the first decades of
the XIXth century, and the unprecedented phenomenon of translations from French, Mihail
Kogălniceanu's translation and adaptation of fragments from Balzac, Physiologie du mariage. The
analysis was carried out through the method of parallel arrangement of the compared texts and lineby-line comparison with the French original, in order to determine the degree of fidelity to the
original and certain linguistic and stylistic particularities relevant to the work of Mihail
Kogălniceanu and the historical-cultural and literary context of the first decades of the XIXth century
