Summary/Abstract: The article investigates different postures of G. Ibrăileanu, the leader of the Viața românească Cenacle, and the impact his manner of living has on the collective existence of the group. First of all, I am interested in how the writers’ lives get accommodated to the life of the mentor, how they manage to adapt their rhythm to his habits, gestures, obsessions, or spatial configurations. Secondly, I analyze the way Ibrăileanuʼs life is invested, in the collective imaginary, with a vocational component. Therefore, the host’s gestures become gestures with literature, while his lifestyle, and the space he inhabits end up producing passions among the cenacle writers.
