ALEXANDRU POPESCU-TELEGA AND NĂZUINȚA: A MOMENT IN THE EVOLUTION OF HISPANIC STUDIES IN ROMANIA

Summary/Abstract: In the field of Spanish-Romanian relations, Năzuința journal emerges as a noteworthy landmark. Provincial, small sized, typographically modest, Năzuința was, for some years (1922- 1929), an important cultural platform with the purpose of (re)activating the contacts between the two geographical and cultural spaces. If in its period came to be known, the decades that have passed since then have spread the mantle of oblivion over its pioneering activity in Spanish cultural studies in Romania. Restored from memories and various notes, its remembrance is often associated with that of Professor Alexandru Popescu-Telega. On what foundation is situated Al. Popescu-Telega’s activity? What was the stage of knowledge about Spain and its culture in the period immediately after World War I? How did he thought the popularization program of Hispanic culture? Which were the pathways in order to disseminate the Hispanic culture? How can we measure its efficiency? Answering to these questions is the proposal of this paper.
