Emil Cioran in peregrinatio academica, 1933-1945

Summary/Abstract: The years of Emil Cioran's intellectual formation, coinciding with those of "initiation" in the political ideologies of the time, have a major significance in the biography of the Romanian philosopher, and remained largely unknown until now. Peregrinatio academica seems to have had a fundamental impact on his personal and academic development. This article provides new information on the period between 1933 and 1944, when Cioran was a student in the Third Reich and in France. We focus on the way in which the philosopher managed to get the scholarships, the bureaucracy related to them, as well as the cultural and ideological influences the study and living in these contries had on Cioran. We also aim to capture aspects of daily life of Cioran in Germany and France, his relations with various personalities of the time and the image the young philosopher had in the Romanian, German and French cultural millieu.
