Generaţia '27: itinerarii identitare*
Generaţia '27: itinerarii identitare*

Summary/Abstract: The opposition between culture and Politics, that the Generation of '27 assumes and practices at least at the beginning and especially through Eliade (who proclaims apoliticism as a strong ideological argument), appears to fade out some years later, when the criterionist project enters (after 1932) a new stage, where the interferences with the political become more and more vigorous. If anti-Semitism used to be essentially theoretical until the 30s, through the idea of economic competition, it is between the World Wars that a part of the Generation of '27 that had gone towards the far-right legitimates a metaphysical establishment: the Jew is no longer seen only as an economic "competitor", but he embodies pure evil and should be extermined on religious grounds (in the case of the legionary doctrine) or by the employment of Metaphysics, as Cioran points out.
