ZOE DUMITRESCU-BUȘULENGA ȘI LUMEA REVISTELOR CULTURALE
ZOE DUMITRESCU-BUȘULENGA AND THE WORLD OF CULTURAL JOURNALS

Summary/Abstract: Our paper aims at presenting Zoe Dumitrescu-Bușulenga’s rich journalistic activity and, in the same time, applying a novel reading grid to her essays published in the most important Romanian cultural journals of the 20th century: „Secolul XX”, „Scânteia”, „România literară”, „Contemporanul”, „Revista de Istorie și Teorie Literară”, „Luceafărul”, „Tomis”, „Cronica”, „Argeș”, „Ramuri”, „Magazin istoric”, „Steaua”, „Caiete critice”, „Convorbiri literare”, „Viața românească”, „Analele Universității București” etc. Being considered a prominent figure of the last century, truly involved in the Romanian social, cultural and literary climate, Zoe Dumitrescu-Bușulenga was often seen as a literary critic situated between “old” and “new” or caught between two worlds. Therefore, we studied more than 150 articles trying to put in the spotlight her main areas of interest mirrored in the seven directions that we do consider her journalistic activity can be divided. More than simple articles, Zoe Dumitrescu-Bușulenga’s writings bring into attention the imperative need of “human becoming” oriented towards moral values in life.
