Keywords: Romanian Literature; Post-Communism; Propaganda Literature; Resistance Literature; Underground Literature; Memory.

The article "The Post-War Romanian Literature. Limitations, Prerogatives, Functions" seeks to clarify the main features of the Romanian post-war literature in terms of its relationship with the Communist authorities and their directives. Thus, one can distinguish between a type of literature that turns into propaganda and a type of literature that attempts to circumvent the political and preserve individual values such as: memory, personal histories, Self-culture. The article also drafts the biography of the Post-Communist Romanian literature, focusing on the deep felt need to reorganize its status, vision and themes.

Aporias of the classical doctrine

Apories de la doctrine classique

Author(s): Jean-Louis Backès / Language(s): French / Issue: 16/2009

Keywords: Rhetoric; Poetics; Literary genres; Romance; Lyric poetry; Heroicomic poem.

Classical literary theory was founded by Boileau, whose Art poétique Dryden translated, making use of a strange method: proper names were translated by proper names. So all literary genres were supposed to appear in the literature of every language, and to be represented by an emblematic poet. Still surviving in schools and colleges, classical theory has never made a choice between a systematic but limited construction, such as is to be seen in Aristoteles' Poetics, and a loose system grounded in a would-be synthetic model. This indetermination seems to be the cause of several dead ends theory.

The Imaginary is Apolitical: Peter or the Sun Spots by Vlad Zografi

L’imaginaire est apolitique : Pierre ou les Taches solaires de Vlad Zografi

Author(s): Laura T. Ilea / Language(s): French / Issue: 30/2016

Keywords: Theories of Theatre; Event; Dispersed Imaginary; Untranslatable Consciousness; Politico-Aesthetical Assemblage.

Among post-1989 Romanian playwrights, Vlad Zografi is perhaps the most disturbing and elusive. His distinctive work is punctuated by mythological and historical incursions, reinterpreted in contemporary key (Oedipus in Delphi, Peter or the Sun Spots and The King and the Corpse). Zografi comprehensively questions theories of theatre and of representation, our condition as sensitive and thinking beings, as well as our historical paradoxes. I have specifically chosen to analyse Peter or the Sun Spots to showcase the dispersed imaginary from which Zografi tackles civilization and barbarity; the inability to change the human condition; and the fragility of action in the context of two solitudes (France and Russia) at the heart of Europe. This theatre play, presented at Bonner Biennale with a resounding success, represents a theatrical synthesis of his political, metaphysical, and poetic message.

Keywords: Moroccan Literature; Saphia Azzeddine; Faith; God; Identity; Sin; Freedom; Consciousness; Desire; Pleasure;

In Confidences to Allah, the young Jbara, born into a pious family, leads a depraved life. The moral consciousness that she holds of her education is confounded with a socialized consciousness overwhelmed by the notion of sin. Inhabited by doubt, Jbara is constantly engaged in speculation. Throughout the lived experiences, the character asks many questions, on the good and the bad, the permitted and the prohibited, identity and otherness, the East and the West...

The Tension Between Memory and Oblivion in Le Rapport de Brodeck by Philippe Claudel

Tension entre mémoire et oubli dans Le Rapport de Brodeck de Philippe Claudel

Author(s): Dorel Obiang Nguema / Language(s): French / Issue: 9-10/2021

Keywords: tension; memory; forgetfulness; literature; concentration camp;

This article aims to analyze the conflictual situation experienced by Brodeck and the other characters in the novel caught between memory and oblivion. In fact, Philippe Claudel's novel, The Brodeck Report, tells of the murder of a man, a foreigner, the Anderer, in a village located in the mountains, an event that occurs at the end of the Second World War, when the character relates the facts. The inhabitants of the village assign a young man, Brodeck, to investigate and write a report on the circumstances of the death of this stranger. In addition, Claudel’s novel also deals with the deportation of a main character to a concentration camp during World War II. It is precisely a memory linked to concentration camps. This tension can be articulated in the division between memory and oblivion: remembering the past linked to the murder of this foreigner in the village, the deportation of a category of the population to the extermination camps at the risk of 'accuse certain villagers or simply forget about this troubled past in order to preserve calm in the village. Faced with this dilemma of the characters, what will they choose? Remember or forget?

Marie-Angélique, Aminata and Richard Pierpoint or Singular Figures of Forgotten Canadian Slavery

Marie-Angélique, Aminata et Richard Pierpoint ou figures singulières de l’esclavage canadien oublié

Author(s): Cheikh Mouhamadou Soumoune Diop / Language(s): French / Issue: 9-10/2021

Keywords: Slavery – Canada – Memory – Rewriting – Rehabilitation;

In Canada, the question of slavery is deliberately hidden by historians (with the exception of researchers like Marcel Trudel) or very rarely approached by works of fiction. This is the case with slaves who belonged to their owners until the end, as well as Black Loyalists who, like Richard Pierpoint, won their freedom after the War of 1812. But if specialists of History prefer ignore the facts, the authors of Literature refuse to forget the crimes of slavery. This is the challenge of the novelists Micheline Bail, in L’Esclave, and Lawrence Hill, in The Book of Negroes, a book translated into french and adapted for television under the title Aminata. We’ll analyze this type of literary and television productions which, on the one hand, break the silence on the transatlantic slave trade in (and seen from) Canada by rewriting history, on the other hand, echo the rare documentation on Canadian slavery. This contribution demonstrates therefore how fictional representations make it possible to rehabilitate historical figures of slaves forgotten by historiography.

ELECTRA’S AVATARS IN 20TH-CENTURY FRENCH LITERATURE: THE ADAPTATIONS OF GIRAUDOUX, SARTRE AND YOURCENAR

LES AVATARS D’ÉLECTRE DANS LA LITTÉRATURE FRANÇAISE DU XXE SIÈCLE : LES RÉÉCRITURES DE GIRAUDOUX, SARTRE ET YOURCENAR

Author(s): Francesca Mazzella / Language(s): French / Issue: 01/2022

Keywords: Electra; Giraudoux; Sartre; Yourcenar; myth; cultural translation; adaptation; theatre; resistance; metamorphosis; intertextuality.

This article deals with the new configurations that the mythical figure of Electra enters in French literary works of the 1940s. Starting from a theoretical premise concerning the most recent theory of adaptations and the concept of cultural translation, this reflection focuses on the three distinct avatars of the heroine in the theatrical works of Jean Giraudoux (Électre, 1937), Jean-Paul Sartre (Les Mouches, 1943) and Marguerite Yourcenar (Électre ou La Chute des masques, 1944).

The Siberias of the Mihalkov brothers and our tears (I)

Siberiile fraţilor Mihalkov şi lacrimile noastre I.

Author(s): Răzvan Ionescu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 04/2022

Keywords: Mikhalkov brothers; Russian directors; “Siberiada” movie; Russian soul; communism; Kremlin; Ukraine;

This article presents the Mihalkov brothers, Russian directors, and their cinematic art. The film Siberiada, directed by Andrei Mihalkov Koncealovski, remains a crushing film for the viewer who is confronted with the magnitude of the Russian soul. Director Andrei Mihalkov Koncealovski’s biography is spectacular and seemingly sinuous, leaving room for all sorts of comments from those who do not want to perceive in it the artist’s constant obsession with searching, discovering and certainly justifying the motivations of human truth behind history. In 2012, Koncealovsky wrote, directed and produced the documentary Battle for Ukraine, a film that, at the time, raised a series of questions that resonate even more painfully today. Russian director Andrei Koncealovsky tells us that Ukraine is not Russia, despite its common history, a conclusion that is painful for both Russia and a part of the Ukrainian society. The Mikhalkov family always had a close relationship with Kremlin. For the two filmmakers, this was a given. And they’re not to blame for that. After all, this is the context in which they were born and raised.

CRIMINOLOGICAL THANKING OF THE ACADEMICIAN MILAN MILUTINOVIĆ

КРИМИНОЛОШКА МИСАО АКАДЕМИКА МИЛАНА МИЛУТИНОВИЋА

Author(s): Žarko Jašović / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 1-2/1994

Keywords: Criminality; Criminology; Phenomenology; Etiology; Etiological schools

Academic creativity of the Academician Milutinovié includes various problems of criminality as a phenomenon. Some of his works are of a pioneering nature, with high-level quality and significant achievements. This is particularly true for his -trilogy dedicated to three close and relatively independent sciences of criminality: criminology, criminal policy and penology. This is a unique undertaking in our literature and rather rare internationally. His highest level has been reached, however, in the sphere of criminology and he is rightly considered as the founder of contemporary criminology in the wider Yugoslav area. In his capital word - Criminology, an other numerous works, he has elaborated almost all significant issues of criminology, as a science. In doing this, he has used the results of relevant thinking and of empirical research of our own and foreign authors. On the ground of detailed and genuine critical insight into many schools concerning etiology of criminality, Milutinović has set forth and developed his own, in many respect original and unique theoretical conception of studying criminality. This conception leads to the explanation of phenomenal-manifestational and, first of all, etiological side of criminality. According to him, that science appears as a synthetic interdisciplinarily based social science of criminality as individual and as social phenomenon. Mentioned and other contributions of Professor Milutinovié are of such a quality that they make him belong to the most eminent of contemporary criminologists.

Pity and Fear: On Animals in Herta Müller's Texts

Mitleid und Furcht: Zur Rolle der Tiere in Herta Müllers Texten

Author(s): Grazziella Predoiu / Language(s): German / Issue: 22/2022

Keywords: semantic animals; victims and aggresors, power scenario; dictatorship;

Tiere sind ein beliebtes Requisit der Müllerschen Texte, sie tauchen sowohl in den Titeln vieler Romane, als auch in der beschriebenen epischen Welt auf. Meistens sind es Haustiere, lebendig oder tot, aber auch surrealistische Erfindungen. Tiere verbinden die dörfliche und städtische Welt, wie es das Beispiel des Frosches zeigt. Die Tiere treten als Opfer der dörflichen Welt auf, versinnbildlichen das Leiden unter dem Druck der dörflichen Diktatur, werden aber auch zu Agenten, zu Tätern im Machtszenario der städtischen Welt. Anhand der Tiermetaphern wird auch auf die Wechselbeziehung Individuum-Staat verwiesen, wobei Tiere auch die Sehnsucht nach Liebe verkörpern.

Places of Emptiness in the Novel The Man Who Sleeps by Georges Perec and Its Film Adaptation

Места на празнота в романа Спящият човек на Жорж Перек и неговата екранизация

Author(s): Rennie Yotova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 1/2022

Keywords: New Novel; New Wave; rhetorical places; emptiness; existential crisis

This text examines George Perec's novel The Man Who Sleeps and its adaptation through a young man's existential crisis in search of the meaning of his existence. The disintegrated time and space introduce the reader to the labyrinth of wandering consciousness through the “rhetorical places”, the delight of emptiness, on the border between dream and reality. The work is close to the experiment of the literary movement “New Novel”, approaching in the film the “camera-pen” embodied in the New Wave of French cinema.

Tchevengur ‒ orphan novel or dystopia?

Cevengur – roman al orfanilor sau distopie?

Author(s): Antoaneta Olteanu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2012

Keywords: Platonov; Tchevengur; distiopia; folk utopia; peasants; loneliness; social orphanage;

The unfinished novel of Andrey Platonov, Tchevengur, remains one of the most intriguing pieces of soviet literature. Often interpreted as a dystopia, the novel opens to the reader as a composite book discussing the deepest problems of both Russian and Soviet Russia: mysticism, folk philosophy, men on the edge of society, original meanings of cooperation, self-support and devotion to nearest people. The paper is trying to analyze different approaches of the novel and to propose a different way of interpretation.

Music in the Art of Samuel Beckett

Muzica în arta lui Samuel Beckett

Author(s): Ștefan Roman / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1-2/2022

Keywords: Samuel Beckett; “Fin de partie”; aesthetics; music; opera;

In November 2018, the premiere of the opera "Fin de parties" by György Kurtág took place at the Scala theater in Milan. On a stage with a rather conservative and traditional reputation, the performance based on Samuel Beckett’s libretto invites an exploration of the musicality of this modernist playwright. Often, in his correspondence, Beckett resorts to a critical, aesthetic reading of the concerts he heard. Being also a quite appreciated pianist (in non-professional circles), we can realize the importance that music had in shaping both his aesthetics and his dramaturgical constructions. This essay aims to explore the “musical details” present in Beckett’s work, aiming at a reconstitution, even if not complete, of the theatrical expression of the musicality of his texts. The possibilities of staging them were fulfilled by countless compositions, or musical works, including Kurtág’s work, "Fin de parties", which we will mainly deal with and from which we will actually start our research.
