ANTON PANN BY LUCIAN BLAGA. POVESTEA VORBEI VS. CÂNTUL MUT

Author(s): Lucian Vasile Bâgiu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 10/2017

“Anton Pann” (1945), Lucian Blaga’s last drama is highly autobiographical. When writing about the popular poet, musicologist and composer Anton Pann, about his love for life and his sacrifice for his literary work, Lucian Blaga is writing, more than ever, about himself. “The Story of the Word” is to be made up out of the people’s proverbial sayings brought together by Anton Pann. The book becomes an artistic expression of the Romanian apriorism, of the ethnical genius in a balance realm. This is possible for the autochthonous “mioritic” space has preserved its connections to the magic even in the modern prosaism. The contacts with the age of the superstition, of the myth are not lost forever. The poet finds himself in a tragic state, caught between vow and denial. Just like Manole the Master Mason, he has both the awareness he is predestinated for the daimonic mission to create and the intuition he cannot dissociate the act of creation from the most specific feeling of human life, which is to be sacrificed, the love. On the night he creates “The Silent Song” the poet gives away everything for his work. The poet is anchored both in the near horizon and “beyond”, bearing both the human bit and the daimonic predestination in his genius nature, leaving from history and making a halt, eternally, into the story.

Approaching Cultural and Historical Aspects in Literary Translation. A Case Study: Ioan Slavici‟s The Lucky Mill Translated by Fred Nădăban

Author(s): Antoanela Marta Mardar / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2016

Starting from a brief, chronological presentation of some significant views on translation, the present paper enlarges on possible approaches to translating cultural and historical aspects in literary texts. The text chosen to illustrate these approaches is Fred Nădăban‘s translation into English of Ioan Slavici‘s Moara cu noroc (The Lucky Mill), because this translation proves an interesting and useful illustration of the way in which a series of aspects specific to the 19th century Romanian culture and history were transferred into a significantly different cultural and historical space, namely the English one.

Approche Métatextuelle Du Discours Dramatique Ionescien – Le Dialogue Avec La Tradition Littéraire

Author(s): Adriana Lazar / Language(s): French / Issue: 4/2012

Literary works are a constant topic of commentary.Literary texts carry specific metalinguistic and metapragmaticelements and require metalinguistic and metapragmatic codesand competences in order to prevent misunderstanding. Ourpaper aims to highlight the reasons for attaching themetatextual label to Eugène Ionesco’s dramatic work.Ionesco’s plays can be viewed as some sort of comment onprevious dramatic texts defying the traditional theatricalconventions. Remarks on literature and art appear all throughhis life : in critical texts, as well as in his characters’statements. Metatextual comment is deeply embedded in theproduction of dramatic text itself and is placed at the naturalconfluence of the playwright and the reader, that is of the onewho writes the plays and the one who watches his writing.

ARGHEZI’S PSALMS AT THE INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE EAST AND THE WEST

Author(s): Ion Popescu-Bradiceni / Language(s): English / Issue: 10/2017

The vision of this article’s author on the psalm is that Tudor Arghezi’s psalms are read, in this case, differently than other scholars would normally read. The Romanian poet could manifest himself in both a contemplative and pragmatic manner on the very basis of an organic synthesis between the cultural-stylistic influences of the East and those of the West. Freely sitting on his own writing, the creator of the right words experiments with something absolutely new: ostensionating/ ostensiologizing of his own lyrical discourse (a shown structure). (I.P. – B.).

ARISTOTEL ŞI RUMEGĂTOARELE – INOROGI ŞI RINOCERI ÎNTRE-VĂZUŢI PRIN OGLINZI PARALELE. MARIN PREDA – INTRUSUL, ALBERT CAMUS - STRĂINUL RĂSPUNSURI ŞI ÎNTREBĂRI, ÎNCERCĂRI DE RE-DE-FINIRE PRIN DIFERENŢA SPECIFICĂ –

Author(s): Diana Sofian / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 11/2017

Any text is a mirror and any mirror is a question. Thus, face to face with the text, that is, somewhere beyond and beyond him and us, lies, in a labyrinth of successions and simultaneity, the questions it generates, the possible answers and, again, questions in the answers. To illustrate the possibility of playing with parallel mirrors, we chose two interpretations of the main character in Marin Preda's Intrusul, for the explicit challenge of re-casting. Putting them face to face is, at the same time, challenging the boundary of the relay through a new interpretation, determined by the intention of a new mirror. The result of this approach was not meant to be a (categorical) answer, but a test of the boundaries through a resumed interrogation on the meaning (/) of the destiny that is present in the universe of Preda's character Călin Surupăceanu.

Arome şi simbol în universul poetic minulescian. O analiză textual-discursivă

Author(s): Mihaela Munteanu - Siserman / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 14/2014

The approach proposed through the textual-discursive analysis of some samples selected from Ion Minulescu’s poetic universe (especially the Romanţe [Romances] series) aims at highlighting elements expressed in the world of signs, which conveys different cultural connotations (the study achieves a short history of perfume and the influence of perfume houses on Romanian poetic space: for instance, the line from a poem by Minulescu “Here is why I love Rosine”, which refers directly to the French perfume house Guerlain). The devices employed to express different textual networks (as they are defined in the model of iceberg texts) – networks that may be of an intonational-melodious kind (identified on the level of rhythm, refrain, and so on) or of an intertextual one (realised by means of direct citation or indirect allusions) – overlap and/or blend with the synesthetic effects in which various sensations (olfactory, colourful, and aural) “communicate” on the affective level and contribute to the construction of meaning.

Aspecte ale cenzurii în bibliotecile românești în secolul al XX-lea

Author(s): Zanfir Ilie / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2/2015

Throughout the history, censorship was the suppression of speech, public communication and a way of expressing political power. By limiting the access to information that was against the state politics, communists achieved to brush aside any forms of resistance and using persuasion the ideas of the new regime were inoculated. The librarians tried to obey the communist law, but sometimes kept hidden forbidden documents that were sent to be destroyed. Over 2.500 titles represent the forbidden books that we have in ‚V.A Urechia‛ Library, some of which we mention the following opponent authors: Agârbiceanu Ion, Bacalbaşa Constantin. Crainic Nichifor, Densusianu, Ovid, Eminescu Mihai. The year 1945 represented for Romania the year that the secret funds appeared generated by the the „Law Act no.364/1945‛ that banned the publish of: books, serials, movies, medals, badges that contained elements against the good relations with the Sovietic Union. Where oppression exists forms of resistance will also exist and authors like Arghezi, Sadoveanu, Topârceanu, Preda found a way of making their voice heard.

ASPECTE ALE DISCURSULUI MEMORIALISTIC FEMININ. IOANA POSTELNICU, SEVA DIN ADÂNCURI

Author(s): Elena FILOTE (PANAIT) / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 34/2015

Situés entre la rhétorique de l’autobiographie (centrée sur le devenir du moi,égocentrique) et celle des mémoires (préoccupés plutôt d’enregistrer lesévénements externes), les textes mémorialistiques écrits par des femmes sontconsidérés comme formes représentatives de l’écriture intime. Dans Seva dinadâncuri (« La sève des profondeurs »), Ioana Postelnicu présente la matièreautobiographique comme un mémorial de voyage, dans lequel elle insère desdifférents projections de son identité, mais aussi de nombreuses références à lagenèse de ses romans. Le texte autobiographique se présente comme discoursfragmenté, mosaïqué, moderne. L’écriture mémorialistique s’est imposée àIoana Postelnicu comme une nécessité existentielle, en équivalant à l’acte deprise de possession de sa propre vie, paraboliquement doté d’une significationmajeure: son devenir comme écrivain

Author(s): Carmen Alexandrache / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2-II/2010

L'ethnicité est exprimée en termes du chroniqueurs roumains œuvres, par les diverses poses, étant le résultats de l'altérité et l'identité. Il est formé en plusieurs” traits” qui caractérisant un groupe social, même si elles sont subjectives et superficielles.

ASPECTS OF LANGUAGE AND STYLE IN MIHAIL SADOVEANU’S THE HATCHET

Author(s): ELENA Fuiorea / Language(s): English / Issue: 7/2014

The paper aims at stylistically comparing a selected excerpt of a Romanian contemporary novel, The Hatchet, with its English translation, laying stress on the lexical and grammatical levels. The study also includes an analysis of the Romanian text at the symbolic level. In the first part of the paper, Choice and Motivation, we will try to explain some of our translation choices and describe patterns of stylistic change which occurs during translation, laying emphasis on such elements as: parts of speech, sentence structure, descriptive patterns, constructions used for stylistic purposes, rhythm, insistent repetitions, the stylistic significances of several definite articles, as well as the use of unliterary forms of verbs and nouns, specific to the vernacular language. The second part of the study, Visual and Auditory Elements, focuses, at the symbolic level, on both the visual and auditory elements within the text. It deals first with the visual elements, at the lexical and stylistic levels, with a special emphasis on the auditory elements, analyzed at the lexical, phonetical and syntactical levels.
