Summary/Abstract: Arghezi’s jorurnalistic work is an extraordinary sample of a titanic work that may be said to have begun with his art as a craftman of words in poetic ways of manifestation. Some of his short journalistic proses take the form of the columnist’s tablets (Tablete de cronicar). Reading Arghezi’s short proses gives us a comprehensive and distinct idea of his journalistic language and cognitive universe. We may speak of a stylistic matrix that reveals an interest in renewing the journalistic writing, by enriching it with complex aesthetic traits. In a specific interwar cultural milieu, Tudor Arghezi is an unique author both on account of his peculiar style, and also as a writer with a vast journalistic work. The paper is an attempt to sketch some general coordinates to define a certain stylistic profile of Arghezi’s journalistic work within the theoretical framework provided by various theories of metaphor or studies on the convergence between literature and journalism.
