Poietica prieteniei sau O altă perspectivă asupra eseisticii lui Doinaş
The Poetics of Friendship or Another Perspective of Doinas’Essays

Summary/Abstract: The idea of addressing such issues came to me after reading two studies of Irina Mavrodin, published in the 80’s – Moderns, precursors of Classics (1981) and Poietics and poetics (1982), focused on the issue of the relationship between poietics and poetics. These two concepts have been used by me in a study on the Orphic and narcissistic hypostasis of the theorist Doinaş. On Irina Mavrodin’s line approach, I noticed that the theoretical work of Doinaş works as poietics for his lyric work - which, of course, has its own poetics - but may be also considered a Mise en abyme for the author’s models of reading. Today I consider that the theoretical work (specifically, the eight volumes of essays) can be read as a poietics of friendship (more or less close) of Şt. Aug. Doinaş with the members of the Sibiu Literary Circle (and beyond). Poietics is defined as the science of work about to be set up, not of work as a project / intention or of work as a finished product. From another angle of approach, poietics covers all human creation, aesthetic or not, about to be made, trying to become a science that studies the behavior of homo faber (man the creator). These two views poietics covers all human creation, aesthetic or not, about to be made, trying to become a science that studies the behavior of homo faber (man the creator). These two views are, for the beginning, sufficient arguments to translate the concept of poietics from the realm of work into the realm of friendship. We talk about friendship in the sense of community of ideas, thoughts, aesthetic taste, experience and human feeling. We include in this category the teachers of the members of Sibiu Literary Circle, whom they began meeting ex cathedra, extending their relation almost silently in a fertile spiritual friendship. It is, in fact, a development of a friendship (poietics of friendship), which years have not weakened, but instead have tied more tightly. Some of the members of the Circle (Şt. Aug. Doinaş, Ovidiu Cotruş) developed this vocation of friendship by binding friendly relations with personalities of the European cultural area - and beyond - such as Mircea Eliade, Emil Cioran, Virgil Ierunca, Pierre Emmanuel, Robert Marteau, Deguy Michel, Jean Claude Renard etc.
