DIGITAL RESEARCH OF INTERWAR ROMANIAN NEWSPAPERS. A CASE STUDY

Summary/Abstract: This study highlights the role of digitizing documentary sources such as newspapers and magazines of the interwar period for interdisciplinary philological research. It points out the role of Revista Fundațiilor Regale (The Journal of the Royal Foundations - translated title) in infusing the essence of the European artistic ideas of the moment into the culture of the Romanian. To illustrate this idea, the present pages aim to document the constructive influence that the presentation of André Malraux's writings and personality had on the interwar generation in Romanian culture. The universality of the social and political ideas of the militant intellectual André Malraux are true lessons of the past capitalized by the collaborators of the Royal Foundations Magazine, intellectuals with a wide horizon in Romanian culture, literature and philosophy, a country where the French language was very popular. The cultural debate proposed by the study of the Journal of the Royal Foundations brings to attention the similarities and differences between the French and the Romanian intellectuals, which evolve into centralized and centralist and mostly personalistic cultures. The Journal of the Royal Foundations privileges the intellectual debate and consecration of the writer André Malraux in interwar Romania, where a modern civil society was born, sufficiently informed and consciously engaged on one side or the other.
