HERMENEUTICS AND GEO-CRITICISM. GHEORGHE MANOLACHE’s 75 ANIVERSARY MEDALLION
HERMENEUTICS AND GEO-CRITICISM. GHEORGHE MANOLACHE’s 75 ANIVERSARY MEDALLION

Summary/Abstract: A formidable theoretician of reading and promoter of literary and cultural hermeneutics, Gheorghe Manolache („Lucian Blaga“ University of Sibiu) is equally a prolific historian of literary ideas (see his seven volumes of studies undertaken by doctoral students from Romania, Hermeneutica fenomenului literar, under his coordination). A broader perspective reveals the professor’s preference for academic criticism—confident in the critique’s new meanings, synthesizing, and drawn to methodologies, principles, and complex conceptual resources. However, the arsenal of academic literary criticism finds in him the contribution of a unique methodology reflected in a set of principles that clearly define the physiognomy of research in the 21st century field of literature and innovation. In 2025, Gheorghe Manolache, a pillar of academic knowledge in Romania and a sage of literary research, reaches the beautiful age of 75. The figure of Proteus corresponds to the boundless field of themes approached with creativity by Professor G. Manolache. He is an eloquent observer of comparative postmodern phenomena and of their roots and metamorphoses.
