Discursul utopic românesc în epoca romantică
Romanian Utopian Discourse in the XIX-th Century

Summary/Abstract: In Europe, the 18th Century was by excellence a century of Utopia. The utopian projections have fascinated the cultural European elites and have assured the crystallization and moving into praxis of the French Revolution’s great social and political ideas. Such a kind of ideas, stretched from the liberalism to the pseudo/scientific Utopia had a big occurrence in the Rumanian Countries too, at the beginning of the 19th Century. These utopical impulses were in fact expressing the traumatical birth of the historical urgency’s feeling. This meant a strong kairotical determination to act immediately for burning the enormous decay of civilization which had separated the Eastern Europe peoples from the main ideological streams of the time. The Utopia has charged it’s self to reduce or annihilate the difference. The 1848`s revolutionary ideological corpus has recuperated many of these pre-existing ideas of the Illuminism melting them with a febrile romantical visionarism. Ion Heliade Rdaulescu has brilliantly illustrated this genuine and productive mixture. Nearby the romantic époque, the uchronical travels, keeping in their internal narrative design ideology, anticipation and social projections will become more and more reluctant. Alexandru Melidon and Demetriu Ionescu gave us in there works some very coherent models of the future’s societies, hidden in a anticipative prospections.
