Summary/Abstract: The Petrescu archives or the transmitting meaning, focuses on Ioana Em. Petrescu's literary theory elaborated in a cultural context marked by Kantian aesthetics and Schillerian theory of values seems to have escaped the structuralist fashion: her assimilation of the thought of the interwar period, by reading the books of her father's library, allowed Ioana Em. Petrescu to attach great value to sense. The author ponders over the possible influence of Jacques Maritain's thought traced out in the archives of the Petrescu family.
