Summary/Abstract: Ioana Em. Petrescu’s American experience (1981-1983), recomposed from archive documents. This article aims at illustrating the manner in which archive documents (preserved in the Liviu and Ioana Em. Petrescu archives from the ”Octavian Goga” County Library, Cluj) allow a recomposition of some daily life activities from the Communist era, but also of a mentality horizon confronted with the Western otherness, which is to say – the way in which Romanian intellectuals could, in those troubled times, construct fertile dialogues with the “free world”.
