“Où va la Roumanie?”: Les chroniques d’Alphonse Dupront dans L’Europe nouvelle des années 1930
What direction for Romania? The Chronicles of Alphonse Dupront in the Issues of L’Europe nouvelle of the 1930s

Summary/Abstract: The historian Alphonse Dupront (1905–1990) was not particularly tempted by journalism. His experience in this field of writing has been known in Romania only through two titles, both published during his Romanian activity as a director of the French Institute (1932–1940): “D’une politique de rayonnement français à l’étranger,” a dense text, bordering on casual journalism, published in four successive issues of the prestigious magazine founded by Louise Weiss, L’Europe nouvelle, between 26 September and 21 November 1936, and “Où va la Roumanie?,” signed with the pseudonym Pierre Noël in the same magazine of 22 January 1938. Therefore, it would be necessary to add two or perhaps even three articles ignored so far, as well as other initiatives that put more emphasis on his appetite for the journalistic exercise and at the same time show his contribution to the knowledge of Romanian realities through L’Europe nouvelle.
