DINAMICA CONFERINŢELOR CRITERIONULUI
Dynamics of “Criterion” Conferences

Summary/Abstract: This study tries to underline the specificity of Criterion’s conferences and their importance for the Romanian intellectual history. Divided in two main cycles: Idols and Romanian contemporary culture, these conferences proposed to regain the prestige of the Romanian modern culture, especially by imposing a significant intellectual experience and remaking the connections with the European tradition. To discuss the major themes of the western culture, without neglecting the national culture represents the Criterion’s manner to be original, innovative and synchronised to the intellectual European circuit. Thereby, the conferences held by Criterion during 1932-1934 are the specified forms of cultural practices and representations of an important intellectual group whose Europeanism is essential.
