"Cântec pentru tovarăşul Gh. Gheorghiu-Dej". Mihai Beniuc şi realismul socialist

Author(s): Alexandra Toader / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 59/2013

Keywords: Mihai Beniuc; cult of personality; socialist realism; communist regime; privileges; “Proletkult”

The article explores the relationship between political power and literature in post-war communist Romania and examines the poems composed by writers for their “beloved leader”. In particular, the text emphasizes the position of the new cultural elite of the so-called “dejist” period analyzing the biography and work of Mihai Beniuc, one of the most representative poets of the “Proletkult”. Accordingly, the study depicts the main features of the poem entitled “Cântec pentru tovarăşul Gh. Gheorghiu-Dej” [Song for Comrade Gh. Gheorghiu-Dej], concluding that its publication had a great contribution to manufacturing a genuine personality cult around Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, the first leader of the Romanian Workers’ Party.

Cultural Rationalism in the Romanian Essay Writing in the Interwar Period. Mihai Ralea

Raţionalism cultural în eseul românesc interbelic. Mihai Ralea

Author(s): Ileana Ghemes / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2013

Keywords: Romanian culture; national identity; interwar period; Mihai Ralea

Educated within the frame of the socialist positivism with ’Viaţa românească’ (‘The Romanian Life’) (1927), a supporter of the militant peasant-oriented movement, of the agrarian interwar socialism, Mihai Ralea rejected cultural exclusivism and expressed a positive attitude as towards the culture-civilisation independence under the shape of adaptability. In Fenomenul românesc (The Romanian Phenomenon) (1927), he was preoccupied with the defining of the Romanian soul and with the modality in which it shaped the world, with the faiths, illusions, hopes and myths of the Romanians. To Mihai Ralea, the justification of the Romanians as ethnic unity was conditioned by the accomplishment of the national cultural values, the point of departure being the handicap of being left behind from the rhythm of the cultivated countries in terms of centuries of civilisation. He saw the Romanian space as ’a corridor of passage for the peoples between East and West’ and identified the values of the Romanian specificity as a result of the influences and contributions exercised by the ’activist voluntarism of the West’ and ’the fatalist passivity of the East’. By means of adaptability, the Romanian soul assimilated the influences favoured by its affective and spiritual functions, designing a new synthesis, a balance between two extremes. Mihai Ralea distinguished between two types of adaptability: the former, closer to the Eastern one, more passive, represented by the Moldavian and the Bessarabian types, and another one, closer to the Western one, more active, represented by the Wallachian and the Transylvanian types; an intermediary type would be the mountainous one, corresponding to the region of Muntenia. For the future of the Romanians, adaptability could represent a ’double-edged sword’ as it virtually contained both the potential of progress, and that of decadence.

THE INTERSUBJECTIVITY IN THE SECOND PERSON PROSE : MIHAI ZAMFIR - LATE EDUCATION

INTERSUBIECTIVITATEA ÎN PROZA LA PERSOANA A DOUA: MIHAI ZAMFIR - EDUCAŢIE TÂRZIE

Author(s): Lucian Dumitru Băiceanu / Language(s): / Issue: 02/2015

Keywords: second person prose; intersubjectivity; narative-You

This article focuses on the novel of Mihai Zamfir, Late Education, seeking as main aspect the inclusion of the text in the second person prose. Two major issues are followed during the undertaken analysis: the quality of the person and the intersubjectivity process. The text uses the narrative perspective specific for the narrative-You: a narrator speaks of himself using the second person, making use of a certain distance in relation with his acts and his thoughts, were the „I” is transformed into „YOU”. It produces a complex process of intersubjectivity: a indeterminate and multiple mixture of subjectivity between the narrator, the narrative and the protagonist. All narrative instances are interdependent and become a closed system, but sometimes suffer from a "fragile intersubjectivity". So, this article demonstrates and analyzes the way in which the intersubjectivity process takes place and act in the novel of Mihai Zamfir, a Romanian innovator text.

An Eulogy for an Awake Spirit. The Historian Mihai Cojocaru (1929-2011)

Pavană pentru un spirit de veghe. Istoricul Mihai Cojocaru (1929-2011)

Author(s): Virgil Nistru Țigănuș / Language(s): Romanian,Romany / Issue: 1/2011

Keywords: Mihai Cojocaru; teacher; history; biography; spirituality

The history teacher Mihai Cojocaru, born in the region of Hotin, represented a living witness of the Romanian realities from both banks of the Prut River. In his books (The Human Sacrifice, God’s Kingdom, Problems of Contemporary History, Politics and Truth) and in the great number of courses and lectures held by him, we can take notice of his vast culture, of some immortal Christian values and of the silent fight of the Romanians, against lie. We can also find reflections on the role of hope, faith and Romanian spirituality.

Mihai Eminescu and his Observations on the Romanian Transylvanians Language Constantin-Ioan MLADIN

Mihai Eminescu şi observaţiunile sale asupra limbii ardelenilor

Author(s): Adrian Chircu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2015

Keywords: Romanian language; diachrony; Latinity; etymologism; linguistic variation; linguistic contact; diatopy; synchrony in diachrony

By our contribution, we undertake to explore, from a linguistic perspective, some of Mihai Eminescu’s texts recently inserted in the volume Sfântul pământ al Transilvaniei; this helps us understand both the linguistic debates of that time and the objections raised to Transylvanian scholars, who contributed substantially to the way of the Romanian language towards modernity. Throughout the years, texts have been discussed especially by literary historians; however, revealing the ideas of the text has been less approached in the studies or articles on Romanian linguistics. By exploiting such (micro)texts, we propose to come upon those ideas of Mihai Eminescu’s works that mainly illustrate his contributions to defending and exemplifying the Romanian language.

The creation of the national language in the 19th century in Mihai Eminescu's vision

Crearea limbii naţionale ȋn secolul al XIX-lea ȋn viziunea lui Mihai Eminescu

Author(s): Petra Denisa Tcacenco / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 3/2016

Keywords: Romanian literary language; nineteenth century; Mihai Eminescu

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the Romanian literary language creation in the nineteenth century theoretised by the national poet Mihai Eminescu. Precisely, we intended to focus on his ideas about the language formation and for this reason we studied the journalistic texts of the Academic edition in which he formulates opinions on this matter. Eminescu the journalist gives personal views on the elements that should be preserved in the Romanian idiom and, also, critics rough the contemporaries that have not managed yet to unify it. The language plays an important role in the process of Eminescu poems creation too. He demonstrates it throughout his poetry, from the beginnings of it, when he writes in the manner of his predecessors, but not copying them, instead, deconstructing the poetic material, discharging the words of their clichéd expression, revealing them new semnifications until his lasts poems where he forces the language to follow the strict rules of the antic meter. His theoretical ideas regarding the formation of literary language, important, though less known, contributed to the struggle of creating the national idiom in the epoch. Therefore, he believes that the evolution of language is essential for the growing of literature and that the writers have an essential function in the relation between the two of them. The reason is because language, being the autors instrument of writing, is improved in the artistic act. Also, the Romanian language is, in his opinion, a treasure left by our ancestors, the old men who, in their naivety, create an harmonious and beautiful idiom back in the seventeenth century. We can see, thus, how the poet sight turns mostly to the past, worshipping a language that existed in that time, heterogeneous as it was, while he negates the present, criticising the coevals of his epoch for ruining the old idiom. The main reason behind his attack is the appearance of the new language spoken by them, an idiom, as the poet affirms, denaturized by French elements, transformed into an artificial language, which does not reflect anymore the Romanian identity. The way Eminescu reacts to this situation and the remedies proposed are to be analyzed in this paper.

A CRITICAL APPROACH TO THE TEXT OF THE ABDICATION OF KING MIHAI I OF ROMANIA

A CRITICAL APPROACH TO THE TEXT OF THE ABDICATION OF KING MIHAI I OF ROMANIA

Author(s): Marina-Cristiana Rotaru / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2013

Keywords: discourse; modality; discursive event; modality; ‘royal archive’

The aim of this article is to prove, from a linguistic point of view, that the text of the abdication instrument of King Mihai I was not written by the king, but by a group of communist Romanian representatives, acting under Moscow’s direct orders. Language use, the aim of critical discourse analysis allows the revelation of diverse processes at text level that reflect larger social phenomena. These mechanisms at text level are not always decipherable with the naked eye. The manner in which language is used in the abdication instrument of King Mihai underlines the fact that whoever wrote the document did not respect the traditional peculiarities of such a text, as illustrated by numerous examples of other similar texts which form the so-called “royal archive”.

Mihai Drăgănescu, a Romanian priority: the informational cosmology versus the holographic universe

Mihai Drăgănescu, o prioritate românească: cosmologia informaţională versus universul holografic

Author(s): Gorun MANOLESCU / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2017

Keywords: Informational-Ontological Model; Holographic Universe; black hole; Big Bang; Hawking Radiation; Black Hole War;

Is there a hidden reality that governs our Universe ? Wheeler, Bekenstein, Susskind, and ‘t Hoft, all of them renowned physicists,the latter being a Nobel laureate, sustain this concept. It is about a theory, recently set out by the four physicists mentioned before, the so - called Theory of the Holographic Universe that puts the information in the first place. Today, this theory is accepted by a group of physicists that is growing steadily, and that studies the String Theories. First, Stephen Hawking predicted that the „black holes”, which seemed to be swallowing everything, were manifesting their presence by emitting radiation with an extremely low temperature. If a black hole can evaporate, a most portion of the information it contains is lost forever, said Hawking.Later on, it was the turn of Leonard Susskind, one of String Theories’ founder, and ‘t Hoft, both of them working under Wheeler’s guidance, to state that Hawking radiation emitted by a black hole represents the support, material substratum that delivers information related to what is happening in such a hole. This information remains on the surface of a universe that is created through a Big Bang by that black hole (Bekenstein, Susskin, ’t Hoft). And, as a laser beam that passes through bi-dimensional symbols on a transparent surface will generate a tri-dimensional hologram, in the same way the information on the surface of a universe such as ours will generate, in an adequate way, within it, all tri-dimensional entities inside the universe.Juan Maldacena formalized this theory with an audacious mathematical conjecture. Briefly, here is the story of the „Holographic Universe”. The most important fact for us is that Mihai Drăgănescu's Ontological-Informational Model -very similar but not identical with the Holographic Universe Model- was formalized before the last one. And according to Drăgănescu's approach, the Theory of the Holographic Universe may be considered a particular case of the Ontological-Informational Modelas you will see in this paper later on.

The composer Nicolae Bretan and his creation of lieder on Mihai Eminescu poetry

The composer Nicolae Bretan and his creation of lieder on Mihai Eminescu poetry

Author(s): Nicoleta Mihaela Ardelean / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

Keywords: vocal music; lied; interpretation; voice;

Nicolae Bretan, composer who wrote over 230 lieder, ordinary at first sight, without too many moments of virtuosity, but which spread a state of mind dominated by a deep sense of humanism, has been lately rediscovered, by both the critics and especially by the interpreters. His musical language was inspired and sustained by the poems of Mihai Eminescu, Victor Eftimiu and Lucian Blaga, but also by those of Reiner Maria Rilke, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe or Petöffy Sandor.The interpreter's mission is to touch the audience's hearts, through text and music, a first step being precisely decoding the two languages, because the moment of creation does not end with completing the lied by the composer, but shapes up and becomes vocal with its usage. If the vocal execution is inadequate, the so called musical values remain either unexpressed or misunderstood.

The first article about Eminescu in Hungarian is actually an obituary appeared in the newspaper „Plain” in Arad. We can remark that after 1989 nothing was written or translated about Mihai Eminescu and this may represent an alarm signal.

Keywords: Subject history; university professor Nicolae Constantinescu; Romanian ethnological science; "Mihai Pop School";

Vorliegende Studie ist Professor Nicolae Constantinescu zu seinem 80. Geburtstag gewidmet. Der Bukarester Universitätsprofessor zeichnet sich im Bewusstsein der heutigen Generationen rumänischer Ethnologen zweifelsohne durch seine universitäre Bildung unter der Schirmherrschaft der sogenannten „Mihai Pop-Schule” aus, einer Schule, die sich seit den 1960er Jahren der lebendigen Realität gegenüber in ihrer ganzen Dynamik öffnete. Als Hochschulassistent und später Lehrstuhlnachfolger seines Magisters war Nicolae Constantinescu unter seinen Fachkollegen derjenige, in dessen Adern sich der innovative Geist dieser Schule am tiefsten geprägt hat. Durch diesen Geist erneuerte die genannte Schule nämlich die Landschaft der rumänischen ethnologischen Wissenschaft und verdiente somit ihren Platz in der Fachgeschichte, nicht nur bei uns, sondern auch auswärts.

“Mihai Viteazul” High School – the first Romanian state high school in Transylvania

Liceul „Mihai Viteazul” – primul liceu românesc de stat din Transilvania

Author(s): Ionela Simona Mircea / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: XXVII/2022

Keywords: education; high school; school; Transylvania; interwar;

The Romanian state high school, came to the support of Romanians eager to lean, offering a classical, theoretical, quality education. The teaching staff was formed, with few exceptions, of Romanian teachers with various specialties. If at the beginning there were cases of teachers who did not know the language Romanian very well, an aspect highlighted in various inspection reports, along the way the situation was regulated. High school quickly became an important factor in the Romanianization process.It was attended, with very few exceptions, by Orthodox (the majority) and Greek‑Catholic Romanian students, coming from all walks of life (predominantly from intellectual and farmers families). Most of them were students from Alba Iulia and the villages around the city, but they also came from other areas of the country, attracted by the prestige of the city (The City of the Great Union, the City of Coronation) and of the high school.Despite the extremely difficult beginning, due to the lack of a stable headquarters and of a material base, the teachers understood their purpose by filling these gaps with enthusiasm, intelligence and ingenuity, making their students disciples, training them not only in everyday schoolwork but also in extracurricular activities. In the classroom and beyond the classroom, the teacher remained a character‑building coach. The large share of history and literature books in the library proves the emphasis placed on these subjects understood as particularly important in the formation of national consciousness. The purpose of the Romanian teacher was to offer to the student, firstly, access to education, to the Romanian spirituality, helping him to know his own national identity, and secondly to the universal spirituality, helping him to integrate into it with the specificity of his Romanian soul.

The relation between phenomenology and metaphysics in Mihai Șora’s thought

Relația dintre fenomenologie și metafizică în gândirea lui Mihai Șora

Author(s): Victor Eugen Gelan / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 18/2022

Keywords: existence; in-sistence; phenomenology; metaphysics;

According to Mihai Șora’s theory/philosophical stance, every in­quiry into the relation between phenomenology and metaphysics must start first from the clarification of the notions of existence and in-sistence. If, according to the existentialist phenomenology, existence sends to the fact of being situated in the exterior of your inner self (as Heidegger would put it that is being thrown out ahead in your exis­tential projects), in-sistence is, in Șora’s view, a way of being centered upon yourself, i.e. lying entirely in your own self. For Heidegger, the essence of the Dassein consists in the Dassein’s existence. For Șora, the integral existential project of man, being made of the man’s totality of existential acts, does not come out from the mode of existence (as interpreted by Heidegger), but rather resides in the in-sistence’s mode. The passage from existence to in-sistence marks here a leap from phenomenology to a sort of meta­physics which nonetheless does not cancel out the phenomenological inquiry, but rather attempts at integrating the latter in a broader and more comprehensive theory of being and grounding. The result of this analysis would be that phenomenology and metaphys­ics are in truth two complementary domains, and not two opposed approaches in philosophy.
