Bartholomew Valeriu Anania - A Page of history and writen theology, in Cluj

Bartolomeu Valeriu Anania - o pagină de istorie şi teologie scrisă, la Cluj

Author(s): Stelian Tofană / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 01/2011

Keywords: Bible; critical edition; hermeneutics; isagogics; theology

The Word embodied in the eternal Letter of the Bible, translated and adapted by restless hierarch Bartolomeu Valeriu Anania, gives endless spiritual food for this people`s heart and thought in the form of a spiritual banquet where no one is invited but many attend. Thus, we (especially in Cluj) have been privileged to witness the publishing of the Bible with his name on it and be contemporary with one of the cultural and spiritual monuments in our history: a new "translation" of the Bible, a book that has been the fundament for the formation during history of civilizations, cultures, peoples. As an illustration of the above, I insist on the idea of necessity for a new critical edition of the Bible in Romanian, an idea that suggested the thoughts above, as well as on the novelty feature of such interests, insuring the monumentality of this work.

"Cerurile Oltului" - An Interdisciplinary Essay By Bartolomeu Valeriu Anania (1990)

„Cerurile Oltului” – eseu interdisciplinar de Bartolomeu Valeriu Anania (1990)

Author(s): Lucian Vasile Bâgiu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2009

Keywords: church; Philology; icon; History; Theology

“Cerurile Oltului” (The Skies of the Olt) (1990) is an expression of the author’s interdisciplinary erudition in the embodiment of a very original essay of cultural polyphony. The common ways of art and theology reunite in a universe specific for both of them, a universe of the interdependence of the sacred ad the profane. Both the technique of Plato’s dialogue (this type of dialogue being specific for the patristic discourse) as well as the relaxation of the discourse through the appeal to different “literalised” commentaries or through completing the elevated subject with “profane” information, are the factors which ensure an opening and an accessibility highly superior to a scientific treatise; they enlarge the expectations of he to whom the discourse addresses. Eventually, the aesthetic emotion is granted not by the subject itself approached by Bartolomeu, but by the modality in which it is presented, by the shape of the discourse proposed by Anania. What determines the tonality specific for the essayistic discourse is related to the unlimited love the author feels for the national specificity. The common link for all the topics approached in the volume is tradition. Bartolomeu proves not only an expert in presenting the characteristics of the Brâncovenesc style, but manages, starting from them, to formulate a theory of culture and civilisation which recalls the authentic traditionalism but also the understanding of the affirmation of the national creating specificity through the concepts of synchronism (Eugen Lovinescu), adaptation (Mihai Ralea) and organic development (Lucian Blaga), in a silent and probable involuntary consensus with the opinions of the above mentioned intellectuals. Bartolomeu states the iconographer’s status as creator and implicitly his placing in a dimension similar to Manole’s, for example. Were we to relate to the theory of the aesthetic value, we should have to mention the fact that for Bartolomeu, the icon is seen both religiously and artistically, which is the maximum compromise his status as a theologian could admit. The small treaty of general aesthetics in the vision of a theologian, with its asperities, contradictions and ingenuities, expresses nevertheless the essayist’s interest in the depiction of the artistic side of iconography, even if he inherently appeals to religious dogma. We meet an argumentation of the paradox, according to which the absolute creating freedom and the artistic originality can manifest and express themselves only within norms and canons. According to this syllogism, which is not far from sophism, the greatest liberty of creation is performed by the artists who are most framed by the external theoretical factors; so, from this point of view, the Byzantine art would be the proper background for the original accomplishment of plastic art masterpieces.

Terminology Continuity and Discontinuity in Language Science

TERMINOLOGISCHE KONTINUITÄTEN UND DISKONTINUITÄTEN IN DER SPRACHWISSENSCHAFT: MOESCHLER, MUNTEANU, COSERIU

Author(s): Nadia Păcurari / Language(s): German / Issue: 4/2006

Terminological continuities and discontinuities in linguistics: Moeschler, Munteanu, Coseriu. Linguistics is a matter which more and more arouses the interest of the foreign and Romanian scholars. The first half of the twentieth century represented the age of phonology, the second half of the same century was the time of semantics and the last three decades are the age of pragmatics. The present study aims to examine the way three linguists – Moeschler, Munteanu and Coseriu – deal with linguistics, each of them being the author of an introduction to this field. The perspective they generally assume is a diachronic one, with emphasis on the linguistics of the twentieth century, which obviously contains the most important theories.

AN ETHNOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE ON VALERIU ANANIA’S STORY PASĂREA MĂIASTRĂ

AN ETHNOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE ON VALERIU ANANIA’S STORY PASĂREA MĂIASTRĂ

Author(s): Cosmina TIMOCE-MOCANU / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2014

Keywords: Valeriu Anania; The Memories of the Wingless Pilgrim; The Magic Bird; folkloric sources; Polovragi monastery; Saint Chrisopher-“Dog–headed saint”; ATh. 550.

Unlike some of his contemporary peers, men of letters or theologians, Valeriu Anania did not research folklore systematically, even if, as we can see in his Memoirs, the recording of folklore seems to have piqued his interest at some point. In the following pages our objective is to analyse the novella Pasărea Măiastră [The Magic Bird] from the perspective of its possible folkloric sources. The major intention of the novella is, in our opinion, the approximation of the place occupied by pre-Christian motifs/themes/characters in a Christian world.

AN ETHNOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE ON VALERIU ANANIA’S STORY PASĂREA MĂIASTRĂ

VALERIU ANANIA – PASĂREA MĂIASTRĂ. O LECTURĂ ETNOLOGICĂ

Author(s): Cosmina TIMOCE-MOCANU / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2/2014

Keywords: Valeriu Anania; Amintirile peregrinului apter; Pasărea măiastră; surse folclorice; mănăstirea Polovragi; Sfântul Hristofor – „Sfântul-cu-cap-de-câine”; ATh. 550.

Spre deosebire de alți colegi de breaslă ai săi, literați sau teologi, care i-au fost contemporani, Valeriu Anania nu a avut preocupări sistematice de cercetare a folclorului, chiar dacă, așa cum rezultă din Memorii, înregistrarea acestuia pare să-l fi interesat la un moment dat. Îmi propun în cele ce urmează analiza nuvelei Pasărea măiastră din perspectiva posibilelor sale surse folclorice. Aproximarea locului pe care motive/ teme/ legende precreștine îl ocupă/ îl pot ocupa într-o lume creștină constituie, în opinia mea, o miză majoră a textului pe care îl discut.

MIORIȚA BY VALERIU ANANIA: DRAMATIZATION AND RE-SYMBOLIZATION OF A NATIONAL MYTH

MIORIȚA BY VALERIU ANANIA: DRAMATIZATION AND RE-SYMBOLIZATION OF A NATIONAL MYTH

Author(s): Cristina Elena Safta / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2017

Keywords: Myth; Spirituality; Culture; Religion; Christianity; Ballad; Dramaturgy

A rewritten myth can be an original creation updated to resemble the spiritual evolution of a certain culture, one that re-states and re-interprets the centrul generator (Todoran 1983: 13). Taking into consideration the concept which enforces the idea that the individuality of a nation is also defined by its attitude towards existence, we can admit that Mioriţa expresses the cultural Romanian archetype. Folkloric ballads could be perceived as a thesaurus of myths that hand down to future generation the core of history that is usually encapsulated in each of them, while their rewriting – in this case, the dramatization of a ballad about pastoral life. To some extent, we might consider the refurbished ballad as being a renewed instrument supporting the spiritual needs of the contemporary culture. Although there are numerous versions of the original ballad, Mioriţa (The Ewe Lamb), within the Romanian folklore they all express the unaltered essence in a poetic manner: the Moldavian shepherd’s sacrificial attitude, his peaceful view on death. The shepherd dies calmly, ascending into his cosmic wedding, as narrated by the ballad, while Anania’s shepherd leaves an heir, implying that death is but a new life. Mioriţa, the dramatic poem, retraces the essential element of the archaic ballad, preserving the original conception regarding life and death, death being a serene integration into nature, resembling the ending and beginning of the natural cycle (Anania 2007: 230), a trespass into illo tempore.

CANONUL LITERAR FEMININ DIN VOIVODINA – ILEANA URSU, FELICIA MARINA MUNTEANU ȘI MĂRIOARA BABA

Author(s): Virginia Popović / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 03/2018

Keywords: limbaj poetic; Ileana Ursu; Felicia Marina Munteanu; Mărioara Baba; discurs poetic; canon;

În lucrarea de față ne-am propus să cercetăm limbajul poetic canonului literar feminin din Voivodina. Prin analiza poeziei celor trei poete, a Ileanei Ursu, Felicia Marina Munteau și a Mărioarei Baba, am încercat să pătrundem în structura versului care oscilează între paradigma literară a anilor '70 şi cea a optzeciştilor, marcând o etapă distinctă în evoluţia liricii feminine din Banatul sârbesc. Descoperim în poezia lor un univers liric dezbrăcat de lirismul vieţii, un discurs poetic existenţial impresionant. Discursul lor poetic este construit pe viziuni inedite, care gravitează în jurul a trei mari teme: sentimentul erosului şi erosul exploziv ca formă de descătuşare a energiilor; greutatea cuvântului şi limbajul poetic; realul cotidian şi destinul fiinţei umane în pragul mileniului trei. De la primele până la ultimele volume ale lor, suntem surprinşi de un discurs liric modern, un eu poetic neliniştit prin punerea în oglindă a timpului şi a spaţiului de acum şi de demult. Cele trei poete din Voivodina scriu versuri pline de seriozitate și sensibilitate, iar poezia lor devine treptat un dialog despre realitatea imediată.

Păstorul Martir: Liviu Galaction Munteanu (1898-1961). Preocupările biblice și relevanța lor în cadrul teologiei pastorale românești

Author(s): Lucian Greabu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 01/2020

Keywords: Christ; Church; priest; pastoral; mission; catechesis; parish; faithful;

After the establishment of the communist regime in Romania, between State and Church held a deaf war and personality of priest professor Dr. Liviu Galaction Munteanu was essential in terms of counteraction the Marxist-Leninist ideology. As an officiating priest and refined theologian, „time and timeless” (2 Tim. 4, 2), father professor was an testimony by word and deed, always remaining believers that they shepherded and students, by the great role that is keeping the Orthodox faith: „Theology must be aware of the great role they should play in people`s life”. He emphasised the importance of theological training of priest as witnesses, in an age in which the Church should be more present among people, to the “roller” totalitarian communist, aiming at creating “new man” through propaganda scientific-materialistic, atheistic. In this context, the only solution was establishment of a program of catechesis, working through priests in every parish. Catechesis has not been done, Father intention being considered “hostile” by the state bodies. His entire life was dedicated word, that ministered to Christ, the divine Logos incarnate. By his exhortations clergy aware of the importance of the mission given to each priest an solidarity with the faithful. His actions also presents itself as a real priest who was aware of his mission responsibility.

Valeriu Anania’s poetry - a synthesis of philosophical and mythical language

Poezia lui Valeriu (Bartolomeu) Anania – sinteză a limbajului filosofic şi mitic

Author(s): Constantin Petrea / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 08/2016

Keywords: Valeriu Anania; poetry; religious poetry; myth; Anamneze; symbolic elements; word;

The present paper analyses the volume “Anamneze”, especially the poems which bare this title, and it tries to prove that Valeriu Anania’s poetry is neither one belonging to a predictable (monotonous) religious writer nor a transposition with no artistic value of some symbolic elements of Christian origin, but a rewriting of a lyrical, philosophical and mythical universe with countless symbolic interpretations. That is why the study does not exclude the religious aspect from the poetry of the author, but it considers this component only a starting point of his creation, destined to reveal the fact that poems are limitations, embodiments of a sensitive artistic universe which have a meaning belonging not only to Christianity, but to any form of spiritual existence. The entire lyrical universe rests on the symbol of the word, with its double meaning - divine and spiritual, which integrates all the other elements creating a mythical world that can be absorbed through the call to eternity, coming back to the Self, to the primordial elements of existence.

Moral regeneration of the individual and of the nation as seen by Metropolitan Bartolomeu Valeriu Anania

Regenerarea morală a persoanei şi a neamului în concepţia mitropolitului Bartolomeu Valeriu Anania

Author(s): Stefan Iloaie / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 03/2015

Keywords: Bartolomeu Valeriu Anania; church; nation; moral renewal;

The text illustrates a part of the vision of former Archbishop and Metropolitan of Cluj on the relationship between the Church and the nation and on the need for moral renewal of the nation, aspects that can be considered true spiritual testament.Servant of God and man of culture, Bartolomeu Valeriu Anania was deeply concerned, throughout his entire life, about the great issues of the Church, but also about those of the nation. He believed in the existence of a destiny of the Romanian people, being always preoccupied with its search and affirmation. The same belief led him to translate Romanian mythology into theater in order to emphasize the indissoluble link between Church and people, between cult and culture, between the specific characteristics of our Christianity and of our people, but also to rectify/review – for his people – the full text of the Bible. He advocated for the accurate preservation of our own values and the careful, filtered and cautious acceptance of the so-called “European values”, pointing out that they come from a Europe built solely on economics and politics and lacking true culture and– all the more – religion. Metropolitan Bartolomeu spoke and wrote very often about the need for renewal, for “revigoration” of the people, achieved through moral regeneration of the person and especially of the youth.

Discovering music cryptograms in the works of Viorel Munteanu through computer aided methods

Descoperirea melogramelor din creația compozitorului Viorel Munteanu cu ajutorul metodelor digitale

Author(s): Mihaela Rusu,CIPRIAN COSTIN / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 23/2021

Keywords: melogramă; analiză digitală; Simfonia I; Glossă; Viorel Munteanu;

Prin acest demers analitic dorim să demonstrăm conexiunea dintre muzică și tehnologie, aplicată creației compozitorului Viorel Munteanu. În acest studiu dorim să identificăm și să analizăm melogramele din Simfonia I „Glossă”, utilizând mijloace de analiză muzicală digitale. Viorel Munteanu este un compozitor modern, avangardist, dar cu tendința de a reînvia trecutul. În creația sa, compozitorul folosește teme folclorice și intonații bizantine, prin care evocă personalități ale culturii române. În Simfonia I „Glossă” compozitorul utilizează melograma poetului Mihai Eminescu și a compozitorului George Enescu, aceste structuri având rol tematic prin transformarea lor în motive ciclice. Pentru ilustrarea grafică a melogramelor vom utiliza librăria digitală LibRosa, iar pentru identificarea melogramelor vom utiliza un soft muzical care are rolul de a identifica aceste structuri din partitura în format MIDI. De asemenea, vom analiza funcțiile retorice ale melogramelor și rolul acestora în configurarea arhitecturii sonore generale.

Memories or the Book of Self-Definition of the Scholar Valeriu (Bartolomeu) Anania

„Memoriile” sau cartea autodefinirii omului de cultură Valeriu (Bartolomeu) Anania

Author(s): Carmen-Maria Bolocan,Pavel Lungu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 9-12/2021

Keywords: memories; self-definition; autobiography; fiction; reality; discourse;

Our study wishes to emphasize, as much as the text allowed us, the contribution of His Eminence Archbishop Bartolomeu to the development of the memorialistic genre, on the one hand, and the perspective fiction-reality of the events presented in these Memories. This book, Memories, constitutes, with no exaggeration, the “calling card” of the scholar Valeriu (Bartolomeu) Anania. In it the author establishes a parallel between his personal history and the social one, between diachrony and synchrony, it is a work of rediscovery and re-reading from the inside of the events yet placed under the uncertainty of signs. Synchronization with history is not the focus here, but a synchronization with himself, a subordination to his own conscience and not the adaptability to the artificial rules of society. History must not be looked for within the pages of this book, but the sensitive man, Valeriu (Bartolomeu) Anania.

Philosophers and sibyls under the Heavens of the Olt (Cerurile Oltului) by Bartolomeu Valeriu Anania

Filosofi şi sibile sub Cerurile Oltului lui Bartolomeu Valeriu Anania

Author(s): Ştefan Zară / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 02/2022

Keywords: Metropolitan Bartolomeu Anania; The Heavens of the Olt; Hermeneia of the Painting Art; Sibyls; ancient Greek philosophers;

The Metropolitan Bartolomeu of Cluj, an interpreter in spirit and letter of God`s Word, depicted for us the Heavens of Orthodoxy, which means that he unraveled the mysteries of Orthodox spirituality. In this demarche for revealing the mysteries of Orthodoxy, his monumental work, The Heavens of the Olt: Archimandrite Bartholomew’s Scholia to a Series of Photographs, is also included. Beyond the aesthetic beauty of the ecclesial space and the icons, in the Heavens of the Olt, Bartolomeu Anania reveals to the reader the Beauty Beyond that is reflected in them, not so much as a radiant reflection, but as an inner bond of grace. The spirituality of The Heavens of the Olt is, in fact, a philocalic spirituality.

Valeriu Anania, a Christian perspective on Eminescu’s poem Luceafărul

Valeriu Anania, o perspectivă creştină asupra Luceafărului eminescian

Author(s): Ioan Şt. Lazăr / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 04/2022

Keywords: Mihai Eminescu; Valeriu Anania; Christianity; Luceafărul; genius; Logos;

The present study outlines the Christian touch in Eminescu’s creation, according to the writer Valeriu Anania’s analyzes. It is generally considered that Mihai Eminescu’s poetic work is marked by the overwhelming influence of Kant’s philosophy, Schopenhauer’s pessimism and oriental cosmogonies, an aspect which is also admited by the writer Valeriu Anania. However, he also states that, although Eminescu did not openly claim to be a militant christian, it is known that he received a religious education from his parents as a child, that he had several monks in his family and he was very familiar with the Bible as well as old church books and manuscripts. Eminescu had a deep Christian sensibility acquired from his childhood and from all the Christian books he read and to which he will return especially in the last part of his troubled life. Valeriu Anania highlights, in Eminescu’s work, the singular condition of the genius which, gifted from above with superior qualities, carries within, analogously, a Christic destiny: to love people to the point of self-sacrifice and receive from them the frustration of love, to be ephemeral on earth and eternal in heaven. Without the intention and pretension to “Christianize” the message of the poem “Luceafărul”, Valeriu Anania reveals a source of Eminescu’s inspiration in the Christian universe. Like other great writers in the world, Eminescu found in the Christian universe a golden vein for his great poetry.
