    Problematica teatralității în romanele lui Camil Petrescu [Articol]
    (CEP USM, 2021) Fărmuș, Ioan
    This article is focused on Camil Petrescu’s transition from theatre to prose writing, a transition that came as a consequence of a big failure in his theatre career, one that will haunt him for the rest of his life: the failure of what may be seen as some minor play, Mioara. In fact, he will return again and again to this episode of his life, as he felt that the press campaign that followed it attempted to destroy his reputation as a writer of drama and his legitimacy as a theatre theoretician. The result of all there is a fracture in his vision that makes him abandon the love of his life (the theatre) and embrace prose writing, a scriptural space much more fit for his growing radical individualism.

    Conștiința etnică identitară. Supraviețuirea prin cuvânt în volumul Trotineta lui Edi de Bedros Horasangian [Articol]
    (CEP USM, 2021) Epatov, Maria
    In our paper we will focus on one of the less approached aspects of literary criticism, that of the Armenian ethnic identity. We aim at identifying aspects of the ethnic components and analyzing how the Armenian ethnic consciousness influences the way Bedros Horasangian writes. Is his ethnicity relevant? And if so, are there direct marks or does the idea of belonging to an ethnic minority manifest itself vaguely? Moreover, for whom does Bedros Horasangian write? For Armenians, for Romanians, or is it a unitary discourse, addressable to anyone and anytime, given that the message of his texts aims at the depths of human nature? Here are just a few questions that we will strive to find an answer to in our analysis.

    Identitățile multiple în transformarea lumii literare. Elif Șafak [Articol]
    (CEP USM, 2021) Dodu-Savca, Carolina
    Three questions will always remain − as we tend to believe today − at the top of the list: who are we? where do we come from? where are we going? In the society-of-the “present,” the question “Where are we going?” seems to be more important than the question “Where are we coming from?” Respectively, we intend to scan quickly the problem of multiple identities in the transformations of the human Identity related to the social and literary present. From this point of view, Elif Shafak’s polyphonic writing shows the contrasting aspects of identity’s multiplicity. In Shafak’s works we discover the complexity of a (meta)literary debate about the freedom of speech, values-non-values/or and the new family values, waves of migration, various dimensions of exile, human rights (declared, demanded, obtained, respected, violated, claimed, regained, reformed, etc.), depression (conditioned, unconditional), and the crisis of identity. Why Elif Shafak? We chose this author for her bold, honest, insightful speech on identities that generate and illustrate the transformation both in the field of literary reflection and in her social and personal life. She is one of the most expressive voices in the public space and the most consistent presence in contemporary writing. She is a personality that represents her epoch in multiple ways, at the geocultural crossroads of the Western-Eastern models, at the cultural-anthropological interference of the femininity-masculinity entities, and at the geo-historical intersection of two millennia. Shafak correlates the problems of urgency of the present being and the hyperconnectivity of individuals with the crisis of the identity in the Age of Division.

    Spiritualite(s) et ecriture postmoderne dans le roman francophone [Articol]
    (CEP USM, 2021) Diop, Cheikh Mouhamadou Soumoune; Baldé, Mamadou Lamine
    Spirituality, which refers to the religious expression of “spiritual life” or, in a general sense, to the feeling (to the very conviction) of being inhabited by “someone other than oneself”, or at least, to the consciousness of limits of the “me”, is enough evocated and studied in the contemporary francophone novel. She is the deep source of the anguish of the main character in L’Aventure ambiguë (1961) of Cheikh Hamidou Kane, the object of the young hero’s lust in Laurent Owondo’s Au Bout du silence, the refuge of the protagonists in La Nuit sacrée or L’enfant de sable of Tahar Ben Jelloun. It is therefore inseparable from the notion of quest which traditionally defines the trajectory of the subject in the novel. However, postmodern trends of this genre being marked by discontinuity, renarrativation, hypertextuality, thematic treatment as well as the style of writing are transformed. Thus, we want to show, with the works of francophone writers (see corpus), how the heterogeneity of the spiritualities present in their novel testifies to a major transformation of literature in the 21st century. It would therefore be interesting to study this literary revolution in a transdisciplinary approach, through the prism of theories of the imagination, narratology and postmodernism.
