    READER-RESPONSE THEORIES. CONCEPTUAL AND TERMINOLOGICAL DELIMITATIONS
    (2020) Dementieva, Diana
    Abstract: The theoretical segment that refers to the phenomenon of receiving the artistic literature, more specifically the field interested in the concepts of reading and reader, is characterized by a deep indeterminacy, multiple confusions and terminological overlaps. All this is due to the polysemy of the notions with which it operates, the lack of a globalizing and fundamental explanatory study, as well as due to the large number of schools, research perspectives, theories, hypotheses, methods, approaches that have self-propelled parallel, successively or deductively. throughout the last century. Also, this self- reflexive dimension of anti-intentional hermeneutics is extremely vast and complex with an inter- and multidisciplinary specificity. The basic disciplines, but also directions derived from them, which approach and define the concepts of reading, reception, reader are: history and literary criticism, hermeneutics, pragmatics, rhetoric, poetry, communication sciences, sociology of literature, sociocriticism, psychology of literature , psychoanalysis, psychocritics, semiotics, linguistics, dialogism, aesthetics. Thus, a research in this sense would clarify many drawbacks of studies on the concept of literary reading. The approach proposes a re-inventory of all concepts related to the act of reading and its agent - the reader, as well as a delimitation and a clarification of them using several dictionaries of literary theory and by updating the most important theoretical studies on this topic appeared during the twentieth century.

    ERARY RECEPTION: A PROCEDURAL PHENOMENON
    (2020) Dementieva, Diana
    Abstract: The communication refers to the phenomenon of literary reception and its procedural character. A foray into the history of the concept of ”reception” ensures a better understanding of the given field. The evolution of the idea of literary reception is conditioned by the way in which it was perceived and, respectively, explained the literary art in general. So, this term involves features conditioned by the numerous ways of conceptualizing the literary work. Reviewing the ways of existence of the literary work identifies the factors and difficulties that determined the impossibility of conducting a fundamental study of literature from the perspective of the reader. It also justifies the absence of a unique theory of reading. No ideal boundaries are reached between reception theories and reading theories, but it can be seen with certainty that text-oriented theories are associated with reading theories, and those oriented towards the reading process and the sum of ”answers” of empirical readers make up reception theories. Therefore, the act of reading is a stage in the process of reception. No boundary can be put between the reading activity and the reception activity; they are complementary. The literary reception phenomenon consists of several stages and levels. The procedural character of the act of reading is determined by the temorality of the literary work.

    TEORII ALE LECTURII ȘI TEORII ALE RECEPTĂRII: DOUĂ CONSTANTE ALE METATEORIEI LECTURII
    (2021) Dementieva, Diana
    The twentieth century was marked by numerous metamorphoses in the field of humanities and beyond. The article is meant to be a foray into the history of research of the twentieth century, thereby offering enough clues to understand how the new principles of literary science have been articulated. Specifically, the theoretical study of the phenomenon of literary reception represent the sphere of interest of the given approach. The aim is to analyze metamorphoses and create a picture of the “metatheory of reading”, a heterogeneous dimension that emerged in the second half of the twentieth century as a self-reflective discourse in the field of reading theory. It is also intended to establish some conceptual and terminological delimitations of prime importance in the study of the literary work from the perspective of the reader. Starting with the second half of the last century, the reader becomes the most privileged instance in the process of literary communication, which has led to an increase in the number of studies on reading and the reader. In fact, the reader has always been an essential factor in the realization of the literary phenomenon; it gives meaningful content to the set of signs and codes, becoming the coauthor of the work. Literary creation can only manifest its existence through an act of reading. The theories about the reader follow the classical division: the intrinsic and the extrinsic approach. As a result, there are two ramifications of reading metatheory: theories of reading and theories of reception. First category deal with intratextual instances, especially the ideal reader, a textual strategy, and explain how the text programs reading. The second one study the intratextual instances, especially the real reader and his answer to the text, the way in which the concrete reader influences the formation of the literary message. Aiming at the conceptualization of the same instance of literary communication, these categories, however, look at the reader from different angles, inside the text or outside it, which creates difficulties in the field of reading, both theoretically and practically.
