(Neo)modernism în rupturi rizomice

This article exposes theses on the Eminescian model as the irradiating center of the Romanian literary canon. The poetry of the 60s and 80s of Bessarabia is conceived as ,rupture with the dogmas of socialist realism and a return to the models Arghezi, Blaga, Bacovia, Barbu. Neomodernism, through rhysome ruptures, has a decisive impact on the metamorphoses of sixty/seventy poetry. The testing of aesthetics produces a change in the concept of poeticity, a mutation from the ardent east-ethics of the generation of Grigore Vieru and Liviu Damian to the aesthetic „liberated from sentimentality”, to the poetry of the imaginary, of the virtual worlds, of poetic models. Neomodernism, very eclectic in its essential moments, is adapted to the intrinsic tradiționalism of the poetry 60s and 80s and has a decisiv impact in the metamorphoses of the transition from modernism to postmodernism.

O familie model şi rezonanţa ei în comunitate

Ethnographic studies have revealed the importance of the family in the development of popular culture among Romanians, highlighting its role in transmitting old creative traditions in art and its wide receptivity to innovations in current work technique. In this context, the author concludes that the family presents itself as a constant in the process of shaping the culture and civilization of a people, but also as a source of values that is continuously implemented in the reality of community and individual life. Its appearance is the result of a long and complex process, which has its beginning in the early stages of the development of the family as a social unit. In the present approach, the author discusses a family of musicians, who became a model for the locals of Costiceni village, revealing the spiritual values of resonance that it generated over the years to the rural community from which it draws its roots. Insisting on the spiritual side, he will demonstrate how this social constant has survived and how over the years it has become a generative example of culture and civilization in the genuine environment, thanks to its functions: ethical, educational, psychological, political, legal and religious.

Un poet cathartic și oracular: Nicolae Dabija

Nicolae Dabija, an assiduous promoter of the generation of poets also called the third eye (literary criticism attributes this phrase to him after the title of his debut volume – The Third Eye, Chisinau, 1975), is considered a living and mythical iconographer who, as no one else, in our immediate contemporaneity, sang the drama of the suffering of Bessarabia. He wrote a poem of „hymn, elegiac or monodic, programmatic messianic” nature, as the academician Mihai Cimpoi observes. His poetry, due to its certain value, always under the sign of sacrificial authorial identification, was favorably received, awarded and translated in many countries. Nicolae Dabija’s poems, unmistakable and memorial, do not belong only to the Romanian language on the left bank of the Prut, but to all those who are dominated by the boundlessness of the Romanian spirit.

„Olimpul din Lipcani” – un fenomen literar basarabean

This article analyzes the phenomenon of „Bessarabian Olympus” in the cultural and literary life of Jews not only in Bessarabia, but also in the Romanian and world cultural space. The author tries to explain why Lipcani - a small town, produced such a large group of remarkable people. Eliezer Șteinbarg, Iehuda Șteinberg, Leiser Grinberg, Mihail Kaufman, Yankev Șternberg, Moisei Altman - these are just a few representative names for the respective pleiad of Jewish writers. Even a brief review of the history of Jewish national culture from the Bessarabian region leads to the conclusion that the peak of its development took place in the 20s and 30s of the 20th century. The author discusses the links between social and historical memory as multilateral relations, offering the possibility to make a specific portrait of the era and of the people who represent it. The Bessarabia of that time, of the integration of the foreign-speaking population, contrasts strongly with the official data not only of the Soviet sources, but also with those of different studies published after 2000. It is necessary that the scientific analysis of Jewish literature and culture in the interwar period to be carried out in a form as developed as possible, which would allow the scattering of preconceived ideas about the culture and history of Bessarabia.

Achiziții lexicale „ultrarecente” pentru vocabularul limbii române

In certain periods, the language renewals occur unimaginably fast. The avalanche of new words and meanings attested in the press of recent years (and especially in the previous year, marked globally negative by the COVID-19 pandemic) constituted an additional pretext for us to deal insistently specially with this segment of language. Thus, in the present study we tried, following a careful analysis of the mass media language (including online), an update of the lexical system dynamics, inventorying and defining phrases, words and meanings recently entered in the use of Romanian speakers (the so-called ultra-recent lexical acquisitions), unregistered in dictionaries. It is, for the time being, a primary fixation of them, a semantization and a definition that, possibly, allows interpretations by specialists in the field, in one word, without claiming that the lexicographic material presented already has an absolutely normative character.
