(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.

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.

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.
