EUGEN SIMION: ESTUL ȘI VESTUL EUROPE – DIALOGUL NU S-A STINS
Get PDFThis interview, hitherto unknown in Romania, with the critic Eugen Simion was published under the title Еуђен Симион: Европски исток и запад – диалога није замро (translated by us: Eugen Simion – Eastern and Western Europe: the Dialogue did not Stop), in „Pechat” magazine, no. 395, 13.11.2015, pp. 50-53. We publish it for its documentary value. To our knowledge, the answers of the academician Eugen Simion have not been preserved in their original version, that is, in Romanian. In the pages of „R.I.T.L.” we offer, thanks to Marija Nanadić, a „translation of the translation” – a practice not recommended, but sometimes impossible to avoid. We would also like to thank Ms. Nataša Jovanović, the journalist who conducted the interview, and the Editor-in-Chief of „Pechat”, Ms. Ljiljana Bogdanović, for the kindness of offering this interview to the Romanian readers. Some answers have a contextual relevance, referring to the political and institutional state of affairs in Romania almost 10 years ago. Others have a more general character, illustrative of the interviewee’s intellectual choices and personality
Eugen Simion – insigne la reverul operelor literare
Get PDFThis article refers, on the one hand, to the laborious activity of Eugen Simion in the field of criticism and literary history from his debut until 1989, materialized in the series Romanian Writers of Today (1974-1989), and, on the other hand, aims to reveal the passionate manner in which Eugen Simion was involved, from the date mentioned above, in several visionary projects, among which are the facsimilation of Eminescu’s Notebooks, the Chronology of the Romanian Literary Life (1944-2012), the General Dictionary of Romanian Literature (8 vols) and the coordination of the Fundamental Works collection (also known as the Pléiade Collection) from which over 300 volumes appeared. Last but not least, the author of this article extracts from the work of Eugen Simion a series of memorable quotes, which he considers, in a symbolic way, “badges on the lapel of his books”
EUGEN SIMION: EXEGI MONUMENTUM
Get PDFThis text is a reminder that October marks one year since the passing of Professor Academician Eugen Simion, a prominent figure in Romanian culture. The article pays tribute to the efforts and achievements of Eugen Simion’s work and legacy, exemplified by the verses of the Latin poet Horace, “exegi monumentum aere perennius”. It highlights the significant contributions of this exceptional personality of Romanian culture and literature, emphasising Eugen Simion’s reputation as one of the most esteemed literary critics and historians, essayists and theorists in the field of literature. He is considered the (theoretical) founder of biographical genres (journals, correspondence, memoirs). His activity as an editor, preface writer, author of monographs and promoter of national-scale projects yielded important results, including Dicționarul General al Literaturii Române ‘The General Dictionary of Romanian Literature’ (DGLR, two editions), Cronologia vieții literare românești 1944 – 2012 ‘The Chronology of Romanian Literary Life 1944 – 2012’ (CVLR, 60 volumes) and the facsimile reproduction of Eminescu’s manuscripts (notebooks) (38 volumes). A university professor and member of the Romanian Academy and president of this high forum between 1997 and 2006, Eugen Simion also became a member of seven other academies in the United Kingdom, Denmark, France, Greece, Moldova, Spain and Serbia. Some of his books and studies were translated in Belgium, Switzerland, France, Germany, the United States, Serbia and Hungary. The unexpected loss of Professor Eugen Simion left a vast literary project unfinished, deprived now of the infectious energy and enthusiasm of its initiator. These projects are currently being continued and completed by researchers at the “G. Calinescu” Institute of Literary History and Theory of the Romanian Academy, where Eugen Simion served as director

HERMENEUTICA MITULUI ANTIC LA EUGEN SIMION: JURNALUL ÎNTRE PROTEU ȘI CIRCE
No full textÎn acest articol încercăm să explicăm importanța mitului antic în interpretarea autentică a lui Eugen Simion. Deși în lucrarea sa fundamentală „Ficţiunea jurnalului intim” găsim referințe la mai multe personaje mitice, prezentul articol se axează pe două metamorfoze ale diaristului atestate de academicianul Eugen Simion: Proteu și Circe. Hermeneutica mitului, o ramificare a hermeneuticii, constituie modalitățile de interpretare a textului artistic, care, în scopul de a elucida etapele și contextele transformării imaginii de la ontologic la cea re-creată de scriitor, explică opțiunile autorului în realizarea acestei metamorfoze și elucidează receptarea autentică a conceptelor ce relevă noi conotații, sublimându-le pe cele anterioare. În acest context, am selectat hermeneutica mitului pentru a investiga conotațiile mitului antic și mutațiile acestuia în discursul critic al lui Eugen Simion. Transformarea este pilonul pe care mizează cercetătorul, totodată argumentându-și selecția pentru Proteu și Circe. Considerăm important a explica diferențele acestor inițiați ai metamorfozelor pentru a percepe rolul remitizării ce contribuie la perspectiva recunoașterii. Receptorul rămâne într-un exercițiu de desfigurare a mitului. În studiul lui Eugen Simion secundarul devine primordial. Cuvinte-cheie: hermeneutică mitică, jurnal, diarist, Proteu, Circe, metamorfoză, critică literară, Eugen Simion

The Return of the Author: An Existentialist Creed
Get PDFPublished in 1981, the book Întoarcerea autorului (‘The Return of the Author’) is a sharp dialogue conducted by Eugen Simion with the theories formulated by representatives of the new criticism, especially Roland Barthes, fashionable in those years with his programmatic study entitled La mort de lʼauteur (1968). In the final part of his work, which Eugen Simion gave an interactive title, Dialoguri (‘Dialogues’), he anticipates the direction of the novel and poetry of the 1908s, in which textualism and theoretical experimentation competed with lived experience. It is not only the author of fiction works or intimate journals who returns to their own text, but the critic himself reveals his existential creed. The result is the portrait of Eugen Simion as a moralist critic, a critic of nuances, who rejects political and theoretical fanaticism, advocating for the author’s inner torment to be ignored when the work is evaluated in terms of value. In the cases exemplified by Eugen Simion, the “return of the author” must be retrieved from the comments scattered throughout the critical demonstration
Neagoe Basarab – modelul „omului desăvârșit și întreg”
Get PDFThis article is about the teachings of Neagoe Basarab in regards to the behavior of the future ruler. They are presented as a manual for practical morals where the orthodox faith intertwines with the bravery, merging the attributes of the Saint with those of the Hero. The religious significances of this moral code can be found under double appearance, for both division of the virtues (“Indwelling of God”, fasting, patience, love, gentleness, humility) and meeting of sins (lack of moderation in regards to gastronomy, drinking, gossiping, laughter and women, believed to be behind the many sins). Besides the theological instruction, the teachings of Neagoe Basarab puts into the foreground a moralist who knows the pitfalls and subtleties of the language, the finesse of meditation and the skill to push ideas to metaphysics. After Acad. Eugen Simion had commented the discursive levels of the chapters devoted to medieval diplomacy and art of the adorned speech (the parables and biblical parables), in the third part of this study the author focuses on the general meanings of the Teachings … Along with other specialists (Dan Zamfirescu, G. Mihăilă), the author believes that the paternity of the work belongs to Neagoe Basarab – even if specialists’ talks remain open – and this work, written in a liturgical language and translated into Romanian after a century, it has to be added to Romanian literary heritage. This real treatise – with teachings addressed to those who aspire to become fulfilled and upright people – does not avoid any of the great virtues of the ruler (in which Neagoe Basarab embodies the heroism and sanctity vocations) and it is our first masterpiece
