Este un autoportret al cunoa?terii personale, un autoportret schi?at ?n timp real, sub ochii cititorului, pe m?sura ce Lara ia cuno?tin?? de st?rile emo?ionale prin care trece, ??i analizeaz? sentimentele, rezultatul posibilelor ac?iuni, analizeaz? deciziile pe care le ia, consecin?ele posibile. Dilema declarat? a Larei este: cum ?mpaci nevoia inimii pentru noutate, pentru tr?iri spontane, cu monotonia mariajului, chiar dac? acesta e fericit? Con?tiin?a sa este prins? ?ntre dragostea pentru so?ul cu care ?tie c? se potrive?te ca structur? ?i pe care ?l iube?te, ?i efervescen?a aventurii cu un alt b?rbat, care ?i furnizeaz? spontanul dup? care t?nje?te. Romanul se concentreaz? pe amant ?n mod deliberat. Lara este perfect con?tient? de r?ul pe care ?l produce celor trei personaje ?mplic?te: so?, amant, ?i ei ?ns??i. Perioada ?n care este creat ?i definitivat autoportretul sunt ultimii ai comunismului, anii ?n care priva?iunile impuse popula?iei sem?nau mai degrab? cu priva?iunile unui r?zboi. Cu toate acestea, eroina se concentreaz? cu ?nc?p???nare pe iubirea ei, pe mi?c?rile sufletului ei, refugiindu-se ?n tr?irile proprii ?i reu?ind astfel s? se salveze de autocomp?timire ?i s? supravie?uiasc? ?ntr-o aparent? normalitate.

Vrnd s fac un dar poeilor romni – de la care n tineree am primit inestimabile daruri, Nichita, Cezar, Grigore – am ndrznit o versiune romneasc a intraductibilelor i abstruselor poeme rilkeene. Mostre supreme ale unui discurs poetic somnambulic, desfidnd nu numai logica i sintaxa curent dar i cea poetic, aceste Elegii… sunt, cred eu, un vrf dac nu un monument al spiritualitii moderne europene. Sunt fericit ca limba romn a strmoilor mei i a marilor poei romni a primit i a putut cuprinde arta poetului austriac, ce se clatin i cuvnt ntr-un aer de o tensiune insuportabil, ntre Pindar i Holderlin, un monument de vrf inegalabil, cu siguran, al creaiei europene.“ (Nicolae Breban)

Titlul se refer? la ceea ce autorul c?r?ii consider? esen?a mitului faustic: surmontarea limitelor cunoa?terii ?i tenta?ia spre ceea ce exist? dincolo, necunoscutul sau imposibilul ?n ordinea normal? a lumii. Tenta?ia limitei ?i limita tenta?iei este o investigare critic? a ideilor ?i motivelor din perspectiva unui comparatism orientat spre filosofie ?i estetic?, pe care profesorul universitar clujean, Vasile Voia, l-a practicat consecvent ?n cariera sa.

Drept cadru general al discu?iei noastre propun o poetic? a traducerii. Dup? p?rerea mea, aceast? disciplin? – al c?rei teritoriu ?nc?lca (ba chiar ??nc?leca“) domeniile lingvisticii teoretice ?i aplicate, teoriei literaturii ?i crea?iei literare – se pliaz? pe modelul actului comunic?rii. Dup? cum se ?tie, actul respectiv implic? un produc?tor de mesaje, mesajul sau textul produs ?i un receptor sau lector (care arareori e unul cu totul pasiv; cel mai adesea el exercit? func?ia de interpret al mesajului ori textului).S? observ?m acum c? procesul traducerii este compus de fapt din dou? acte de comunicare ?nl?n?uite, dintre care primul se desf??oara ?n spa?iul limbii ?i culturii de plecare, adica al Limbii sursa, iar cel?lalt ?n sfera limbii ?i culturii de destina?ie, altfel spus a Limbii ?int?. Traduc?torul reprezint? veriga de leg?tura dintre cele dou? segmente, c?ci lui ?i incumb? at?t lectura ?i interpretarea textului surs?, c?t ?i producerea textului ?int?.

Mai ales inteligena speculativ i iueala fixrii prioritilor n cmpul de idei au facut din Rzvan Voncu un critic de ntmpinare imposibil de ignorat n peisajul literar romnesc.“ (Eugen Negrici)O panoram literar a ultimului deceniu.

George Gissing est un auteur anglais estimé, dont les livres ont cependant été peu traduits et, souvent, relativement peu vendus, y compris dans sa contrée d'origine. Son ?uvre, comme sa biographie, est restée marginale, comme la plupart des écrivains, dont il a régulièrement décrit l'existence dans ses romans. Pourtant, il entretenait et dans une certaine mesure, en tant que sujet d'études, de recherche, entretient toujours des liens privilégiés avec la France, où il a passé les dernières années de sa vie. Revitrans fait revivre par la traduction en langue fran?aise des auteurs oubliés ou en marge, dont l'oeuvre ne trouve pas sa place dans l'édition classique. Cette brève nouvelle de Gissing, qu'on peut interpréter comme une forme de danse macabre, est sa première expérience, dont les suites dépendront des capacités du traducteur et des éventuelles réactions des lecteurs.

La ora la care scriu aceste r?nduri, revista Contemporanul se apropie de aniversarea a 130 de ani de la fondare, si ne ?ntreb?m, cu to?ii, iar??i ?i iar??i, ce schimb?ri s-au produs ?n peisajul cultural, literar, social ?n ultimii 20 de ani?

Cartea e ca o pies? de teatru alc?tuit? din personaje, parantezele autorului, dialoguri, secven?e, scene, acte, cu leg?tura necesar?, intre acestea. ?n treac?t fie spus, critica poate s? ?ntre?in? longevitatea operei, dac? are destul? vigoare ?i dac? opera e de calitate. Sunt vorbe optimiste la vremea Internetului care, deocamdat?, nu de?ine puterea controlului critic ?i nici nu se ?ntrev?d ?anse de aceast? natur?.

On the second day of July in the year 1863 the Civil War in America was at its height. Late in the preceding month Lee had turned his face northward, and, with an army of a hundred thou-sand Confederate soldiers at his back, had marched up into Penn-sylvania. There was little to hinder his advance. Refraining, by reason of strict orders, from wanton destruction of property, his soldiers nevertheless lived on the rich country through which they passed. York and Carlisle were in their grasp. Harrisburg was but a day’s march away, and now, on this second day of July, flushed with fresh victories, they had turned and were giving desperate battle, through the streets and on the hills of Gettysburg, to the Union armies that had followed them. The old commonwealth was stirred as she had not been stirred before since the fall of Sumter. Every town and village in the state responded quickly to the governor’s call for emergency troops to defend the capital city. Mount Hermon, already depleted by gen-erous early enlistments, and by the draft of 1862, gathered to-gether the bulk of the able-bodied men left in the village and its surroundings, and sent them forth in defense of the common-wealth. Not that Mount Hermon was in especial danger from Lee’s invasion, far from it. Up in the northeastern corner of the state, on a plateau of one of the low foot-hills of the Moosic range, sheltered by the mountains at its back, it was well protected, both by reason of distance and location, from the advancing foe. But Mount Hermon was intensely patriotic. In the days preceding the Revolution the sturdy pioneers from Connecticut had met the equally sturdy settlers from the domain of Penn, and on this plateau they had fought out their contentions and settled their differences; the son of the Pennamite had married the daughter of the Yankee; and the new race, with love of country tingeing every drop of its blood a deeper red, had stayed on and possessed the land. So, on this July day, when the armies of North and South were striving and struggling with each other in bloody combat back and forth across the plain and up the hills of Gettysburg, Mount Hermon’s heart beat fast. But it was not for themselves that these people were anxious. It was for the fathers, husbands, sons, lovers in that army with which Meade, untried and unproven, was endeavoring to match the strategy and strength of Lee. News of the first day’s skirmishing had reached the village, and it was felt that a great battle was imminent. In the early evening, while the women were still busy at their household tasks, the men gathered at the post-office and the stores, eager for late news, anxious to discuss the situation as they had learned it. In the meantime the boys of the town had congregated on the village green to resume the military drills which, with more or less frequency, they had carried on during the summer. These drills were not wholly without serious intent. It was play, indeed; but, out of the ranks of these boys, three of the older ones had already gone to the front to fight real battles; and it was felt, by the men of the town, that the boys could not be too thoroughly imbued with the military spirit. So, on this July evening, wakened into new ardor by the news from Gettysburg, they had gathered to resume their nightly work—and play.There were thirty-three of them, ranging in years all the way from eight to eighteen. They were eager and enthusiastic. At the command to fall in there was much pushing and jostling, much striving for desirable places, and even the young captain, with great show of authority, could not quite adjust all differences to the complete satisfaction of his men.Before the confusion had wholly ceased, and while there were still awkward gaps in the ranks, a tall, straight, shy-mannered boy of seventeen, who had remained hitherto on the outskirts of the group, quietly slipped into one of the vacant places.

Alexandru Sf?rlea arat? ?ntr-o recent? recenzie a versiunii tip?rite a c?r?ii 101 poeme: ?[...] S? mai spun c? unii ?i al?ii s-au ?inspirat? din texte ale lui Vasile Poenaru pentru a-?i etala ?prospe?imile? propriilor crea?ii, ?n vreme ce acest excelent poet st?tea ?pitit? sub obrocul impasibilit??ii ?i ignor?rii tenace a criticilor?Pentru c?, ?n via?a noastr? literar?, am ajuns s? cred c? asemenea practici sunt uzitate cu... sistem?, ca s? zic a?a, pentru ca lipsi?ii de har ?i inspira?ie, proteja?ii ?i coteri?tii s?-?i ?edifice? constructele de chirpici lingvistic, cu o jalnic? ?i penibil? non?alan??, cu un tupeu de-a dreptul incalificabil!Se vorbe?te cu asiduitate ?n presa literar? despre c?r?i ale unor a?a-zi?i nou?zeci?ti sau dou?mii?ti lipsite de semnifica?ii, sens ?i substan?ialitate poetic? ?i care pur ?i simplu bat apa-n piu? ?i nu spun nimic dec?t, poate, celor ce nu vor s? aud? nimic, adul?nd – ?ntr-un nefericit paradox – nevolniciile , nonsensurile ?i vacuitatea, ?n timp ce sunt ignorate cu cerbicie c?r?i valoroase ale unor autentici poe?i, precum Vasile Poenaru. Iat? , ?nc? un elocvent fragment poenaristic: ?Mergeam pe str?zi de lung? diminea??/ Cu p?inea mea de poezie sub bra?,/ Mergeam pe str?zi de lung? diminea??/ ?i m? ardeau de foame ochii min?ii/ Mergeam pe str?zi de lung? diminea??/ Tot forfoteau p?rerile sub pietre/ Din loc ?n loc o balt? de adverbe/ Ca p?s?rile clocotitor ardeau/ Spre vie?i izvor?toare-n alte trupuri/ Mergeam pe str?zi de lung? diminea??/ ?i nu se mai cr?pa odat’ de ziu? / ?i m? ardeau de foame ochii min?ii/ ?i-am ?nceput s?-mi rod ?nt?i din unghii/ Apoi din os din inim? din creier/ Mergeam pe str?zi de lung? diminea??

Zece basarabeni pentru cultura rom?n? face parte dintr-un proiect mai amplu numit Interviuri cu tinerii dintre milenii. Anul 2000 era considerat unul mistic ?i chiar apocaliptic, s-a vorbit ?i s-a scris foarte mult despre aceast? cifr? plin? de simboluri, oricum, atunci treceam nu doar dintr-un secol ?n altul, ci ?i dintr-un mileniu ?n altul. Cum erau tinerii care au tr?it aceste momente, ce f?ceau, cum g?ndeau, ce proiecte de viitor aveau? – cartea aceasta ne r?spunde la aceste ?ntreb?ri-st?ri. Tinerii ale?i pentru dialoguri erau ?n focul ac?iunii, ?n v?rf, iar acum fiecare e o certitudine, nici unul nu a tr?dat speran?a investit? ?n ei, chiar dac? soarta lor – inevitabil – s-a schimbat de atunci.Dumitru Crudu nu mai scrie poezie, ?n schimb, acum a debutat ?i ca romancier ?i e unul din cei mai aprecia?i dramaturgi contemporani, piesele sale fiind puse ?n scen? pe toate continentele, ceea ce se ?nt?mpl? ?i cu piesele Nicoletei Esinencu, care atunci ?nc? nu debutase ?n volum, de?i textele ei erau jucate pe scena unor teatre de prestigiu at?t din Rom?nia, c?t ?i din Rusia, SUA, Germania, iar acum are c?r?i publicate ?i aici, ?i peste hotare. ?tefan Ba?tovoi a devenit ieromonahul Savatie, poetul deosebit de talentat dintre milenii s-a c?lug?rit, ?i-a f?cut o editur? ?i a ?nfiin?at ?i o revist?, iar c?r?ile sale de dup? c?lug?rire, romane ?i eseuri existen?iale, sunt poate cele mai citite c?r?i, cel pu?in asta spun v?nz?rile. Alexandru Vakulovski nu mai e debutantul furios care demonstreaz? prin c?r?ile sale de debut (3!) c? se poate scrie ?i altfel, revolu?ion?nd limbajul ?n literatura rom?n?. ?ntre timp, trilogia Letopizde? a fost publicat?, scriitorul edit?nd ?i c?teva c?r?i de poezie, iar piesele sale de teatru au fost traduse ?i editate ?n antologii din str?in?tate, unde au fost dramatizate, poeziile sale fiind selectate ?i pentru antologia de poezie din SUA, New European Poets, cea mai recent? carte a sa fiind romanul 157 de trepte spre iad sau Salva?i-m? la Ro?ia Montan? (Editura Cartier, 2010). Vasile Ernu a lucrat la una dintre cele mai mari edituri din Rom?nia, a editat o carte de mare succes (N?scut ?n URSS, Editura Polirom, 2007), tradus? ?n mai multe limbi, iar pe a doua a publicat-o direct ?n str?in?tate. Pavel P?duraru ??i continu? lupta ziaristic?, dar ?ntre timp s-a afirmat ca poet ?i a publicat ?i un roman destul de controversat, care a provocat multe discu?ii. Mito? Micleu?anu este, al?turi de Florin Braghi?, fondatorul ?i realizatorul ?Planetei Moldova“. ?ntre timp, Florin s-a concentrat pe munca de designer, iar Mito? pe literatur?, edit?nd trei c?r?i ?i devenind una dintre cele mai sigure voci literare. Roman Tolici este unul dintre cei mai aprecia?i arti?ti plastici tineri, expun?nd mai mult ?n str?in?tate dec?t acas? – la Praga, Strausberg, Celje, Berlin. Super-boxerul Octavian ??cu a devenit un om de ?tiin?? la fel de st?p?n pe noile instrumente de munc?, care scrie c?r?i de istorie ?i lucreaz? la multe proiecte valoroase. Iar Zdob ?i Zdub este una dintre cele mai populare ?i mai originale forma?ii de limb? rom?n?, c?nt?nd la prestigioase festivaluri europene, ?n turnee de promovare a albumelor sau pur ?i simplu ?n concerte, purt?nd marca unui nou stil: hardcore moldovenesc.Ce-i une?te pe ace?ti arti?ti ?nc? tineri? ?n primul r?nd, locul na?terii, to?i fiind rom?ni basarabeni, apoi limba ?n care creeaz?, to?i cei ?zece“ intervieva?i trec?nd Prutul ?i activ?nd ?n cultura rom?n?. Interviurile sunt splendide, Mihail Vakulovski fiind un maestru ?n domeniu, iar r?spunsurile sunt deschise, directe, lipsite de orice fel de inhibi?ii. O carte cu siguran?? interesant? ?i pentru cititorii dintre mileniile trei ?i patru. Lectur? pl?cut?!

A Dublinban nevelkedett John Kavanagh vékony dongájú k?ly?k volt, akit az iskolában rendszeresen kínoztak és vertek a társai. Miután tinédzserként egyszer ?sszeverték az utcán, mert próbált egy járókel? védelmére kelni, úgy d?nt?tt, megtanulja megvédeni magát. Nem sokkal kés?bb már sportolókat edzett egy apró pajtában, és megszervezte ?rország els? kevert harcm?vészeti rendezvényeit. Aztán egy napon egy pimasz k?ly?k sétált be az edz?termébe. Conor McGregornak hívták. Az ír fiú a semmib?l érkezett, és néhány év alatt a világ egyik legismertebb sportolója lett… Két súlycsoportban is világbajnoki címet szerzett… Ma már egymilliárd forintért száll ketrecbe, és felkerült a világ legjobban keres? sportolóinak százas listájára… Szórakoztató stílusával, hipszter külsejével igazi médiasztár lett, és arra készül, hogy meccseivel futballstadionokat t?lt meg…Ebben a k?nyvben John Kavanagh két leny?g?z? élett?rténetet mesél el: a sajátját és McGregorét, mik?zben végigk?veti az MMA robbanásszer? elterjedését az egész világon. Kavanagh a ?Gy?zz vagy tanulj!” mottót a zászlajára t?zve már nemcsak a világ egyik legelismertebb trénere, hanem képvisel?je egy eszmének, amelynek lényege a kitartás, és a pozitív világszemlélet. Mert mik?zben ott állt az egész világ csodálatát kivívó McGregor mellett a legnehezebb pillanatokban és legnagyobb diadalok perceiben is, megtanulta, mit jelent a becsvágy, a fegyelem, a csalódás – mit jelent beteljesíteni valakinek az álmait. "Mindenkinek, aki tudni szeretné, hogyan k?vesse az álmait – egészen a célig." – Tony Parsons"Vannak emberek, akik képesek a feje tetejére állítani a világot. John Kavanagh és Conor McGregor ilyenek." – S. Kovács ?dám A szerz?r?lJohn Kavanagh, a Straight Blast Gym ?rország vezet?je, a világ egyik leghíresebb kevert harcm?vészeti edz?je. Versenyz?i k?z?tt találjuk a UFC pehely- és k?nny?súlyú bajnokát, Conor McGregort.

Volum nominalizat la sec?iunea ?Critic?. Istorie ?i Teorie Literar?“ – Premiile ?Observator cultural“, edi?ia a VI-a, 2012 Acest al doilea volum abordeaz?, tot din perspectiva experimentalismului, care sufer? ?n contextul postdecembrist anumite ?radicaliz?ri“, poezia autorilor intra?i ?n literatur? dup? 1990. Asemenea ?radicaliz?ri“ (care pot fi subordonate unei ideologii/retorici a excesului) sunt privite din perspectiva conceptului de ?hiper?modernitate“ teoretizat de Gilles Lipovetsky, pe care autorul ?l propune ?n locul celui (consacrat) de postmodernism. Plec?nd de aici, sunt luate ?n discu?ie abord?rile teoretice ale ultimelor dou? promo?ii poetice, ca ?i ?manifestele literare“ (fracturist, utilitarist etc.) ale acestora ?i sunt analizate c?teva direc?ii poetice, situate ?n continuitatea experien?elor experimentaliste discutate ?n volumul anterior.

Un caleidoscop ?n care se rotesc ?ncet imagini din copil?ria cu mineri, decantoare ?i benzi care transport? c?rbunele sau din adolescen?a ?ntr-o uniform? albastr?. Textele astea spun, ?n fond, pove?ti despre oameni dragi. (Ana Pu?ca?u)Ce-?i r?m?ne de f?cut atunci c?nd e?ti num?rat ?dup? gloan?e“, c?nd ajungi s? asociezi cele mai bune vremuri cu ?primele defil?ri“, prin fa?a ochilor ?i se deruleaz? ?toate marile filme ale indiferen?ei“, iar ?n loc de cer nu mai reu?e?ti s? vezi dec?t ?sute/de mii de c?m??i albastre cu epole?i“? Nu-?i r?m?ne altceva dec?t s? ratezi ?tot ce se putea rata“, asta e lec?ia pe care o ?nva?? at?t de bine ?i o pred?, iat?, mai departe, f?r? gre?eal?, fosta elev? a L(iceului) M(ilitar). De?i pare imprimat pe o band? magnetic?, iar limbajul este ?n esen?? unul sever, discursul ?pedagogic“ din te a?tept ca pe un glonte las? s? se strecoare printre r?nduri suficient din emo?iile, respira?iile sau ezit?rile instan?ei emitente, astfel ?nc?t abilitatea celei aflate la pupitru s? devin? de necontestat. Pentru c?, da, Ana Pu?ca?u convinge f?r? probleme, indiferent dac? scrie despre identit??i furate, manevre sterile, r?zboi, iubire sau ratare. (Cristina Ispas)Un spa?iu disciplinar, depresiv, amenin?at de gloan?e, p?ndit de moarte – o zon? biografic? marcat? de absolvirea LM-ului. Prezen?a semnificativ? a conjunctivelor ?i condi?ional-optativelor m? face s? cred c? totul ar putea fi ?ntocmai, iar rezultatul, exact cel b?nuit, c? oricine poate juca rolul principal propus de Ana Pu?ca?u. Concrete?ea spa?iilor nu se dezminte nici un moment, poeta r?m?n?nd fidel? geografiei ?i istoriei imediate, realiz?nd astfel un sumbru decor al lumii la ?nceput de mileniu; cu fabrici dezafectate, baruri, camioane ?i, de ce nu, cu Bosnia sau Basarabia. Teama care str?bate volumul, ca o ven? sub?ire, tr?deaz? fragilitatea de care literatura ultimelor decenii are at?ta nevoie. Debutul poetic al Anei Pu?ca?u este – probabil – cel mai a?teptat (?i mai reu?it) din zona Timi?oarei, ?n ultima vreme. (Moni St?nil?)

n lucrarea sa, care a ctigat premiul Pulitzer n 1981, Robert K. Massie prezint detaliat viaa acestui captivant personaj istoric i evideniaz evenimentele cruciale care au transformat un biat ntr-o legend, inclusiv cltoriile sale incognito prin Europa, curiozitatea sa de nepotolit fa de obiceiurile occidentale, obsesia pentru mare i constituirea mreei flote ruseti, modul n care a creat o armat de nenvins i relaiile sale cu cei pe care i-a iubit cel mai mult: Ecaterina, iubita sa tandr, i Menikov, prinul fermector i lipsit de scrupule care a ajuns la putere prin intermediul prieteniei cu Petru. Un loc special n carte l ocup relaia dificil a lui Petru cu fiul su Aleksei, care a fost judecat i condamnat la moarte n 1718. Autorul nu neglijeaz nici viaa politic, social, cultural i religioas din Rusia pe parcursul jumtii secunde a secolului al XVII-lea i primei pri a secolului al XVIII-lea. Astfel, Massie i conduce cititorii n lumea ruseasc medieval i premodern schimbat iremediabil, uneori n mod violent, de reformele iniiate de monarhul autocrat Petru cel Mare. Fie c sunt schimbri care au afectat n primul rnd individul, precum obligativitatea tierii brbilor, sau iniiative care au vizat consolidarea forei statului, de exemplu, nfiinarea marinei ruseti i a Sankt-Petersburgului, reorganizarea administrativ inspirat de modelul occidental, toate acestea au transformat Rusia medieval ntr-un stat modern. n acelai timp, multe dintre reformele din timpul lui Petru au avut o influen ndelungat asupra societii ruseti. Cartea lui Massie nu ofer doar o perspectiv intern a societii ruseti, ci urmrete i aciunile lui Petru n planul politicii externe, la nivel european sau chiar global. Astfel, dou dintre cele cinci seciuni ale lucrrii se ocup de relaiile Rusiei cu celelalte state europene. Poate cel mai important conflict din timpul domniei lui Petru a fost cel mpotriva Suediei. n urma Marelui Rzboi Nordic (1700-1721), Rusia a obinut o serie de teritorii (Estonia, Livonia i Ingria). Totodat, deznodmntul acestui lung rzboi a nsemnat i ascensiunea Rusiei la rangul de putere continental. Pe plan militar, ns, domnia lui Petru nu a fost scutit de eecuri. Campania arului din Moldova, pornit mpotriva Imperiului Otoman, s-a terminat prin nfrngerea de la Stnileti (1711). Nu de puine ori, autorul american i aduce n prim-plan pe actorii politici importani din Europa sfritului secolului al XVIII-lea i nceputului secolului al XVIII-lea.

Aceste cinci eseuri pot constitui un (incomplet) tratat de literatur? comparat? care are ?n vedere ca termen de referin?? deschiderile teoretice diversificate din ultimul deceniu al secolului trecut ?i ?nceputul noului secol. Caracterul fluid al no?iunii face din comparatism o mitologie plural? at?ta vreme c?t lipse?te o teorie general unificatoare. Imposibilitatea de a-i legitima pe deplin obiectul, indeterminat ?i imprecis, l-a f?cut pe Charles Bernheimer s? defineasc? literatura comparat? drept o ??tiin?? anxiogenic?“. Este literatura comparat? o disciplin? autonom? sau, dimpotriv?, una anexat? studiilor culturale care nu dispun de o justificare teoretic?? Direct sau indirect, cartea lui Vasile Voia, profesor la Facultatea de Litere a Universit??ii Babe?-Bolyai, a luat forma unui discurs polemic. Comparatismul modern maximalist, renun??nd la rigorile anacronice ale comparatismului francez, p?n? la a uita de text ca obiect estetic, a devenit domeniul predilect al tuturor diletantismelor ?i formelor estetice ?n care dispare orice rigoare. Vasile Voia se situeaz? principial de partea pozi?iei ferme exprimate de Adrian Marino, ?n descenden?a lui René Wellek ?i René Etiemble, a profesorilor de la Yale, Harold Bloom ?i Peter Brooks, care au militat pentru men?inerea canonului tradi?ional occidental ?i a esteticului ca valoare primordial? a operei literare.
