Title: Romanian Literary History at a Crossroads: Mihai Iovanel's History of Contemporary Romanian Literature: 1900-2020 and the Cultural-Materialist and Transnational Turn in Literary Studies. [Editorial] Authors: Gârdan, Daiana; Modoc, Emanuel; Moraru, Christian Abstract: As intellectual projects, literary histories hold a particular significance in Romanian culture; they recover authors and relegate them to anonymity, make and break canons, and promote and undermine ideologies and political agendas that reach far beyond literature and the aesthetic. “Literaturocentric,” as has been described by some, this culture has treasured literary historiography. To this very day, the greatest aspiration of most Romanian critics is to write a history of national literature—of entire Romanian literature. In certain quarters, literary histories published during the first half of the previous century are still subject to a cult of sorts.

Title: Minden Nemzeti Irodalom Valójában transznacionális Beszélgetés a Transhirol projektről. [Interjú] Authors: Terian, Andrei Abstract: A román irodalom transznacionális története (TRANSHIROL) a nagyszebeni Lucian Blaga Egyetem (koordinátor: Andrei Terian) nagyszabású ERC-Consolidator projektje. Mi a projekt fõ célja? Milyen elõnyei lehetnek egy ilyen jellegû kutatási programnak a romániai irodalom kutatása számára? A projekt fõ célja, hogy a végére egy olyan román irodalomtörténeti kézikönyv szülessen meg, amelyik megfelel az irodalomtudomány aktuális módszertani színvonalának, és összhangban áll a huszonegyedik századi olvasók érdeklõdési körével és elvárásaival. Ez egyfelõl azt jelenti, hogy fel kell hagynunk számos elõítélettel és attitûddel, mint amilyen például az impresszionizmus fétise, a nacionalista mítoszok, a (mikro)monografikus illúziók vagy a kanonizátori pozíció magától értetõdõsége, amelyeket a nyugati kritika évtizedekkel ezelõtt maga mögött hagyott. Másfelõl azt is, hogy meg kell kérdõjeleznünk az olyan problematikus fogalmakat, mint a „nemzet”, a „kánon” vagy az „érték”. Description: Terian Andrei.

Title: An Ethos of Attunement: Ruxandra Novac Among Objects Authors: Moraru, Christian Abstract: A buzzword of the first post-Cold War decade, “transition” held out the promise of a fresh start for most countries of the former Eastern Bloc and, as such, seemed preferable to the inanely retweeted “end of history.”¹ But the quantum leap out of pre-1990 economic, social, and cultural modes such as centralized planning, single-party rule, and politically Aesopian postmodernism did not quite happen. Repeatedly botched “shock therapies” slowed the rebound down to an agonizing crawl all over the East, and before long, the euphorically advertised narrative of smooth progress toward a prosperous society would ring hollow in the face of bruising realities: the implosion or hasty liquidation of manufacturing industries, the collapse of national currencies, skyrocketing inflation, surreal corruption, and the quiet return of apparatchiks and secret-police cadres as “entrepreneurs” and nouveaux riches. Glaring disparities between recently minted categories of “winners” and “losers” went hand in glove with dire poverty, homelessness, crime, an exodus to the affluent West, and a culture of cynicism that made empathy, dedication to the common good, and hope look foolhardy. These were some of the basic ingredients of what would come to be referred to as postcommunist precarity. To many, this was late twentieth-century reality, even though, in and of itself, it was not entirely new; to be sure, there had been plenty of venality, indigence, and scarcity under the obscenely overfed communist oligarchies of Central and Eastern Europe, when people scraped along amid all manner of shortages and indignities. New was writers’ freedom to tackle the transition hardships openly by availing themselves of the unprecedented degree of permissiveness publishing houses, magazines, and the other media began to enjoy after 1989.
