Cinci feţe ale modernităţii: modernism, avangardă, decadenţă, kitsch, postmodernism
„Termenul şi conceptul de modernitate au o istorie foarte lungă şi complicată. În ciuda numeroaselor ei lacune, sper ca schiţa istorică din primele câteva zeci de pagini să fie suficient de validă ca ipoteză de lucru. Rolul acestei ipoteze este acela de a-l pregăti pe cititor să urmărească argumentul principal al cărţii, şi anume că modernitatea estetică trebuie înţeleasă ca un concept de criză aflat într-o triplă opoziţie dialectică: faţă de tradiţie, faţă de modernitatea civilizaţiei burgheze (cu idealurile ei de raţionalitate, utilitate, progres) şi, în sfârşit, faţă de ea însăşi, în măsura în care se percepe pe sine drept o nouă tradiţie sau formă de autoritate.” (Matei Călinescu)
Five Faces of Modernity
Five Faces of Modernity is a series of semantic and cultural biographies of words that have taken on special significance in the last century and a half or so: modernity, avant-garde, decadence, kitsch, and postmodernism. The concept of modernity--the notion that we, the living, are different and somehow superior to our predecessors and that our civilization is likely to be succeeded by one even superior to ours--is a relatively recent Western invention and one whose time may already have passed, if we believe its postmodern challengers. Calinescu documents the rise of cultural modernity and, in tracing the shifting senses of the five terms under scrutiny, illustrates the intricate value jud...
A citi, a reciti
Traducere de Virgil Stanciu Cu un eseu despre „Oralitate în textualitate“ tradus de Anca Băicoianu, un capitol românesc despre Mateiu I. Caragiale și „Recitiri“ (Dilemateca) „În «Epilogul» cărții sale A citi, a reciti: Către o poetică a (re)lecturii (intitulată, în versiunea sa originală, Rereading), Matei Călinescu spune că a ajuns la ideea de a o scrie atunci când a recitit anumite texte pentru a le descoperi secretul. Prin nenumărate reflecții extraordinar de inteligente și ingenioase, mustind de informație istorică de calitate, Matei Călinescu reușește de fiecare dată să elucideze misterul, dar şi să arate că misterul textului literar nu este o cri...

Exploring Postmodernism
The great diversity of contexts in which the term Postmodernism is currently encountered reflects the remarkable success of a coinage that has been in circulation for only about forty years. It has been used by philosophers, sociologists, art critics and literary historians to become, finally, a household word in the language of advertising and politics. Before letting it fade to a derelict cliché, an attempt is made in this volume of essays to use its potential as a cultural concept for the analysis and understanding of contemporary literature and thought.
Second Thoughts
How does our perspective change after the first reading? What distortions emerge through repetition? How do we determine what's worth rereading and what is the role of such repetition in our lives? What are the gains and losses? This work investigates the rereading of texts from various genres.
The Life and Opinions of Zacharias Lichter
A new translation of the only novel by lauded Romanian literary critic Matei Călinescu An NYRB Classics Original Ugly, unkempt, a haunter of low dives who begs for a living and lives on the street, Zacharias Lichter exists for all that in a state of unlikely rapture. After being engulfed by a divine flame as a teenager, Zacharias has devoted his days to doing nothing at all—apart, that is, from composing the odd poem he immediately throws away and consorting with a handful of stray friends: Poldy, for example, the catatonic alcoholic whom Zacharias considers a brilliant philosopher, or another more vigorous barfly whose prolific output of pornographic verses has won him the nickname of th...
