G. Călinescu's Publishing Discourse before and after 1944. Ideological Re-configuration

In contemporary literature, Călinescu's critical discourse has become the point of interest of many debates and opinions. The issue of Călinescu's both critical discourse and publicist activity facing the ever increasing pressure of the political factor and the Communist ideology after 1950 is under focus in contemporary critics. The present paper analyses the facets of Călinescu's publishing discourse before and after august’44 by taking into account the critical opinions of the time (V. Mândra, I. Vitner) and of the present (I. Bălu, N. Manolescu, A. Terian, E. Simion). In other words, the present study will focus on the relation established between the subjective and objective elements of discourse, the adhesion or denial as authorial attitudes, as well as on the conversion / replacement of the aesthetic by the newly-occurred political criteria.
