ADDENDA Abstract This volume is the first part of a project meant to investigate the relations between the Romanian and the European literary criticism in the time interval 1870 1930. For this reason, not all the issues and instruments I have formulated in the Argument of my study are solved or applied in the analyses I carry out throughout this book. Nevertheless, I believe the previous approach managed to emphasize a series of significant aspects, which can be summarized as preliminary conclusions. First of all, the objective of my approach was to highlight the utility of an interpretation of the history of Romanian literary criticism from the perspective of Thomas Kuhn s paradigm theory. There are many advantages to such an approach, which make it preferable to the various traditional periodizations discussed in the first chapter of this volume. First, unlike the stereotypical classifications depending on epochs or literary movements, the paradigmatic analysis stresses better the phenomenon of the autonomization of the critical discourse as a specific disciplinary practice. Then, in contradistinction to the histories of critical models, the description of the history of literary criticism from the perspective of paradigm shifts can account more convincingly for the mutations undergone by the Romanian criticism throughout its evolution and, at the same time, to establish a series of common reference points which should allow a more detailed comparison between Romanian and European criticism. Finally, unlike the histories of the concept of literary criticism, paradigms do not cut this discursive practice down to its theory or method. A paradigm is neither a theory, nor a method ; it is a totalizing cognitive frame, which encompasses and governs both the nature of the issues questioned by a critic ( theory ), and the concrete, actual manner of providing 199

answers to them ( practice ), which I have tried to systematize by what I call reading strategies. Secondly, this book defends the idea that, between 1870 1930, Romanian literary criticism was dominated by a positive evolutionary paradigm, which is circumscribed by four main characteristics: the obsessive concern with method, the generalizing taxonomy practice, directional criticism and historicism. Certainly, the years I suggested in order to delineate this time interval are approximate points of reference. A more rigorous framing of the epoch from Maiorescu to Lovinescu would consider the years 1867 (when the study O cercetare critică asupra poeziei române de la 1867 [A Critical Analysis of 1867 Romanian Poetry] appeared, which establishes literary criticism as an autonomous discourse in Romania) and 1929 (when the last volume of Istoria literaturii române contemporane [The History of Contemporary Romanian Literature], called Mutația valorilor estetice [The Mutation of Aesthetic Values], appeared, which is the last major evolutionary theoretical project of Romanian literary criticism). It is also true that, through the works later published by Mihail Dragomirescu, N. Iorga or E. Lovinescu, the evolutionary paradigm was extended in Romanian literature until the end of the Second World War. Starting with the 1930s, however, the supremacy of this model was challenged increasingly more often by the representatives of the third (post )Maiorescu generation, who established a new, intuitionist or anti positivist critical paradigm. Thirdly, the use of Kuhn s theory raises, inescapably, the issue of certain authors criteria of affiliation to a specific paradigm. From this point of view, I must note that, in order to establish a critic s membership under the evolutionary paradigm, it is not necessary that all four aforementioned characteristics are present in his/her discourse. Just like any heuristic instrument, paradigms are conceptual constructs, prototypes from which any concrete object diverges to a greater or smaller extent. In fact, of the seven Romanian critics of 1870 1930 I analyze more thoroughly in this book (Titu Maiorescu, C. Dobrogeanu Gherea, Mihail Dragomirescu, Ilarie Chendi, N. Iorga, G. Ibrăileanu and E. Lovinescu), Gherea alone adhered categorically to all four precepts of positive evolutionary paradigm (though his discourse, too, encompasses a series of traits, such as the idea 200

of criticism as art, which place him outside the standard model). Then, I need to note that there are cases where some critics writings further illustrate a series of evolutionary characteristics they had rejected explicitly in their programmatic statements. This is the case, for example, with G. Ibrăileanu, who, although he had rejected directional criticism, benefitted fully from this practice, or with Titu Maiorescu, who, although he adhered to a purely idealistic aesthetics, in practice operated with an evolutionary idea of the literary phenomenon. In fact, with the majority of the critics I analyze, the evolutionary paradigm interferes with other paradigms, particularly with the idealistic one (e.g., Maiorescu and Dragomirescu) or with the intuitionistic one, which occurred in early twentieth century Romanian criticism mainly in the shape of impressionism (e.g., Chendi and Lovinescu). But even in this form, all these critics associated themselves, to various extents, with the positive evolutionary paradigm. The main explanation of this phenomenon is that the authors who challenge certain aspects of the said paradigm do not yet hold a conceptual platform sufficiently large to replace it; thus, they are constrained to continue to talk in its language and use its instruments. From this point of view, the most conclusive cases (and, at the same time, the extremes of the positiveevolutionary paradigm in Romanian criticism) are Mihail Dragomirescu (whose type of discourse could be labeled positivism without evolutionism) and E. Lovinescu (who practiced an evolutionism without positivism). In any case, the decisive aspect is that none of them breached irrevocably the limits of the positive evolutionary paradigm, even though each of them updated various characteristics, thus confirming the hypothesis that paradigms remain a useful instrument in the characterization of individual discourses. Therefore, three main issues have been the object of my concern in this volume: accrediting the paradigm theory as instrumental to the exploration of the history of literary criticism, the circumscription of the positive evolutionary paradigm as a regulating mechanism of the Romanian criticism between 1870 and 1930, and the analysis of the individual paradigmatic affiliations, by means of seven case studies. The second part of the project will result in an analysis of the pivotal concepts of the epoch ( evolution / progress, aesthetic, national character etc.), the 201

crystallization of supraindividual discourses in the form of ideologies that dispute their supremacy over the cultural field ( junimism, socialism, poporanism [populism] etc.) and the referencing of the Romanian critical area to other cultural spaces, both West and East European (by analogy with phenomena and processes such as the Slovene cultural syndrome described by Dimitrij Rupel or the auto colonization theorized by the Bulgarian scholar Alexander Kiossev). Although some of these topics are approached laterally throughout the present book, I believe their systematic investigation requires a new perspective certainly, a complementary one, but, at the same time, different from the one used heretofore. 202
