Abstract: Homo Brucans şi alte eseuri (Homo Brucans and Other Essays) is a thirteen essay collection reflecting Ştefan Borbély’s interests in recent history, religion, the history of mentalities, literary studies and hermeneutics. Focusing on less known aspects of the historical and literary imaginary, Ştefan Borbely attempts to underline the importance of details and nuances in reading crucial debates of the Western thought. Despite the eclectism that characterizes the choice of themes in the present volume, they all share the author’s propension for a passionate approach in matters of delicate issues concerning both autochthonous and world matters. On the one hand, Ştefan Borbely pays attention to challenging aspects of Romanian mentalities. He, thus, discusses the Romanian journalism before the 1989 Revolution (1968, The Year of the Restless Sun and Its Media Reflections in Romania), methodologies of identity generating discourses in the context of the World Wide Web expansion (The Diffuse Romanian Identity on the Internet), the discontinuities and challenges of literary directions throughout the 90s and at the beginning of the new millennium (The Generational Dynamics of Recent Romanian Literature, Romanian Literature Post-Ceauşescu, Literature, In Between Mythology and Politics), as well as representative figures of Romanian Culture (Marin Mincu, Images of Death in Nicolae Balotă’s Blue Notebook, The Marino Case 2010, The Sad Posthumous Life of a Lonely Man). |
