Abstract: Sensibility and Popular Imagination in the Apocalyptical and Eschatological Literature. A Case Study. The apocalyptical and eschatological texts which appeared in Romanian culture in Greek and Slavonian versions, determined a particular "look" of the local authors, elements which deserve to be studied by the history of culture.Constituting a real movement, this influence does not impel us merely to translate the texts. Our research analyzes a few themes offered by an original miscellany written in Transylvania at the end of the 18th century and at the beginning of the 19th century: the End of the Man, the End of the World, the structure of Hell and Heaven, the realism of the Doomsday. The apocalyptical and eschatological texts of this collection represent literary jewels full of charm and imagination. This selection represents a very useful source in completing a cultural antropology of sensibility, creativity, receptivity of Romanian cultural traditions. The literary inventory of the Other World contains an apocalyptical imaginary whose features give us some clues about its popular dimensions and accessories of human capacity of dreaming. | |||||||
