Adriana Teodorescu, Cui i-e frică de transdisciplinaritate sau o (re)găsire a lui Cioran
Who’s afraid of Transdisciplinarity or (re)finding Cioran
Our study aims at proving the existence of an incomplete transdisciplinary formula in the critical investigation made by Mircea A. Diaconu upon Emil Cioran. We are discussing Cui i-e frică de Emil Cioran? (Who’s Afraid of Emil Cioran?), published in 2008 by Mircea A. Diaconu and two of Cioran’s volumes, Scrisori către cei de-acasă (Letters to those from home) and the Notebooks from the period 1957-1972. We find that this incomplete transdisciplinary formula is closely related, in a mirror effect produced by the empathy of Mircea A. Diaconu with the researched author, to a similar formula detectable in all of Cioran’s work. We see how this formula is defined, both in his literary and critical occurrence, and what relevance it may have for the reception of Cioran’s philosophical and literary works, and also for him as a cultural figure. Thus, our approach illustrates a double benefit: on the one hand, a methodological one, the application of the transdisciplinary theory in literature and meta-literature, and on the other hand, an ontological benefit of meaning enrichment, the growing of the semantic dimension of Cioran’s cultural personality.
