Conceptul lovinescian de „intelectualizare” a literaturii față cu ipoteza postbelică a țăranului „intelectualizat”

Abstract: In this essay I investigate the multiple and ambiguous ways in which the Romanian critic Eugen Lovinescu instrumentalized one hundred years ago the concept of „intellectualization” regarding the process of Romanian literature evolution towards modernity, a process associated with abandoning its rural roots in order to become thematically more urbane oriented. I also investigate the polemical echoes of Lovinescu’s action during the Interwar period and after, especially during the Communist era (1948-89), when his texts and thesis were largely deformed in order to both subvert and accommodate the Communist regime agenda towards peasant and rural literature.

Keywords: poetry, literature, intellectualism intellectualization, intellectual proletariat, capitalism, peasantry.
