Lionel D. Roşca, Revizitând teoria sincronismului
The Theory of Synchronism Revisited (1)
Our paper approaches from an epistemological perspective (and in relation with contemporary theories in the area of literary history, historical anthropology, sociology, evolutionary biology etc.) the theory of “synchronism” developed by Eugen Lovinescu in the 20s of the 20th century in order to re-construct its main statements and ideas. Thus we were able to determine the true meaning this theory holds for the romanian culture: that it is a part of a larger theoretical paradigm in romanian modern culture, a paradigm to which the theory of “forms without substance” proposed by Titu Maiorescu in the last decades of the 19th century and the idea of “protochronism” formulated by Edgar Papu in the 70s of the 20th century equally belong.
