Religie-Cultur-Societate. Perspective interdisciplinare asupra vieii religioase
Pentru cunoaterea i nelegerea unei societi studierea vieii religioase este o condiie esenial, fr de care am rmne prizonierii unor imagini simpliste i deformate. n acest proces de studiere a vieii religioase raportul Religie-Cultur-Societate se impune datorit faptului c dincolo de coninutul teologic i spiritual al oricrei religii, Religia este un fenomen social i cultural. Prin urmare, abordrile interdisciplinare se preteaz mult mai bine acestui subiect, crendu-se premisele unor cercetri care reuesc, pe de o parte, s evite capcanele unor reducii i dogmatisme specifice att mediilor tiinifice ct i celor teologice, iar pe de alt parte, pot s scoat la iveal noi aspecte i pot s propun interpretri i analize rodnice. Ca i n cazul ediiilor precedente a Conferinelor de Var de la Telciu, interdisciplinaritatea este o premis de baz i n acest an urmrindu-se cooptarea att a cercettorilor care cultiv interdisciplinaritatea n activitatea lor, ct i dialogul unor specialiti i pasionai din domenii ct mai variate. Drept urmare, ne propunem abordarea vieii religioase din unghiuri ct se poate de diferite, fr a opera o circumscriere geografic, confesional sau cronologic.
Religion-Culture-Society. Interdisciplinary perspectives on religious life
Knowing and understanding a society essentially involves the study of religious life, an enterprise which, if not undertaken, would leave us prisoners to simplistic and deformed images. In the study of religious life, the relationship between Religion-Culture- Society establishes itself by virtue of the fact that beyond the theological and spiritual content inherent to any religion, that same Religion is a social and cultural phenomenon. Consequently, interdisciplinary approaches are much more suitable to the present topic, creating the premises for researches which accomplish, on the one hand, the avoidance of the characteristic reductions and dogmatisms of both scientific and theological circles, and on the other, the possibility for new aspects to be brought into view or suggestions for fruitful interpretations and analyses. As with the previous editions of the Telciu Summer Conferences, interdisciplinarity is a basic premise this year also, pursuing the convergence of researchers that cultivate interdisciplinarity in their activity, as well as the dialog between specialists and enthusiasts from different domains. Consequently, we intend to approach religious life from various angles, without operating geographical, confessional or chronological limitations.

ntre genez i apocalips. Mihail Bulgakov, Adam i Eva meditaii asupra unei antiutopii/ Between genesis and apocalypse. Mikhail Bulgakov, Adam and Eve meditations on an anti-utopia.
Nicolae Bosbiciu Facultatea de Litere Babe-Bolyai University, Cluj
Piesa Adam i Eva a lui Mihail Bulgakov apare n contextul anului 1931, respectiv al sfritului NEP-ului i instalrii regimului stalinist represiv n Rusia bolevic, pornind de la perspectivele sumbre asupra unei previzibile apocalipse, anticipate nc din articolul Perspective asupra viitorului, publicat de autor n 1919. Rsul i parodia satiric devin instrumente eficiente pentru distanarea de noua utopie profeit de autocraia stalinist. Piesa lui Bulgakov Adam i Eva nscris n siajul scrierilor epice Inim de cine i Oule fatale i plaseaz aciunea ntr-un alt reper temporal dect prezentul, respectiv un viitor al unui rzboi declanat de fascism, trimite spre idea unei noi Geneze n cadrul creia se nate omul nou, ntrerupt de o Apocalips declanat de bombe cu gaz, din infernul creia oamenii sunt salvai de un savant-profet, inventatorul unei raze salvatoare. Lucrarea examineaz contextul cultural al apariiei piesei ntr-o perioad n care creaiile cinematografice i literare pe aceast tem sunt destul de numeroase : filmul lui Lev Kuleov din 1925 despre raza morii, H. G. Wells cu Rzboiul celor dou lumi, Jack London cu Ciuma roie etc. De asemenea, pune n discuie tragedia unui popor forat s se supun colectivizrii, alturi de problema unui dialog cu o cultur muribund.
Conferinele de Var de la Telciu, ediia a III-a, Telciu, 2014 11
The play Adam and Eve by Mikhail Bulgakov appears in the context of the year 1931, namely that of the end of NEP and of the installment of the Stalinist repressive regime in Bolshevik Russia, originating in the dark views on a predictable apocalypse, anticipated in the article Perspectives on the future, published by the author in 1919. Laughter and satirical parody become efficient instruments for the distancing from the new utopia prophesied by the Stalinist autocracy. Bulgakovs play, Adam and Eve, patterned after the epic works Heart of the dog and The fatal eggs, places its action in a different reference point in time, other than the present, respectively the future of a war ignited by fascism, references towards the idea of a new Genesis where the new man is born, interrupted by an Apocalypse triggered by gas bombs, from which people are saved by a scientist-prophet, the inventor of a saving ray. The paper examines the cultural context of the apparition of the play in a period when cinema and literary works on this topic were quite numerous: Lev Kuleovs 1925 film on the death ray, H. G. Welless The war of the worlds, Jack Londons The Red Plague etc. Also, it approaches the tragedy of a people forced to resign to collectivization, as well as the problem of a dialog with a dying culture.

12 Telciu Summer Conferences, 3rd edition, Telciu, 2014 critic prezena acestor termeni n discursuri politice i n diferite doctrine sociale actuale. Voi ilustra toate aceste idei, propunnd un studiu de caz ce ia n discuie exprimarea/reprezentarea/reprimarea diversitii religioase n Transilvania, dup 1989.
This presentation focuses on the concepts of religious diversity, cultural pluralism, multiculturalism. I intend to analyze them in the framework of social sciences (especially cultural anthropology) nowadays, meanwhile approaching critically their presence in political discourses and social doctrines. Contemporary understandings of religious diversity are exposed and analyzed in my paper. I illustrate the religious diversity, using post 1989 Transylvanian scene as a case study.
Bisericile cretine i Rzboiul Just (Bellum Justum) de la sfritul Vechiului Regim la sfritul secolului al XIX-lea/ Christian Churches and Bellum Justum from the End of Ancien Rgime to the End of XXth Century
Alfredo Canavero Departament for Historical Studies University of Milan, Italy
De-a lungul secolului al XIX-lea teologii cretini au regndit conceptual de rzboi just. Unii au considerat rzboiul o pedeaps pentru cderea n pcat a omului, precum iezuitul Taparelli dAzeglio care afirma c pacea este imposibil ct statele vor fi suverane i a propus o autoritate suprem care s rezolve controversele fr rzboi. Majoritatea teologilor, ns, justifica ntotdeauna un rzboi naional, datorit alianei dintre tron i altar.
Conferinele de Var de la Telciu, ediia a III-a, Telciu, 2014 13 Dup pierderea puterii temporale papa a vorbit clar mpotriva rzboiului i a avertizat n legtur cu pericolul unei pci armate. Vocea papei n-a fost urmat. n timpul celui de-al II-lea rzboi mondial, papa Benedict al XV-lea a definit rzboiul un mcel fr folos i a solicitat dezarmare, arbitraj i conferine internaionale. El a fost considerat un agent inamic aparinnd puterilor Antantei. Trebuie subliniat faptul c episcopii i clericii rilor aflate n conflict, att catolici ct i protestani, au fost fascinai de pasiunile patriotice i au justificat rzboiul. Dup rzboi papa Pius al XI-lea a blamat naionalismul extreme care uit c toi oamenii sunt frai i membri ai aceleiai mari familii umane. Naionalismul, idolul secolului al XIX-lea era un fals dumnezeu. Aceasta era o tem a doctrine papei Pius al XI-lea: dac pui religia mai prejos de patrie orice conflict este posibil. n timpul celui de-al doilea rzboi mondial toi beligeranii i-au solicitat papei Pius al XII-lea s ia poziie. Papa a intervenit prin discursuri prudente i generice care puteau fi folosite n favoarea oricui. n orice caz, pe parcursul rzboiului pontiful a prut mai interesat s gseasc o ordine internaional care s garanteze pacea la sfritul rzboiului dect s dobndeasc o pace imediat. El n-a vorbit despre rzboi just sau injust dar n 1945 a condamnat orice rzboi, exceptnd rzboiul defensive n faa unui agresor. n acelai timp, Conciliul Mondial al Bisericilor a declarant c rzboiul este mpotriva voinei lui Dumnezeu, n timpul reuniunii care a fondat organizaia bisericilor majore protestante, anglicane i ortodoxe (Amsterdam, 1948). Cu papii Ioan al XXIII-lea, Paul al VI-lea i Ioan Paul al II-lea Biserica Catolic a realizat c absena rzboiului nu este egal cu pacea adevrat. Pe parcursul anilor 60 bisericile au binecuvntat procesul de obinere a independenei de ctre fostele naiuni colonial. Dar atunci a aprut o alt ntrebare: cum s obii justiia i libertatea pentru un popor oprimat (nu doar colonial)? n alte cuvinte, cnd o revoluie ce vizeaz obinerea libertii poate fi considerat just. i care mijloace de lupt pot fi justificate? A patra
14 Telciu Summer Conferences, 3rd edition, Telciu, 2014 reuniune a Consiliului Mondial al Bisericilor (Uppsala, 1968) a remarcat necesitatea unui studierii violenei i non-violenei n contextul luptelor pentru justiie social. Acelai congres a decis s fixeze un fond special care s sprijine micrile de eliberare din Africa de Sud i alte pri ale lumii, lund atitudine mpotriva colonialismului. Dar discuia despre legitimitatea revoluiei este nc deschis n rndul bisericilor. n 1990 papa Ioan Paul al II-lea a condamnat invadarea Kuwaitului de ctre Irak, dar a refuzat rzboiul, chiar i pentru restaurarea justiiei. Rzboiul este o aventur fr ntoarcere, a spus el. Situaia a fost mult mai ncurcat n timpul dezordinilor din fosta Iugoslavie. Acolo n-a fost un agresor i o ar agresat, ci oameni lipsii de drepturi umane fundamentale, o adevrat purificare etnic, atrociti sistematice la o scar larg. Papa a invocat o intervenie umanitar pentru a stopa mcelul. O nou doctrin aprea. Cnd toate mijloacele diplomatice erau epuizate comunitatea internaional trebuie s intervin pentru a restaura legislaia internaional. Unii au criticat aceast poziie subliniind faptul c ncalc suveranitatea unei ri. Alii au considerat c este o simpl revenire la conceptul de rzboi just. n orice caz, primul rzboi din Golf a demonstrat o foarte diferit atitudine a bisericilor fa de teoria rzboiului. n 2000 Consiliul Episcopal al Bisericii Ortodoxe Ruse a luat poziie asupra rzboiului i pcii. Rzboaiele pe pmnt sunt reflexe al rzboaielor cereti; ele sunt cauzate de arogan i nesupunere fa de voia lui Dumnezeu. Rzboiul este considerat ru dar Biserica Ortodox nu interzice participarea dac este o chestiune de aprare a vecinilor ori de restabilire a justiiei deturnate. n acest caz rzboiul este un mijloc necesar, chiar dac unul detestabil. n alte cuvinte, Biserica Ortodox Rus accept doctrina tradiional a rzboiului just, dar consider necesar o examinare atent a situaiei nainte de a aproba sau condamna un rzboi.
Conferinele de Var de la Telciu, ediia a III-a, Telciu, 2014 15 De-a lungul epocilor bisericile cretine au dezvoltat teoria unui justum bellum pentru a controla rzboiul, definind criterii specifice care pot justifica un rzboi (jus ad bellum) i condiiile de aplicat n timpul rzboiului (jus in bello). Comportamentul bisericilor care au nfruntat rzboiul a fost diferit de la o epoc la alta i n acord cu circumstanele. Unele biserici au condamnat i nc mai condamn rzboiul i violena sub orice circumstane. Altele au fost ntr-att de legate de stat nct au binecuvntat aciunile militare ale acestuia, fiind implicate n diferite faete ale rzboiului. Chiar i pe timp de pace bisericile au artat atitudini diferite fa de rzboi i violen, spre exemplu n cazul rezistenei fa de un conductor ilegitim. Avem de-a face acum cu o doctrin n progres, care solicit o ntrire a unor autoriti internaionale precum ONU. Conform majoritii bisericilor cretine nu mai este o chestiune de definire a justeii unui rzboi pentru c toate rzboaiele trebuie condamnate. Acum problema este: cum s pstrm cu dreptate justiia?
During XIX century Christian theologians rethought the concept of just war. Some considered the war a punishment for the men fallen into sin, others, like a Jesuit, Taparelli dAzeglio, asserted that peace was impossible until the States were sovereign and proposed a supreme authority to solve controversies without war. But the majority of theologians justified always a national war, owing to the alliance between the throne and the altar. After the loss of temporal power the popes spoke clearly against war and warned about the danger of an armed peace. Popes voice went unheeded. During the first world war Benedict XV defined the war a useless slaughter and urged disarmament, arbitration and international conferences. He was considered an enemy agent from Entente Powers, but following US president Wilsons Fourteen points would be very similar. We have to underline that bishops and clergy of the countries in war, both
16 Telciu Summer Conferences, 3rd edition, Telciu, 2014 catholic and protestant, were fascinated by patriotic passion and justified war. After the war Pius XI blamed the extreme nationalism, which forgets that all men are brothers and members of the same great human family. Nationalism, the idol of XIXth century was a false god. This was a topic of Pius XIs doctrine: if you postpone religion to Country, every conflict is possible. During the second world war all the belligerent powers urged Pius XII to take position. The pope intervened through very cautious and generic speeches, which everyone could use to ones own favour. In any case, during the war, the pontiff seemed more interested to found an international order to guarantee the peace at the end of the conflict than to achieve immediately any peace. He didnt speak of just or unjust war, but in 1945 condemned every war, except a war of defence against an assailant. In the same time the World Council of Churches (WCC) declared that war was against Gods will, during the Assembly which founded the organization of most major Protestant, Anglican and Eastern Orthodox Christian Churches (Amsterdam, 1948). With John XXIII, Paul VI and John Paul II the Catholic Church completely realized that the lack of war was not equal to real peace. During the Sixties the Churches blessed the process of independence of former colonial nations. But then another question arose: how to achieve justice and freedom for an oppressed (not only colonial) people? In other words, when a revolution to obtain freedom could be considered just? And which means of fight could be justified? The fourth Assembly of WCC (Uppsala 1968) called for a study process on Violence and Non-Violence in the Struggle for Social Justice. Furthermore, the WCC decided to set up a special fund to help liberation movements in South Africa and other parts of the world, taking position against colonialism. But the discussion about the legitimacy of a revolution is quite open among the Churches.
Conferinele de Var de la Telciu, ediia a III-a, Telciu, 2014 17 In 1990, John Paul II condemned the Iraq invasion of Kuwait, but refused the war, even for the restoration of justice. War is a no return adventure, he said. The situation was more intricate during the disorders in former Yugoslavia. There was not an assailant and an assailed country, but peoples deprived of fundamental human rights, a true ethnic cleaning, a large-scale and systematic atrocities. The pope invoked a humanitarian intervention to stop the slaughter. A new doctrine was starting. When all diplomatic means were exhausted, the international community had to intervene to restore international law. Somebody criticized this position, underlining that it violated the sovereignty of a country. Some others think that it is a mere return to the concept of just war. In any case the first Gulf War demonstrated a very different attitude of the Churches to the just war theory. In 2000, the Council of Bishops of Russian Orthodox Church took position on war and peace. Wars on the earth are a reflex of heavenly fights; they are caused by arrogance and disobedience to Gods will. War is considered evil, but Orthodox Church does not forbid to participate if it is a question of defending neighbours or re-establish trampled down justice. In this case war is an obliged means, even if a hateful one. In other words, Russian Orthodox Church accepts the traditional doctrine of the just war, but a careful examination of the situation is needed before approving or condemning a war. Throughout the ages Christian Churches developed the theory of the justum bellum to control war, defining specific criteria under which the war could be justified (jus ad bellum) and the conditions to apply during the war (jus in bello). The conduct of the Churches facing the war was nevertheless different from time to time and according the circumstances. Some churches condemned and still condemn war and violence under any circumstances. Some others were so strictly linked to the state that blessed its military actions, founding lined up with different sides of the war. Even in peace, churches showed different attitudes towards war and
18 Telciu Summer Conferences, 3rd edition, Telciu, 2014 violence, for instance on the problem of resistance to an unjust ruler. We are facing now a doctrine in progress, requiring a strengthening of international authority like UNO. According the majority of Christian Churches it is no more question of defining a just war, because all the wars are to be condemned. Now the question is: how to preserve peace with justice.
Problema Fericirii in fenomenul religios al modernismului/ Happiness Problem in Religious Phenomenon of Modernism
Ioan Emanuel Casvean Facultatea de Teologie Ortodox Babe-Bolyai University, Cluj
Lucrarea de fa vizeaz o analiz fenomenologic a manifestrilor spiritului n contextul cutrii ontologice a acestuia, transpus n optica modern a migraiilor valorilor i a contiinei, nspre esena libertii umane neleas astzi ca o golire de orice responsabilitate manieristic a spiritului. n acest context al mutaiilor conceptuale, problema fericirii poate fi extrem de ambigu chiar si pentru analiza religioas care trebuie nu doar s neleag fenomenul abstract al acestei mutaii, ci s l reinterpreteze pentru a readuce n plan existenial ideea contiinei ca prim motor al fericirii. De bun seam axa central a analizei de fa, atinge optimismul maladiv specific metafizicii de factur filosofic n detrimentul tensiunii religioase care nu suport n plan speculativ, tranzitivitatea ideii i a fenomenului astfel receptat, ci conduce axa tririi spirituale n aceast cutare a fericirii prin asemnarea cu nsui sursa acesteia, experien pur transcedental, care nu poate fi doar contemplat ci mai cu seam poate fi experimentat prin procesul theandric, al fericirii.
Conferinele de Var de la Telciu, ediia a III-a, Telciu, 2014 19 Analiza de fa intr n gndirea att a unor filosofi contemporani care s-au ocupat cu tema fericirii, ct i a misticilor care susin c au atins-o, prin diferitele coli ale spiritului pe care le-au urmat. Poate cea mai nociv atitudine n aceast problem este pasivitatea fa de cunoaterea spiritului i substituirea acesteia cu elemente biofizice care reduc fiina uman la graniele gravitaionale ale lunii materiale, fericirea fiind doar o categorie indus chimic. Dat fiind aadar importana analizei fenomenologice a spiritului att pentru filosofie ct i mai ales pentru spiritualitate consideram important i necesar un demers analitic i ndjduim c se va constitui ntr-un imbold pentru cercetrile ulterioare asupra temei. De bun seam utilizarea unei bogate literaruri de specialitate romn i strin ce abordeaz fie i tangenial tematica noastr, constnd din operele filosofice si patristice precum si folosirea unui instrumentar metodologic adecvat unei astfel de cercetri, vine s ntregeasc demersul analitic al temei propuse.
The present paper aims at a phenomenological analysis of the manifestations of the spirit, in the context of its ontological Search transposed into modern optics drain and consciousness, into the essence of human freedom understood today as a discharge of any liability mannerist of spirit. In this context of conceptual mutations, the problem of happiness, may be highly ambiguous, even for religious analysis that must not only understand the abstract phenomenon of this mutation, but to reinterpret it to return the existential plane idea of conscience as a prime mover of happiness. Of course the central axis of this analysis, optimism ailing achieve specific metaphysics, philosophical nature at the expense of religious tension that did not support the plan speculative idea transitivity and thus perceived phenomenon, but leads axis spiritual life in this pursuit of happiness through likeness of himself source,
20 Telciu Summer Conferences, 3rd edition, Telciu, 2014 purely transcendental toolkits that can not only be contemplated, but can be experienced especially by the theandric, of happiness. This analysis comes into thinking, so of some contemporary philosophers who have dealt with the theme of happiness and mystics who claim to have reached it by different schools of spirit that followed. Perhaps the most harmful attitude on this issue, is passivity towards spiritual knowledge and substituting it with biophysical elements that reduces the human being to gravitational boundaries of the material world, happiness is just a chemically induced category. Given the importance of the phenomenological spirit therefore, both for philosophy and spirituality especially considered important and necessary, an analytical approach and hope for that it will constitute the impetus for further research on the topic. Of course, using a rich Romanian and foreign specialized literature, even tangentially addressing our theme, consisting of philosophical operas and patristic, and use of appropriate methodological tools for such research, completes the analytical approach of proposed theme.

Relaia dintre comunism i religie a fost i rmne una conflictual. Statul a ngrdit modalitile de exprimare ale Bisericii.

Prezentm modul n care preoii i credincioii au relaionat cu autoritatea politic i ecleziastic, precum i efortul de a menine vie credina. De asemenea vom arta eforturile depuse i strategiile folosite de comunitate pentru construirea a dou capele n filiile parohiei Telciu: Fiad i Telcior. Subiectul tratat nu are pretenia de a epuiza tema ci exprim doar un fragment din ceea ce ,,vorbesc documentele din arhivele protopopiatului Nsud i parohia Telciu precum i mrturiile orale. ,,Biserica a fost o voce fr cuvinte care a reuit s-i mplineasc misiunea.
The relationship between Communism and religion was, and always will be, a conflicting one. The Communist state limited the modalities of expression of the Church. In such a context, the Church had to find new ways of accomplishing its mission of spreading the Word. This can be exemplified by investigating the course of the parish life in Telciu, Bistria Nsud County. The paper presents the relationship of the priests and the churchgoers with the political and ecclesiastical authorities, as well as their efforts to keep the faith alive. We will also present the efforts and strategies employed by the community in order to build two chapels in the branches of the Telciu parish: Fiad and Telcior. The paper does not aim to exhaustively analyze the topic, as it presents only a fragment of what the archive documents of the Nsud Archpriestship and the Telciu parish, as well as some oral accounts, speak of. The Church was a voice without words which managed to accomplish its mission.

Valer Simion Cosma Seminarul de Antropologie Istoric Babe-Bolyai University, Cluj
In the context of the process of national identity consolidation, the peasant and peasant culture occupy a central place in the identitary discourse. The present communication aims to analyze the manner in which the ecclesiastical and secular elites described the peasant and the characteristic religion of the rural world in the Romanian community of 19 th century Transylvania. I will have in view both the illuminist attitude of the intellectuals and clerics, their initiatives destined to modernize Romanian society, as well as their initiatives to preserve the traditions and the beliefs of the rural world, invested with powerful identitary meanings.

Comunicarea prezent vizeaz analiza modului n care elitele ecleziastic i laic au descris ranul i religia specific lumii rurale n cadrul comunitii romneti din Transilvania secolului al XIX-lea. Se va avea n vedere att atitudinea iluminist a intelectualilor i clericilor, iniiativele acestora menite s modernizeze societatea romneasc, precum i iniiativele acestora de a prezerva tradiiile i credinele specifice lumii rurale, investite cu puternice semnificaii identitare.

Comunitile musulmane i viaa inter-religioas n Indonezia/Moslem Communities and Inter Religious Life in Indonesia
Laode Ida Jakarta State University (UNJ), Indonezia
Comunitile musulmane din Indonezia sunt diverse, la fel ca i micrile i orientrile lor. Acestea pot fi cunoscute prin identificarea numrului organizaiilor care sunt nregistrate de instituiile autorizate i/sau prin expresiile activitilor lor temporare n societate. Din punct de vedere sociologic a fost reflectat dinamica vieii religioase islamice, pe de o parte i competiia unor figuri n rndul populaiei musulmane, pe de alt parte. Acest fenomen social arat c diversitatea comunitilor n Indonezia nu este indicat doar de diferenierea n religii, grupuri etnice, cultur i limbi locale, aa cum se tie, diversitatea fiind prezent chiar n interiorul comunitii musulmane. Problema este c dinamica vieii comunitilor intra-musulmane a provocat ntotdeauna tensiuni sociale i politice n ar i uneori a perturbat armonia ntre grupurile religioase. Atunci cnd s-au ntmplat, tulburrile sociale nu au putut fi evitate i n acelai timp au fost privite ca i cazuri de intoleran. Aceast prezentare ncearc s

Voi folosi perspectiva fenomenologic (abordarea interpretativ) n explicarea cazurilor sau datelor acestui studiu.

Muslim communities from Indonesia are diverse as well their movement and orientation. They can be known by identifying the number of Muslim base organizations which are officially listed by authorized institutions and/or temporarily expressing their activities in society. Sociologically, on one hand the dynamics of Islamic religious life has been reflected, on the other hand the competition or struggling among the figures of the largest Muslim population in the country. This social phenomena shows that community diversity in Indonesia is not only indicated by the differentiation of religions, ethnic groups, culture, and local languages as is mostly well known, but it also occurs in the Muslim community itself. The problem is that the life dynamics of intra-Muslim communities have been always rising social and political tensions in the country, and sometimes disturbing harmonization between religion groups. When it happened, social unrest could not be avoided and at the same time it is always claimed as intolerant cases. This paper is trying to describe Muslim communities movement in Indonesia which have been influencing social unrest either within Muslim communities itself or other religion groups, based on several related cases happened within last couple years. I use phenomenology perspective (interpretative approach) in explaining cases or data in this paper. It also tries to explain the state actors position in responding un-proper religious movement impacts.
Conferinele de Var de la Telciu, ediia a III-a, Telciu, 2014 27 Rugul aprins al bioeticii: consideraii teologice/ The bonfire of bioethics: theological considerations
Marcela-Mdlina Macovei Philosophy and Social Political Sciences Faculty Al.I. CuzaUniversity, Iai
Trim ntr-o era a supertehnologiilor n care fiina uman i depete cu uurin limitele. Lucrarea omului se situeaz cu mult deasupra unor simple ncercri stngace i, de multe ori, pune ntre paranteze etica actelor sale. Omul se perfecioneaz n a-i depi condiia, mai ales acum, n vremea supermemelor (Rebecca D. Costa). Domeniul bioeticii este unul extrem de controversat i aduce n discuie problema moralitii inveniilor tehnologice, mai ales din sfera medical. Avortul, clonarea sau fermele de oameni pentru piese de schimb (Gheorghe Bileteanu, Rzvan Dorin Burz) sunt doar cteva dintre temele predilecte ale dezbaterilor bioeticii. Principala problem a bioeticii rezid n armonizarea concepiilor religioase despre aceste practici mai mult sau mai puin medicale i punctul de vedere strict tiinific. Dac aceste proceduri medicale ar ine cont i de interdiciile bisericii, atunci omul ar fi tratat ca subiect uman, cu credin i voin, i nu doar ca simplu obiect al cercetrilor. Terenul fascinant al bioeticii poate s constituie ocazia perfect de a atrage un semnal de alarm cu privire la etica i deontologia practicilor tiinifice vis-a-vis de inveniile umane. Este tiut faptul c n viaa sa, omul poate deveni un diamant n mna lui Dumnezeu, ori o bucat de zgur n visteria Satanei! (Florian Stoica). Dac fiina uman ar acorda mai mult credit ideii de co-participare a omului la desvrirea creaiei divine, n sensul de protejare a vieii ca dar divin, atunci focul care genereaz exuberana uman de a cunoate i de a inventa ct mai multe nu l-ar mai arde pe cercettor, ci l-ar binecuvnta.
28 Telciu Summer Conferences, 3rd edition, Telciu, 2014 Aa cum afirma i Francis Bacon, tiina fr contiin nu-i dect o ruin a sufletului. Un adevr la fel de incontestabil este acela exprimat prin cuvintele Cardinalului Paul Poupard: nu este fals faptul c omul ar putea s organizeze lumea fr a face apel la Dumnezeu; dar fr Dumnezeu el nu poate dect s o ornduiasc mpotriva sa.
We live in an era of super technologies in which the human being can overcome its limits easily. The works of man are way above clumsy attempts and most of the time it doesnt take into account the moral value of its acts. Man perfects itself in overcoming his condition especially now in the age of super-memes (Rebecca D.Costa). The field of bioethics is one of extreme controversy and brings up the problem of technological ethics especially in the field of medicine. Abortion, cloning or human body parts farms (Gheorghe Bileteanu, Rzvan Dorin Burz) are some of the most frequent themes of bioethical debates. The main issue of bioethics resides in harmonising religious concepts on the more or less medical procedures and the strictly scientific point of view. If these medical procedings would take into account the churchs interdictions, than man would be treated as a human subject with faith and will and not just from a researchers point of view. The fascinating field of bioethics can present the perfect opportunity to warn about the ethics and deontology of scientific practices regarding human inventions . It is known that in his lifetime man can become a diamond in the hand of God or a piece of cinder in Satans treasury! (Florian Stoica). If the human being would give more credit to the idea of co -participation in the accomplishment of divine creation meaning protecting life as a divine gif, then the fire that generates human exuberance of knowledge and creation wouldnt burn the creator, it would bless him.
Conferinele de Var de la Telciu, ediia a III-a, Telciu, 2014 29 As Francis Bacon Science without conscience is but a ruin of the soul. An undeniable truth s is expressed in the words of Cardinal Paul Poupard : It is true that man could shape out the world without calling to God, but without God he can only shape it against himself.

30 Telciu Summer Conferences, 3rd edition, Telciu, 2014 Gala Galaction (1879, Dideti, Teleorman-1961, Bucureti) represents the typology of a person with two vocations, priest and writer, like Ion Agrbiceanu, Bartolomeu Anania etc. His diary (1898-1955) is impressing in a particular way because it covers different epochs, from the beginning of XXth century, the two World Wars, the falling of monarchy and the communist period until 1955. Focused on the different historical contexts in which the diary is written, this study has as purpose to invent the religious themes and how the diarist talks about the holidays and the pilgrimages of his time, about the sermons of orthodox priests, about the atmosphere from the Theology Faculty of Cernui. I will also check how the religious discourse and the attitude towards the religion and church changs in the different political regimes and in the ideologies of XXth century, when Gala Galaction was a witness of his time.

Globalization is a term, which has many definitions and many interpretations. Depending on taken issues we can use appropriate definition for our matter. Talking about globalization in case of the Muslim world it should be touch on issues of the religion Islam. We cannot speak about this process in separation sacrum sphere from profanum. Undoubtedly because of globalization era achievements widespread Internet- passing of religious contents is faster. It might be useful to talk about the online advice that Muslim scholars give to believers questions, about internet Madrasah or even about opinion exchange about different topics between individual members of Ummah. The presentation intends to show the role of the Internet in the Muslim world and its popularity although many voices were against globalization and also to offer a different approach to the issues connected to this topic.

Meta sau Modern. Dilema etic a comunitilor musulmane/ Meta or Modern, the Ethical Dilemma of Muslims communities
Ali Abdelhafiz Moursi Ahmed Faculty of Arts Assiut University, Egypt
Pe parcursul cercetrilor mele (teoretice i aplicate) am observat c societile arabe au rspunsuri religioase totalitare cu privire la problemele etice care dau rspunsuri gata fcute tuturor problemelor sociale. Consider c societile arabe nc de cnd au intrat n epoca modern (n urma campaniei franceze n Egipt n 1798) nu au fost capabile s-i adapteze conceptele sociale motenite i etica tiparurilor moderne care abordeaz problemele morale controversate ne-bazndu-se pe Meta etici sau etici gata fcute ci pe expertize i baze raionale. Aceast abordare, care confer tiparurilor moderne caracteristici tiinifice, devine tot mai relativist, tot mai dinamic , are o important trstur n faptul c nu accept soluiile tradiionale gata fcute. Aceast dilem pune pe tapet ntrebarea comunitilor musulmane despre natura moralitii, anume dac aceasta este experimental? Ceea ce nseamn: sursa moralitii este experiena istoric a umanitii sau revelaia religioas? Dilema devine de asemenea evident cnd descoperim c trecerea conceptual dinspre Meta-etic nspre eticile moderne nu mai pare o alegere voluntar de armonizare cu timpurile moderne i marcate de globalizare n care se discut chestiuni considerate prohibite n gndirea social arab, precum avortul, euthanasia, libertatea de a face sex, mai ales nainte de cstorie, libertatea de contiin i a credinelor religioase, precum i i convertirea de la o religie la alta. Aceasta este o dilem a lumii arabe care, pe de o parte trebuie s se adapteze cerinelor unor concepte raionale i aplicate, pentru a- i rezolva chestiunile sociale critice. Pe de alt parte, trebuie salvat
Conferinele de Var de la Telciu, ediia a III-a, Telciu, 2014 35 stabilitatea prin respectarea tradiiilor culturale ale celor care nc cred n soluiile tradiionale gata fcute ale clerului islamic (Shari'ah).
Through my researches (theoretical and applied alike) I have noticed that Arab societies have totalitarian religious answers about the ethics issues which are giving ready-made answer for all social questions. And I think that Arab societies since were introduced to the modern era (by the French campaign on Egypt in 1798) have not been able to adapt their Inherited social concepts and ethics to the modern types which approach the controversial moral issues not based on ready-made or Meta ethics but on experts or rational bases, this approach who gives the modern types of concepts scientific characters, that it become more relatively, more dynamic and the important character is that it become not ready to accept the traditional ready- made solutions. This dilemma calls to table of research the Muslims communities' question about the nature of morality, is it experimental? Which means: is the source of morality is the historical experience of humanity or it is religious revelation? The dilemma also becomes clear when we discover that the conceptual shift from Meta to modern ethics seems no longer a voluntary choice for harmonization with the modern-globally day which discuss issues of the nature of severe privacy in the Arabs social thinking like abortion, euthanasia, the issues of freedom of having sex, specially before marriage, the issues of gender, freedom of conscience and religious believing specially the conversion from religion to another. This is Arabs dilemma that on the one hand, they need to adapt to the demands of rational and applied concepts to resolve their critical social issues; on the other hand, they need to save the stability by respecting cultural traditions of their own people who still believe in the ready-made solution of the Islamic clergy (Shari'ah).

Paul Auster-Mitul lui Iona i reverberaiile sale n metaficiunile autorului/Paul Auster-Jonah' myth and its reverberations in the author's metafictions
Alina Pascu Facultatea de Litere Universitatea Ovidiu, Constana
Lucrarea prezent propune o analiz critic i hermeneutic a modului n care mitul lui Iona este reflectat n scrierile metaficionale ale scriitorului Paul Auster, evreu-american. Mitul este doar un pretext pentru a explora vieile protagonitilor si ghidat de credina n destin, n damnarea omului i n rolul su pasiv n propria via. Protagonitii adesea afirm c a fost doar soarta cea care a fcut s se ntmple.
Conferinele de Var de la Telciu, ediia a III-a, Telciu, 2014 37 Referirile la mitul lui Iona n romanele lui Paul Auster pot fi ntlnite sub forme diferite, mai mult sau mai puin deghizate. Dup cum Iona reprezint subiectul pasiv, sau, mai exact, omul ca obiect al unui Dumnezeu neiertator, variatele imagini simbolice ale lui Iona reflectate n romane, exprim n mod particular aceast caracteristic: pasivitatea omului n faa lui Dumnezeu, condamnarea omului la un destin ireversibil, de la care nu se poate sustrage i fa de care trebuie s se supun pasiv. Acest eseu i propune s evalueze i s prezinte ntr-un mod critic unele dintre imaginile recurente din romanele lui Auster originate n mitul veterotestamentar al lui Iona. Dup cum s-a menionat, n mod special pasivitatea omului n faa lui Dumnezeu, prezent n romanele lui Auster, transmite caracterul inevitabil i incapacitatea omului de a reaciona n confruntarea cu propriul su destin.
The present paper attempts to convey a critical and hermeneutical analysis of the way in which the myth of Jonah is mirrored in the metafiction writings of the Jewish American writer Paul Auster. The myth is just a pretext to explore the lives of his protagonists guided by the belief in destiny, in the Mans doomed character and passive role in his life. The protagonists often claim that it was just the odds/chance/fate that made it happen. The references to Jonahs myth in Paul Austers novels are to be encountered under various more or less disguised forms. As Jonah stands for the passive subject, or more exactly, the human as object of an unforgiving God, to which one is placed in opposition, the various symbolic images of the Jonahs reflected in the novels render particularly this characteristic: mans passivity in face of God, mans doomed to an irreversible destiny, from which one cannot detract, but has to submit passively. This essay aims to assess and present in a critical manner some of the recurrent images in Austers novels originated in the Old Testament myth of Jonah. As mentioned, it is particularly this passivity of the man in face of God
38 Telciu Summer Conferences, 3rd edition, Telciu, 2014 that is seldom rendered in Austers novels that conveys the inescapable character of mans incapacity to react in the confrontation with his own destiny.
Bazele legislative privind reprimarea sentimentului religios n Romnia comunist/ The legal basis for the repression of the religious feeling in communist Romania
Ioana Prislopan Facultatea de Istorie i Filosofie Babe-Bolyai University, Cluj
Obiectivul regimului democrat-popular de a reforma bazele instituionale ale societii romneti, n vederea consolidrii i conservrii puterii politice, nu putea s exclud fenomenul religios ntreinut de biseric. Astfel, nc din primii ani de guvernare, partidul comunist a promovat o politic de limitare a influenei exercitate de biseric asupra credincioilor, aceasta fiind privit de autoriti cu ostilitate i nencredere. n acest context, prin diverse modificri normative privitoare la cler s-a urmrit marginalizarea sau, n unele cazuri, eliminarea bisericii din societatea romnesc. Prin urmare, studiul de fa i propune s contureze cadrul legislativ general aplicabil vieii spirituale (analizarea Constituiilor, legilor, decretelor, regulamentelor, conveniilor), s descrie mecanismele prin care s-a ncercat controlarea instituiilor bisericeti, i s surprind reacia acestora fa de noile reglementri. De asemenea, vom puncta premisele implementrii politicilor religioase, scopul urmrit de autoriti prin adoptarea acestor modificri precum i relaiile stabilite ntre statul comunist i biseric.
The objective of the democratic-popular regime to reform the institutional bases of Romanian society, in order to consolidate and preserve political power, could not exclude the religious
Conferinele de Var de la Telciu, ediia a III-a, Telciu, 2014 39 phenomenon maintained by the church. Thus, beginning with the first years of government, the communist party promoted a policy for the limitation of the influence exerted by the church on its believers, the church being regarded by the authorities with hostility and distrust. In this context, by agency of various normative modifications regarding the clergy aimed at the marginalization or, in some cases, the elimination of the church from Romanian society. Therefore, the present study intends to outline the general legal framework applicable to spiritual life (the analysis of the Constitutions, laws, decrees, regulations, agreements), to describe the mechanisms that enabled the control of clerical institutions and to evidence their reaction to the new regulations. Also, I shall emphasize the premises of the implementation of these religious policies, the purpose pursued by the authorities through the validation of these modifications as well as the relationship established between the communist state and the church.
Experiena religioas n poezia aizecist/ Religious experience in Romanian postwar poetry
Iulia Rdac Facultatea de Litere Babe-Bolyai University, Cluj
n perioada postbelic poezia religioas e un gen mai puin abordat, dar cu att mai interesant cu ct apare ntr-un context istoric nefavorabil, al unei societi laicizate. Datorit faptului c filonul religios e camuflat n dimensiunea literar, versurile religioase scrise de poetele aizeciste nu au atras atenia criticii. Lucrarea subliniaz dinamica istoriei literare aizecismul pentru a demonstra prezena constant a componentei religioase n lirica feminin postbelic i pentru a completa imaginea poeziei religioase romneti prin investigarea unor scriitoare remarcabile i care au scris ntr-un context socio-politic singular.
40 Telciu Summer Conferences, 3rd edition, Telciu, 2014 La Constana Buzea sacrul ia mai multe forme care, fr s se exclud reciproc aa cum a lsat uneori s se neleag critica adaug trsturi originale operei. Fie c este vorba despre vocabularul religios infiltrat n discursul poetic pe teme laice, de religiozitatea melancolic, interpretat drept erotism, sau de un fior religios care ptrunde toat realitatea exterioar poetei, componenta religioas este intrinsec lirismului Constanei Buzea, un caz rar de izbvire prin poezie. Pentru Florena Albu religiozitatea nseamn o perpetu pendulare ntre rzvrtire, acceptare i cererea ajutorului divin. Fr a fi o poet religioas, aceasta triete religiozitatea ca pe dimensiune structural a vieii arhaice, rurale, care constituie perpetua nostalgie din versurile ei. Trirea ei este, cu toate acestea, izbvitoare fiindc e rezultatul unei arderi artistice i sufleteti. Poezia Ileanei Mlncioiu mbin credina cretin i credinele pgne n descntece, vrji i eresuri. Poemele ei sunt nite exerciii de supravieuire, de purificare de o suferin la limita suportabilitii, n care i gsesc locul personaje din Vechiul i Noul Testament, investite cu semnificaii noi. Merit urmrit jocul obsesiv prin care poeta dialogheaz i contientizeaz prezena lui Dumnezeu, printr-o serie de succesive micri de apropiere i ndeprtare de divinitate, n cutarea distanei care s ofere perspectiva revelatoare.
In the postwar period religious poetry is a genre less discussed, but the more interesting as occurs in a negative historical context of a secularized society. Due to the fact that religiosity is hidden beyond literary dimension, religious poetry written by female poets in the 60 s
drew no attention to criticism. My study emphasizes the dynamics of literary history to demonstrate the constant presence of religious poetry and complete the picture of our literature by investigating the works of three remarkable poetesses who wrote their religious lyrics in a singular socio-political context. In Constana Buzeas poetry the sacred takes many forms which, without being mutually exclusive, add original features to her
Conferinele de Var de la Telciu, ediia a III-a, Telciu, 2014 41 works of poetry, such as: the infiltration of religious vocabulary in the poetic discourse on secular themes, the melancholic religiosity, often interpreted as eroticism, or a religious thrill that permeates the whole reality of the poetess. Due to her constant and immanent religiosity Constana Buzea is a rare case of redemption through poetry. For Florena Albu religiosity means a perpetual oscillation between rebellion, acceptance and the request of divine help. Without being a religious poetess, she lives religiosity as an inherent part of archaic and rural life, which is the perpetual longing of her lyrics. Her experience is, however, redemptive, because it is the result of an artistic, spiritual burning. Poetry of Ileana Malancioiu combines Christian faith and pagan beliefs in charms, spells and superstitions. Her poems are some purifying survival exercises in which characters of the Old and New Testaments find their place and are invested with new meanings. Worth of attention is the obsessive performance in which the poetess dialogues with God and realizes its presence through a dynamics of approaching and departing from God, searching the distance that would provide a revealing perspective.
Fenomenul exorcizrii ntre tiin i religie/ The exorcism phenomenon between science and religion
Alexandru Rusu Facultatea de Istorie i Filosofie, Babe-Bolyai University, Cluj
Exorcismul e un fenomen care afecteaz ntr-un fel sau altul viaa multor persoane n primul rnd datorit tentaiei de a-l responsabiliza pe diavol pentru toate formele rului aprute n societate. Din punct de vedere mental i cultural experiena exorcizrii este influenat de credinele, normele, tradiiile i ateptrile
42 Telciu Summer Conferences, 3rd edition, Telciu, 2014 societii, iar percepia acestui fenomen variaz n raport cu perspectiva din care fenomenul este analizat: cea laic si cea teologic. Pentru a nelege acest fenomen, observaiile istorice ne arat c fundalul social i cultural al unei societi poate determina un tipar al posesiunii, fie c este vorba de patologie psihiatric sau posesiune demonic veridic. Am ales acest subiect din dorina de a gsi o explicaie, de a stabili un cadru de analiz care s permit dezvluirea ctorva dintre principalele aspecte ale acestui fenomen relativ mediatizat n ultima vreme. Este o alegere pur personal, nu fr oarecare nelinite dac m gndesc la ce a spus Denis de Rougemont despre autor i subiectul operei sale: cnd e vorba de autor i subiectul crii lui, se poate ti vreodat care dintre ei doi l-a ales pe cellalt?
The exorcism is a phenomenon that affects the lives of many people, one way or another, mainly due the temptation of blaming the devil for on all form of evil that may be found in a society. From an intellectual and cultural perspective, the exorcism experience is influenced by beliefs, norms, traditions and expectations in a society, and the perception of this phenomenon varies according to the perspective of analysis: secular and theistic. To better understand this phenomenon, the historical observations show us that the social and cultural basis of a society may determine a possession pattern either for the psychiatric pathology or true possession. I have chosen this topic driven by the interest in finding an explanation, in establishing an analysis context that would allow revealing some of the main aspects of this phenomenon that have received media coverage lately. Its purely a personal choice, not without a certain degree of restlessness when I consider what Denis de Rougemont wrote about the author and his work: when it comes about an author and the topic of his work, can one really know which of them picked the other?

Moartea n oglind. Viziuni ale rului interior n literatura fantastic francofon/ La mort dans un miroir. Reflets du mal intrieur dans la littrature fantastique francophone
Alexandra Stanciu Facultatea de Litere, Babe-Bolyai University, Cluj
Locul ocupat de obiectele magice n textul fantastic este amplificat de limitele impuse de trama condensat, de dimensiunile reduse ale textului care nu permit dezvoltarea unei intrigi sau a unor descrieri complexe. Cu att mai mult, acest gen literar privilegiaz folosirea formelor ekhprastice i confer obiectelor simbolice, ca de exemplu imaginilor artistice, caracteristici supranaturale: tablouri, tapiserii, statui prind via, resacraliznd astfel cotidianul. n panoplia imaginilor vizuale preferate de autorii de fantastic, includem imaginea n oglind. Dac autori ca Theophile Gautier i Georges Rodenbach par s i confere oglinzii statutul de obiect de art oglinzi de Veneia, obiect de colecie autorul belgian Thomas Owen banalizeaz obiectul n sine i se concentreaz pe semnificaia sa literar. Cu toate c, spre deosebire de portret, prin caracterul su kinetic, imaginea reflectat nu permite ilustrarea unui eu ideal (v. Jean-Jacques Wunenbuger n La philosophie des images), ea recupereaz vechile credine i le adaug prin intermediul textului literar demersului introspectiv care reveleaz de asemenea uzura fizic i spiritual a privitorului. Apelnd la mijloace i resurse diverse, de la rmie mitice la superstiii populare i readaptri ale marilor teme ale fantasticului, autorii menionai transform procesul oglindirii ntr-o cutare a unei lumi de dincolo. Demersul nostru consist de altfel ntr-o analiz a formelor supranaturale pe care le ia motivul oglindei
44 Telciu Summer Conferences, 3rd edition, Telciu, 2014 i a reelei de referine care este construit de autor cu scopul de a ajunge la o mpcare cu idee de mortalitate, de a-i reda realului dimensiunea sacr.
Le rle des objets magiques est exacerb dans le conte fantastique, vu que celui-ci a une trame condense, les dimensions rduites du texte ne permettant pas des descriptions ou des intrigues trop complexes. Dautant plus, ce genre littraire privilgie lusage des formes ekphrastiques, et prte aux objets symboliques, comme les images dart, des caractristiques surnaturelles : tableaux, tapisseries, statues prennent vie et resacralisent ainsi le quotidien. Dans la panoplie de motifs visuels que favorisent les fantastiqueurs, nous incluons aussi llusif reflet dans le miroir. Si des auteurs comme Thophile Gautier ou Georges Rodenbach semblent accorder la glace le statut dobjet dart miroirs de Venise, exposs de muses ou de collection lauteur belge Thomas Owen banalise lobjet en soi et se concentre sur sa signification. Bien que le reflet ne permette pas, lencontre du portrait, lillustration dun moi idalis, cause de sa nature kinsique (v. Jean-Jacques Wunenbuger dans La philosophie des images) il rcupre lhritage des anciennes croyances et, par lintermdiaire du texte littraire, qui sajoutent la dmarche dintrospection et la rvlation des dfauts et de la fltrissure du corps et de lesprit de celui qui sy regarde. En recourant aux moyens et sources des plus diverses, des traces mythiques aux superstitions populaires et radaptations des grands thmes du fantastique, les auteurs mentionns transforment le miroitement dans une qute pour lidentification dun au-del. Notre dmarche consiste en fait dans une analyse des formes du surnaturel que le motif du miroir revt et du rseau de rfrences construit afin dune mise en rgle avec lide de mortalit, afin de redonner une dimension sacre la banalit du rel.

Prolegomena la gravura din crile romneti vechi religioase aprute la Bucureti (1582-1830)/ Prolegomena to engraving in Romanian old books published in Bucharest (1582-1830)
Anca Elisabeta Tatay Biblioteca Academiei Romne, Cluj Napoca Universitatea 1 Decembrie 1918, Alba Iulia
n Bucureti, n perioada 1573 (1582) 1830, au funcionat mai multe tipografii care au scos la lumin aproximativ 350 de cri (n limba romn, greac, arab .a.) cu tematic diferit: bisericeasc, didactic, tiinific, literar etc. Acest numr situeaz Bucuretiul, din punct de vedere numeric, pe locul I ntre toate centrele tipografice care au editat cri romneti n perioada 1508- 1830. Cele mai multe dintre tipriturile bucuretene sunt cri de stran, adesea decorate cu gravuri n lemn. Studiul de fa se dorete a fi o incursiune n cadrul acestor imagini, abordndu-se probleme legate de maniera de realizare sau de sursele de influena.
In Bucharest, in the period between 1573 (1582) 1830, many typographies have operated, which edited approximately 350 books (in Romanian, Greek, Arab etc.) on different topics: the church, teaching, science, literature etc. This number sets Bucharest, on a numerical basis, on the first place among the typographical centers that have edited Romanian books in the years 1508-1830. Most of the prints from Bucharest are ritual books, frequently decorated with wooden engravings. The present study intends to make an incursion within these images, approaching

n cutarea particularitilor naionale i regionale ale artei romnilor transilvneni. Aspecte istoriografice din perioada interbelic/In the search for national and regional particularities of Transylvanian Romanian art. Historiographic aspects from the inter-war period
Valentin Trifescu Universitatea Alexandru-Ioan Cuza, Iai
Pentru Coriolan Petranu, identitatea estetic a romnilor din Transilvania, Banat i Partium a fost dat mai ales de bisericile din lemn. Acestea au reprezentat, n opinia sa, adevrata manifestare vizual a gustului pentru frumos al naiunii romne din teritoriile care au aparinut fostei Coroane ungare. Coriolan Petranu a militat pentru recuperarea i valorizarea ntregii moteniri artistice ardelene materializate la nivelul bisericilor de lemn. Istoricul de art clujean a perceput aceast motenire ca pe o component vie a identitii romnilor ardeleni, care trebuie s fie pstrat, cultivat i ntreinut inclusiv n contextul noilor granie politice i administrative de dup 1918. Mai mult dect att, sub o form mascat, Petranu a luptat de fapt, prin cultivarea modelului bisericilor de lemn din interiorul arcului carpatic, pentru o form de rezisten regional n faa tendinelor de omogenizare estetic survenite dup Unire, prin rspndirea n noile provincii romneti a modelului arhitectural specific Estului moldovenesc i mai ales Sudului muntenesc, n care stilul arhitectural bizantin s-a impus definitiv.
Conferinele de Var de la Telciu, ediia a III-a, Telciu, 2014 47 For Coriolan Petreanu, the esthetical identity of the Romanians from Transylvania, Banat and Partium was assured especially by the wooden churches. These represented, in his opinion, the true visual manifestation of the taste for the beautiful of the Romanian nation from the territories that belonged to the former Hungarian crown. Coriolan Petranu militated for the retrieval and valuation of the entire Transylvanian artistic inheritance materialized in wooden churches. The art historian from Cluj perceived this inheritance as a living component of the identity of Transylvanian Romanians, which must be kept, cultivated and preserved even in the context of the new political and administrative borders after 1918. More than this, in a concealing manner, Petreanu actually fought, by cultivating the model of the wooden churches from inside the Carpathian enclosure, for a form of regional resistance in the face of the esthetic homogenizing tendencies occurring after the Union, through the distribution in the newly acquired Romanian provinces of the architectural style characteristic to the Moldavian east and especially to the Wallachian south, where the byzantine architectural style imposed itself definitively.
De la eztoarea tradiional, la ntlnirile de grup/ From traditional weaving groups, to group meetings
Alexandru Uiuiu Babe-Bolyai University, Cluj
eztoarea tradiional este o ntlnire de grup la care particip generaii diferite, n general vecini, care muncesc i petrec mpreun n serile de iarn, cnd muncile cmpului sunt mai puine. Principalele funcii ale eztorii sunt: funcia economic, funcia de comunicare, funcia de valorizare a faptelor sociale, funcia artistic, funcia de reglare comportamental, funcia ludic
48 Telciu Summer Conferences, 3rd edition, Telciu, 2014 Valorile centrale ale eztorii sunt: grupul munca i distracia n grup, transmiterea de informaii i valori inter- generaional, crearea unei atmosfere spirituale, atenuarea conflictelor interpersonale. Observnd bogia i complexitatea funciilor i valorilor eztorii ne putem da seama c ea corespunde unei nevoi profund i specific umane, aceea de a tri social, n comunicare i comuniune cu semenii. Odat cu dispariia eztorii tradiionale n Romnia i n Europa, nevoia aceasta profund uman s-a ncercat s fie satisfcut formal, prin ntlnirile de grup care reprezint o tehnic larg rspndit de terapie psihologic i informal prin ntlniri ale vecinilor n mediul rural i urban n mod cvasi-aleatoriu. eztoarea tradiional poate fi oferit ca model de comunicare n grup pentru contemporaneitatea aceasta srcit de valori i sensuri i poate sugera c o ntlnire care are puin joc, puin magie, mult comunicare autentic, este o ntlnire reuit.
The traditional weaving group is a group meeting where different generations participate, mainly neighbors, where they work and spend the winter nights together, when work in the fields is scarce. The main functions of the weaving group are: the economical function, the communication function, the social act valuation function, the behavior adjustment function, the ludic function. The central values of the weaving group are: the group group work and group fun, the transmission of intergenerational information and values, the establishment of a spiritual atmosphere, the appeasement of interpersonal conflicts. Observing the richness and complexity of the functions and values of the weaving group we can realize that it corresponds to a specific and profound human need, that of living socially, in good communication and communion with ones fellow man.
Conferinele de Var de la Telciu, ediia a III-a, Telciu, 2014 49 With the disappearance of the traditional weaving group in Romania and Europe, one attempted to satisfy this profoundly human need formally, through group meetings, which are a widely popular psychological therapy technique and informally through neighbor meetings in rural and urban environments in a quasi- random fashion. The traditional weaving group could be offered as a model of group communication for this value impoverished contemporary world and could suggest that a meeting which has some fun, some magic, lots of authentic communication, is an accomplished meeting.
