EUGEN LOVINESCU ȘI TEORIA SINCRONISMULUI LA CENTENAR. O ANALIZĂ INTERDISCIPLINARĂ

Rezumat

Eugen Lovinescu, in the same way as Titu Maiorescu, was a literary critic. If in 1868, Titu Maiorescu believed that the Romanians were imitating the West and gave birth to the theory of forms without a background, 56 years later, in 1924, Eugen Lovinescu created the theory of synchronism. That is, Romanian society was at the same time as Western society, from the point of view of the elite, the state, the economy and even society. He started from the concepts launched by the French sociologist Gabriel Tarde. The past century since the launch of this theory, leads us to analyze its importance and to see now at what stage we are, if we can still speak of a synchronism between Romanian society and the West.
