Abstract

This paper aims to analyse the way in which the concept of Gidian authenticity is received during the interwar. Two main trends are being highlighted: the analysis of the concept proper, in reference to the works of the French novelist (Demostene Botez, Emil Gulian), and the identification of a dialogue between the Gidian works and the novelistic option taken by certain Romanian writers (Camil Petrescu and Mircea Eliade, actually a reference made by G. Călinescu). In addition, starting from Camil Petrescu and Mircea Eliade’s articles on authenticity, complemented with Eugen Simion’s idea formulated in Ficțiunea jurnalului intim [The Fiction of Personal Diary], which construes authenticity as a relative concept that acquires validity with each and every narrative, one notes that Camil Petrescu advocates substantial authenticity, while Mircea Eliade associates the concept with the inauthenticity of the fictional characters and with the insertion of certain Existentialist theories within the novel discourse.

  • Asocierea noțiunilor amintite cu ipostaze ale mentalității pozitiviste, empirice, reprezentative pentru secolul al XIX-lea, când orice descoperire trebuia justificată prin intermediul probelor, chiar și credința în continuitatea sufletului după moarte necesitând documente, sunt forme limitate de receptare a conceptului de experiență din secolul al XX-lea, la baza căruia se află trăirea
