Abstract

The study Convergence Beyond the Ideologies of a Yet Political Arts Censorship identifies similar ways of censoring the arts in the totalitarianisms of the twentieth century, that sought to create the “New Man” through hatred and the denial of alterity. Although the ideologies that used this cultural reductionism were adversaries, in social practice they came closer through their attempts to transform art into political propaganda. Thus, in each case the aim was to perform a collective brain wash, until the execution of the supreme and ideologically correct commands of the moment, even though they were infamous. However, the spread of dogmatism invariably ossifies the parasitic society, preventing it from responding to the complex challenges of reality. And the paralysis of the social body can only lead to an inevitable collapse, as demonstrated by the history of totalitarianism since time immemorial.

Author Biography

  • Cristian Stamatoiu, University of Arts Târgu-Mureș, Romania

    Cristian Stamatoiu is Professor PhD Habil. at the University of Arts from Târgu-Mureş, where he teaches The Hystory of Theatre course, published under the title of Historical Anthroplogy of the Theatrical Reflex Activation (2015). Former lectorate at the University of Strasbourg (France), he approached the means of the cultural anthropology. He asserted himself as a „Caragiale-logist” in continuing the „critical school” of the late Professor V. Fanache (Cluj-Napoca University, Romania). Titles such as: I.L. Caragiale and the Media Pathologies (1999) and The-World-after-Caragiale. His Pattern and his Projection (2003), as well as a multitude of articles published in Romania and abroad, originally highlighted the timeliness of I.L. Caragiale’s works. The critical approach was then accomplished by comparing Caragiale’s characters’ linguistic deficiencies and those of our contemporaries in Communicational ”Weakest Chain” in the World of Caragiale and the World of Today (2017). In this context, the author has also released the critical concept of „Caragiale-world”. He also published the bilingual Romanian/French selection: Popular ”Franco-aphonic” etymologies in the Romanian dramaturgy (2015) and some communications regarding the complexity of the Blagian dramatic and philosophic works
