This paper discusses Maria Racu’s exegetical volume - The Thanatotic Imaginary in the Lyric of George Bacovia and Ion Minulescu. The theme addressed by the author, perhaps more topical than ever, illustrates the symbolic representations of the imaginary of death/Thanatos in the poetry of our two poets: George Bacovia and Ion Minulescu. This article follows Maria Racu’s research approach, identifying the reading grids and the aspects of novelty in the space of the literary imaginary. The directions of analysis will include images of temporality, Bacovian space and hypostases of the erotic in Minulescu’s poems, as well as catamorphic symbols in symbolist poetry.

Sociologist Constantin Schifirneţ is a researcher who constantly draws attention on studies and advanced ideas. Lately, the same thing happened with Tendential Modernity. Reflections about modern evolution of society (Tritonic Publishing House, Bucharest, 2016, 199 p.). Through the proposed perspective, but also by the depth of the research, we consider this paper as a work of reference, especially since the ideas that generated it are the result of long reflections on modernity.
