루치안 블라가(Lucian Blaga)의『文化 三部作 Trilogia Culturii』에 대한 해석과 비평

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Lucian Blaga, one of the greatest Romanian poets and philosophers, established the “stylistic matrix” of Romanian spirituality in his essay, 『Spatiul Mioritic, The Mioritic Space, 1936』. A first category deal with the nostalgia of the native land and Romanian culture. For those who have even a summary knowledge of Romanian culture, the popular ballad <Mioriţa, Kind Sheep> is a beginning point. Starting from it, The Romanians were born in a “The Mioritic Space”, a pastorale space, that acts for them as a “matrix”, moulding their sensitivity. The “Mioriţa” ballad contains a specifical Romanian philosophical outlook, a “Mioritic” outlook on death, a Romanian “Weltanschauung”. The Romanians, the ballad implies, saw life as a cosmic wedding, a ritual involving the whole nature. Blaga regarded these ballads as the ‘Plai’ (the ridge or slope of a hill usually covered with meadows) of the Mioritic Space. However, the ‘Plai’ is more than topography, it is a symbol of the Romanian environment where the unconscious cultural development of the national identity occurred. He argued that the ballads of Miorita were reflected in the Romanian landscape. The alternation of accented and unaccented syllables throughout the poetry represented the layout of the Romanian environment. The unique arrangement of Romanian peasant houses separated by green fields were the unaccented syllables of the ballads. Although it appears that Blaga was using the landscape to define the collective identity of Romanians, he did emphasize that the relationship was more profound. For example, even though the Romanians had a sense of dwelling in the Mioritic Space they might actually have been living on the great plain in Wallachia. In cases like this, the folk song took the place of the ‘Plai’. Just as the Romanian was governed by the Mioritic Space, the Saxon inhabiting the same land was still dominated by the “Gothic Space” inherited from their ancestors.
The mysticism and spirituality surrounding Blaga's theory of the Mioritic Space was also transposed into the religious arena. The originality of the Romanian spirit came from the derivations from Orthodox dogma brought about in semi-pagan folklore and the stylistic elements that differentiated Romanians from their Bulgarian and Serb co-religionists manifested themselves most strongly in the productions of folk poets and artists. Consequently, self-definition through the cultural unconscious of Romanians established a unique perception of “Romanianness.”
Lucian Blaga provided a complex theory which united the origins of the Romanian nation into a national identity constructed by the Romanians themselves and moulded from a combination of culture and the environment. ‘Mioriţa’, in its various mythical and symbolic forms, would appear to epitomize “Romanianness,” and Blaga's theory identified Romanians as Romanians at a time when their national identity had been written and rewritten as an apolitical object.
Unfortunately, Blaga's philosophy has never received the same attention as his poetry, leaving his theory of the Mioritic Space largely a project for academic debate.
