I believe that it has been more than 15, if not quite soon, even 20 years since Codrin Liviu Cutitaru, a famous Englishman, Professor letters Yasene, for some time even the dean of the faculty, claims An old dilemma header column Present continuous. Whose topics are most often inspired by the author’s university experience. An academician who, according to the good tradition of Karagial, has a wonderful sense of and terrible vision of what surrounds him.

The above column was eventually joined by a weekly plate from Iasi newspaper. Articles on English literature issues are also associated here with delicious texts about the avatars of university life. I would consider them texts with a sanitary function. Even dismissal. Because, unfortunately, not everything that happens at the university is beautiful. Very often it is not even normal anymore. And this lack of normality is presented to us in a hyperbolized, excessively expanded manner in the tablets of the teacher from Iasi.

In 2017, the same Codrin published Liviu Cutitaru in a prestigious publishing house Polisher a novel entitled Writer or Book of Wonderful Transformations. All this together turned out to be so many arguments in favor of those who see in the recognized exegete of Victorian and American literature the Romanian correspondent, the undisputed connoisseur of university literature, the Englishman David Lodge.

In comparisons with the author of the novel Work! no doubt the volume will also tell Scenes from the life of a university studentappeared in the fall of 2023 on June. And this time the comparisons are unjustified. However, the fact does not prevent me, and not only because I have been a teacher of French literature all my life, first of all to see in Codrin Liviu Cutitara a wonderful constructive new. human comedies. Surprised, as in the works of Balzac, c studied and in scenes More than 600 pages of book researcher, x-ray, with humor, irony and especially with high self-irony describe other ways of manifesting what was once called an author. plural person. Ways that have been perfected, but seem to have taken on even more comical, even more grotesque aspects, but are certainly more disturbing in the past years of the pandemic, like in some sad failure of concept Educated Romania.

Who and what is meant by the concept how many men So let’s, like good teachers, respect the commas and quotation marks of the beautiful academic rules Bibliography. More precisely, the book of the same name is also thanks to Professor Codrin Livius Kutitar. Appeared in 2021 also on June. In the preface of which we can read that “A plural person he is a versatile postmodern academic, a fascinating and enigmatic character at the same time. The bias of its structural rigor will be largely deconstructed here. I would like the audience of these adventures to eventually fall in love with an unusual collective hero born not yesterday inside our complex educational mechanism…”

The operation of deconstruction continues consistently in the latter as well Scenes…. Could this somehow mean that Professor Kutitaru would start repeating himself? That the undoubted writer in it somehow chronically lacks themes? Not almost. In addition to the purposeful and guiding tone of the book, Codrin Liviu Cutitaru compiles a tremendous account of all kinds of deviations that the honest Romanian scientist has to face almost every day. And who also sometimes ended up being an abnormal being. I will list only a few of them here. Fake reform projects. Gross incompetence of the ministers of education. Disgusting persistence in the formula of one step forward, two back. Long rule of bureaucracy. More and more aberrant bottomless forms. Fake university democracy. Reverse selection. Lies are hidden in quantitative reports, unfortunately, increasingly in so-called scientific articles published in so-called academic journals indexed by BDI or ISI. The sick architecture of the university hierarchy, which is almost independent of values. CNADTCU’s apparently harsh and impractical grids, more resourceful everywhere else counterfeit. Chronic lack of resources. The thirst for money has become the rule of existence. financing per capita has become today a guarantee of failure and poor quality. The fragile, shaky structure of the scientific resistance of doctoral students appeared like mushrooms after the rain. The spread of false innovation has been embodied in baseless specializations and academic skills, in the flourishing of plagiarism, which no one not only cannot, but, unfortunately, does not really want to eradicate.

Englishman Codrin Liviu Kutitaru does not deny himself. As a colleague, a man ready to tell, but also to listen to all kinds of stories, he takes upon himself, either by request or voluntarily, the role of Horatio, who records on his tablets the tragedies or comedies of the new Hamlet. Who finished his university studies, maybe not necessarily in Wittenberg, became a teacher or professor by competition, if not, he goes through the misfortune of retiring as a teacher, and now he is called – and this is one of the strengths of these works – ba Pravoslavina Țăcănel, from Coreea Mezaleea Patlăgină, from Tristan Maimurelu and Romero Căpșunel, from Nucu Mortifai, from Pontserrat Babanné. Or Yanku Parmenides, Florelle Apevier, the teacher we assure you you can’t go to with flowers, Miorlette Miorleanu (the book is full of cats and their friends), Metragun Shorikaru, Pastragush Bodega, Miralian Ponos. And the list is much, infinitely richer.

In this way, it can continue to mark all kinds of more or less honest people, says Caragiale, who only the good God and the narrator know for what reasons end up walking the streets, becoming clinical cases, being picked up, picked up by ambulances and who are convinced that their vinyls can be assessed only by the aforementioned CNATDCU. _Read the entire article and comment on Contributors.ro
