Thus, the purpose of this essay is to emphasize / demonstrate the fact that the poetic finality of the creation of worlds motivates even the linguistic structures, and the poetic meaning is vertebrated by, but also beyond the linguistic “material”. In the articulation of Blaga’s poetics, the exegete finds important the adversative structure as strategies of establishing the poetic tension and polarization of the world newly created. The other perspective is that of Mircea Scarlat, from The History of Romanian Poetry (vol. The first outlook that this essay will focus on the linguist and poetician from Cluj, Mircea Borcilă, with his esteemed article from 1987 (Contribuţii la elaborarea unei tipologii a textelor poetice). This paper starts from the theoretical support of some central figures in the field of study of Lucian Blaga’s works: Mircea Borcilă and Mircea Scarlat. The purpose of this delimiting is to establish which are the areas that are more responsive to the manifestation of the self-colonizing phenomenon. The last argument broadens the scope of the demonstration in the sense that the analysis focuses on social and economic delimiting. The second one brings to the fore Mihail Kogălniceanu and Titu Maiorescu’s profiles, their discourses being characterized by clumsiness and flaws so typical for a culture found in an early stage of its development. The way the first two emphasize the role of imitation, the necessity of adopting the foreign models and the way Gherea treats the dependence upon the West under an economic report, represent, briefly, the center of the first part of the demonstration. Dobrogeanu-Gherea highlight, firstly, some of the characteristics of this self-subordination relation.

The demonstration of this hypothesis consists of three arguments. The article opens with the conceptual delimiting of the phenomenon imposed by the Bulgarian theoretician and with the hypothesis that Romanian culture can be attributed to self-colonizing cultures. This study aims to analyze the Romanian critical discourses of the second half of the 19 th century and especially of the first half of the 20 th century, starting from the central concept of “self-colonization”, coined by Alexander Kiossev.
