The Sacred in Literature and Arts

Abstract

The dimension of the sacred in contemporary literature and arts is a challenge which has managed to captivate us to such an extent that we have decided to analyze it systematically, starting from the book of Adrian Stoleriu. As far as the literary part is concerned, we have chosen the author of the first Romanian catechetical realistic novel, Professor Cornel Constantin Ciomâzgă, with his first two books, “Lucrarea” (“The Work”) and the one we have translated, “Se întorc morţii acasă” (“The Dead Are Coming Back Home”). Regarding the part related to arts, we have identified the motif of the sacred in works of art that belong to different artistic movements, and we will also refer to the vision of the contemporary group “Prologue”, thus offering an interdisciplinary approach of the topic.
