About tefania Golopen ia and the Recovery of the Activity of the Sociological School in Bucharest

In this section, historian of sociology tefan Costea as well as former students such as historian of literature Cornelia tef nescu, novelists Maya Belciu and Nora Iuga, and Dr. Theodor Stihi and Sanda Orghidan Mih escu recall the figure of tefania Cristescu Golopen ia as a sociologist and as a professor of Romanian language and literature. tef nescu, Belciu (in whose novel Are the Americans Coming?... Postponed Destiny, tefania Cristescu figures as a character) and Iuga were among the first students of St.C.G. at the end of the thirties or the beginning of the forties. Stihi and Orghidan recall the last years of her teaching career at the beginning of the sixties. tefan Costea speaks of t.C.G.'s retirement years, when she tried to publish both a selection of the works of her husband, sociologist Anton Golopen ia (tragically suppressed in the communist prisons in 1951), as well as the first anthology of letters addressed by A.G. to members of the Sociological School of Bucharest. Both volumes were published more than twenty years after t.C.-G.'s death.
