Summary:

He will not be here to make yet another comment about a work which is already widely discussed, showing the contributions of thereligious historian regarding the understanding of religious phenomena or theexperience of the sacred, but rather to try to extract work from the materialneeded to build a liberating way for the individual with a hypermodernistattitude. Even more than an alternative path of salvation in the religious sense,it is a revolution of the human being, who has been shrugged off of all hisillusions about politics, world trading, egotistic exchange that takes shapewithin what we call the "eliadean system". We know about the similaritiesbetween Mircea Eliade's and Corneliu Zelea Codreanu's new man, but we musttranscend this identification corresponding to a particular historical contextand review the work of the religious historian to overcome any collusion withany particular political ideology. In a similar manner, we try to show that alarge part of his work - if not all - goes beyond the development of a "newhumanism" and traces a possible path for the insurrection of man by a return to his own center. Therefore, Mircea Eliade would not be the voice of arevolutionary vanguard guiding the man, but the inspiration of a completerevolution of the man who is beyond the world of the technician and of themercantile illusion, which takes place in its "cosmic utterness". Thus, Eliade'swork would carry the answers that can lead us to the end of the night of theillusions of materialistic societies and would predict an insurrection of the realbeing, of the quality who dares to face the reign of quantity and fragmentation,in order to permanently abolish it by a metanoia. So, the work of the Romanianscientist certainly announces - to be sure indirectly - the end of all ideologiesand brings all the stones for the construction of a "non-ideology" or "nonphilosophy"that exceeds all religious and political categories, the base of anew society: a community of the real being. In other words, when talking about his work, Eliade tells us how this nostalgia of origins can be sublimated and become a source of renewal and absolute, leading us to think about the modern world and all its paroxystic extensions as being a historical parenthesis, hopeless, destined to be abolished, in order to make way for the man exempted of his alienation, free from all possible burdens: the membership to a social class, varied delusional beliefs, narcissism and self-hate, death anxiety, adoration of immediacy...

Summary:	Through the significant example of a village called Cărpiniş, located in the Southern Carpathians, this article aims to show the existence of a social , spatial and cultural opposition in search of a complementary way to organize the space linked to a “traditional mentality” or that could be considered as such, and facilities at odds with this vision, according to the views of the “farmer villager”. A “farmer villager” who sees himself as a “native” in comparison with the others that is to say the “foreigners”. We emphasize the concept of a“hybrid village” to describe the changes that have been taking place in this village of the Transylvanian countryside for decades. We are going to argue that these social and spacial upheavals are related to the emergence of new lifestyles, new ways of grasping space and time. Our work is necessarily part of a multiscalar logic. Once the issues of our study described, we will present the situation of the village of Cărpiniş part of the Romanian space. Then we will focus on the rather singular socio-spatial setting, of this village compared to other Romanian villages: a village held between the “checkerboard” and the “village street”. So it is, may be through a “green space” community, named “Poiana”, a unifying axis of socio-spatial practices of the village, that lies the originality of this village “in the shadow of the southern Carpathians”. We will see through the questioning of this community nature of 'Poiana' by liberal land policy, and in fact by the arrival of new residents in door-to-fake, in most cases with the “values” of this rural area, that it’s a great part of the “closed" village solidarity which tends to disappear gradually. We will have previously issued a definition of what is a “village” in Romania, then by changing our scaling analysis we will focus on a different spatial and social unit called “gospodarie” or “Maisnie”. Then we will look into the way the older villagers designed their house. A design related as much to economic imperatives as to a fulfillment of a “cosmic order” linked to a “primordial tradition”. Before, it seems of the utmost importance to mention the life of a “farmer-villager” of Transylvania from 1945 to 2012. The analysis of the career of this native and his fellows shows what seems to us to be a struggle to preserve his identity and a particular conception of time and spacethat we will qualify as “mythical and traditional”. This relationship to the world of the “farmer villager” is in opposition to postmodernity which forces quickly and rather radically a new socio-spatial and moral order to the Transylvanian village. Nevertheless, we will see that in many respects, the village retains some “mythical, "transhistorical"aspects”, We will therefore insist on the fact that these changes are not only “material”, but also symbolical. It is the mental space of the farmer villager which is upset here, and brings about the formation of an
