Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review

Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review

Frequency: 4 issues / Country: Romania

The end of the Cold War, and the extinction of communism both as an ideology and a practice of government, not only have made possible an unparalleled experiment in building a democratic order in Central and Eastern Europe, but have opened up a most extraordinary intellectual opportunity: to understand, compare and eventually appraise what had previously been neither understandable nor comparable. Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review was established in the realization that the problems and concerns of both new and old democracies are beginning to converge. The journal fosters the work of the first generations of Romanian political scientists permeated by a sense of critical engagement with European and American intellectual and political traditions that inspired and explained the modern notions of democracy, pluralism, political liberty, individual freedom, and civil rights. Believing that ideas do matter, the Editors share a common commitment as intellectuals and scholars to try to shed light on the major political problems facing Romania, a country that has recently undergone unprecedented political and social changes. They think of Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review as a challenge and a mandate to be involved in scholarly issues of fundamental importance, related not only to the democratization of Romanian polity and politics, to the great transformation that is taking place in Central and Eastern Europe, but also to the make-over of the assumptions and prospects of their discipline. They hope to be joined in by those scholars in other countries who feel that the demise of communism calls for a new political science able to reassess the very foundations of democratic ideals and procedures. The Department of Political Science at the University of Bucharest was founded in 1991 with the purpose to act as a focal point for training and research in political science. The Department offers its over one thousand undergraduate students a full curriculum in three languages: English, French and Romanian. The Department fosters the highest standards of scholarly inquiry while addressing issues of major political and social concern in the fields of political theory, comparative politics, Romanian politics, international relations and European government ands policies. The Department benefits from an exchange of students, and, occasionally, faculty with numerous universities in France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Canada and the United States. Several members of the faculty went on to serve as high officials and policy advisors for different post-communist administrations, whereas others helped transform the scope and methods of political science in Romanian academia.

The French Department’s Student Research Group Journal

Revista Cercurilor studenţeşti ale Departamentului de Limba şi Literatura Franceză (RCSDLLF)

Frequency: 1 issues / Country: Romania

Hosted by the Bucharest University Press, Revista Cercurilor studenţeşti ale Departamentului de Limba şi Literatura Franceză (RCSDLLF) – ‘The French Department’s Student Research Group Journal’ – is a yearly publication of the French Language and Literature Department (Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures, University of Bucharest), founded in 2012 and opened to contributors among the students of all 3 education degrees the Department provides (bachelor’s degree – licence, master’s degree and doctorate). The journal gathers the best papers authored by members of the Department’s five student scientific research groups: French Literature, Culture and Civilization; French theoretical and applied linguistics; ContrasTER (Contrastive analysis, specialized translations and terminology), CENTRAL (literary translations), and The extreme contemporary literature: the Prix Goncourt. Selections by Romanian Students (a research group organized around the works of the Bucharest Jury that designates the Romanian laureate of the Prix Goncourt, an international cultural event the French Language and Literature Department is part of since 2013). Other contributions presented by our students in all kinds of national or international scientific events are also included. Each contribution is validated by an expert who officially endorses its coordination as well as by a prestigious international scientific committee.

During the past years, RCSDLLF – a unique undertaking in student scientific research on the international level – set rather high standards of excellence for the youngest generation of true researchers, and it was recognized as such not only in Romania, but also abroad. In effect, the journal gained more and more international visibility due to the direct involvement of the French Language and Literature Department, through some elite student teams, in the Jury for the Goncourt Prize. Since 2017, the journal is also open to contributors from other French departments in Romanian universities.

RCSDLLF is a special presence in the landscape of Romanian humanities journals due to the young age of both its authors and of its target audience (bachelor’s degree students, master students or doctoral students). While still very young (most of them just earned their bachelor’s degree), the authors exhibit exceptionally mature analytical and hermeneutical skills, and their papers set genuinely top standards in scientific research that benefit all their colleagues (the main readership of the journal).

All contributions are written in French. Website: http://old.unibuc.ro/depts/limbi/literatura_franceza/cerc-stud-ale-depa/revi-cerc-stud-ale-depa-de-limb-si-lite-fran-rcsd/

Women’s Voices in Post-Communist Eastern Europe (Vol I)

Women’s Voices in Post-Communist Eastern Europe (Vol I)

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: Eastern European women; post-socialist period; Eastern European women writers;

This volume springs partially from a wish to fill a gap in knowledge: Eastern and Central European countries know little about each other’s literatures. School curricula in the region include ‘the world classics’ but, with few exceptions, fail to refer to literature produced in the neighbouring countries. If we adopt a wide definition o f w hat E astern Europe means (which this volume does), there is one important exception to this rule: the presence of classic Russian literature by authors of indisputable fame such as Tolstoy, Pushkin and Dostoevsky. Promoted by political dogma that was initially shaped by the dictates of Soviet Russia and hence generally favourable to all things Russian, the Russian classics w ere widely read in communist governed countries. There are also discrete exceptions from the literatures of other countries - Mickiewicz, Sienkiewicz, Kafka, and Hasek for example - however the reading audience can seldom place such works within an appropriate frame of reference, that is, within the social and literary histories from which they emerged. The reason is ignorance, not always of the works, but of the context around them. This can be attributed to the isolation of national cultures which was encouraged by the communist regime in some countries in the region, and a levelling of differences within the all-inclusive universalist discourse of communism itself.

Women’s Voices in Post-Communist Eastern Europe (Vol II)

Women’s Voices in Post-Communist Eastern Europe (Vol II)

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: Eastern European wmen’s literature; communism; patriarchal norm;

This volume is the second o f a collection of critical essays on Eastern European women’s literature after the fall of the communist regime. The first volume, Rewriting Histories, published last year, focuses on the need to retrieve personal perceptions of the history of women’s experiences under communism and tries to bridge the gap between a now and a then whose memory is still felt as traumatic. The essays in the current volume, whilst still deeply marked by this historical dimension, open up the perspective to a wider variety of issues by focusing more on representations of body-related experiences. A special emphasis is placed on the body as a site of knowledge-formation and of liberation from and resistance to patriarchal norm in its relation to communism. A characteristic of most essays is their focus on local interpretations and close readings, whilst theory is given comparatively less weight. The lack of an Eastern European-specific feminist theory and the rather indiscriminate borrowing of theories coming from Western Europe and the United States, which often did not match realities in the region, was the cause of much lament for feminism in Eastern Europe in the early post-communist years. More recently, as these essays suggest, attention to the local, to the mechanisms of texts in their relationships with contexts and an urge to historicise experience seem to have left the older propensity for theoretical discourse behind.The essays in this volume examine this local dimension through focusing on embodied knowledge production and representations of the female self in a comparative perspective, which reads contemporary experience against the background of the still present traumatic memory of the communist regime. Whilst trauma must be overcome so that historical evolution may be possible, such evolution cannot take place unless the negative experiences of the communist years are articulated and owned.
