Culture generates an infinity of signs, whose meanings are shaped in and communicated via texts which, in turn, carry traces of other texts. These dialogic palimpsests which encode representations and allow for a multitude of possible readings ask for interpretative efforts, a part of which are included in Cultural Intertexts.

Intercultural Communication and Literature is an academic journal of the Intercultural Communication and Literature Research Center, which developed within „Dunărea de Jos” University of Galati, Faculty of Letters, based on the annual International Colloquium, a scientific event started in 2006. Ever since then, the published studies have to meet the Journal’s scientific standards, which initially had three issues per year, and a Supplement that includes the Proceedings of the International Conference Culture and Media in the European Area. These scientific standards are correlated with the need for an inter-university cultural dialogue in general, and a literal one, in particular, from the perspective of cultural interference and confluences. From this point of view, the Journal’s research directions and thematic areas have been centered on the relations between language community vs culture community, national literature vs regional literature, literature vs cultural studies and the dialogue between political, social and identitary ideas and literature. Adapting to the new literary and cultural ideas, the Journal Intercultural Communication and Literature proposes and supports, through the above mentioned scientific events, thematic axes on the following topics: culture and Romanian identity, cultural identity and multiculturalism in the XIXth and the XXIst century European space, exilic and diasporic studies, literature in totalitarian and post-totalitarian cultural areas, and the biographical genres: interdisciplinary approaches.

Revista“Riscuri și catastrofe” (Risks and Catastrophes Journal ) is one of the scientific journals of the "Babes-Bolyai” University from Cluj-Napoca, Faculty of Geography, Romania.
The journal has two issues per year and provides for experts from various fields information about terms and concepts related to disasters and risks, and also research results in this area. The understanding of the risk phenomena and processes mechanisms in time and space is achieved through careful research by experts in various fields of science.

The publication presents topics of great scientific interest focused on several issues: conceptual and methodological approaches, geomorphic, climatic and water risk phenomena and processes in Romania and other countries of the world, risks caused by human activities, disaster and risk management etc.
