Copyright and Related Rights on Cinematographic Work: Subjects Covered by the Protection of Cinematographic Work

Dreptul de autor şi drepturi conexe asupra operei

Author(s): Monica Florina Bota Moisin / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2014

Keywords: authorship in cinema law; subjects of copyright in cinema law; presumption of authorship; rights of the director; rights of the actors; Romanian Copyright Law no.8/1996; Berne Convention; EU Copyright Directive

During the past 5 years, the Romanian film industry, as European film, has gained recognition in Cannes, Berlin, and, as paradoxically as it may sound, even in Romania. Nowadays, the world’s 7th Art has generated a business empire that cannot be conceived in the absence of a well-established legislative framework. The international tendency in law consultancy is to provide adequate guidelines for all stakeholders involved in the film-making business. As a premiere for Romania, this paper, the first in a trilogy that tackles Romanian Copyright and Neighbouring Rights in Cinema, specifically addresses the legal status of the cinematographic creation under Romanian Law no.8/1996, namely the issue of the rights and obligations a film product generates for all individuals involved in the creative process: the director, the screenplay author, the actors etc. This article analyses the understanding of the notion of authorship under Romanian Law by comparison with the provisions of the Berne Convention and those of the European Directive 2001/29/EC on the Harmonisation of Certain Aspects of Copyright and Related Rights in the Information Society.

Nicotine Craving and Cue-Exposure Therapy

Author(s): Ioana Monica CIOLAN / Language(s): / Issue: 1/2015

Keywords: cue exposure therapy; virtual reality; smoking dependence; craving; specific stimuli

Smoking is affecting global population, causing different cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, cancer, asthma and kidney problems. Although it can be prevented, smoking is one of the major causes of death all over the world. Smoking is a social activity that depending on the context may have different meanings for smokers even if they are aware of the risks they are exposed. Smokers may use different methods of intervention to help them get rid of nicotine addiction. One method is referring to the cue exposure therapy performed using virtual reality. Virtual reality is a new technology used in the treatment of nicotine addiction that involves immersing smokers in environments with specific stimuli in order to reduce the level of craving. This article aims to present the main environments that cause smokers from Romania to feel a greater desire to smoke compared to other environments. Identification of specific stimuli in front of which smokers experience a higher level of craving is the first important step in designing interventions that are based on cue exposure therapy through virtual reality.

Protection of elements of traditional-identity inspiration in product design. IA (Romanian blouse) – object of protection under intellectual property cultural rights

Protecția elementelor de inspirație tradițional-identitară în designul de produs. Ía – obiect al protecției prin drepturile de proprietate culturală intelectuală

Author(s): Monica Florina Boța-Moisin / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 3 (48)/2016

Keywords: cultural intellectual property; sui-generis form of legal protection; IA; the Romanian Blouse; cultural brand; cultural identity design; public international law; Paris Convention on the Protection an

In view of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions autochthonous elements of identity design fall in the category of cultural goods. IA – the Romanian Blouse is such an element.This paper proposes the design and implementation of a protection system dedicated to safeguarding and promoting o the Romanian Blouse through mechanisms that ensure authenticity, encourage creativity and innovation with respect of national identity, and translate economically the cultural value of tradition.The discussion is placed in the field of public international law and calls for the development of cultural intellectual property, as an individual branch of law, within the Romanian legal system.In supporting the development of a dedicated legal protection mechanism for this Romanian element of ancestral fashion, the paper show-cases the recurrent violations of cultural intellectual property law in today’s society and draws attention to possible legal solutions for eliminating such behaviours. Finally, the paper calls for the design and implementation of a sui-generis form of intellectual property protection of the Romanian Blouse as a cultural good, pertaining to the field of cultural intellectual property. In this endeavour of legal design one should follow a similar logic to that of the right to self-determination. This entire system should be built as a mechanism of intellectual property protection, granting its collective holder a cultural intellectual property right susceptible of monetization, as well as all prerogatives specific to intellectual property rights in general.This paper should be regarded as an introduction in the complex issue of the legal protection of the Romanian Blouse.

Marie de France’s Eliduc – A Repentant Sinner. Guildeluec’s Cultural Memory as a Means of Spiritual Progress

Marie de France’s Eliduc – A Repentant Sinner. Guildeluec’s Cultural Memory as a Means of Spiritual Progress

Author(s): Monica Oanca / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2015

Keywords: medieval civilization;women's writings;courtly love;Christian tradition;French literature;

In this article I want to discuss the importance of cultural memory within the plot of one of the lais written by Marie de France and to show that the character who is the “custodian” of cultural memory is also the one who can solve the crisis brought about by the other characters’ alienation from traditions. I will argue that this cultural background is the Christian tradition, which is completed by, and not opposed to, some pre-Christian (profoundly natural, rather than super-natural) knowledge, which precedes the cultural one. I will use Jan Assmann’s theory on cultural memory, in order to identify the elements of the cultural background which is defining for Eliduc, the longest lai written by Marie de France. Discussing the issue of cultural memory in this lai is relevant, as the scholar can identify the source of Guildeluec’s superiority, namely her position of guardian of cultural memory. The elements of the cultural memory: Christian principles, Celtic heritage and popular knowledge, work harmoniously to bring about the spiritual progress of all the characters.

Cultural Meanings of Figurative Speech in Contemporary Caribbean British Poetry

Cultural Meanings of Figurative Speech in Contemporary Caribbean British Poetry

Author(s): Monica Manolachi / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2012

Keywords: Caribbean British poetry;multiculturalism;transculturalism;cosmopolitanism;David Dabydeen;Grace Nichols;John Agard

This essay combines close reading and contemporary cultural theories, in order to explore several figurative patterns in which individual and collective identity are shaped in contemporary Caribbean British poetry. In the context of the post-war multicultural Great Britain and of the transatlantic cultural traffic connected with the Caribbean, the poetic discourse has become a site of cultural negotiation and visionary expression. It will be shown that none of the values associated with multiculturalism, transculturalism or cosmopolitanism are taken as fixed, but they are rather options and positions on the continuum global-local, as well as facets of an emerging complex cultural reality. The authors included in the present analysis – three Guyanese poets, David Dabydeen, Grace Nichols and John Agard, and the Barbadian Dorothea Smartt – display a great awareness of contemporary cultural change, best rendered using a culturally hybrid poetic language.

Technical Text Selection Criteria for ESP Materials

Author(s): Monica Negoescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2018

Keywords: ESP; text selection; textbooks; authentic materials; technical students.

The broadening of the geographical frontiers of the European Union brings new opportunities, the number of the foreign investors in Romania is higher every day, the country’s relationship with other European countries, and not only with them, are more and more developed. Thus, we can assume that the professionals (irrespective of the domain) with a higher education degree wish to have access to highly qualified jobs, which means they have to meet not only the technical professional requirements but also the collateral ones, like the access to specialized information in a foreign language. To have access to this type of information, the technical student needs to get familiarized with the specialized vocabulary and its particularities which can be acquired only within an academic environment with specialized teachers. It is the goal of this article to present a few criteria of choosing/developing teaching materials for ESP based on the author’s experience.

Author(s): Florentina Burlacu / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2017

Keywords: Quality of life; human development; human resources; material deprivation rate; Romania;

Human resources are essential to the economic development of a country. In order to have high quality human resources that are competitive on the labour market, it is imperative that the population has a high quality of life standard. The indicators for measuring the level of human development are the health status, the educational level and the material living conditions. From this latter category we analyzed the material deprivation rate, an indicator that reflects the shortages that a population faces. In the end we briefly present the situation of the quality of life in Romania.

Due to the explosion of new industry branches, new technical specializationsand new technologies that need to be made internationally known, the importance of thetechnical translations increases by the day.

Considerations on Simultaneous Interpretation

Considerations on Simultaneous Interpretation

Author(s): Monica Negoescu,Delia Rusu / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2021

Keywords: simultaneous interpretation; strategies; errors of meaning; interpreter;

The idea of writing an article on how to send a message from one language to another in interpreting dialogues primarily based on technical content came to us in the national context of accreditations of doctoral schools at the level of universities in ourcountry. Our personal interest in exploring the realm of simultaneous interpretations which, in all honesty, we considered a real challenge for our everyday profession as teachers, has led us into this attempt of defining the mission of the translator – obviously different from that of a language teacher – and the difficulties that may arise in simultaneous interpretations as compared to the written ones. The present paper is far from being an exhaustive research of the difficult mission that an interpreter has, moreover that the degree of difficulty should be judged according to the discourse genre, but it aims to shed light on those aspects or strategies that could help the translator prepare for this mission, especially when it is about a rare attempt of this kind, as our case was.

Reflection of Marvel’s Spider-Man Games in the Context of Current and Upcoming Media Trends

Author(s): Zdenko Mago / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2021

Keywords: Digital Games; In-Game Advertising; Multiverse; Popular Culture; Spider-Man; Superhero;

Spider-Man, as one of the most famous and popular comic superheroes, has been adapted into digital games since the early 1980s. Recent movies about (or including) Spider-Man paid even more attention to this superhero, making him an eventual centre in the further development of pop-cultural artefacts. The study analyses digital-game adaptations of Spider-Man in order to reflect current and upcoming trends within media set by popular culture, including the impact of license rights ownership and the forthcoming plan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The study focuses particularly on aspects concerning the cross- and transmedia storytelling and in-game advertising, or rather its absence, in Marvel’s Spider-Man digital games as possible indicators of these trends, while applying the gaming platform to analysis as an additional factor.

Mind-changing Perspectives on Education: A Content Analysis of Young People’s Storytelling-based Interviews

Author(s): Alina Resceanu,Monica Tilea,Ion Resceanu / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2021

Keywords: storytelling; interview; content-based analysis; active engagement; transversal competences;

This article is based on the results obtained in our research activity carried out in the framework of the project Mind changers: Regions and Youth for Planet and People, funded through the European Commission's Development Education and Awareness Raising Programme (DEAR). The overall aim of the article is linked to the project’s main objective: to increase young people’s engagement in actions for change with regard to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at regional level. Taking into consideration that youth active participation and youth empowerment have become much-debated topics nowadays, it is important to identify the elements that could stimulate or hinder it in community activities at regional level. To this aim, we conducted an interview-based kind of research with young people from Dolj County, based on their high level of active engagement. The participants were identified with the help of the representatives of regional civil society organisations (CSOs) they work or collaborate with. The text corpus of the interviews resulted after transcription and translation into English was analysed using open coding (Straussand Corbin, 1990: 69; Creswell, 2015: 429; Cohen et al. 2018: 671) and content analysis to delimit elements that could later be used in educating young mind changers. We grouped the codes under different categories and only discussed the category related to ‘education’ in this article, with the aim to find out how education could encourage and contribute to youth engagement.
