The Way of… the Wise. Mircea Eliade – Nicolae Steinhardt

În genul… înţelepţilor Mircea Eliade – Nicolae Steinhardt

Author(s): Adrian Boldisor / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 08/2012

Keywords: Mircea Eliade; Nicolae Steinhardt; the trial of intellectuals; Romanian culture; Christian spirituality

In this study, we want to analyze the relation between two Romanian internationally-renowned men of culture: Mircea Eliade (often considered one of the greatest historians of religion of all times) and Nicolae Steinhardt (whose name and memory have been mentioned by Pope John the Second in his visit in Romania). Though they had about the same age (a difference of 5 years), they had little connections in the interwar period (a few meetings and, later, Steinhardt’s volume The Way of… the Young [În genul… tinerilor] from 1934, where he parodies Eliade, among others). A strong infl uence (which changed destinies) occurred during 1958-1960, when Steinhardt was imprisoned for having read and spread writings of Romanians found in exile, including the novel Midsummer Night (The Forbidden Forest) [Noaptea de Sânziene (Pădurea interzisă)] by Eliade. After the release in 1964, Steinhardt was continuously watched by the communist Securitate and reports have been written about him, where his main guilt was his friendship with Mircea Eliade, Emil Cioran, Eugen Ionescu, Virgil Ierunca, Monica Lovinescu, et al. Beyond these biographical intersections between Eliade and Steinhardt, there are also connections with regard to the Romanian culture, literary ideas, and visions on religious life. Steinhardt brings appreciations to the scholar in Chicago for the fact that he presents the beauty of the Romanian culture in the Western desecrated world and considers Eliade – and he’s one of the few who does this – infl uenced in his thinking by Christian ideals (in this direction, memorable are Steinhardt’s appreciations of the role played by Eliade in the Western culture, especially with his volume From Zamolxis to Genghis-Kahn [De la Zalmoxis la Genghis-Han], but also with his fi ction, marking a direct reference to the novella A Fourteen Year Old Photograph [O fotografi e veche de 14 ani])

Romanian literary critics, theoreticians, and historians in the world

Romanian literary critics, theoreticians, and historians in the world

Author(s): Libuša Vajdová / Language(s): / Issue: 2/2015

Keywords: Monolingualism; Multiligualism; History of literature; Cultural institutions in exile; Literary criticism; theory; and history in exile; Contributions of Romanian criticism and theory of literature

The following text is based upon research of Romanian literary criticism and literary history, written and published by a range of personalities of Romanian origin outside the context of Romania. The contemporary discussions in the Romanian literary environment focus on literature by exiled authors, while literary theory and criticism receives little attention. Few realise that it is exile literary criticism in particular that has contributed to the spreading of awareness about the work of Romanian exile writers abroad. Exilic literary criticism of Romanian writers has, however, made an impact in scholarly circles. It has contributed to the diversification of literary studies abroad and continues to direct its interests and orientation. It is not an accident that it is the writing from the outside, from discourses outside of the established canon and frames of scholarship, that was able to relax its norms and widen the thinking about literature towards less-known aspects. Scholars of Romanian origin must be recognised as belonging among those literary critics, scholars, and historians who in the last decades have most significantly contributed to the discourse of literary scholarship in the world.

« Female », « Feminity », « Woman »: the condition of woman in Le Sermon sur la chute de Rome by Jérôme Ferrari

« Féminin », « Féminité », « Femme »: la condition féminine dans Le Sermon sur la chute de Rome de Jérôme Ferrari

Author(s): Monica Hărşan / Language(s): / Issue: 1/2015

Keywords: cultural paradigm; phallocentrism; dominating pattern; sexual liberation

The present article aims at analysing, in Jérôme Ferrari’s novel « Le sermon sur la chute de Rome » / ‘The Sermon about the Fall of Rome’, the feminine condition and its relationship to different cultural paradigms, throughout the 20th century. The novel follows the destiny of a Corsican family, along four generations; the individual trajectories, outlined on the sociohistorical background, reflect the successive roles played by women in different stages of society: “mother and housewife” (in pre-modern society); “individualist woman” (in the beginning of Modernity); “liberated woman” and “career woman” (during the mature Modernity).

About the „Eminescian Dualism”

Despre „dualismul eminescian”

Author(s): Adrian Dinu Rachieru / Language(s): / Issue: 11/2013

Keywords: the “Eminescu issue”; journalism / poetry dualism; parallel vocation; contextual reading; canonical centrality

Without exhausting the so-called Eminescu Issue, it is well known that its canonical centrality maintains an odd swing between the idolatrous treatment and a cyclic contestatory fever, thus, ensuring (by researching his masterpiece) a piously museal respect for the great poet and journalist, as well as a vivid and benefic-polemic interest. Set under the antithesis sign, Eminescu's personality unveils for some exegetes “the drama of the cleft self”, while other researchers identify a series of explicative invariants and emphasize unity itself – the inner coherence of a masterpiece. By regrettably ignoring the complementarity of poetry and journalism during the Eminescian creative labor, the disjunction of the two terms appeared “unexplainable” to E. Lovinescu, as journalism was considered to be an “error”. Other Eminescu researchers blamed his political prose, quite blocking its reissue and recommending that posterity should only stock the lyrical dowry, even if people rightly spoke about parallel vocations. However, it is true that, under the circumstance pressure, Eminescu – the journalist (always called on) has been amputated, annexed, deformed, manipulated, ideologically colored and so on, hindering his masterpiece from being contextually read. The poet (apathetic, seraphic, dreamy, non-adherent, etc.) has been considered incapable of investigating the socio-political realities of the epoch. Without belonging to a doctrinal party, still his publicistic hack work bears the seal of an incommodious, inflexible, non-transactional spirit, with critical energy, being passionately involved in the Romanian world cause. It probes journalism professionalization by rhetoric analysis and artistic value. Therefore, the idea of “breach” does not advocate itself, although some vehement voices devalue the great poet's political prose. Obviously, Eminescu must be holistically acknowledged against the sheen of his whole workmanship and within the thoroughness of his creative endeavor, manufactured under the nimbus of his giftedness (genius).

Framing the Presidential Debate. Case Study

Cadrajele mediatice și dezbaterea prezidențială. Studiu de caz

Author(s): Monica PĂTRUȚ / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 09/2015

Keywords: presidential debate;Romania 2014;framing theory;thematic analysis

The final debate represents the most broadcasted event of the electoral campaign for the presidential title. Considered risky by the candidates, awaited by the citizens, the final debate succeeds to inform and entertain in the same time. With both their assets and clumsiness, the candidates are faced with each other in order to introduce themselves to the electors and to ask for their votes. In this article I have introduced a short presentation of the presidential debates from the post-Decembrist Romania, followed by an analysis of the 2014 debate, where I have included the first round of the debate hosted by Realitatea TV, and the second one, broadcasted by B1 TV. I have used as a basis the framing theory, and as research method, the content analysis. From la Semetko & Valkenburg (2000) I have taken the classical grid of analysis of the five frames (the attribution of responsibility, the human interest, the conflict, the morality, and the economical ones), and I have watched the prevailing framings within the presidential debate broadcasted by the two televisions. I have also made an analysis on which are the most prominent themes approached by the two rival political actors during the debate. According to the previous research in this field, for both candidates the dominant frame was the conflictual one, followed by the moral-legal one, and by the attribution of responsibility. Surprising is only the economical-consequences frame representation, which lacked consistence. The themes which carried the highest weight in the presidential debate were those related to the weak organization of the elections for the Romanian citizens who voted abroad, the suspension of the amnesty and pardon law, the enforcement of the anti-corruption fight and the support of the authorised institutions, the institutional collaboration between the president and the prime-minister, Romania’s relationships with the foreign partners, and future strategies for the economical-development of the country.

Comprehension vs. Interpretation. (Re)Reading as Practical Philosophy

Comprehensiunea vs. interpretarea. (Re)Lectura ca filosofie practică

Author(s): Éva Monica Székely / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2015

Keywords: hermeneutic experience; comprehension; interpretation; (re)reading; practical philosophy

The communicative imperatives of the contemporary world impose the return of the complex relation text vs. discourse in the middle of the present formative programs. The (re)reading, as significant practice, the vast problematic lying on either side of both its moments, comprehension and interpretation, at the crossroad of some subjects of reference like “the death of ideologies”, lead to the acceptance of hermeneutics and, of course, its significant practice, as a practical philosophy in formal and / or nonformal education. Nowadays, when the interpretation seems to become “the only game in town” (Stanley Fish), that is, the only choice that one has to accept if he wants to better himself. As result, our formative intention is to capture some new modeling elements in order to be able to render the features of the interpretative strategies for a structuring pattern of the (re)reading as philosophical practice in its double dimension: as a cognitive model, on one side, and as a cultural model in the negotiation of meaning, on the other side

The consciousness of transversality. Case study: reading multimodal text

Conștiința transversalității. Studiu de caz: lectura textului multimodal

Author(s): Bogdan Rațiu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2016

Keywords: multimodal text; multimodal/pragmatic/semiotic skill; stages of reception; literacy

The present study proposes a reading pattern dedicated to the multimodal text. In this way, the theoretical context of the multimodal text will be outlined, the multiliteration and the visual/digital literation, we will notice the approach of the multimodal text in the Romanian school. After that, we will present the stages of the reception of a multimodal product, exemplifying it with approaches of teaching and educating the readers that acutely feel the contemporaneity. We will approach the multimodal skill as an auxiliary skill that the teacher can develop; and we present the multimodal reading as a follow-up of the literary and nonliterary text reading. As a consequence of the theoretical approach based on the studies of Kress și val Leeuween, Jing Liu, Maureen Walsh, Monique Lebrun, Nathalie Lacelle, Jean-François Boutin, we have built a model of the multimodal text on the principle of the dialogue of representations following the progression and the grammar of the multimodal design.

Etymo-mythologies in Mircea Eliade’s Prose

Étymo-mythologies dans l’œuvre de Mircea Eliade

Author(s): Monica Borş / Language(s): French / Issue: 2 (24)/2016

Keywords: name; etymo-mythology; motivation; cratylization; context

The interpretation of fictional names from Eliade’s work, drawn within a linguistically non-arbitrary universe (precisely because they belong to a literature which tries to give meaning, to re-consecrate, to discover the meaning / the sacred under its camouflage), proceeds first of all from an intentionality acknowledged by Eliade regarding what specialized literature refers to as “rigid designation” and “contingent designation”. In what concerns the first sintagm, one has the author’s confession in the Trial of the Labyrinth referring to the name of the old Fărâmă (from On Mântuleasa Street); in what concerns the second one, there is the letter from January the 11th 1972, addressed to Mac Linscott Ricketts, where Eliade explains the semantism of a designator from the play Endless Column, connecting it with its role in the work’s economy.The present paper follows some suggestions of reading fictional names from Eliade’s work asserted by Eugen Simion, Matei Călinescu, Ştefan Borbely, Gheorghe Glodeanu, Sabina Fânaru, Lăcrămioara Berechet: “voluntary or involuntary matching” of names, the non-aleatory nature of characters’ names, the motivated nature of the name etc. The paper aims at an analysis of Eliade’s fictional universe from the perspective of the names bearing myths, of their mythophorical contents. The approach is justified by the very nature of the language imbued with meaning, re-enchanting the world: an intensely sacralised universe has as correspondent an intensely semanticised language, and the motivated nature of the name is the result of an effort of re-signifying a desecrated universe. The analysis proceeds with the working instruments of what some researchers name etymo-mythology, and others mythological linguistics and observes names’ mythological embodiments, according to myths invented by Eliade himself. The object of this work is the way in which the tissues of the language generate the Eliadesque fictional world and one of the recurrent threads of these tissues belongs to the mythology of names. The fictional world becomes intelligible through the spectrum of the mythological contents of the characters’ names that give it shape; spectrally decomposed, the names reveal sacred contents.The proper name is constructed in a nuclear space, as a designator that obtains significations in relation with the text, as well as (from the point of view of the narration that reedits the function of the myth that forms parallel worlds) a myth. The Cratylization of the proper name, its motivation is realized through the link created between the amount of descriptions that fixate the nature of the character throughout the work, and the internalized monemes of the sign, the context being “responsible” for the relation created between significant and signified. The interpretative semantics offered tools necessary to an endeavour of this kind, along with poetics, stylistics, modal semantics and mythological linguistics.

Némésis and the cubit. A votive aedicula from Tomis

Némésis et la Coudée. Un édicule voltif de Tomis

Author(s): Monica Mărgineanu Cârstoiu / Language(s): French / Issue: 2/2011

Keywords: Tomis; votive aedicula; the double Nemesi; the Cubit; measure; geometry; Nemeseion;

L’une des représentations d’époque romaine de la double Némésis est incorporée dans un petit édicule votif de marbre visible aujourd’hui au musée d’archéologie de Constanţa. L’édicule votif est analysé dans la perspective de la «corporalité intégrée» entre la double Némésis et l’architecture qui l’habille. La relation entre la divinité et la Mesure est incorporée dans le principe compositionnel de l’édicule et elle traduit leur implicite cohésion et la stabilité réciproque par le langage de la géométrie appliquée. On peut supposer que l’édicule représentait beaucoup plus que l’image d’un édifice quelconque. Il n’est pas exclu que la structure «en architecture» qui abritait la double Némésis soit un simulacre en miniature de l’abri dédié à la déité, une reproduction (adaptée) à l’échelle (?) d’un Nemeseion.

Contemporary Security Policy of the European Union in Mali

Soudobá bezpečnostní politika Evropské unie v Mali

Author(s): Marek Rechtík / Language(s): Czech / Issue: 3/2018

Keywords: European Union; Mali; France; Common Security Policy; Foreign Missions; Terrorism

The European Union is interested in ensuring the security of African countries in the region of Sahel because some of the threats originating from this region can potentially endanger its member states. With the deteriorating situation in northern Mali, the EU has decided to become more active in this country through Common Security and Defence Policy missions. The aim of this article is to introduce and subsequently assess the contemporary policy of EU in Mali. Particular attention will be paid to the European Union Training Mission in Mali and European Union Capacity Building Mission in Mali, which have so far produced rather mixed results. The article will also focus on the EU strategy in the Sahel region and partly on the EU counterterrorist and counterinsurgency activities in Mali.

The Multimodal Text in the New Curricula of Romanian Language and Literature (for Primary and Secondary School). Applications

Textul multimodal în noul curriculum de Limba și literatura română (nivel primar și gimnaziu). Aplicații

Author(s): Éva Monica Székely / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2019

Keywords: multimodal literacy; semiotical resources; multimodal media literacy; multimodal texts; verbal/ nonverbal/ paraverbal language;

The notion of multimodal literacy has two dimensions which plan the education of a “multimodal literate” pupil/student from primary and the secondary level of school too. The first dimension would be “media literacy”and/ or free acces at RED/ Open Educational Resources , underlining the need for literacy in producing and having access at multimodal information (that combine more semiotic resources, such as verbal language, gesture, images)and the second one dwells on recognizing the fact that the experience in teaching and learning is intrinsic multisemiotic and multimodal. An important consequence of this way of conceiving/representing knowledge is the extension of semantic area of the notion of text(s): oral and written; continuous,discontinuous and multimodal texts. This study will explore de creative and didactic dimensions of such of multimodal texts.

Do Return Migration Policies Matter? A typology of young Romanian returnees’ attitudes towards return policies

Do Return Migration Policies Matter? A typology of young Romanian returnees’ attitudes towards return policies

Author(s): Monica Şerban,Alin Croitoru / Language(s): English / Issue: 1-2/2018

Keywords: Intra-European migration; Migration policies at origin; Return migration; Romanian migration; Youth return migration;

During the last decades, the interest in migration policies has increased, both at institutional level and in academia. However, if the scientific understanding of policies associated with migration at destination has tremendously advanced, our knowledge about origin countries interventions in migration stays limited. Our paper addresses one of the largely unexplored topic of this area: if and what kind of policies supporting return/returnees the returnees themselves find appropriate. The analysis is based on 120 interviews with Romanian returnees, aged 18 to 39, coming back after at least 6 months of working or studying abroad in different EU countries. The article reveals that even if the return policies are generally positively evaluated by the Romanian returned migrants, not all of them support the idea of having policies specially designed for attracting migrants back to the origin country. Some of them simply reject the idea and others are sceptical about the state capacity of implementing this type of policies. The paper explores all the main clusters of attitudes towards return migration policies and illustrates each of them with excerpts from in-depth interviews.

The osseous industry from the Eneolithic site at Atmageaua Tătărască (Bugaria). A technological and functional study

L’industrie en matières dures animales du site énéolithique d´Atmageaua Tătărască (Bulgarie). Données technologiques et fonctionnelles

Author(s): Monica Mărgărit / Language(s): French / Issue: 16/2020

Keywords: Eneolithic;osseous materials;technological analysis;functional hypotheses;

Eneolithic site from Atmageaua Tătărască yelded 63 pieces made of hard animal materials. These are mainly finished pieces with exceptional design (some of the other products and by-products of the technological scheme are also present) made of bone, red deer antler, wild boar and Unio and Cardium valve. This assemblage, coming from the old excavations, was attributed to two Eneolithic cultures (Boian and Gumelnița - phases A1, A2 and B1). Our technological study has allowed the reconstruction of the operational schemes used for the raw materials transformation, as well as the approach of functional hypotheses for these objects.

CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF SEVERAL ARTICLES ABOUT VLACH COMMUNITY OF SERBIA - APPLICATION OF REFLEXIVITY IN THE ANALYSIS OF SCIENTIFIC WORK

CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF SEVERAL ARTICLES ABOUT VLACH COMMUNITY OF SERBIA - APPLICATION OF REFLEXIVITY IN THE ANALYSIS OF SCIENTIFIC WORK

Author(s): Milena Golubovic / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2021

Keywords: reflexivity, postmodernism; Vlachs; Vlach language; Vlach script;

Relying on Foucault’s theoretical differentiation of three derived management models reflecting the historical and political response to the emergence of three infectious diseases, namely leprosy, the plague and smallpox, this paper will consider the manner in which the approach of health policy-makers in Serbia has changed before, during and after the introduction of the state of emergency caused by the outbreak of the SARS-CoV2 epidemic, largely following the ideal-typical description of these three models of confronting the infection. Starting with the idea of identifying and completely isolating those that are infected from the community for the purpose of preserving a “clean” society, typical of the period of the spread of leprosy, through the idea of introducing quarantine and monitoring mechanisms for the purpose of establishing a disciplined society, typical of the period of the spread of the plague, to the reliance on vaccination and abandonment of the idea of complete eradication of the pathogens, i.e., reliance on statistics and risk analyses for the purpose of long-term understanding and curbing the epidemic, typical of the outbreak of smallpox, it is possible to identify significant similarities of these historical models with different stages in managing the crisis caused by the Covid-19 epidemic in the contemporary local context.

The Fundamental Right To Education And Religious Freedom

The Fundamental Right To Education And Religious Freedom

Author(s): Remus Marian / Language(s): English / Issue: 02/2020

Keywords: public administration; human rights law; religious education; public education system;

Education is a fundamental human right in the contemporary society, therefore it has to be protected and promoted. Representing the basis of the evolution of society towards a better future, education must be a national priority and responsibility that can provide children and young people with the necessary safety throughout their lives, trust in a good future, the chance of social integration of all citizens, to teachers, the social dignity corresponding to this noble profession, to the parents, the satisfaction of the best investment not only for the future of their own children, their personal but of all humanity. Concerns in the field of education, both at State and Church level, indicate the constant interest and level of priority given to education to ensure social and moral evolution of society. Religion is an integral and defining part of European culture, and in the vast majority of European states religion is taught within the public education system. Romania respects European norms and promotes a system of education comparable to that of the majority of European Union states.

The Genealogy of Political Theatre in Post-Socialism. From Anti-system Nihilism to the Anti-capitalist Left

A politikai színház genealógiája a posztszocializmusban. A „rendszer”-ellenes nihilizmustól az antikapitalista baloldalig

Author(s): David Schwartz / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 2/2022

Keywords: David Schwartz; political theatre; post socialism; Romania;

David Schwartz’s text is an analysis of the context of the emergence, development and current difficulties faced by left-wing political theatre, critical of capitalism, which has been starting to assert itself in Romania since the 2000s. At the same time, for the sake of historical contextualization, the author makes a gesture of recovery, evoking the memory of the interwar political theatre of the left and that of the communist period, almost unknown to the world and to the contemporary theatre audience. This information hiatus that led to the suppression of the history of political resistance once present in Romanian theatre, may be the cause why young artists interested in socio-political theatre are influenced rather by Western cultural models to which they had access, and which inspired them aesthetically and ideologically.

Formal invalidity of administrative acts relating to the employment relationship of civil servants in the light of the provisions of the Administrative Code

Nulitatea de formă a actelor administrative privind raportul de serviciu al funcționarilor publici în lumina prevederilor Codului administrativ

Author(s): Mirela Monica Perjaru / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 03/2022

Keywords: formal nullity; extrinsic nullity; legal nullity; administrative act; public servants; duty relationship; conditioned by damage; essential provisions; Administrative Code;

The present study represents an analysis of the institution of formal nullity of administrative acts regarding the public servant’s duty relationship, respectively of the provisions of art. 535 of Emergency Government Ordinance (EGO) no. 57/2019 regarding the Administrative Code, by reference both to the special legislation in the matter of administrative litigation and the applicable general legislation, including a theoretical approach as well as a practical one. Repealing the provisions of Law no. 188/1999 regarding the public servant’s duty relationship, the Administrative Code establishes a series of procedural formalities common to several administrative acts regarding the public servant’s duty relationship, regulating the sanction and its mode of operation in the event of non-fulfillment of the formal requirements established by art. 528-533. Although the text of article 535 is concise and easy to read, it was found that in practice its interpretation is not uniform. Thus, despite the fact that the regulation expressly provides for the sanction of legal nullity in the event of non-compliance with certain legal provisions regarding the form of administrative acts regarding the public servant’s duty relationship, nullity to be found by the administrative litigation court, the study proposes to present an interpretation nuanced in the sense that the sanction of nullity: – cannot be ordered for the hypotheses regulated in art. 528 para. 3-8 because the non-communication of administrative acts is, in principle, sanctioned with unenforceability, not with nullity; – cannot be ordered for the omission of any ot the formalities mentioned in art. 529-533, but only for non-compliance with the legal norms that provide for essential provisions, being conditioned by damage that can only be removed by abolishing the act; – is not established, but ordered by the court. The study has theoretical and practical importance, from the perspective of the novelty of the legal issues in the analysis, proposing to determine a debate on some interesting topics, aiming to contribute to the outline of a unified interpretation of the legal provisions, aspect justified by the variety of solutions identified in the specific practice of the administrative litigation courts regarding the cases that have as their object the public servant’s duty relationship.
