ART IN PUBLIC SPACES. STENCILS ON THE WALLS OF CLUJ

ART IN PUBLIC SPACES. STENCILS ON THE WALLS OF CLUJ

Author(s): Sabina Andron / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2009

Our public spaces are filled with images and visual messages, some belonging to the “above the line” logic (like advertisements or political posters) while other belong to a “below the line” concept of visual communication, like street art, stencilling or graffiti. These forms of expression entered our urban life and are influencing the behaviour and even reflect a public consciousness. Sabina Andron draws a map of the stencils in Cluj and, in the same time, uses this to tap into the aesthetics of this new urban art.

THE COLLISION OF AFRICAN AND EUROPEAN CULTURES, A SITE OF METAMORPHOSES IN CHINUA ACHEBE’S AFRICAN TRILOGY

THE COLLISION OF AFRICAN AND EUROPEAN CULTURES, A SITE OF METAMORPHOSES IN CHINUA ACHEBE’S AFRICAN TRILOGY

Author(s): Valeria Dumitrescu Micu / Language(s): English / Issue: 20/2014

Keywords: Africa; change; cultural clash; language;

Achebe, the realist Nigerian novelist, made use of his “knowledges” and fulfilled what he felt as a deep duty: he made “his people” speak in some acclaimed and highly rewarded novels in order to tell Their Truth. Achebe was fully aware that “literary texts are one of the rare places where they might be heard”, as Foucault (qtd. in Loomba 1998:38) largely stated. Thus, readers of all times are able to perceive the metamorphoses undergone by both sides of the cultural clash in the process of colonisation. This paper traces how the profound mechanisms of change gradually affected large groups of indigenous people: the social fabric of the African villages started its perpetual disintegration, their languages were replaced by the British language, their institutions became ignored, minimized, and finally reduced to inefficiency. New people and new places were born.

INTERCULTURAL DIMENSIONS OF MUSIC EDUCATION

INTERCULTURAL DIMENSIONS OF MUSIC EDUCATION

Author(s): Dorina Geta Iușcă / Language(s): English / Issue: 05+06/2013

Keywords: music education; intercultural interaction; education for cultural diversity

Amidst an extensive development of the media and an increase in the number of international student mobilities, the cultural and social relationships have become more numerous, having profound implications over the individual’s and society’s cultural identity. Thus, the education for cultural diversity becomes a must in the students’ instruction and learning in the contemporary school system. In this context, music education has a special role, as it becomes a medium, a resource, a pretext or the way in which intercultural instruction is realized.

Translating ‘shame’. A translational approach (I)

Cum se traduce ‘rușinea’. Abordare traductologică (I)

Author(s): Magda Jeanrenaud / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 5/2017

Keywords: traducere; semantica ‘rușinii’; traducerea conceptelor; neologizare; text specializat

Pornind de la sfera semantică și lexicală a conceptelor honte (limba franceză) și, respectiv, rușine (limba română), îmi propun să examinez modul cum se traduce acesta în limba română pornind de la un studiu de caz. În acest scop, voi încerca să elaborez un studiu traductologic comparativ al lucrării lui Boris Cyrulnik, intitulată Mourir de dire. La honte (Éditions Odile Jacob, Paris, 2010) și a traducerii sale în limba română, intitulată Mai bine mor decît să spun. Rușinea (traducere din limba franceză de Valentin Protopopescu, Editura Trei, col. „Psihologia pentru toți”, București, 2012). Textul lui Cyrulnik are o particularitate: oscilează între factura literară și cea a unui text specializat. Din acest punct de vedere, transpunerea lui pune la încercare teoriile funcționaliste ale traducerii și, mai ales, teoria skopos-ului elaborată de Katharina Reiss și Hans Vermeer: este interesant de analizat cum „decodează” traducătorul „intenționalitatea” acestui tip de text, totuși specializat, cum decide el să transpună sfera sa semantică și lexicală în limba română.

„Sociologist as Voyeur”: Genealogical Problematization and Critical Interpretation of Dominant Discourse of Sociology of Sexuality

„Sociolog kao voajer”: Genealoška problematizacija i kritička interpretacija dominantnog diskursa sociologije seksualnosti

Author(s): Branislav Filipović / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 2/2017

Keywords: sex; sexuality; sociology of sexuality; discours; social constructionism

The work thematizes the formation and classical theoretical concepts of sociology of sexuality. Declassification of essentialism along with theoretical emphasis of its historicity and cultural relativism is the condition of possibility for sociological thought to place this „natural phenomenon” in the focus of scientific attention. However, the predominant constructionist explication of cultural and historical mutuality of sex and sexuality constitutes a relatively closed theoretical perspective.

ADAPTIVE STRATEGY IN LITERARY TRANSLATION (ON THE MATERIAL OF MARCEL PROUST’S PROSE)

АДАПТИВНА СТРАТЕГІЯ ПРИ ПЕРЕКЛАДІ ХУДОЖНЬОГО ТЕКСТУ (НА МАТЕРІАЛІ ТВОРІВ М. ПРУСТА)

Author(s): Nataliya Sopylyuk / Language(s): Ukrainian / Issue: 1/2017

Keywords: literary translation; adaptation; adaptive strategy; adequate translation; addition; omission; remplacements;

Our attention is focused on adaptative strategy in Ukrainian translation. Marcel Proust’s psychological prose is selected as the basis for the analysis. The author proves that adaptation is an important creative component of interlingua and intercultural communication. Adaptation in translation is determined by lingo-cultural dissimilarities between readers of source and target texts. Lingo-cultural adaptation aims to recreate the author’s conception and to provide adequate translation. The main types of adaptive strategies are addition, omission and replacement. Addition is one of the translation techniques intended for the explication of information that is implicit in the source text. Addition is frequently used in translation of onomastic realia. Omission, which is opposite to addition, consists in the reduction of the elements considered irrelevant, semantically redundant or uninformative in the source text. Omission of such elements doesn’t cause misunderstanding of the meaning to be conveyed. Special attention is paid to a study of various types of replacement. Peculiarities of lexico-semantic, lexico-gramatic and phraselogical remplacements are analyzed and illustrated. Lexico-semantic replacements are related to semantic changes of the source elements, specifically concretization, generalization and different metaphoric modifications of the meaning of the word. Transposition of parts of speech and logical development are part of lexico-gramatic remplacements. Phraselogical remplacement is the process of replacement of the source language lexemes and lexical units by elements with different denotative meaning in order to provide an adequate perception of the target text.

Functional activity of the rats’ hepatocytes under cancerogenesis

Функціональна активність гепатоцитів щурів при канцерогенезі

Author(s): V. V. Ivchuk,N. I. Shtemenko / Language(s): Ukrainian / Issue: 2/2008

Keywords: rats’ hepatocytes; cancerogenesis;

Enzymatic activity in rat’s hepatocytes under carcinoma Geuren T8 development as well as after introduction of rhenium compounds and cis-platin were studied. It has been determined that the decrease of enzymatic activity contrary to the control animals has been observed under simultaneous injection of cis-platin and cluster rhenium compounds in a liposome form. That confirms possible hepatoprotective properties of the rhenium compounds.

Research&Development&Innovation Sector in Romania. Management and Market Concentration

Research&Development&Innovation Sector in Romania. Management and Market Concentration

Author(s): Silvius Stanciu,Cezar Bichescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2018

Keywords: R&D&I; Romania; management; analysis; concentration;

Research, development and innovation can represent the foundation of economic development and a way to increase economic competitiveness. The paper proposes an analysis of the national research system, highlighting the factors that lead to a reduced success rate of Romanian research. Information on system development has been collected from national and international statistical bases. The data were processed, statistically interpreted and represented graphically. The assessment of the degree of market concentration of the innovative companies in Romania was achieved through the Gini Struck and Herfindahl-Hirschman methods. The results of the study have led to a high concentration of the market. The development of private research is at an early stage in Romania, compared to Europe. Although strategic tools to promote research results have been proposed at national level, the low allocation of funds to the sector, a domestic fund dominated by foreign capital and inadequate legislation still lead to a lack of attractiveness of the sector and modest results.

FORENSIC INVESTIGATION MICRO TRACES INORGANIC NATURE AND THEIR ROLE IN THE SECURITY SYSTEM

FORENSIC INVESTIGATION MICRO TRACES INORGANIC NATURE AND THEIR ROLE IN THE SECURITY SYSTEM

Author(s): Vojkan Zorić,Zdravko Skakavac,Božidar Forca / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

Keywords: Forensic; Micro Traces; Security System

Today's development of science and technics contributes to finding newer and more perfect methods that enable finding, fixing and researching different types of micro traces, which in the previous period was not feasible. Properly finding micro traces, fixing them and preventing contamination during sampling and transport to laboratories, and detailed forensic analyzes, it's will with safe to provide material evidence in the form of micro traces essential for further criminal proceedings. Forensic of micro traces is one of the typical examples of coupling of social and natural sciences. It is a correlation of criminalistics, which in the broader sense should be understood as the struggle against sociological pollution of the human environment (and as such it is classified as a social science), with basic natural sciences such as physics, chemistry, biology and medicine. This connection will be used in this paper for the purpose of analytical approach to clarifying the role of micro traces in order to preserve and develop the country's security system. The science and technique are increasingly being found in the forensic research of the arguments of their inventions and are increasingly present as methods of proof in criminal procedure law. The modern development of science and technics, used in various types of forensic expertise, led to the fact that forensic expertise practically became a necessary investigative action. With the onset of Forensic, the first attempts to overcome exclusively craft elements characteristic of investigative criminalistic technique appear and to be create exact methods for building a system, based primarily on the principles and objective criteria of science and technics. Given its purpose and the development of opportunities in human society, Forensic certainly falls among those sciences whose development must be the fastest and most versatile. Crime in the world has been on the rise for years, and the appetites of criminals are growing, so they are using the latest scientific achievements and the latest crafts in inter-ethnic relations. Forensic science, whose main task is to fight crime, must be at least as active as active and criminal methods, and it would be advisable to be a step ahead of them.

A SAMPLE OF METOPIC SUTURE WITH INCOMPLETE FUSION

FÜZYONUNU TAMAMLAMAMIŞ BİR METOPİK SÜTÜR ÖRNEĞİ

Author(s): Nevin GÖKSAL / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 2/2018

Keywords: Skull; Metopic Suture; Metopism; Frontal Bone;

The human brain grows up to the age of 45-50 and therefore needs to expand its skull. Each of the craniofacial bones is connected by a straight stitch to the adjacent bone. In the skull, the sutures that connect the parietal bones close at certain ages. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the detailed morphology of metopic suture found in the skull of an Early Iron Age adult female individual aged 20-30 years obtained from the illegal excavations in Babacan's countryside around Van province. It is also possible to reveal the possible causes of the failure of metopic suture fusion by this study.

OBSERVATIONS OF TRANSLATION AS A NEGOTIATION ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE ITALIAN TRANSLATION OF SARAJEVSKI MARLBORO BY MILJENKO JERGOVIĆ

LA TRADUZIONE COME NEGOZIAZIONE: CONSIDERAZIONI SULL’ESEMPIO DELLA TRADUZIONE ITALIANA DI SARAJEVSKI MARLBORO (LE MARLBORO DI SARAJEVO) DI MILJENKO JERGOVIĆ

Author(s): Nada Županović Filipin,Mia Brnović / Language(s): Italian / Issue: 1/2019

Keywords: translation; culture-specific items; the acts of negotiating; acceptability; adequateness; translation strategies;

The goal of our research was to study processes that take place in translation and compare culture-specific items in the source text to their equivalents in the target text. In the first part of the paper we examined certain theoretical aspects of translation, while in the second part we carried out a comparative traductological analysis employing the previously-presented theories. The analysis focuses on the treatment of culture-specific items in Le Marlboro di Sarajevo, Ljiljana Avirović’s Italian translation of Miljenko Jergović’s book Sarajevski Marlboro. Analysing both the source and target text, we tried to establish similarities and differences that emerge when translating culture-specific items that are frequently considered untranslatable. Finally, referring to individual examples, we discussed the overall orientation of the Italian text and tried to establish whether the translation is more oriented towards the adequateness of cultural items in the source language and culture (source oriented) or towards their acceptability in the target language and culture (target oriented).

Lawyers and Money laundering

Lawyers and Money laundering

Author(s): Flóra Józan,László Kőhalmi / Language(s): English / Issue: 02/2016

Keywords: money laundering; lawyers; criminal proceeding;

The European recommendations suggest that the lawyers are considered gatekeepers of money laundering, such persons who can contribute to the legalization of money acquired through illegal ways with their expertise in the area. The Hungarian legislation concerning money laundering that can potentially affect lawyers raise serious constitutional concerns on several points. It is increasingly common in the international legal practice, that a criminal proceeding is launched against a lawyer. These proceedings are often based on the assumption that the criminal defence lawyer has conducted money laundering by receiving his legal fee.

Creating Object-Based Learning for the Anthropocene: A Critical Reflection

Creating Object-Based Learning for the Anthropocene: A Critical Reflection

Author(s): Becky Alexis-Martine / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2020

Keywords: Anthropocene; Object-Based Learning; Multimedia; Visual; Interdisciplinary;

The Anthropocene is the human age. Its undeniable significance has been ascribed across disciplines from geology, to cultural studies, to fine art. Through reflective analysis, this paper explores the role and significance of creative practice, the found object, and the use of object-based adventures in teaching the Anthropocene. It also considers the role of virtual object-based learning in a digital age through a “Gallery of Late Humanity”, through the reflexive lens of a lecturer who teaches both environmental sciences and cultural geography. These methods successfully encouraged learning across and beyond the disciplinary boundaries of geography and fine art, providing creative re-imaginings, visualisations and understandings of the Anthropocene. These approaches illustrate how the quotidian materialities of home can be reconfigured as a field site for the late Anthropocene.

Developing the humour repertoire concept to guide future tourism-humour research

Developing the humour repertoire concept to guide future tourism-humour research

Author(s): Anja Pabel,Philip L. Pearce / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: humour repertoire; humour appreciation; humour production; online survey; cognitive schema

The central interest in this study is to develop and position the humour repertoire concept fortourism and leisure research. The term humour repertoire encompasses the totality of aperson’s abilities and skills to both appreciate and produce humour. Such skills include theindividual’s ability to tell/retell humorous (travel) stories, jokes from their life and travels, andthe ability to see travel and leisure situations as amusing. A framework outlining the role ofthe humour repertoire is presented and an online empirical study is reported to addressselected components of the conceptual scheme. The results show a weak association betweenhumour appreciation and production, indicating that researchers examining humour intourism need to be careful in building generic implications from selected work. Attention isthen given to the multiple social and contextual factors beyond the individual level that need tobe considered when assessing humour in diverse tourism contexts. Fresh research directionsare indicated by considering the richness of the repertoire framework and links to cognitiveschema research.
