Fundamental Aesthetic Principles in the Romanian Short Film Music

Fundamental Aesthetic Principles in the Romanian Short Film Music

Author(s): Florin Gioroc / Language(s): English / Issue: 14/2014

Keywords: film music; polyphonic; contrapuntal variations; Romanian film

With its emergence, in the silent era, film appealed to music for reasons that today often make us smile. At first, the newborn creation borrowed heavily from universal music in a random manner. Soon, however, even the original music becomes necessary for the silent film, as a consequence of the need for a stronger adequacy of its filmic discourse. Adequacy that has many aesthetic aspects. With the advent of sound and the crystallization of the new requirements underlying film production, film music adopts, after a long practice, a number of fundamental aesthetic principles that govern its work even today. This paper aims to review and theorize these principles applied to Romanian short film music.

Romanian propaganda in Portugal during Victor Cădere’s term of office (1942-1944)

Romanian propaganda in Portugal during Victor Cădere’s term of office (1942-1944)

Author(s): Ioana Ecaterina Cazacu / Language(s): English / Issue: 17/2012

Keywords: Second World War; Romania; Portugal; diplomacy; propaganda; cultural relations; neutrality

Although a small country, Portugal came to occupy during World War II a central place on the great powers’ agenda. This was a result of both the country’s strictly neutral position during the war and of its geostrategic position. If during the interwar period Romanian diplomacy showed little interest in Portugal, this changed dramatically with the outbreak of the war. Romania’s involvement in the Iberian country overlapped the great powers’ interest. Portugal was regarded as a fertile ground for conducting espionage operations, spreading propaganda, handling negotiations and signing economic agreements. The Romanian government showed also an interest in obtaining information on the government and public opinion’s orientation, and the impact of the Anglo-American and German actions on Portuguese neutrality. Victor Cădere assumed the office of minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary of Romania in Portugal at the beginning of January 1942, replacing Dimitrie Jurascu. His appointment does not seem hazardous, grounded as it was on the important role the diplomat was called to play as an intermediary between the Romanian, and the British and the American governments and as a supervisor of the cultural and economic approach between Romania and Portugal, on the other hand. Benefitting from the assistance of outstanding cultural personalities such as Mircea Eliade, and of other dedicated members of the legation, the envoy succeeded in promoting the Romanian culture in Portugal and in emphasizing its role within Central and Eastern Europe.

Negative campaign in the presidential debates of democratic Romania

Campania negativă în dezbaterile prezidențiale televizate din România democrată

Author(s): Roxana Miron / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 186/4/2015

Keywords: negative campaign; political communication; political marketing; electoral manipulation; political debate

This work aims to present the evolution of Romanian’s elections presidential campaigns from 1990 to 2014, focusing on how the main candidates (the two arrived in the second round) used negative campaign techniques to build their visibility, their image of future President of the State. The analysis of their participation in final political debates on TV will be directed towards identifying those negative campaigning elements, negative aspects, disadvantages, minuses, weaknesses that each candidate attributes to his opponent. If sometimes the negative campaigning can be constructive, by amplifying the competitiveness between the candidates, more often it is responsible for guiding the electoral race to another level – that of the tabloid scandals, by invoking arguments that look ridiculous, inconsistent and irrelevant.

Investments of Foreign Capital in the Romanian Economy at the Beginning of the XXth Century

Investments of Foreign Capital in the Romanian Economy at the Beginning of the XXth Century

Author(s): Daniela Buşă / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2011

Keywords: Romania; foreign investments; capital; XXth century

Taking its stand on statistic data, the study analyses the type, the amount and the economic impact of the investments of foreign capital in Romania, at the beginning of the XXth century. Foreign capital played an important role in the development of the modern economical relations in Romania, but, since the major objective pursued by the investors was their own profit, the area of the these investments was drastically limited to those fields engendering a certain and fast profit. The exploitation of the mineral resources (especially oil) and the projects of development of the infrastructure, having the Romanian state as a partner, were particularly preferred. On the other side, the industry lacked noticeable investments and, therefore, it remained at a backward stage of development. The analysis of the flow of foreign capital to Romania also represents an aid to a proper understanding of the geopolitical interests involving Romania around the time of the WWI.

The art of Cioran`s writing as a way of eradication of the lyricism

ARTA SCRIITURII LA CIORAN CA FORMĂ DE ERADICARE A LIRISMULUI

Author(s): Flavia Trif (Crăstănuș) / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2016

Keywords: eradication; lyricism; writing; sobriety; art;

My ideal writing : silence forever to the poet inside me; liquidate its last vestiges of lyricism, going against the current of what it is, betraying his inspirations; stomping his impulses and all his grimaces ". The lyrical emphasis of Cioran`s writing invents its own sorrows, absorbing its emotions in the plasma of the scriptural sign. We witness here a deliberate form of eradication of the lyricism where the writing`s evolution is defined by the sterilisation of all emotions and the refinement of expression. This process is deeply privileged by the choice of French writing wich involve sobriety and temperance. Even this, the lyricism is not lost, it is systematized in the substance of words, contribuing to its own perfection.

Homogeneous Arcs in Projective Hjelmslev Spaces and a Generalization of a Theorem by Bonisoli

Homogeneous Arcs in Projective Hjelmslev Spaces and a Generalization of a Theorem by Bonisoli

Author(s): Stoyan Boev,Ivan Landjev / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2014

Keywords: Projective Hjelmslev Spaces; Homogeneous weight; Homogeneous Arcs; constant weight codes;

In this note, we prove an analogue of a theorem by A. Bonisoli which characterizes the linear constant weight codes over finite as a concatenation of simplex codes. We extend this theorem to linear codes over finite chain rings with respect to the homogeneous metric. The approach to linear codes used in this note is geometric. This the reason why we prove our result for multiarcs in projective Hjelmslev spaces.

THE MUSICAL REPRESENTATION OF DAVID's PSALMS IN THE TRADITION OF BAROQUE CHORAL MUSIC

THE MUSICAL REPRESENTATION OF DAVID's PSALMS IN THE TRADITION OF BAROQUE CHORAL MUSIC

Author(s): Petruţa Maria Coroiu,Alexandra Belibou / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2016

The psalm is one of the most complex musical and poetic genres, and one of the oldest in humankind history. The Psalms in the Bible indicate that music served as a form of communication with God, either to praise Him, or to ask for His forgiveness. "Address one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord" (Ephesians 5, 19). One of the poetical books of the Old Testament of great spiritual and artistic value is David’s Book of Psalms, legacy which instilled deeply religious feelings in all composers throughout time. People’s need to sing their faith through old testament texts prompts us to conduct even more detailed research into universal musical baroque creation based on the Psalms.

ASPECTS CONCERNING LEGAL LIABILITY IN THE INSURANCE SECTOR

Author(s): Toderaşcu (Sandu) Carmen,Fîrţescu Bogdan / Language(s): English / Issue: Suplim/2016

Keywords: social responsibility; civil liability; insurance; civil liability insurance for motor vehicles; ASF;

(Civil) liability insurance covers damages caused by policyholders (natural or legal entities) to third parties, damages that appear in certain situations and for which the policyholder responsible for their occurrence is held liable by law. In time, economic and social importance of civil liability insurance has been recognized, and it has recorded a continued progress, especially in this last period. Civil liability insurance has diversified adapting to changes of the socioeconomic and professional environment, which it is meant to support. Diversification and amplification are revealed through the involvement of the State in this field, as a series of insurance of this type became mandatory by law (civil liability insurance for motor vehicles). In this context, our work is designed as an interdisciplinary analysis of the role of insurance and related (legal) liability in strengthening social responsibility, in support of ensuring functionality of contemporary societies.

Recycling the Folk Music

Recycling the Folk Music

Author(s): Roxana Pepelea / Language(s): English / Issue: 2-Suppl/2016

Keywords: Roxana Pepelea composer; Romanian folk music; variations; clarinet quartet

The constants of the compositional creation signed by Roxana Pepelea start from the idea of a continuous sonorous and conceptual re-creation of the Romanian folklore, by modern techniques, the most important being polyphony, modal harmony, heterophony or free variation. Pursuing a certain plasticity of the sonorous image in illustrating Romanian spirituality, the composer often resorts to models stemming from a mythical space-time. The appeal to the autochthonous musical potential is sometimes intertwined with the revaluation of several traditional patterns: variation, sonata, fugue.

Battle axes dated to the second half of I millennium from the Teleorman County Museum collection

Topoare de luptă din a doua jumătate a mileniului I din colecţiile Muzeului Judeţean Teleorman

Author(s): Bogdan Ciupercă,Pavel Mirea / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 7/2015

Keywords: battle axes; weaponry; VIII-X centuries; Teleorman; Lower Danube

This article presents the analysis of seven iron battle axes preserved in the Teleorman County Museum collections. Enriching the archaeological finds in Walachia, these artefacts were discovered in the Vedea and Teleorman rivers basins (at Măgura, Valea Părului and Ştorobăneasa), and in the Urlui valley (Troianu). These are rare finds in settlements dating to the VIII-X centuries, and almost all of them are fortuitous finds or form part of tool and weaponry hoards. Usually considered as poor examples of weaponry and military equipment of the time, the seven battle axes discussed here, however, offer a wealth of information shedding light on an often unclear and complex reality. Until recently only 29 battle axes were known in the Carpathians and Danube area: 12 from fortuitous finds, three from burials and 14 as part of tool and weaponary hoards. The seven discussed here, of which three form part of the Valea Părului hoard, add to those discoveries.

Short anthropological report on the Bronze Age cemetery from Hăpria

Short anthropological report on the Bronze Age cemetery from Hăpria

Author(s): Mihai Constantinescu,Thomas Crist,Jenna Watson / Language(s): English / Issue: 13/2016

Keywords: Early Bronze Age; Livezile group; demography; paleopathology;

Archaeological excavations carried out during 1998-2000 in the village of Hăpria, County of Alba, brought to light in the point called Capul Dosului, 18 graves associated with the Livezile cultural group dating back to the Early Bronze Age (ca. 2700-2400 BC). The analysis of the skeletons from these graves identified remains from 27 individuals. Most of the skeletons were poorly preserved having the bone surface eroded due to exposure to humidity and root growth. Some of the graves had only fragments of skulls present and others had scattered human bones from two or three individuals among the bones of the skeleton interred as cadaver in the grave. Skeletal analysis indicates that the individuals ranged in age from infants to adults in their 50s. Of the 27 skeletons analyzed, ten were male, five were female and twelve were undetermined. The demography of the cemetery, stature and pathological changes were compared mainly with the cemetery from Ampoița-Peret, the only cemetery belonging to Livezile group with an anthropological analysis.

STRETCHING THE BOUNDARIES OF PUBLISHING: THE OPEN WEB PLATFORM AND THE ALTERNATIVES

STRETCHING THE BOUNDARIES OF PUBLISHING: THE OPEN WEB PLATFORM AND THE ALTERNATIVES

Author(s): Nicolaie Constantinescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

Keywords: publishing; editorial trends; editorial tools; editorial services; editorial business models; open web platform; markdown; publishing platforms; html5; css3; epub.

Today’s scientific practice makes data the first territory for analysis and publishing becomes the rich context for cross referencing and interpretation. Scholarly publishing practices, editing and publishing in general have been shaped by the printing press and later on fashioned by the launch of the scientific journals starting in 1665 with the Philosophical Transactions by the Royal Society. Trends are mounting towards a self-publishing model, let that be under a known editorial label or in a self-sustained environment under university’s press umbrella or by the help of online free existing tools and services. All of the practices lend themselves to one purpose: being indexed, being parsed, mined for data, and emerging as valuable contributions to the field and become relevant. This paper explores some the new tool chains the Open Web Platform offers and some alternatives to be considered in the daily editing workflows. The envelope of the existing technologies is pushed further to step into the future world of deep learning and artificial intelligence. An exploratory tab will be set on the possibilities self-publishing is presenting the researchers in terms of tools and publishing platforms other than the regular channels.

A Character in Search of an Author: Cioran, Exile, and the Decomposed Theatre of Matei Vișniec

Un personaggio in cerca d’autore. Cioran, l’esilio e il teatro decomposto di Matei Vișniec

Author(s): Horia Corneliu Cicortaș / Language(s): Italian / Issue: 39/2020

Keywords: Emil Cioran; Matei Vișniec; Romanian Exile; Decomposed Theatre; Decomposition;

The article presents several themes in the works of E. M. Cioran and Matei Vișniec, two authors who, though belonging to two different generations and cultural contexts, have in common the experience of exile, the shift in the language of self-expression from their native Romanian to French, and a strong interest in philosophical reflection on the topic of decomposition. In this regard, Cioran’s works, such as Précis de décomposition, can be read in light of The Decomposed Theatre, and vice-versa. This article draws attention to two examples of Vișniec’s dramaturgy, making use of a comparative approach to the decomposition theme in the two Franco-Romanian authors.
