Keywords: Romanian Worker’s Party; Ana Pauker; „right deviation”; political trial; Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej; Vyaceslav Molotov.
Member of the group accused in 1952 of „right deviation” (together with Vasile Luca and Teohari Georgescu), Ana Pauker was treated differently from his fellows after Stalin’s death. She bennefited from the interest of her behalf by the soviet leadership, especially by Vyaceslav Molotov. This article presents the minutes of the Romanian Worker’s Party Political Bureau’s meeting on 11 May 1954. The talks show the willingness of the RWP leadership to grant Ana Pauker a special treatment: even though she was expelled from the party, it was decided not to prosecute her.

Keywords: Euro-Atlantic integration; Role conception; Romanian foreign and security policy; Strategic culture; Transformation
Romania‘s role conception is depicted in the series of national security and defence strategies formulated during its post-communist era. These strategic documents represent the vision of the country‘s Presidential Administration regarding foreign and security policy‘s main directions and, if adopted by Parliament, the national vision on foreign and security policy. The purpose of this study is to provide an analysis of Romania‘s role conception through the comparative case study of three of these national strategies, showing that while the stages of transition undergone by Romania in terms of foreign and security policy have had in some respects a manifold impact upon its security discourse and its strategic culture, some elements of strategic culture have remained constant despite important external shocks. Romania has maintained its role conception as a balancer in the region and its security rationale focused on Russia. The integration into the Euro-Atlantic community has led, on the other side, to an accentuated and constant Atlanticism as a main feature of Romanian security policy, as well as to a newly found assertiveness. However, this (re)discovered assertiveness has not led to consensus in terms of foreign and policy prioritisation, but to a current foreign policy based on the search for a new paradigm.

This approach aims at increasing awareness on how communication, journalism and social sciences create their own specialized terminology. In order to demonstrate this, we have highlighted the role of context in specifying the terms of the previously mentioned areas. Certainly, the analysis of terms making up sciences that underwent a spectacular development in our country after the 90s can be challenging, especially due to the formation of these new nomenclatures.

The Fundamental Laws of the European Union member states establish the institutional system and also the Government’s organisation. In the present article, after we already studied the organisation of the Chief of State institution, we will analyse the other vector of the executive power: the Government. Each state understands to organise public administration system differently, according to their administrative culture and to their constitutional rules. The second part of the study based on the comparative method and on the analysis of the Constitutional rules will emphasize the unity and also the diversity of the government organisation in the European Union systems.

Over 50 years ago, an archaeological team initiated the research in the area of the medieval town from Târgşoru Vechi. In 1956 only the ruins of three churches and some fragments of the buildings of the former Voivodal Court and Turnu monastery could still be observed. Those medieval remains were the starting point for the investigation of Târgşoru Vechi town, a town that today celebrates 600 years since it was first mentioned in a medieval document. The Novo Foro, as it was known in the Latin version of the document issued by Mircea cel Bătrân to the merchants of Braşov, was an important custom point, voivodal residence and later on, monastery. Following a project of restoration proposed by the architect C. Hoinărescu, archaeological excavations in the area of the Medieval Court were resumed in 2005. Excavations during two seasons (2005, 2006) aimed to verify and complete the results of the previous research undertook by N. Constantinescu, research that was abruptly stopped in the mid-1960-ies. The recent investigations provided new data about structures from interior of the Voivodal Court area, identifying a first habitation level going back to the 15th century. Also, the existing information referring to the cellar of the Voivodal House was completed with new data and a new chronological interpretation of other structures was proposed. A new opened surface (located in the north-east corner of the second medieval enclosure) allowed the identification a long-term inhabited area, with the same evolution from the mud-bricks constructions to stone ones.

Keywords: neobyzantine; church; architecture; style; modernism
“Was there an European Neobyzantinism?”, a first answer would be given by the existence of a neobyzantine architecture in the Balkan countries: Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, where the major political events were supported by the Orthodox Church. Also sporadic buildings of this type were built in Russia, France, Spain and Denmark as a result of regional movements. Since neobyzantinism is a feature of the religious architecture in the geographical area of Balkan Peninsula and in the center of Europe, the style is best represented. The occurrence is related, as in the Romanian area, to the movement for liberation of people, of nationalism, to the restoration of historic buildings, to the generation of architects who returned to their countries will contribute to the modernization of cities and not least on account of modernism.

Keywords: Noul Neamţ Monastery; historiography; book collections
The history of the Noul Neamţ Monastery (1864), both ecclesiastic and secular, is known mainly by sources published in the late 19th - early 20th centuries. Few papers written in recent years do not cover the entire variety of issues regarding the history of the monastery and its library. Large contribution to the historiography of the monastic library introduced hieromonk Andronic (1820-1893), who compiled the first catalogues of the collection. These catalogues require complex research involving long-term work with book collections in Moscow (State Historical Museum, Funds of Barsov and Shchukin), Saint-Petersburg (Library of the Academy of Sciences, Fund of Yatsimirsky) and in local archives (National Archives of the Republic of Moldova), which houses most of the catalogues (1864-1962) and a collection of books from the Noul Neamţ monastic library (1199 volumes).

Keywords: Armenian immigration; Moldova; Armenian community; trade; crafts
Oppressed by the Persians and Turks, many Armenians were forced to leave their homeland and immigrate to different European countries: Poland, Italy, Moldova, Holland, and France. Armenian colonies in Moldova were important centers even before the founding of the principality. They enjoyed internal autonomy and had special privileges from the Moldavian rulers.In the Principality of Moldova of the second half of the 18th - early 19th centuries, the Armenian colonies existed in the cities of Botoşani, Roman, Iaşi, Galaţi, Hotin, Chişinău, Orhei, Tighina, Ismail, Chilia, Akkerman, and Focşani. Since the land was the property of the local social elite and as a rule was not sold to foreigners, including the Armenians, the main occupations in the Armenian colonies were trade and crafts. The ethnic Armenians rented lands for breeding horses and cattle. In the Prut-Dniester region they bred mainly horses. The Moldavian rulers granted the Armenian merchants with many privileges for the substantial incomes to the state treasury. Local Armenians were exempted from customs duties when exported horses grown on their own pastures. Along with the lease, the Armenian merchants eventually have obtained the right to buy estates.The Armenian community played an important role in the Moldavian economics, contributing to the development of the entrepreneurship and capitalist relations. Later, the Armenians were mainly assimilated by the local population, thus participating in the process of national bourgeoisie creation.

More...Keywords: ethics; promotion; responsibility; marketing; tourists;
The marketing activity is a complex one that launches debates on various topics, including various areas such as: economic, philosophical, psychological, etc. Every individual who turns into a tourist looks for the best options and the most advantageous prices, however, considering the quality-price ratio. Owners of pensions play an important role in the tourism activity, since they are the ones that help to create a good image of the area. However, the hostels compete with the big hotel chains, which is why it is necessary to have a profile of the tourist, but also have an adequate behavior in relation to the business partners. In this paper we analyze the importance of ethics and moral responsibility in marketing, putting emphasis on how the landlords relate to the consumer, namely the tourist.

Keywords: diglossy; Italian linguistic reality; Angelo Beolco; Ruznate; Andrea Zanzotto
Il contributo mette a fuoco la realtà linguistica italiana attraverso la produzione artistica di due autori, Angelo Beolco (1496?–1542), detto Ruzante, e Andrea Zanzotto (1921–2011), che consentono di penetrare profondamente nella “questione della lingua” di due periodi cronologicamente lontani, ma essenzialmente collegati tra loro da una costante: la diglossia che, da sempre, caratterizza quell’intarsio linguistico e culturale che è l’Italia. In definitiva, raccogliendo l’invito contenuto nel titolo del convegno, la sfida che può venire dall’approccio a questi due autori è quella di consentire una più completa conoscenza dell’italianità.The aim of this contribution is to draw attention to the complexity of the Italian linguistic scenario by examining the literary production of Angelo Beolco called ‘Ruzante’ (1496?–1542) and Andrea Zanzotto (1921–2011). These authors’ works, chronologically distant from each other, have a decisive linguistic aspect in common, i.e. the situation of diglossia that has always been a characteristic feature of our country. Now the fact that, in their production, they both chose to draw on the complex repertoire of linguistic uses they had at their disposal sheds light on the age-old question about the reflection on language in Italy.

Keywords: Natalia Ginzburg; theatre; gender studies; masculinity; comedy.
This paper offers an analysis of masculinity in Natalia Ginzburg’s pièce, Ti ho sposato per allegria. A survey based on this same positioning has already been conducted by other scholars who have often studied writer's novels and non-fiction production. From our point of view, the Ginzburg theatre deserves greater attention as a privileged place in which a revolutionary vision of the relationships between women and men is expressed. The analysis conducted with the lens of gender studies applied to literature will be able to add one more piece to the extensive study that has already been carried out on Ginzburg's texts. We will begin by framing the play starting from the drafting of the list of characters’ peculiarities of those who are present and of those who are not; we will continue the study focusing on the speaking male characters - Pietro - and on those "spoken", that is, described and told in absentia by the people on stage. The final purpose of the contribution will be to give an account of the male characters of the text, often inadequate as they are removed from a stereotypical heroic, muscular and hegemonic dimension typical of the literary and non-literary tradition.

In this conference, Professor George Banu discusses how the certain spirit of a specific place can influence theatre and performing arts. Greek theatre, Elizabethan theatre and théâtre à l’italienne are the main concepts he refers to and he is constantly preoccupied by how the audience will find its place in such a context. In the same time, the author is focusing on the direct connection between nature and theatre, as he considers this has a huge impact on the venues and on the audience. George Banu considers that some European cities have certain key places that are apparently inappropriate for plays, but they turned out to be true artistic hotspots: Paris (La Cartoucherie and Bouffes du Nord) and Sibiu (The Culture Factory).

Keywords: emotion; theatre; psychology; time; action; memory;
What is left as a psychological projection for the viewer when he or she leaves the theatre? There are questions that demand answers regarding how to relate the theatrical image to events in the present or past. The variety of responses, over the years, has a complex socio-cultural relevance. Conventions, proposed for transgression in fictional universes, produce the temporal suspension that together give the feeling of the shared/assumed real. Theatre is a form of recognition and rediscovery of universal human feelings. Human depths cannot be communicated through current technological means of mediation. The art of theatre proposes a rearrangement, a discipline for identifying the dangers that threaten contemporary society. We thus find our human connection with the metaphysical life that exists in ultimate reality.
