The material deconstruction of the sexual body (Eizo case) is designed to dissolve the border between natural and technological, the same way postmodernism has overthrown the soul-body paradigm. From here, pornography penetrates our intimate space in the shape of gadgets and kitsch. The result is the occurrence of simulated unprofessional pornography – amateur pornography. Sexuality’s surrender before a derisory fragmentation of the bodies is made concurrent with a reassertion of the erotic reference system. The latter suffers a conceptual transformation through what pornography administrates under the auspices of the new transgressive methods offered by the principles of consumption. And the important thing in this new paradigm is not the process of consumption and objectification of the sexual body, by the elimination of the human’s natural state, implying an instinctual sexuality, concealed by the libido code and the instatement of an artificial state, constructed on the mechanical fragmentation of the sexual ritual.

The historian Prof. Carol Göllner PhD. (1911-1995) was a very successful scientist born in Medias. As a student he won the favor and recognition of the Romanian Prime Minister of the time, Nicolae Iorga, who supported him to continue his studies in Paris. On his return to Romania in 1945, Göllner got caught in the clutches of the Secret Service and one year later, in 1946 he had to defend himself before the military court, being charged of supposed high treason. Due to the intervention of a group of historians from Cluj (for example. Prof. Constantin Daicoviciu) he was acquitted from the charge and started working as the director of the periodical “Forschungen zur Volks-und Landeskunde”. Here he developed for many years a rich publishing activity and became a member of the most outstanding scientific institutions and panels in Communist Romania. In 1981 Göllner retired and in 1990 he migrated to Germany. The author aims at presenting objectively the manifold interrelation between Dr. Carol Göllner and the Romanian “Securitate” Service.

The Romanian thinker, Lucian Blaga, makes a distinction between two types of knowledge. The first type represents the empirical knowledge while the second form corresponds to the theoretical or hypothetical knowledge. Although the last one is uncertain and problematical, it wakes up the reaction of the Great Anonymous, (a totalitarian authority), which tries to stop it using the instrument of censorship. This study analyses various forms of censorship during history till to Romania of our days.
