By examining the case of the French translation of the expression “digital humanities” (DH), this article argues that cultural diversity and multilingualism could be fostered in digital culture. If other languages have been invited and forced to welcome this English phrase, its translations have to be studied since they could potentially have strong epistemological backwash-effects on it. Through an historical etymological inquiry, it can be demonstrated that the use of the outmoded French word humanités is the most significant element in the two French expressions humanités numériques or humanités digitales. This single word opens up a specific space for humanist approaches within the open-ended digital approaches. On this base, the encounter between Humanities and hard sciences can be reconsidered, as it happens already in two examples of new DH masters in French-speaking countries.

The aim of this paper is to analyse femininity as a cinematic depiction of uniqueness in three of Abbas Kiarostami’s films, Certified Copy, Like Someone in Love and a short film included in the anthology film Tickets, investigating the problem of universality and individuality in close connection with Jacques Lacan’s formula “The Woman does not exist”. Following the psychoanalytical approach that leads us to the problem of feminine jouissance and the way women escape from the phallocentric generalisation, we will emphasize the philosophical relevance of three recurring themes in Kiarostami’s films: woman’s identity, past-present continuity and artwork originality. This approach will allow us to grasp the problem of time, uniqueness, continuity and perception in Husserlian phenomenology and Gadamer’s philosophy of art, alongside the critique of truth in Heidegger’s ontology as well as in Austin&Searle’s “speech act theory”. The nodal point of these theories will be a concept of reality involving the consciousness and the interpretive acts of a subject and the woman’s role in expressing originality

The article provides a historical point of view on foreign language teaching and learning in Bulgaria while analyzing certain opinions and conceptions of Bulgarian publishers, writers and teachers regarding this topic, discovered in the prefaces of several books published from 1830’s to 1870’s. The question of foreign language education during the Bulgarian Revival period is connected not only to the need of intercultural communication within the framework of the multilingual Ottoman Empire as well in the European context, but it also contributes to the development of the Bulgarian linguistic thought during that era. At the same time, the foundation concepts of language intellectualization and internationalization being two of the major goals of the Bulgarian standard language construction process are strongly related to the basic ideas of standardization, cultivation and high prestige of the literary language still in a stage of shaping.

The handwriting Maurizio da Castellazzo‘s dictionary is likely to be the first survived Bulgarian-Italian Dictionary of the times of the Bulgarian Revival. It was created by a Catholic missionary, probably in Rakovski area, in purpose of getting familiar with the flock of believers.
