Regeneration through Culture: Tradition – A New Cultural Industry

Between culture and tradition there has been developed, over the time, a new conection witch has been created due to human existence. Thus, the tradition cannot exist but within the frame of culture, whereas culture cannot creat a meaningful impact but within tradition. Tradition recalls the representative moments, customs, architecture and social relations of communities’ cultures. It is imposibile to assess the community environment without looking at what marked her existence: namely tradition. Tradition can therefore be the main vector of future cultural strategies. Cultural heritage can be accordingly identified as the new cultural industry.

Keywords: traditional culture, cumulative culture, development, comunities, cultural industry

The involvement and the role of art in the #rezist civic actions in Romania

The present paper analyses the presence of art and artists during the largest protests from post-communist Romania, known as the #rezist protests. The research is applied to the protests from two perspectives: the first refers to the way in which, especially well-known, artists become influencers of protest movements, by joining the protesters in the streets, by intensively using social media or by creating artistic products that support the protests; the second perspective refers to the identification of various forms of action that entail a significant artistic component, employed by protesters in order to accomplish the desired results: mobilisation of participants, generating solidarity or gaining the media‘s attention. In this research we have combined quantitative and qualitative analysis of data in order to explore the presence of the artistic dimension during the protests from the beginning of 2017. The active involvement of notorious Romanian artists from different fields was unprecedented in Romania, as they had an important contribution in promoting the dominant way of thinking and, consequently, in creating a sense of solidarity and mobilising people. Activism was visible online and offline, as protesters showed their creativity in slogans, banners with humorous, ironic or uncompromising images and messages, in spectacular choreographies and laser projections but also in releasing manifesto-songs.

The Relevance Of Social Learning Designs in Society 5.0 – Edmodo and Smart Education –

In the attempt to accommodate the shift from society 4.0 to society 5.0, the higher education is required to incorporate native edutech models. The acceptance rate of such designs may be correlated with the adoption rate of the platforms that already enjoy widespread popularity. One such model that builds on the social networking architecture is Edmodo. Known as a social learning instrument, the Edmodo educational platform models significantly on Facebook’s social architecture and delivers a lucrative yet informal type of class design. Forming and delivering relevant and competitive knowledge, skills and abilities, mandates for the exploration of education as a lifestyle concept as well as for its quality of life implications in the era of ICT.

Expresia latinității în fitonimia românească din sudul Transilvaniei

Autor: Radu DRĂGULESCU

Expression of Latinity in Romanian Phytonymy from Southern Transylvania

On several occasions we presented the close connection between man and the plant world and the facts that underlie the denomination and connotation in this plan. Ethnobotany is a fertile source of information for (anthropological) linguistic research. Phononymy reveals the concerns, representations and affective subconscious of the people. The plant names have been suggested to humans by the mysterious “codes” present in the morphology, chromatics, smell, taste, constitution of plant species. Other phytonyms have derived from the different properties of the plants, from their ecology, corology and phenology, from the relationships with other living beings. The fact that they were recorded in various writings is a win for both the Romanian ethnobotany, as well as for linguistics and history.
Our work demonstrates the Latin origins of the Romanian language and the propagation of Latinity through botanical terminology, a phenomenon of considerable importance that has not yet been revealed. In this paper we analyze the phytonyms from Southern Transylvania and their implications in linguistic structures.

Des blocages dans les transferts entre la langue-source et la langue-cible

Autor: Dorin COMȘA

Interlocks and Transfers between the Source Language and the Target Language

The article proposes a didactical perspective regarding the issue of transfers and interlocks ocurring in the process of translation, starting from the analysis of several text fragments translated from French into Romanian. The students approach translation either as result (text), or as process (meta-approach); in both situations, this raises a series of specific questions – starting with the subjective assessment of a translation’s level of difficulty (why does it seem easy or difficult?), continuing with its nature (how can one understand a specialized discourse ?), and reaching to specific discussions regarding the role, limitations, and frredoms of the translator.

Lamartine’s Voyage to the Orient: The Christian Poet and the Temptation of Syncretism

The journey of Lamartine to the Orient was crucial for the poet as well as for the future political man and thinker Lamartine. The wish to reach the Orient -a permanent wish for the spirit – materialized itself in a journey during which he lost his daughter but with the help of which he discovered the traces of God on Earth and began to think about the uniqueness of the Being and of the World, a philosophical foundation of a possible union of civilizations and of a religious syncretism.

Critical Reactions to and Early Research into Shakespeare’s Bawdy (Wordplay) in Romania(n)

Critical Reactions to and Early Research into Shakespeare’s Bawdy (Wordplay) in Romania(n)

Shakespeare’s wordplay and bawdy have largely been neglected for most of the playwright’s history in Romania. The only mentions made of this topic are often relegated to the occasional brief remark in paratexts or fleeting statements regarding characters that often deploy such language or stylistic device. Therefore, one cannot speak of a Romanian critical tradition in the case of Shakespeare’s obscene vocabulary and ribald puns. However, several hypotheses on the evolution of scholarly and translational attitudes towards these instances of language can be extracted from these sporadic comments and the quantitative and qualitative analyses conducted on the translation of the playwright’s bawdy and wordplay into Romanian. What this article aims to achieve is, on the one hand, to demonstrate that critiques of Shakespeare pun/ bawdy translation long predate contemporary studies of this kind and, on the other, to highlight the premises they give way to, which future research may validate or refute.

The Attraction to Endlessness

The Attraction to Endlessness

The human mind is made to desire the ending of every started action. In certain circumstances, as long as it doesn’t know the ending and neither the moment of the ending, it becomes restless and curious, prisoner of the time between the beginning and the end of an action. From the psychological view, the triggered and unfulfilled desire represents the basis of the so-called Zeigarnik effect, which was well studied in psychology and used in advertising. Sometimes an action that was initiated but impossible to finish causes an anxious effect for the human mind, as it is illustrated by the torments captured by the Ancients in the image of the Danaides’s barrel or the Sisyphus’s huge stone that must roll up a hill. Other times, the art to postpone the end means to preserve life, such is the case of the Scheherazade who tells never-ending stories to the king in order to offer him suspense and to keep her alive for one more night and so on. Music and sculpture also capture something about the idea of endlessness through the infinite melody and the Endless Column.

“These Things Don’t Go Away”: Jeffrey Eugenides’s “Fresh Complaint” – a Postcolonial Reading

“These Things Don’t Go Away”: Jeffrey Eugenides’s “Fresh Complaint” – a Postcolonial Reading

Following a six year publishing break in the aftermath of his novel The Marriage Plot that appeared in 2011, the story collection Fresh Complaint was published in 2017 and contains ten stories focusing on Jeffrey Eugenides’ core topics of interest: the impossibility of coherent identity construction, personal and social loneliness and isolation, and the frailness and ephemerality of human connections. “Fresh Complaint”, the story that gives the collection its title, offers a postcolonial image of twenty-first century America, India and England, while keeping with the theme dearest to Eugenides’ heart: the gasping void that fills all human interaction and communication. The story masterfully thematizes one of postcolonialism’s central concerns, the one of the generational and cultural gap between first and second generation immigrants. The present paper’s attempt is to offer a postcolonial reading of Eugenides’ text, while also placing it in relation to his previous writings and main thematic concerns.

Cum și de ce se învață frumusețea. “Rhyme-Subject” la Ezra Pound

How and Why To Learn Beauty.“Rhyme-Subject” at Ezra Pound

The present study is focused on Ezra Pound’s two book-length essays, ABC of Reading and Guide to Kulchur, reading them from the perspective of what Ezra Pound first-called in a letter from 1927 to his father the “subject-rhyme” – namely “an ideogram of space and time”, as Pound also calls it somewhere else, that superposes heteregeneous cultural spaces and periods and constructs a sophisticated ideogram proving the strange continuities contiguities of beauty. Thus, reformations in art are for Pound always stemming deep into the tradition; and they involve not only the matter of literature – but essential matters concerning the human from economics, monetary theory, anthropology, history of the arts, history of philosophy etc. The “subject-rhyme” shows both how the complicated nature of beauty is a heteregenous ideogram traversing time – and also how it collects essential information about the human from various fields of knowledge, in order to reinvent the human on a superior scale – what Dante called trasumanare (Paradise, I 70).

Proza lui M. Blecher și a Hortensiei Papadat- Bengescu: între experiență augmentată și ficțiune. II: Manifestări ale tuberculozei

The Prose of M. Blecher and Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu:
Between Augmented Experience and Fiction. II: Displays of Tuberculosis

The present research approaches comparatively the development of somatic-psychological frailties in the fictions of M. Blecher and Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu and explains—by referencing medical treatises—the ways in which illness, be it psychological or physical, bridges the relationship between characters and their external and internal worlds. Identifying a doubly determined link between disease and the personal and social conditions of its appearance and development, the study consists of two parts, with the current (the second one) complementing the first one and capturing the evolution of the characters Emanuel and Maxențiu in relation to the common illness they are suffering from (tuberculosis) and its distinctive branches (bone and pulmonary TB).

Keywords: Romanian literature, Romanian prose, M. Blecher, Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu, pathologic behavior, biographical criticism.

Eliade și Cioran, în oglindă. Subtextele biografice și ideologice ale unei polemici din 1933

Eliade and Cioran, in the Mirror. Biographical and Ideological Subtexts of a 1933 Debate

In the summer and autumn of 1933 there takes place an interesting debate, both overt and covert, between Mircea Eliade and Emil Cioran, two significant representatives of the “young generation”. The texts involved in the intellectual duel are of different sorts: existentialist essays, reportages from Berlin, open letters, and even some fragments of fiction. The debate lies on the background of a rich, entangled extra-literary context. On the one hand, Eliade makes a turning-point decision in his private life, which affects, or more precisely hurts, a close friend of Cioran. On the other hand, the authors start to acknowledge deeper differences between their life-views, i.e. between their particular ways to define identity, an issue of great concern for them and for their ”generation”, at that time. The significance of this moment is confirmed by the fact that both writers will evoke it vividly, in their later memoirs. This article proposes a biographical and ideological reading of the polemic, by putting together some pieces written by Eliade and Cioran in the same timespan, around 1933-’34.

The Typesetter’s Luck

Although published together with Ion Luca Caragiale’s prose masterpieces in Minutes (Momente, 1901), the short story “High-life” was never considered to be one of his leading works. Nonetheless, the story did spark some interest, but this was only thanks to the riddle that Caragiale plants in his text: without any explicit identification, the narrator mentions a “terrible misprint” that must have seriously vitiated the meaning of an article commenting on the lives of the social elite, an article which was actually meant to be flattering. Critics have tried to unravel this mystery, ultimately agreeing on a single hypothesis. This present demonstration, which itself uses a title fashioned in Caragiale’s style, shows that the writer has actually implemented a very intricate narrative artifice, reaching through this farce in “High-life” the same level of mastery that we encounter in some of Caragiale’s best short works of fiction. Caragiale solicits the one and only solution to a problem that deliberately allows almost thirty possible equally plausible answers and thus invents a sui generis genre that could be called pasquinade with no slander.
