An Incursion into the Archaeological Heritage of the Gura Râului, Sibiu County (II)

Abstract: If in the first part of the research the archaeological heritage of Gura Râului was presented, on this occasion data are given on the religious buildings from the medieval (“Cuvioasa Paraschiva”) and modern („Sts. Archangels Michael and Gabriel”) periods, respectively on the disappeared medieval monastery (Schwarzen Klosters). The presentation of the medieval, pre-modern and modern heritage of Gura Râului revealed a different potential from the one found by classification. On the one hand, the well known one, of which the “old church” is not missing, on the other hand, a known but ignored heritage. Particular attention is drawn to the two 18th-century objectives whose existence, although proven, has not aroused sufficient interest or a coherent effort to map, classify and protect them: the stone quarry and the Gura Râului – Sibiu navigable canal, part of a project dating from 1702-1703. Their identification in the field, aerial photographic documentation and cartographic recovery of the period have been the preoccupations of the last years, materialized in this article.

Keywords: Gura Râului, medieval church, stone quarry, navigable canal, technical heritage.

National Minorities in the Contemporary Romanian Cinema: From Cheap Exotism to Self- Representation

Autor: Daniel IFTENE
Email: daniel.iftene@ubbcluj.ro

Abstract: This study aims to map the representation of national minorities in Romanian fiction films from 1990 to 2021 and to highlight the main mechanisms employed by local filmmakers to portray the local multicultural landscape. Starting with the films of the transition period and the approaches of directors like Lucian Pintilie and Mircea Daneliuc in reflecting on the minority-majority relationship, the study offers a comparison with three fiction films where authors from ethnic minorities themselves take control of narratives about their own communities. By doing so, these filmmakers—Radu Gabrea, Toma Enache and Alina Șerban—shape the discourse generated about their communities. Thus, the study seeks to shed light on both the transition toward self-representation of ethnic minorities in contemporary fiction films and the differences between these moments of self-representation and former cinematic depictions of local ethnic minorities.

Die fotografische Erzählung der Deutsche Migration und die Konsolidierung des chilenischen Nationalstaates

The Photographic Narrative of the German Migration and the Consolidation of the Chilean Nation 

Abstract: This article presents an iconological analysis of heritage photographs, that were taken during the migration process of the 19th and early 20th centuries from Germany to Chile and still impact in the present. The photos are conserved in collections in several archives in Chile and were published in different illustrated books, that were financed by the Chilean state in the context of the bicentenary of the Republic (2010). From the visual and critical heritage studies approach, photographs will be contrasted against period literature and contemporary assessments to discern the discursive and aesthetic devices, that are used to elaborate a visual narrative of southern Chile. In this way, images are understood as “readable” elements that, on the one hand, present synchronously and, on the other hand, tell a diachronic story. Heritage photography is selected to represent southern Chile in a specific time period. Cultural heritage is therefore analyzed as an institutional process in which different social agents define historical and aesthetic content as valuable and essential in a certain structure.

Enhancing Resilience Against War-Related Disinformation: Insights from Diagnostic Studies and Interventions at Polish Schools

Autor: Katarzyna MOLEK-KOZAKOWSKA
Email: molekk@uni.opole.pl

Abstract: This paper reports on design and results of implementation of a series of diagnostic studies and interventions devoted to building up resilience against disinformation regarding the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, with a special focus on Polish teenagers. The initiative, called DisInfoResist, was conducted in the spring of 2024, and was motivated by the need to engage in co-creation with partner schools in order to propose a series of tailored actions given the ongoing hybrid war. However, adequate resilience-enhancing interventions can only be based on a thorough diagnosis of needs and competence gaps. Such diagnosis was undertaken in DisInfoResist with localized data collected through thematic analysis of 20 oral histories, 2 focus group sessions and 87 narrative auto-ethnographies. The subsequent piloted interventions addressed to a group of Polish secondary school students represented a way to boost their resilience against war-related disinformation by allowing them to practice their critical media literacy competences via a variety of specifically tailored activities related to critical language awareness, responding to fake news, overcoming disengagement, recognizing sensationalist media practices and algorithmic patterns.

Keywords: Russian-Ukrainian war, disinformation, DisInfoResist. diagnostic studies, critical language awareness.

Conflict Representations: Analyzing the Polarization of Men’s and Women’s Images in Romanian Media Coverage of the Russian-Ukrainian War

Autor: Denisa-Maria BÂLC, Iulia-Maria TICĂRĂU
Email: denisa.fratean@ulbsibiu.ro

Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyze according to what criteria the image of woman is reflected in the news regarding the Russian-Ukrainian war in the Romanian mass media using content analysis, critical discourse analysis and imagology as research methods. The starting point of our research is the compilation of a representative corpus of 750 news texts published in 2022, from which we will analyze those containing keywords referring to the female gender in the title in order to highlight the approach used in the media discourse to frame the image of women during military conflicts. In our analysis we will consider three main directions: (1) a representation of the image of the woman using the thematic classification and the concepts of front line, respectively homefront, (2) a polarization of the image of the woman compared to the image of the man, and (3) a panorama of the way in which the two belligerent states of Ukraine and Russia are reflected in the Romanian press from an ethnic and a gender outlook.

The Pursuit of Post-Authorship: The Ascending Ecology of the World-Author

Autor: Alex CIOROGAR
Email: alexandru.ciorogar@ubbcluj.ro

Abstract: This paper develops a world-systems and theoretical analysis of the mechanisms of production and uneven distribution of authoriality in the global literary field. Its title is therefore intentionally duple in its ambiguity: the pursuit of authorship will be shown, simultaneously, as the action of pursuing something as a career (the writer who wishes to become a professional author, for instance, by writing and publishing a text or what I will call the author’s work) and, in parallel, as an activity of a specified and specialized kind (the entire range of elements and processes involved in the social production of authorship or what will be defined as the work of authorship). To this end, the function of world-authorship and its emergent model of ascension will be both situated within the neoliberal regime of capitalist production and the sphere of world literary studies by pursuing the contours and implications of a materialist, posthuman, and ecological approach, while also hinting at its value and processes indexed in terms of forms, figures, functions, and forces. Finally, then, understood within the post-theoretical conjuncture unfolding today, post-authorship will be defined as both a commodity and a world-apparatus.

Corpul invalid în modernismul periferic: Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu, între import și autohtonism

The Invalid Body in The Peripheric Modernism: Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu, between Import and Autochtonism

Abstract: This article presents a socio-literary analysis of the “invalid body” as depicted in Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu’s novels Disheveled Virgins (Fecioarele despletite, 1926) and Concert from Bach’s Music (Concert din muzică de Bach, 1927), within the context of the rise of eugenicist ideologies in interwar Romania. By comparing these portrayals of disability with representations of illness in other contemporary European novels, I explore the anachronistic relationship between the peripheral literary space of Romania and the central literary cultures of England and France. The methodology combines disability studies with key theoretical frameworks, including dysmodernism (Davis, 2019) and the concepts of the dys-/disarticulated (Berger, 2014), which are instrumental in understanding the depiction of the disabled body in 20th century European literature. I argue that the scientific discourses serve as a key factor in the social marginalization of the invalid characters in Papadat-Bengescu’s novels, where illness is not portrayed as the result of personal or psychological trauma but rather as a direct consequence of genetic inheritance. Through this analysis, I aim to highlight the terminological and conceptual differences between the literary center and periphery, focusing on the cultural reception of Papadat-Bengescu’s work in Romania and its social and ideological implications within the broader European context.

Border Crossings: Towards a New Typology in Contemporary Immigrant Writing

Autor: Georgeta MATEI
Email: georgetamovila@umfst.ro

Abstract: This paper reveals how contemporary immigrant authors challenge the conventions of autobiography as conceptualized by Philippe Lejeune in self-referential novels that blur the boundaries between fiction and reality, storytelling and truth-telling. We investigate the reality-fiction binary in the works of such authors as J.M. Coetzee, Salman Rushdie, W.G. Sebald, Aleksandar Hemon, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Junot Díaz, and Ocean Vuong, and show how their self-referential literary productions alter the way we perceive notions of truth and authenticity in contemporary literature. By combining a reader-oriented analysis with a postructuralist inquiry on writing and reading, we aim at providing a more comprehensive understanding of life writing in transnational immigrant narratives.

Emigrarea ca miracol: Banatul ca loc miraculos al primelor treceri de frontieră

Autor: Ferenc VINCZE

Emigration as a Miracle: Banat as the Miraculous Place of the First Border Crossings

Abstract: This paper focuses on a recurring scene in fiction about emigration, the crossing of physical and geographical borders. The practice of crossing borders is an act of separation from the home, the familiar, and can be understood as a trigger for the later consequences of emigration, since this act creates the situation in which the emigrant experiences himself as a stranger, as a different person in the destination. In the literature on Eastern Europe, there have been many texts that thematize the act of crossing borders, but this thesis will focus on how the first—and to this extent most prominent—border crossing leading to emigration can be linked to the phenomenon of the miracle and, at the same time, to the region of Banat.
