Dacă acceptăm că etnicitatea se defineşte printr-un ansamblu de trăsături ce caracterizează o etnie, atunci avem datoria să identificăm în primul rând momentele care contribuie la conturarea şi afirmarea acestei etnii, evident prin deosebirea ei de alte elemente etnice. Astfel suntem tentaţi să urmărim evoluţia conceptualizării sale, prin surprinderea şi prezentarea calităţilor sale definitorii, aşa cum se reflectă ele în gândirea timpului. De aceea, considerăm că trebuie să începem cu recitirea operelor cronicarilor români, având ca direcţie de cercetare formele de... (citeste mai mult)

En tant que journal représentatif pour l’époque communiste entière, « Scânteia » a promû, pendant les années 60, la doctrine politique du Parti Communiste, que tous les gens devaient mettre en pratique. Les opinions des écrivains et des critiques littéraires enrôlés parmi les activistes du parti, fermement exprimées, soutiennent l’idéologie et le projet utopique de la république communiste à venir. En ruinant la littérature – subordonnée à la politique officielle – les idées que le journal porte mettent entre parenthèses... (citeste mai mult)

Being a well-known Romantic personality, Ion Heliade Rădulescu builds up utopian universes reflecting the main cultural, social and political ideas of his epoch but never to become practical due to their over-complex construction. In his attempt to adapt Hugo’s pattern of The Legend of Centuries (“Legenda secolelor”), Heliade creates a large poem entitled Anatolida which is meant to re-write the main cosmogonic moments in a personal view. From an ideological perspective, his work is highly eclectic. Thus, in Anatolida, the... (citeste mai mult)

Lucrarea pune problema marcării culturale a comunicării nonverbale. Chiar dacă o serie de elemente ale codurilor nonverbale se caracterizează prin universalitate (de exemplu semnalele transmise prin mimică), nu este mai puţin adevărat că diferitele culturi pot alege să exprime aceleaşi conţinuturi (sentimente, emoţii, nevoi) în moduri diferite. Aceste variaţii fac obiectul de interes al comunicării interculturale nonverbale. Practic, cele mai multe forme ale comunicării nonverbale nu pot fi interpretate decât în interiorul graniţelor culturii în care se produc. Globalizarea a... (citeste mai mult)

Negation is a language mechanism that is used quite frequently in advertising. Double negative ads are highly novel because the format is unexpected and incongruent. Their contrastive nature, beginning with extremely negative imagery which is later disassociated from the brand of interest, is attention-grabbing. In fact, the exaggerated negative imagery may serve as a reference point to which the brand of interest is later compared to, which would create a large contrast effect and make the brand of interest seem...

Dans le contexte actuel technologique et informationnel, la compréhension des modalités par lesquelles les gens filtrent la réalité quotidienne par des stéréotypes s’avère une exigence objective. Appliquer des pensées rigides, répétitives dans la perception sociale, dans l’élaboration des interférences ou dans la formation des impressions a comme conséquence l’inefficacité en communication par l’induction de la confusion, des interprétations erronées et dissonantes du point de vue affectif cognitif par rapport au contexte relationnel. L’inertie des stéréotypes constitue l’ennemi invisible des relations... (citeste mai mult)

Depuis Althusser, nous savons que tout discours (idéologique ou non) produit ou induit un effet de subjectivité. Encore faut-il préciser la nature de ses effets. Partant d’une conception du discours héritée des « structuralistes » français, le rapport du sujet avec le discours idéologique est interrogée à l’aûne du discours sectaire. Si par discours, l’on entend la disposition et l’articulation dans le champ social de signifiants en tant que cet agencement structure le rapport entre les individus et donc détermine...

The political censorship during the communist era in Romania, triggers off the so-called exile. The Romanian writers, who, choosing not to obey the political regime, tilting toward a literature of reality, aesthetic, transparent and open, and giving up not only the hermetism of the words, but also the hiding of the truth, are forced to choose the painful path of alienation. For some, the journey to another realm proves to be a one way road into nothingness. Romanian writer and... (citeste mai mult)

Acţiunea se petrece într-un Bucureşti comunist în care Preşedintele îşi construieşte mitul conducătorului prin ruperea prezentului proletar de trecutul corupt al boierimii şi înfiinţarea societăţii civice. Această societate presupune acte groteşti ale Preşedintelui (scris cu majusculă) care se consideră întruparea divinităţii. Dorinţa lui de a rămâne în memoria statului său chiar şi după ce va muri este privită cu umor negru: „Deşi era în viaţă, Preşedintele voia să-şi asigure nemurirea, să intre în memoria secolelor.

Cătălin Mihuleac is widely known in Romania as a journalist, author of different articles and lampoons published in various periodicals from Iaşi and from all over the country. In Our Country the Pig and the Fir Tree Are Brothers is a sketch in which black humour and satire combine wonderfully in a unique way, characteristic to Cătălin Mihuleac. Mihuleac’s satire is not bitter and vexing, like that of Swift, thus his black humour is mild and waggish. If the main... (citeste mai mult)

If we agree, and we do, that every piece of writing is in essence a testament (Derrida), then readers, present at its reading, willingly compete in discovering what the writer bestows on each of them. This becomes more conspicuous in the many transnational appropriations of those writers that entered the collective unconscious. The three Romanian appropriations of Nabokov we propose to discuss in the present paper (Catalina Buzoianu’s stage adaptation “Lolita”, 2002; Mihai Zamfir’s novel Fetita/ The Little Girl, 2003;...

The present paper aims at demonstrating that in this age of globalization, which has rendered discourse problematic and utterly clichéd, the contemporary writer faces a new challenge: that of rendering private experience through a language that would be meaningful and that would, at the same time, still preserve its artistic appeal. In this context, the fiction of contemporary British writer Jeanette Winterson is ‘rooted in silence’ (Winterson 169), a narrative technique which she uses extensively in order to figure her...

The contemporary period is characterized by the undeniable influence of the globalization phenomenon at various levels of human endeavour, which has reshaped the workplace skills array. Responding to the workplace globalization trend, tertiary education students, the future employees in a globally oriented environment, seek to develop a new range of both hard, but mainly soft skills, in order to be better equipped to perform successfully in an enlarged multinational environment. It has therefore become crucial for the higher education to... (citeste mai mult)

La postmodernité reflète les conséquences de la globalisation comme phénomène, idéologie ou stratégies. La littérature postmoderne est carractérisée de l’éclectisme de la postmodernité en général.

Notre étude se propose de traiter et de décrire la figure du lecteur chez Maurice Blanchot, telle qu’elle apparaît dans L’espace littéraire. Dans sa recherche, Maurice Blanchot voit le lecteur comme le seul qui fait l’effort de produire un livre. Par son acte de lecture, le lecteur donne un sens particulier à l’oeuvre. Il réussit à faire apparaître un livre par sa lecture parce qu’il s’approprie le texte qu’il découvre jusqu’à le transformer. Cela signifie que le livre commence à... (citeste mai mult)

Obţinerea, păstrarea şi recunoaşterea de către ceilalţi a puterii politice necesită deopotrivă eforturi susţinute, recurgerea la mijloace variate de supunere şi impunere a recunoaşterii superiorităţii. Pentru societatea medievală însă, acestea capătă şi o dimensiune religioasă, alături de cea diplomatică, respectiv cotidiană. Toate acestea se observă şi în societatea românească extracarpatică premodernă, asupra căreia ne vom opri atenţia, mai ales pentru perioada secolelor XVII-XVIII. Având ca puncte de reper raporturile interstatale, relaţiile Stat-Biserică, precum şi relaţiile din cadrul comunităţii româneşti, am... (citeste mai mult)

Analizat în raport cu principiile riguroase care caracterizează terminologia ştiinţifică, lexicul politic actual apare ca un tip de terminologie aflat în formare şi caracterizat, pe de o parte, ca fiind un cod deschis, iar pe de altă parte, prin mobilitate contextuală, de la care derivă, ca efect imediat, ambiguitatea sensului.

Im Kontext von Globalisierung, staatlichem Wandel und Denationalisierung erfahren Mehrebenenpolitiken in den Internationalen Beziehungen eine wachsende Bedeutung. Dabei wird in verschiedenen Politikfeldern beobachtet, wieRessourcen, Aufgaben und Legitimation von der nationalstaatlichen auf die sub- sowie auf die supranationale Ebenen verlagert werden und analysiert, ob und wie Mehrebenenstrukturen neue Formen des Regierens befördern bzw. behindern.

Cette étude propose une analyse théorique du concept de l’intimité mis en relation avec les instances narratives qui organise ce type de discours. En fait, on part de la prémisse que l’intimité doit être perçue comme une condition essentielle de l’homme moderne, autour de laquelle se développe une manière spécifique de vivre où on devient conscient de son intériorité, et on prouve que cette perception intime de l’existence qui déclenche une sorte de crise identitaire devient le contexte appropié pour...

La modernité et la modernisation de l’univers littéraire roumain ont été en directe liaison avec le romantisme occidental au XIXe siècle. La conscience esthétique nationale s’est révélée comme l’une des cultures débutantes, sans avoir une doctrine littéraire bien formée.

Dès le début du XIXe siècle, dans les milieux culturels roumains se manifeste l’intérêt pour la synchronisation avec la grande culture européenne. Les personnalités qui animent les premières publications en langue roumaine construisent, dans les articles-programme dont le but fondamental est de justifier la nécessité d’une presse nationale, tout un édifice argumentatif qui fait surgir l’image d’une Europe illuminée, utopie encyclopédique ayant le « foyer » dans la France des Lumières, l’espace culturel qui avait « fourni », d’ailleurs, aux...

La littérature arthurienne exprime, dans son ensemble, des contenus liés à l’éthique courtoise et à une représentation idéale du monde féodal et des chevaliers de la Table Ronde. Ce vaste répertoire de textes extrêmement disparates est le résultat d’une symbiose réalisée entre le substrat légendaire offert par la littérature celtique médiévale et les éléments historiques fixés entre 800-1155 par les chroniqueurs Geoffroy de Monmouth, Guillaume de Malmesbury et Wace.

The (e/im)migrant is an ‘interstitial’ species, destined to oscillate between the poles of two different spaces/cultures: one native and ‘peripheral’, the other adoptive and ‘central’. His drama resides in both losing contact with his source-culture and taking a feeble grip to the target-culture. A crucial criterion in establishing a writer’s affiliation to a specific literature/culture is the language of his literary production. Starting from this fundamental criterion, I will first analyze various — and somehow tragical and nostalgic — ways... (citeste mai mult)

We are interested in the period covering the beginning of the 19th century, passing from communism and the hope of democracy after 1989. Also, there are differences among countries belonging to the Median Europe. The Czech Republic, Hungary or Poland have managed to leave behind them communist customs and better practice democracy.

Stereotyped communication is characteristic both for individuals and for communities and the functions that this type of communication fulfills are either connected to discourse organization or to the construction of gender, race, age or social identity. Stereotypes can sometimes be considered markers of belonging to a certain group, geographical area or gender and the study of their formation and proliferation mechanisms is always a challenge. The discussion of stereotyped communication should revolve around aspects such as in-group linguistic practice, cosncious... (citeste mai mult)

Comunicarea interculturală are ecouri asupra tuturor aspectelor vieţii umane, îndeosebi asupra artei (latură a umanităţii, semnificativă pentru evidenţierea relaţiilor dintre culturi).

În regiunile lumii unde diferite culturi au intrat în relaţie, uneori ca urmare a unui act de cucerire, fecunditatea creaţiei artistice a reflectat interculturalitatea.

Through the visual representations they transmit and mediate, films are one of the most accessible sites where the dynamics of cross-cultural image-making can be unravelled. Visual images carry ‘mental’ schemata that underpin the interplay between perception of the other and self-perception, constructing or deconstructing the ‘maps’ of meaning through which a particular group of people makes sense of everyday practices and experience. Starting from these theoretical premises rooted in imagology, the paper intends to analyse the form and function of... (citeste mai mult)

In an age when English is a lingua franca, intercultural communication seems to be considerably eased, since more and more people can speak this language and use it in verbal interaction and negotiation.

Without having their reality denied, the results of an unprecedentedly paced technological progress are witnessed by homo ludens with a feeling of alienation, the images presented in rapid succession, with a minor sense of the context or of the connection, resulting in the fact that an idea seems as good as any other.

Les traités de rhétorique traditionnels envisagent la figure comme étant une réalité à part dans le fonctionnement du langage. On la retrouve souvent dans des zones réservées: soit dans des domaines de la rhétorique et de la poétique, soit dans le cadre de l’élocution argumentative ou de l’esthétique littéraire. Les nouvelles approches de la figure essaient de s’éloigner de la conception de figure-altérité, figure-répertoire. Cette remise en question se fait selon deux directions principales (M.
