The Uncertain Beginnings of the Sovietization of French Literature Teaching at the University of Bucharest (1948-1949). Analytical Curricula as an Instrument of Control

Les débuts hésitants de la soviétisation de la littérature française à l’Université de Bucarest (1948-1949). Les programmes analytiques comme instrument de contrôle

Author(s): Dragos Jipa / Language(s): French / Issue: 1/2021

Keywords: Sovietization;French Literature;Syllabus;University of Bucharest;

AbstractStarting from previously unexplored primary sources, namely the syllabi of french literature developed for the first time at the University of Bucharest in 1948-1949, this article aims to illustrate the transformations of foreign literature teaching in Romania at that time, in the context of the education-reform decree adopted by the new Communist regime. In the field of French literature, which was an important tool in disseminating the official ideology, the analysis of these syllabi, both from the point of view of the authors, professors trained in the interwar period, such as Nicolae N. Condeescu (1904-1966) and of the pedagogical contents conveyed (literary works, writers, explanatory discourses), shows the internal mechanisms of the Sovietizationprocess put into practice by the new regime.

Both types of texts can be distinguished by their function and characteristic features, though both are related components of the consituation of the contents of the text in terms of their approach to identifying the death of a specific person.

The Newspaper Student and the Journal Praxis: Student and Academic Periodical Press in Pursuit of University Autonomy and the Freedom of (Literary) Criticism 1968−1974

Студент и Praxis: студентска и академска периодика у борби за аутономију универзитета и слободу (књижевне) критике 1968−1974.

Author(s): Jelena Lalatović / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 178/2022

The paper explores the links between the newspaper Student, a youth periodical of unprecedented relevance both in the interwar and post-war Yugoslavia, and of overall maximum longevity, on the one hand, and a philosophical journal Praxis, on the other between 1968 and 1974. Admittedly, in 1968, the newspaper Student was censored for the first time, while the journal Praxis was definitively defunded in 1974. The research consists of four parts. The first part outlines introductory considerations about the Student’s pre-WWII history and the context (censorship and political repression against independent intellectuals and the student movement) in which Praxis emerged. Furthermore, both Student and Praxis’s editorial boards joined forces to publish the first collection of documents about the reemergence of the student movement at the University of Belgrade following the student demonstrations in June 1968. Additionally, the second part describes how the Praxis’ return to early Marx, under the motto of the ruthless criticism of everything existing, influenced the intellectual climate in which student press could practice and promote the paradigm of literary criticism, which was directly opposed to the state-sponsored concept of socialist realism. The third part examines the hypothesis that university professors gathered around the Praxis journal and the student movement all together constituted the university public sphere, which revitalized the struggle for university autonomy, one of the fundamental demands in the pre-war student movement. What is more, the circumstances regarding the university public sphere were fertile ground for the semantic autonomy of text to be articulated as a form of an anti-bureaucratic editorial policy of the student press. In conclusion, the paper elaborates on how the pursuit of university autonomy and the freedom of expression revealed what usually remains hidden when it comes to the concept of semantic autonomy of the text – its historiscity and historical development in the Yugoslav context.

The present study aims to study how the evaluations of the user interface of the Moodle platform evolve over time among its users at the Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”. For this purpose, the respondents are divided according to two criteria – students and teachers, on the one hand, and users with more than 1 year of experience or those with 0 to 1 year of experience, on the other. The survey was completed by a total of 123 respondents. The results reveal a seemingly paradoxical trend of increasing criticism of the platform as the duration of user experience increases. A possible explanation for this phenomenon is that experienced users tend to customize their platform, which leads them to encounter more difficulties.The present study aims to study how the evaluations of the user interface of the Moodle platform evolve over time among its users at the Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”.
