HISTORY AND POLITICS IN COMMUNISM (1917-1965). THE CASE OF THE MOLDOVAN (AUTONOMOUS) SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLIC

ISTORIE ŞI POLITICĂ ÎN COMUNISM (1917-1965). CAZUL R(A)SS MOLDOVENEŞTI

Author(s): Adrian Dolghi / Language(s): English,Romanian

Keywords: higher education in the field of history; CPSU ideological campaigns: Marxist education; the Soviet model of higher education; national history in the context of Soviet history

Interaction between politics and history as science and object of study occurred within the Soviet Union totalitarian communist regime. It affected the education and research systems, which were subordinate to the interests of the Communist Party and those of the Soviet state. History as a process, science and object of study was a continuous subject of the totalitarian state politics, while serving as an instrument of sovietisation policy and establishment of a new man and a new society. The policy of the Soviet state in higher education in the field of history was part of the sovietisation process and implantation of the communist ideology, initiated in Soviet Russia after the coup of 1917 and which continued during the USSR after its creation in 1922, and all territories included afterwards. The policy of the Soviet state in the higher education in the field of history represented the interaction between the political factor (the state with all its central and local institutions, Party organizations and staff at all levels, and state officials) and history (higher education and research institutions in the field of history, the educational, learning and research process, and scientists – historians)

Byzantine Coinage in the Carpathian-Nistrian Regions during the 6th – 10th Centuries

Moneda bizantină în regiunile carpato-nistrene în secolele VI-X

Author(s): Sergiu Musteaţă / Language(s): Romanian

Keywords: Byzantine Coinage; Carpathian-Nistrian Regions; 6-10 centuries

The purpose of the study is the analysis of numismatic sources by relating monetary discoveries to the historic phenomena and processes in the 6th-10th centuries, which took place in both Byzantium and the Carpathian-Dniester regions. The study objectives are to update the repertoire of individual numismatic discoveries and monetary hoards; to file numismatic discoveries; to establish concentration zones and insight processes; to determine the evolution and fluctuation of Byzantine coins according to their issuers, value rate, production shops and to delimit certain chronological stages of minimal and maximum intensity. The research sources are the Byzantine coins from the 6th-10th centuries attested in the Carpathian-Dniester regions. As a rule, the coins represent accidental discoveries either detached or grouped in hoards. In this study a sample of 582 Byzantine coins produced from the reigns of Anastasias I (491-518) to Basil II (976-1025) is catalogued, among which the place of discovery and issue are known for 189 coins, 20 coins are of unknown issue, 48 coins are of unknown place of discovery and 325 coins are from hoards. The coins from the reign of Basil II are included only to observe the situation from the late 10th century – early 11th century. The research period. Chronologically, the study embraces the second half of the 1st millennium, a period that can be divided in two distinct phases, on the basis of which our sample is constructed: the 6th-7th and the 8th-10th centuries. The work includes Byzantine coins starting with the monetary reform of Anastasias I (491-518) and extending until the reign of Basil II (976-1025). In this period of time, 39 emperors from five dynasties (Justinian, Heraclian, Isaurian, Amorian and Macedonian) sat on the Byzantine throne. Their reigns lasted from several months to several decades.

Romanian–Hungarian Cultural Parallelisms

INTERFERENŢE CULTURALE ROMÂNO-MAGHIARE

Author(s): Imola Katalin Nagy / Language(s): Romanian

Keywords: literary and cultural paraellisms; intercultural communication; inter-war period; Transylvanianism; Romanian and the Hungarian cultural discourse;

This volume focuses on the problem of literary and cultural paraellisms between the Romanian and the Hungarian cultural and literary phenomena. Beyond some general aspects related to the topic, the first part is dedicated to the problem of intercultural communication between the Romanian and the Hungarian cultural milieu in the inter-war period, with a special emphasis on the issue of Transylvanianism. We try to identify the reasons for which this ideology failed to become one of the main facilitators of open communication between the Romanian and the Hungarian cultures. We also hint at some contemporary echoes of Transylvanianism and the changes that have occurred over the past few decades. We wanted to make a presentation of the main regional ideologies of the Transylvanian cultural and spiritual life in the inter-war period. The Hungarians’ Transylvanianism and the Romanians’ creative localism or ardelenism alike offered a wide range of key concepts and ideas that shaped/and were shaped by the cultural context of the time. Both regionalisms – Romanian and Hungarian – shared many of these concepts and ideas, although they had never really sustained an open and efficient communication, due to a series of causes. The shifts that occurred in the self-defining strategies, the communication breakdowns that characterized the relationships between the two cultural milieus and intellectual circles, the identity discourses that can be spotted in the media of that time, and the movement known as Transylvanianism are all approached with the purpose of identifying the causes that hindered (and perhaps still hinder) real and efficient communication between Romanians and Hungarians. We also attempt to offer an overview of the effects of the cultural and spiritual flourishing that marked the turn-of-the-century Vienna on the Romanian and the Hungarian cultural discourse. We focus on the most important phenomena that the Romanian and the Hungarian cultural discourses borrowed from the Viennese modernity at the turn of the century. Among these, one can cite the types of writers, literary topics (such as the theme of the Family, of strong women, the emergence of the human psyche in literature, the figure of the estranged, etc.). The second part of the volume is dedicated to the most important thematic parallelisms between the Hungarian and the Romanian prose writings, by analysing topics and/or motives like war, womanhood, wealth, freedom and the symbolism of the mountain, etc.

Introduction to translation studies or fundamental notions and concepts in translation theory and practice

Introducere în traductologie sau noţiuni şi concepte fundamentale în teoria şi practica traducerii

Author(s): Imola Katalin Nagy / Language(s): Romanian

Keywords: translation principle; translation method; translation strategy; translation technique; translation procedure; typology of realia and culturemes; extralinguistic context; cultural transfer;

The volume entitled Introduction to translation studies or fundamental notions and concepts in translation theory and practice is dedicated to a synthetic presentation of the main concepts related to the phenomenon of translation. Translation, this complex process of mediation in the multilingual universe of the globalized world, tends to become the object of study of a relatively young discipline: translation studies. Translation studies, as a science that studies both the theory and practice of translation in all its forms (verbal, written, general, or specialized), has a strong interdisciplinary character, as evidenced by careful research on the evolutionary stages of its development. Translation studies is a discipline that does not offer, cannot offer immutable explanations, does not identify universally valid theories beyond temporal and/or spatial landmarks, but it offers interpretations, impregnated and influenced by the spatial and temporal context in which they occur. In this volume, we deal with the most important notions and concepts with which translation theorists operate. We define terms such as translation principle, translation method, translation strategy, translation technique, translation procedure, trying to clarify the hierarchical relationship between them. We value and, therefore, present the contributions of leading theorists in translation studies. Equivalence, this cornerstone of any translation approach, is another key point of the volume as we deal with the difficulties of translation: the translation of idioms, humour, and pragmatic aspects. The classification of texts into various types, based on different criteria, is the subject of another chapter. Closely related to the issue of text typology are the types of translations as different types of texts require different types of translation approach as well as the differences between the members of the target audience – specialized or secular – may influence the type of translation. We deal with the typology of realia and culturemes and their translation, but we also approach the translation of the literary text and study, of course, the specialized translation, the specialized language, and the terminological lexicon. We review the main features of literary and specialized translation. Intention, linguistic and extralinguistic context, cultural transfer, equivalence, skills, techniques and methods, and textual typologies are key concepts that appear in the volume entitled Introduction to translation studies or notions and fundamental concepts in the theory and practice of translation. The translational act involves several factors and several actors, which we try to approach and analyse in a synthetic and analytical approach.

Branding in football

Branding în fotbal

Author(s): Vlad I. Rosca / Language(s): Romanian

Keywords: sports marketing; football marketing; branding; football branding; sports branding; Liga1; Romanian football; brand equity; customer relationship management; CRM in sports

“Branding în fotbal” (“Branding in football”, eng.) is a book that discusses how Romanian football clubs can use their brands in order to increase their sympathy with fans. The work highlights that football clubs in Romania do not yet properly use their brands so as to establish relationships with their fans based on trust. Branding theory is analyzed in relationship with customer management principles, highlighting that football brands can be used as levers to create long-lasting relationships between clubs and fans. Brands thus become a driver of fan loyalty. The book links Aaker’s concept of brand equity with seventeen antecedents (classified in three sub-systems: relational, market, internal) that have the potential to increase the equity. The book underlines that these antecedents should be used by football clubs in order to increase their brand value.

Little dictionary of terms used in translation theory, practice and didactics

Mic dicţionar de termeni utilizaţi în teoria, practica şi didactica traducerii

Author(s): Georgiana Lungu-Badea / Language(s): Romanian

Keywords: dictionaries and lexicons; translation studies (TS); translation terminology; translation metalanguage;

Despite the quantitative and qualitative progress registered in translation studies research, the metalanguage of this discipline still lacks proper definition. Given the ambiguous and polysemous nature of the translation studies terminology, the purpose of this dictionary is to offer an easy to use working tool to all those interested in translation and translation criticism. Thus, it comprises around 250 entries, each definition being strengthened by useful explanations and examples. Moreover, the defined terms are accompanied by their equivalents in English, French, German, Spanish, and Russian.

Shadow of History. European Profiles

Schatten der Geschichte. Europäische Profile

Author(s): Valeriu Marcu / Language(s): German

Keywords: Jean-Paul Marat; Antoine de Rivarol; Jack London; David Hume; Charles Baudelaire; Joseph Caillaux; Charles Maurras; Aristide Briand; Grigorij Sinowjew; Christian Rakowski; Charles Rappoport; Karl Radek;

Published in 1929 by Paul List Verlag, Leipzig. // Author’s introduction( written in times when gender-neutral language was still unknown. We trust the reader’s capacity, to read un-neutral wording with, nevertheless, neutral understanding): When a young man looks at the world through the curious eyes of a twenty year old, he falls in love with principles. He believes that he can derive everything from principles, and through them alone he can understand everything. Like a theologian, he wants to capture the content of ideas and states in sentences in order to then polemicize against the “universe”. There is more optimism than arrogance in this rebellion. Soon, however, painful processes begin that have to be endured in order to achieve independence, the autonomy of one's own thinking. “Man - says Hegel - must make himself what he should be; he must first acquire everything himself ... So the spirit is his own result.” That is why I say to myself today, without mourning or rejoicing, that this book only reflects a mood of life that I shared with friends, and which was a drop from the general experience of the first half decade after 1918.

D. Tsepeneag and the regime of words. Writing and translating "outside of oneself"

D. Tsepeneag et le régime des mots. Écrire et traduire en « dehors de soi »

Author(s): Georgiana Lungu-Badea / Language(s): French

Keywords: experimental writing;self-translation;oneiric literature;exile literature;alternative reading;structural oneirism

This work is conceived as a kaleidoscope of various approaches to the bilingual, Romanian and French, creation of Dumitru Tsepeneag. An overview of the Romanian oneirism examined in relation to other European literary movements allows us to deal with Dumitru Tsepeneag's literary positioning, on the Romanian side, as well as on the French side, in between two languages ​​and two literatures. His bilingual work is analyzed from the creative and writing point of view but also from the translation perspective, namely the relationship established between the author and his translator, and last but not least, from the angle of self-translation leading to experimental works.

European Aspirations and Human Development of the Republic of Moldova: National Human Development Report 2012

European Aspirations and Human Development of the Republic of Moldova: National Human Development Report 2012

Author(s): Valeriu Prohniţchi / Language(s): English

The European integration aspirations of the country cannot be seen outside the current development context. The report examines the main obstacles and opportunities, placing them in a wider context of the political, economic and social transformations the country is going through. Like any social process, European integration cannot have a linear trajectory and is not a one-way street. Th e process must be seen as a multidimensional one. It does not bring benefi ts and advantages alone. In addition to the eff orts of politicians or technocrats, it requires eff orts from the entire society - shifts in mindsets and attitudes by every Moldovan, and obviously an unparalleled communication within and cohesion of the society. I believe this should be the recipe for success.

English Literature Advancing Through History 4

English Literature Advancing Through History 4

Author(s): Petru Golban / Language(s): English

Keywords: English literature; 18th century; literary history;

It appears that literary work possesses eternal temporal validity due to its autonomous aesthetic value, whereas criticism provides points of view having temporary and transitory significance. Despite such claims, the vector of methodology in our series of books, dealing with the history of English literature, relies on Viktor Shklovsky, T. S. Eliot, Mikhail Bakhtin, and especially Yuri Tynyanov, whose main reasoning would be that literature is a system of dominant, central and peripheral, marginalized elements – to us, “tradition” (centre) versus “innovation” (margin) engaged in a “battle” for supremacy, demarginalization, and the right to form a new literary system – and the development or historical advancement of literature is the substitution of systems. Roman Jakobson and French structuralism, on the whole, later Linda Hutcheon, with her “system” and “constant”, and Bran Nicol with the “dominant”, to say nothing about Itamar Even-Zohar and his theory of polysystem, to a certain extent Julia Kristeva, and even Homi Bhabha – as well as our humble contribution, we would like to believe – maintain Tynyanov’s line of thinking and concepts alive, which have developed and emerged nowadays more like a kind of “neo-formalism”. Focusing on literary practice, applying critical theory and emerging from within our own teaching experience, the books in the present series are theoretical and surveyistic, like a monograph, whereas their more practical and text-oriented aspect should appeal as a student handbook for didactic purposes, in which certain literary works belonging to various writers of different trends, movements, and periods are analysed and compared with regard to their source, form, thematic arrangements, ideas, motifs, character representation strategies, intertextual perspectives, structural or narrative techniques, and other aspects.
