Violeta Decheva, professor in Theater Studies, offers a passionate meditation on the meaning of university education in arts today. Exactly through teaching arts NBU has chosen the best possible way to develop in the students, and hence in the society, an ability to assert one’s own personality while respecting the other and otherness. This is much more than learning the rules of making theater or cinema. The arts are capable of presenting us and the world in the less expected way working both with the memory and the imagination – from Shakespeare’s Hamlet to Christo’s Mastaba.

The review comments and analyses main topics, ideas and theses emphasized in Nonka Bogomilova’s new books: “The Religion Today: Between Theos and Anthropos” and “(Non)Humane: Literature Philosophical Projections”. The review draws conclusions that both books analyze the same philosophical-anthropological problems from the point of view of philosophy, and of literature: reason and religion; the challenges of the contemporary philosophical and sociological knowledge of religion; the Cognitive science of religion; the opposition between reason and illusions, dreams, passions – in knowledge production, in love, in ideological indoctrination.

This article is an attempt to shortly trace the course of the days in Cluj devoted to Maupassant’s actuality in the 21st century: all the communications approached the main aspects of this writer’s work either by punctiliously deepening certain short stories (« Une partie de campagne », « La Maison Tellier ») and, of course, some questions concerning ethos, enunciation, ellipses or characters’ typology; or discussing some themes as travels, children, illegitimate paternity, animals, music, sport; or even trying to identify some issues, i.e. fantastic, fetishism, report to money, contacts with impressionism; and finally presenting the implications supposed by some of the film adaptations of the Maupassant’s text (Bel-Ami).

In June 2013, Babeş-Bolyai University from Cluj-Napoca, Romania, organized the international colloquium Maupassant 2013, meant to celebrate the 120 years passed since Maupassant’s death, within an essay to have a whole Romanian Year dedicated to him; lack of funds reduced it to some parts of the country, especially Transylvania. This article presents what was done in this respect, the most important result being a collection of varied essays belonging to different authors – the great majority working in important European universities – who wrote them on the basis of the topics suggested in the call for papers: the biography, between truth and legend; the short stories, between humour and fantastic; the creator of images: illustrations and movie adaptations; the translation of the work. Such a diversity of topics allowed a wide range of approaches which resulted in extremely interesting contributions, demonstrating Maupassant’s actuality even in the second decade of the 21st century.
