The Biography of "the Idea of Literature"
The "idea of literature" is the very kernel of every literary study; however, this is the first survey of the historical development of this idea. Its purpose is to refute the belief, particularly prevalent in French criticism, that the "idea of literature" only appeared in the eighteenth century, and that it was perceived strictly as an art.

Redemption Kills
Dane Larusio is a wealthy, well-respected businessman in his thirties whos hiding a terrible secret. When he was young, growing up in Genova, Italy, Dane acted as a delivery boy for an odious mob boss. He made good money. What eighteen-year-old could turn down good money? But then, because of Danes actions, his father ended up badly injured, and his uncle ended up dead. A scared kid, Dane did what he had to do: he ran. He never looked back, but he knew something changed in him that day. No longer was he an innocent young man. The older Dane got, the less he fearedand the less he careduntil something finally snapped in him. Danes guilt turned into anger, and his anger became a need for bloody vengeance at any cost. Obsessed with the idea of revenge, Dane plots to assassinate the Kingpins of the now global crime syndicate that corrupted his youth. His main target is a mysterious syndicate overlord known as Krait. Dane suspects Krait might see him coming, but no matter what, Dane is determined to get the job done. How could he guess that the mafia has ties to the Larusio family and that Danes own secret isnt the worst in Genova?
Remembering Communism
Remembering Communism examines the formation and transformation of the memory of communism in the post-communist period. The majority of the articles focus on memory practices in the post-Stalinist era in Bulgaria and Romania, with occasional references to the cases of Poland and the GDR. Based on an interdisciplinary approach, including history, anthropology, cultural studies and sociology, the volume examines the mechanisms and processes that influence, determine and mint the private and public memory of communism in the post-1989 era. The common denominator to all essays is the emphasis on the process of remembering in the present, and the modalities by means of which the present perspective shapes processes of remembering, including practices of commemoration and representation of the past. The volume deals with eight major thematic blocks revisiting specific practices in communism such as popular culture and everyday life, childhood, labor, the secret police, and the perception of “the system”.
Corridors of Mirrors
This contribution to imagology, the science which deals with images and stereotypes that people have of a nation, examines the complicated game of mirroring that both the British and the Romanians play when trying to define themselves and others, drawing on national images as reflected in fiction.

CENZURA PRESEI CULTURALE IEȘENE ÎN PERIOADA COMUNISTĂ
Lucrarea nu e numai o istorie a cenzurii presei culturale ieșene, ci și o istorie detaliată a publicațiilor literare ieșene. (Eugen Negrici) Bună cunoscătoare a conceptelor și a strategiilor propagandei comuniste, ca și a statutului, rolului și evoluției cenzurii din aceeași epocă, Monica Mărgărint aplică acest aparat teoretic pe un material excavat din surse primare (în speță, presa literară ieșeană postbelică). (Nicolae Mecu) Meritele lucrării sunt legate, în primul rând, de admirabila cercetare documentară: autoarea se oprește asupra publicațiilor vremii, dar și asupra paginilor mai greu accesibile – arhivele instituțiilor de partid din țară, dar, în primul rând – așa cum arată proiectul de lucru –, de la Iași. (Cornel Ungureanu)
