Identity and Intercultural Communication
The search for identity is a continuous challenge in the global world: from personal identity to social, national, European or professional identities, each person experiences nowadays a multi-dimensional self-representation. Placing the topic against an intercultural background, with a focus on communication, this book addresses the complicated relationship between self, identity, and society, from an academic perspective. The authors of the chapters in this book offer a complex landscape of professional and scholar approaches and research, in various parts of the world, including Canada, China, Estonia, France, Greece, Israel, Romania, and the United States of America.
Cold War Europe
The Cold War is often stereotypically depicted as a period of complete separation between Eastern and Western Europe, a time of little communication and exchange between what is often called the "Eastern bloc" and the capitalist West . European integration, it is thought, was a Western project based on exclusively Western ideas. This edited volume aims to debunk this stereotype. It provides evidence for the numerous media and individuals that contributed to the circulation and exchange of ideas across the ideological divide of the Iron Curtain. The essays in this volume discuss the official and unofficial channels of communication between the Eastern bloc and the West as well as the complex ...
The Media, European Integration and the Rise of Euro-journalism, 1950s–1970s
This book explains how the media helped to invent the European Union as the supranational polity that we know today. Against normative EU scholarship, it tells the story of the rise of the Euro-journalists – pro-European advocacy journalists – within the post-war Western European media. The Euro-journalists pioneered a journalism which symbolically magnified the technocratic European Community as the embodiment of Europe. Normative research on the media and European integration has focused on how the media might help to construct a democratic and legitimate European Union. In contrast, this book aims to deconstruct how journalists – as part of Western European elites – played a key role in elite European identity building campaigns.
Public Opinion towards the EU
This volume investigates the public opinion of the EU in the context of the present economic crisis and other significant challenges currently faced by the Union, the latest being the refugee crisis. Scholarly knowledge in the field of EU attitudes in general and Euroscepticism in particular is thoroughly documented here, and is followed by an analysis of public perceptions of the EU’s crisis management capabilities, proving that the EU’s legitimacy and effectiveness are currently being challenged to the highest degree. The research-based contribution of this book is two-fold, focusing on EU attitudes at a macro-level on one hand, and the opinions of Romanian experts on the other. It pro...

Liberalismul: pro şi contra. O idee ce refuză să moară, deși nu știe ce o ține în viață
Lumea modernă este construită pe fundația libertății. Libertatea este înscrisă în constituțiile și practicile sociopolitice ale majorității țărilor civilizate și oferă cetățenilor acestora un spațiu decent de alegere, de autocunoaștere și autoexprimare. Liberalismul poate oferi mult mai mult decât un alibi pentru politici de austeritate economică. Liberalismul trebuie să fie un set de valori centrate pe libertate, înțeleasă atât ca autonomie personală, cât și ca motivație de a te dedica unei comunități de idealuri, inclusiv cel al cultivării potențialului fiecăruia. Mai este liberalismul o idee actuală? Trăim, poate, într-o lume post-liberală? Ce pune...
Voyages réels, voyages imaginaires : perspectives interdisciplinaires
La thématique du voyage parcourt les sciences humaines et sociales, les lettres et les langues depuis très longtemps. Il est intéressant néanmoins de constater que les approches peuvent parfois se révéler complémentaires et/ou contradictoires en fonction des angles privilégiés par les chercheurs. De sorte que cette thématique fondamentalement interdisciplinaire et internationale a favorisé ici des analyses et réflexions d’ordre épistémologique, conceptuel et thématique à partir d’un fonds conceptuel commun aux différentes disciplines des sciences sociales et humaines en dialogue. Le présent volume en porte la marque à travers l’exploration de plusieurs thèmes et ...
