Secrets, Lies, and Consequences
The tale of a legendary scholar, an unsolved murder, and the mysterious documents that may connect them In early 1991, Ioan Culianu was on the precipice of a brilliant academic career. Culianu had fled his native Romania and established himself as a widely admired scholar at just forty-one years of age. He was teaching at the University of Chicago Divinity School where he was seen as the heir apparent to his mentor, Mircea Eliade, a fellow Romanian expatriate and the founding father of the field of religious studies, who had died a few years earlier. But then Culianu began to receive threatening messages. As his fears grew, he asked a colleague to hold onto some papers for safekeeping. A wee...
Aesthetics and Ideology in Contemporary Literature and Drama
The conviction that the development and promotion of the arts, humanities and culture through the study of literature and the aesthetic are the fundamental constituents of any progress in society is at the heart of this volume. The essays gathered here explore the role of the imagination and aesthetic awareness in an age when the corporatization of knowledge is in the process of transforming literary studies, and political commitment is in danger of disappearing behind a supposedly post-ideological late-capitalist consensus. The main focus of the volume is the mutual implication of aesthetics and ideology and the status and value of different types of art within the political arena. Challeng...
The Impact of the Digital Consumer's Emotional Intelligence in Relation to the Moral Values Promoted in E-Business
The study on the impact of the digital consumer's emotional intelligence based on the moral values promoted in e-business presents an actual interdisciplinary topic in the context of the digital age. The research proposes an original approach to e-business and digital consumer in terms of moral values and emotional intelligence. The Internet has positive effects on consumers and organizations when it is used properly to improve the quality of life. New consumers are more selective, receptive and interested in new technologies. Digital consumers have the opportunity to get informed quickly about products/services offers and e-business provides a simplified acquisition process through diversity and accessibility.
Listening to children in vulnerable situations
This dissertation’s purpose is to concretise pedagogical concepts that help us think about the voices and positions of children in vulnerable situations in contemporary contexts of educating and researching. What matters when thinking about children’s voices, roles and positions in pedagogical and research spaces entangled with our own roles, positions and ethics? This doctoral study is built around four intra-active encounters within pedagogical spaces in Flanders where we bring in a posthuman reconceptualisation of voice to understand and value the entangled, collective and supported ways in which children become present in research. Each intra-active encounter sheds light on methodolo...
Hellenic Statecraft and the Geopolitics of Difference
This book explores competing definitions of Hellenism in the making of the Greek state by drawing on critical historical and geopolitical perspectives and their intersection with difference and exclusion. It examines Greece’s central role in shaping the state system, regional security, and nationalisms of the Balkans, the Black Sea, and the Eastern Mediterranean regions. Understanding the Greek State's social constitution helps learn about the past and present intentions and strategies as well as local, national, and European notions of security and identity. The book looks at the relation of subaltern communities to state power and the state’s ability and willingness to negotiate differ...
Language, Power and Intercultural Communication
This book mainly addresses academics and students specialising in translation studies, as well as practitioners in the field, including translators, interpreters and subtitlers. It examines the mechanisms and components which make intercultural communication work, as well as the forces and actors which hinder it. The book’s translation/translator-oriented investigation of how power leaves imprints on the language(s) employed in communicating interculturally goes beyond the descriptive research method, embarking upon an analytical one instead. The case studies include Romanian political speech and filmic discourse with a political substratum, provided with annotations of their associated translations into English. In essence, the volume considers (multimodal) translation as discourse and practice, in close connection with the politics and policies governing them, and under the dominance of the various contemporary media. It thus broadens the scope of translation studies, traditionally a linguistics-oriented field, adding reading grids advanced by cultural studies and critical discourse analysis.
Reading for the Planet
A critical methodology for dealing with planetarism's aesthetic and philosophical projections
Indexicality
The book offers the first full-scale focused treatment of linguistic indexicality as a tool for analysis and explanation of the organization of linguistic structures. The book demonstrates the application of the concept of indexicality in the description of a broad range of linguistic phenomena, from the internal workings of morphology via relations within syntactic constructions to lexical and grammatical elements designed to hook on to features outside the clause in the interactional context. The book presents studies of the role of indexicality in synchrony and diachrony with descriptive cases from a number of languages from diverse language families. Part I focuses on the general nature ...
Challenging Change
This book, Challenging Change: Literary and Linguistic Responses, is a collection of twenty-three articles which examine change – understood in the broadest sense – as the need of the modern man to redefine, revise, deconstruct and reconstruct previous theories, histories, moralities, social relationships, forms of language and language use. In these times of great change, when the only constant seems to be change itself, the authors of these essays respond to the challenge and approach the notion of change from the perspectives of literary studies and linguistics. The book opens with an introductory overview, followed by twenty-three articles divided into two sections. The authors of the articles come from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, the United States, Canada, Japan, and Norway.
Uncertainty Communication Solution in Neutrosophic Key
This book is a collection of six papers on Communication interpreted in a neutrosophic key, written by the editors (Florentin Smarandache, Bianca Teodorescu and Mirela Teodorescu) and other academics (Daniela Gîfu, Alice Ionescu, Simina Badea, Mădălina Strechie, and Mihaela-Gabriela Păun), discussing about scientific uncertainty and argumentative employment of paradox, examining the neutrosophic role of the translator and the neutrality in legal translation, investigating some mentalities and communication strategies in ancient civilizations, scrutinizing the metamorphosis of feelings into between-reality-conscience and neutro-reality in Camil Petrescu’s novels, or surveying the implications of Neutrosophy in Aesthetics, Arts, or Hermeneutics.
