The Future of Knowledge
This book contains scientific papers in arts and sciences presented at the first edition of ?Harvard Square Symposium;? a symposium organized by the Scientific Press together with the Institute for Peace Studies in Eastern Christianity on April 29?30, 2016, in Cambridge Massachusetts. The theme, ?the Future of Knowledge,? was suggestively chosen to highlight the mission of our symposia; that of making a valuable contribution to a future of humanity full of hope and trust, keeping in mind that the common responsibilities toward the future generations (which we share across nations, cultures, and beliefs), ought to be symbiotic with our professional ideals, in providing good stewardship.

The Spectacle of the Body in Late Medieval England
The volume The Spectacle of the Body in Late Medieval England represents a study on the human body representation in medieval England by approaching the concept of the spectacle as a space of manifestation. The author clarifies the ways of understanding the body as a physical and metaphorical reality, but also the medieval conceptualization of violence. On top of that, the author is making an investigation on the violent character of spectacles' representation in pursuit of picturing this subject more clearly and more relevant. The approach of the volume is dominantly Christian reviewing the representations of the body through outstanding figures of Christianity (crucifixion of Jesus Christ, body of Virgin Mary).

Magie și vrăjitorie în cultura română: Istorie, literatură, mentalități
Dincolo de descrierea și analizarea, pe baza unui bogat material documentar, a fenomenelor magiei și vrăjitoriei în context românesc, volumul își propune să decripteze modalitățile în care cultura română – deosebindu-se astfel de cele cu care se învecinează sau se înrudește – gestionează accesul la supranatural, felul cum gândește și descrie supranaturalul, cum îl reprezintă în diferite credințe religioase, mituri, eresuri, legende, forme artistice. Perspectiva, extrem de amplă, cuprinde, alături de cultura populară, și producțiile literare și artistice culte românești.
Listening to the Languages of the People
This tale of great achievements and great disappointments offers a fresh perspective on the interplay between scholarship and political sentiment in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Lazăr Șăineanu (1859-1934), linguist and folklorist, was a pioneer in his native Romania, seeking out the popular elements in culture along with high literary ones. He was the first to publish a study of Yiddish as a genuine language, and he uncovered Turkish features in Romanian language and customs. He also made an index of hundreds of Romanian folktales. Yet when he sought Romanian citizenship and a professorship, he was blocked by powerful figures who thought Jews could not be Romanians a...
