In today’s context of rapid socio-political changes, with deepening ethnic and religious conflicts on the one hand, and a diminishing feeling of identification with the community on the other, reflection on the idea of “solidarity” is very much necessary. This book provides answers to the following questions: “What is the idea of solidarity today?”; “How can it be defined?”; “How has it evolved over recent decades?”; “How does it manifest itself in social life?”; “How is it reflected in the arts?”; and, above all, “How does it relate to collective memory and identity?” With this outline of topic areas in mind, this volume brings together essays analysing various...

"The science-fiction novel "The Revival" is an explosion of imagination and surprising revolutionary concepts. It encompasses themes lush enough for multiple books, not just one. Author Alain Costea skillfully weaves these themes into the story without disrupting the narrative flow. The adventures and suspenseful moments are further enhanced by the specific techno-philosophical-sociological revelations characteristic of a richly layered hard SF. The remarkable talent of the author in constructing complex worlds and delving into the psychology of numerous characters allows him to create a true science fiction epic akin to the (space) operas of Alastair Reynolds or Peter F. Hamilton." "The cha...
Our monograph is an attempt to connect the study of world and Romanian literature with medicine, completing the research up to now with a new perspective on the way in which the medical studies of the analyzed authors influenced their literary creation. This research brings into discussion important and pressing aspects of medicine and literature and shows how in the modern world the two can intertwine. We set out to analyze the literature produced by professionals of medicine. By way of multidisciplinary approach, the author has analyzed the way the doctors were able to build a system of thought and creation with its own identity in the horizon of literature. Transforming into missionaries of culture and by combining custom and the most recent scientific conquest, doctors best respond to the desire of complete intellectuals. The proposed work is addressed both to professionals in the field of philology and to doctors who want to understand how artistic creativity can change their way of perceiving the human being.
With Forewords by Geoffrey Robertson QC, Doughty Street Chambers, London, UK and Professor Mihail E. Ionescu, Bucharest, Romania Simona Ţuţuianu describes a new model of sovereignty which is fast replacing the traditional Westphalian model embodied in Article 2 of the UN Charter and rigorously followed throughout the Cold War. The scholarly basis for this new model draws upon developments in international criminal law which first emerged from the Nuremberg trials and upon more recent interstate economic cooperation which has turned sovereign independence into interdependence across a range of state functions. Does this mean that traditional Westphalian concepts of sovereignty should be aba...
