MYTH, SYMBOL, AND RITUAL: ELUCIDATORY PATHS TO THE FANTASTIC UNREALITY
The present volume insists on the policies derived from the social ideas generated by myths, the updating of myths as an arsenal of social pedagogy, on the ethnic condition of the relevance of myths, but also on the resumption by mass media of the pejorative sense of the myth. This volume is part of the scientific series “Mythology and Folklore”.
Poezia de la Gândirea
Înainte de orice altceva, Poezia de la Gândirea este o carte despre slăbiciunea conceptelor. Ce mai definesc azi cuvinte precum tradiționalism sau modernism? Între războaie, termenii au polarizat probabil toate disputele, nelăsând în stare de neutralitate aproape nimic. Nu-i vorba, nu ideologiile fac literatura. Iar când este vorba despre poezie, lucrurile sunt cu atât mai complicate. Or, privind înapoi cu suspiciune, Mircea A. Diaconu realizează nu doar o descriere comparativă a principalelor constante ale poeziei de la Gândirea, ci și o anatomie – sceptică măcar – a conceptelor în disputa lor cu realitatea de fapt. Criticii conceptelor – dublate de o încercare de refundamentare a lor – îi răspunde o analiză minuțioasă, fără parti-pris-uri, a realității de fapt. În distanța aceasta, dintre concept și realitate, pătrunde ochiul deopotrivă al istoricului și al criticului literar. Iar ceea ce rezultă nu mai este o sumă de adevăruri apodictice, ci o proiecție hermeneutică fundamentată interogativ.
A Journey through Knowledge
A Journey through Knowledge: Festschrift in Honour of Hortensia Pârlog is a collection of articles dedicated to one of the best known Romanian university teachers and linguists, both in her home country and well beyond its borders. The heterogenous material (both in terms of the range of issues tackled and in terms of the approaches adopted by the authors) in the three sections of the volume finds itself a common denominator in the idea of “traveling” and “journey”, around which they are organized. In the first section, Traveling across Identities and Emotions, Pia Brînzeu touches upon some identity issues, in dealing with a form of subversion in Coz Shakespeare, by Marin Sorescu; ...

Autobiography, Volume 2
"Here finally are Eliade's memoirs of the first thirty years of his life in Mac Linscott Rickett's crisp and lucid English translation. They present a fascinating account of the early development of a Renaissance talent, expressed in everything from daily and periodical journalism, realistic and fantastic fiction, and general nonfiction works to distinguished contributions to the history of religions. Autobiography follows an apparently amazingly candid report of this remarkable man's progression from a mischievous street urchin and literary prodigy, through his various love affairs, a decisive and traumatic Indian sojourn, and active, brilliant participation in pre-World War II Romanian cultural life."—Seymour Cain, Religious Studies Review
