In this study, the author analyzes the content of two old constitutional reform drafts elaborated in the context of public debates on the topic of elaborating a new Basic Law after the completion of the state unity of the Romanian Kingdom. The first of the drafts was elaborated - as a theoretical work - in 1919 by professor Iuliu Pascu from the University of Cernăuți, and the second, by the politician Constantin Argetoianu. The first draft has remained practically unknown to the constitutional doctrine. The second one was written by its author in the form of a report and presented on 20 December 1922 during the People's Party congress, held in Sibiu between 20-21 December 1922. Subsequently, Constantin Argetoianu published it in a booklet in 1922, practically not included either in the memory of the specialized doctrine. The report presented by Constantin Argetoianu at the congress in Sibiu is, however, included in the memoirs of the venerable politician and can be consulted in his memoir paper published after 1990 in several editions. The two drafts are atypical, in the sense that they were not edited in an ordinary legislative form, but as doctrinal papers, in which the authors presented and supported with arguments their opinions regarding some principles and provisions of constitutional rank, which they considered at that time appropriate legislative solutions for a wide-spread constitutional reform of the Romanian State.

The premise of this paper is that the constitutional values and traditions of a nation constitute the basic vein of its constitutional development. This process is evolutionary and creative by nature, which means that, in addition to the existing value substrate, society receives new elements and values. The combination of tradition and innovation takes place in a sequence of stages, leading to an emerging evolution. Thus, the paper identifies these constitutional values and traditions as those contained in the acts with constitutional value adopted in the period 1858-1938. The interrelationship between these constitutional traditions and innovative ideas from the European constitutional space can be found in the Constitution of 1991, which perfectly illustrates the emerging evolution of Romanian constitutionalism. The Constitution of 1991 organically combines the elements of constitutional tradition that mainly relate to the institutional construction of the state with the innovative ones aimed at a resettlement and adaptation of the axiological content offundamental rights and freedoms, but also the relationship between the national and European legal order. Of course, the valorization of the constitutional tradition cannot be mimetic, but must be appropriate to the new requirements of the science of law. Under these conditions, the valorization, interrelation and recombination of constitutional values over time reflects an emerging evolution, which proves the continuity of the development movement of Romanian law and its permanent connection to European values.

At the level of Romanian legislation, the accountability of deliberative authorities – the Government, local councils, or county councils – is regulated within a complex framework that includes both specific legal provisions and general principles of the rule of law. The observance of these regulations highlights both positive aspects and areas where institutional efficiency often encounters obstacles. This paper aims to analyze, at the level of local public administration, the manner in which the accountability of deliberative authorities is regulated and, more importantly, how the regulation manages to cover difficult situations arising in the functioning of the institution without affecting the basic architecture of the state. The study also presents a specific case where the accountability of a local council intervenes and follows the entire process of applying the regulation with all its consequences. The conclusion, reflected in the title of the paper, states that the institution is not fully protected in extreme situations; moreover, the intervention of a form of accountability–specifically, the dissolution of the local council – results in affecting the constitutional principle of local autonomy, allowing the functioning of an administrative-territorial unit without a deliberative authority for the entire duration of a mandate.

Romanian criticism has tended to use generational framing to delineate the boundaries of local poetic paradigms, which has also been the case for the Generation 2000 and Generation post-2000. If in the 1980’s a discussion about a Romanian postmodernism was put into debate, in 2018 the question regarding the emergence of a Romanian poetry metamodernism arises. In this context, I intend to trace in this paper the nuances of generational debates in order to outline to what extent this methodology succeeds in describing the mutations and the characteristics of recent poetry. With the posthuman turn and the possibilities for the emergence of metamodernism being debated, my paper addresses, on the one hand, the viability of metamodernism in recent poetry, and, on the other, possible points of conjunctions of posthumanism and metamodernism. The posthuman turn encompasses the post-2000 generation, while local discussions have also proposed metamodernism as a label for the post-2000 generation. The question I start from is to what extent, theoretically, is our local poetry metamodernist in its sensibility and specificity, and to what extent does posthumanism fit into a metamodernist heuristic label. Although the debate remains open insofar as the Romanian theoretical field seems rather refractory to transnational theoretical fictions, what I observe in this article is that metamodernism, as theoretically proposed, can be a viable alternative to the crisis of critical discourse.

Starting from Asbjørn Grønstad’s concepts of bio visuality and the responsibility of forms, the paper analyzes the issues that arise when adapting self-fiction into film. It maps out how the concepts can be applied especially well to self-fiction and New Romanian Cinema, then applies them in a comparative analysis of Cezar Paul-Bădescu’s book, Luminița, mon amour, and Călin Peter Netzer’s movie adaptation, Ana, mon amour. The paper argues that whereas the book’s ambiguity succeeds in transmitting its central themes, the movie fails to faithfully adapt the central ideas due to an inadequate choice in form. Finally, the paper argues that the formal issues cause ethical faults which hinder the transnational effort and negatively influence the worlding process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper represents an analysis of the decision made by the Romanian political elites on 27 August 1916, namely to enter in the First World War on the side of the Entente, against the Central Powers, the former allies. The hypothesis that the present paper advances is related to the perceptions of the Romanian political elites at the moment of entering the First World War. Therefore, the Romanian political elites entered the First World War based on an assumed cult of the offensive, as a result of the confidence in the capacity of the Romanian army to inflict a rapid defeat to Austria-Hungary. As a theoretical framework, the research is based on the cult of the offensive theory. The research concluded that the decision taken by the Romanian political elites to enter in the First World War was based on an assumed cult of the offensive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since the outbreak of the Second World War until the early 1950s, Soviet military and special tribunals sentenced over 32,000 foreign military personnel and civilians, including 1350 Romanians, to death or imprisonment (usually for 25, 20, or 15 years of incarceration). The paper recreates the fate of these Romanian detainees, based on the documents from the Soviet/Russian archives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper analyzes voting agreements in Romanian company law, from the perspective of the possible legal qualifications that can be granted to them, as well as from the perspective of the specific limits of company law, which must be taken into account when concluding agreements. Comparative references are made to the doctrine of German law, which deals extensively with the subject of shareholder agreements in general and voting agreements in particular. A legal qualification within the institution of the promise to contract is argued, and a variant known to German law, that of voting consortia - a long-term contract with successive execution, will be presented. From the point of view of the validity of the agreements, the limits set by Romanian law and doctrine are identified and questioned, such as the prohibition of the transfer of the vote, or the principle of respect for the social interest.

The paper analyses aspects of literature works as presented in article published in the periocal "Flacăra" (July - December 1979)1, one of the propagandistic instrument of the Romanian Communist Party. The Flacăra newspaper includes a series of articles that highlight the folding of certain authors and their vision regarding the dogma of the communist regime, the periodical representing a strong factor of influence among the general public.

Through the present study, we tried to treat, non-exhaustively, the issue of proposals addressed to some unspecified persons. The subject is of definite interest, the number of announcements addressed to the public being in a continuous and visible expansion. In order to have an overview of the matter, we have presented a few solutions retained in comparative law, in order to be useful to the Romanian legislator. We considered appropriate to place the exposition of the Romanian civil regulation at the end of the paper, after the presentation of the interpretations offered in the French, German, English law, as well as in relation to the Lando Principles and the Vienna Convention. The results reached by these regulations are not uniform, identifying both differences and similarities, which indicates that the matter analyzed here is not governed by an obvious solution, which derives from the very nature of things.

The present paper aims to examine the particularities of the construction of speeches specific to UN general assemblies. In the analysis of the speeches delivered during the 67th session of the UN General Assembly by the Romanian Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain, the macro and microstructural elements, the ways of building the discursive ethos, of adequacy will be observed of the discourse to the addressee (starting from the pro-addressee, para-addressee and counter-addressee triad), but also the impact of the discursive moment generated by the Syrian crisis on the organization of the texts.

Departing from the Romanian Constitutional regulation of property from 1923 to 1934 controversies on the nature of the property as subjective right and/or social function, the present paper aims to reconstruct an unitary theoretical framework within the legal thought which could explain more widely the Romanian Constitution from 1923 as a solidarist constitution. We shall try to show that Otto von Gierke's doctrines on Genossenschaft and Sozialrecht could aptly fulfill that role although (or rather because) it is not so well known among the Romanian legal scholars. The first part here will deal with the controversy on the nature of property by rising some questions, while the second to follow should offer some answers from Gierke's work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the middle of the 19th century, historical writing became a solid tool in the national struggle waged by the Romanian Pashoptists. From this perspective, it is easy to understand the optics through which the Pashoptist generation wrote the history of the Middle Ages represented by the actions of the Wallachian and Moldavian rulers in counterweight to the Phanariot rulers, viewed through the Pashoptist lens as the dark period in national history. Therefore, this paper aims to highlight the Pashoptist perspective towards the Phanariot regime and outline it through concrete examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to research, based on our own linguistic material, as well as accessible publications, the influence of the Hungarian language on the Transylvanian dialect of Boyash Romanian in Croatia or, more precisely, to identify Hungarianisms that appear in the lexicon. In this regard, it is necessary to distinguish between at least two main categories of Hungarianisms - those that are present also in the Romanian language from Romania and those that are specific only to the Transylvanian dialect of Boyash Romanian spoken in Croatia.

This paper aims to gather and provide information about a less known historical text from the beginning of the 19th century. Alexander I, Keiser von Russland. Ein Regierungs- und Karaktergemälde written by Johann Daniel Friedrich Rumpf is the less known booklet printed in Buda, in 1815. With an anonymous translator, the text represents an important analytical base to understand the cultural, political and social landscape in the Romanian time-frame of Enlightenment. The paper focuses on some important translation issues as: loans or adaptation, in a period of time when the translators had to adapt to a different context in order to use a specialized language for the economic, geographic and legal realities.

Dacia Province in Spanish Historiography. Recent Studies and Research The situation of the Dacia province before and after the roman conquest was over time a freqently debated topic in both romanian and international historiography. In ths paper we tried to highlight the way in which the image of the province of Dacia was mirrored among the recent studies in the spanish scientific circles. Valuable information on political, religious, military issues of the Province of Dacia can be gleaned from the works of spanish historians. The latter mentioned completed a thorough and detailed work, giving them the task of analyzing the studies of romanian archaeologist and researchers, but also those of international circulation. Also, in the present paper, we have tried to compare the opinions of some of the spanish researchers and to highlight the conclusions drawn by them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to attempt to offer a proper re-evaluation of Cella Serghi’s literary debut and overall importance when it comes to Romanian literature. Her debut novel was extremely well-received by the Romanian readership; however, many of the critics dismissed her prose as being a reflection, or at least the result of Camil Petrescu’s guidance and influence. After examining the marginalisation and the unjust simplification that her prose suffered, the paper introduces some considerations on feminism in Romania, for a more accurate depiction of her significance.

The paper represents an analysis of gender studies regarding mass-media, mainly advertising. The study observes issues related to the way in which gender equality was identified in advertising, both in publications with individual authors and in collective specialised works, or in peer-reviewed scientific articles. We have subsequently observed and presented three essential directions in Romanian studies on gender stereotypes / inequality in advertising. Thus, we discussed the linguistic and semantic direction (terms such as stereotype, male-female distinction, patriarchy), then the typological direction (classifications of stereotypes, their characteristic and frequency) and last but not least the direction of consumer perception in advertising. In conclusion, the paper shows the research trends in the field of gender stereotypes regarding advertising, highlighting the opinion of recognized specialists on the influence such representations have on individuals and in society.

The orientation of phraseological nomination towards the human allows the reflection of everyday collective observations, experiences and evaluations of a certain (norm-deviating) behaviour or action. The paper explores the role of the linguistic image in the metaphorisation of the concept ‘Wahnsinn’/‘Verrücktheit’ in German and Romanian, in order to ask about the productive initial domains for the conceptualisation of this term, since conceptual spheres allow conclusions to be drawn about the models of thought and values anchored in the language. The interlingual analysis of this particular excerpt from the German and Romanian lexicon of phrases makes it clear that one cannot speak of serious differences in the phraseological realisation or of differing valuations and that universal and productive metaphorical patterns can be discerned in the conceptualisation of ‘Wahnsinn’/‘Verrücktheit’ in German and in Romanian.

One of the most difficult issues that Jesus' contemporaries had to deal with was the question about his identity. In the context of a fierce monotheism, highlighted by the effects of the Babylonian exile, which definitely eliminated idolatry from Israel, a man's claim to possess divine nature would have been outrageous from the onset. However, one's response to the challenge of recognising Jesus' identity depends on whether he or she belongs to those who accept the Kingdom of Christ or those who reject it. In this paper we propose an analysis of Mark 8.27-30 in order to see just how Mark constructs the debate over Jesus' identity. From a methodological point of view, we will present some general aspects regarding the challenges raised by this text, therefore we will refer to the available Romanian translation, with its rendition of Mark's insights on said identity. The text's exegetical aspects, its key phrases, structural elements and the context of the events, together with the comparison between the affirmation of Jesus' identity in Mark and the other gospels, will underline the process that rounds up the identity debates in Mark's gospel.

2022, among other celebrations, marked 160 years since the birth of the Romanian ethnographer Elena Niculiță-Voronca and a century since the death of Romanian ethnographer Mihai Lupescu. The two researchers' activity is important both for understanding the historical, political and cultural context of the region and for understanding the evolution of Romanian ethnology as a whole. The current survey of the works of Elena Niculiță-Voronca and Mihai Lupescu needs to be transformed, due to the posthumous publication of some of their papers and the changing reception of their writings.

This paper is an attempt to present the main Western theories regarding the novel – the artistic novel to be more precise – that were also translated into Romanian and fecundated the national literary field. We focus on the evolution of the thought about the novel, starting with Georg Lucaks’ seminal work, dedicated to what was the literary species, and up to Franco Moretti’s paradigm of shifting studies. This could prove to be an opportunity to observe the manner in which the genre was conceptualized and why. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines how the party system in post-communist Romania has evolved following the nine rounds of parliamentary elections. Using Blondel’s classic explanatory model and, in addition, the ENP formula, the paper tries to outline a specific model of Romanian partidism. It analyzes every electoral moment and emphasizes that the party system in post-communist Romania falls rather within the multiparty type with a dominant party. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper focuses on the way Hamlet was translated in the nineteenth century and how the versions it was translated from affected the final Romanian versions. Taking into account the influence the French language had on the literature and traslations of the time, we will analyse the linguistic particularities of the text, the new entries and the archaic words, the synonyms, semantic relationships and some lexical aspects. Due to the socialpolitical life of the time, French became the most frequently used language leaving its traits into the Romanian language. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to illustrate a difficult period in the history of the Romanian Church United with Rome, namely: the evolution of the Greek Catholic Diocese of Cluj-Gherla in the first two months after the split of Transylvania, as a result of the Vienna Diktat. The purpose of this article is to highlight the consequences that the entry of NorthWest Transylvania into Hungary had on the Greek Catholic Diocese of ClujGherla; what changes the new administration brings to the United Church. After highlighting the general framework (status, economic situation, the attempt to subordinate the greek-catholic dioceses to the Archdiocese of Esztergom, as well as the pressure on the Greek Catholic believers to change their denomination), the activity of bishop Iuliu Hossu is also presented. Emphasis will be placed on the bishop’s efforts and attempts to stop the abuses of the new authority on the Romanian population, his attempts to mediate conflicts between Romanian and Hungarian leaders, and last but not least the efforts made to manage the administration of the Greek Catholic Diocese in the new political context. The article also presents the situation of educational institutions under the auspices of the United Diocese of Cluj-Gherla, and the difficulties they face as a result of changes in the education system.

The study is based on the paper presented in the frame of "Gheorghe Petrașcu 150" Conference organized by the Arts, Architecture and Audio-Visual branch of the Romanian Academy, in June 2022, occasioned by the celebration of artist's 150 years from birth. We analyse the writings on his work, from the beginnings of his lifetime sustained career, until his death in 1949, with a focus on the distinct reception of the matter's consistency of the paintings seen as a vocation for a tellurian, mineral word, which is the hallmark of his originality. The texts are brought into discussion to reflect the evolution of his painting, of his rising recognition, aesthetical ideas circulating in the epoch, and the development of Romanian art historiography until postwar times.

Representing a cultural and social system, the foods from the Romanian folktales show the dimension of the identity of the traditional world. This paper highlights symbolic aspects and valences of the culinary dimension from fairy tales collected from the Bucovina region by Simion Florea Marian, I. G. Sbiera, Ludwig Adolf Staufe, Petru Rezuş. Sometimes influencing the hero's trajectory, revealing his social status, his character profile or that of adjuvants/opponents and, sometimes, even that of the narrator - "witness" to the eventuality, the dishes/culinary elements become an identity in the narrative discourse landmark, a "vehicle of essential values" (Izard Bonte) of Romanians and/or ethnic communities in Bucovina. Equally important for the valorization of a cultural system is the presentation of the meal at the end of the fairy tale. Its pantagruelic dimension is eloquent in order to know and understand the real and imagined coordinates of the human universe to which the anonymous creator belonged. We consider that the mythical-symbolic and sacramental valences that food has in the sequences/stages of the hero's initiation, in this world and/or in the orther world, also represent a significant aspect. Obtained in a natural or magical way (with the help of magical objects invested with beneficial valence), the dishes in the fairy tales from Bucovina highlight customs and behaviors specific to this mythofolkloric area.

Almost 8 years after 1 February 2014, the day when the current Criminal Code entered into force, it seems to be a useful step to analyze how the principles of Romanian criminal law are reflected in this Code. Following the examination, we will find that some of the principles enjoy express consecration, such as the legality of incrimination or the legality of the criminal law sanctions, and others have different applications in the body of the Criminal Code or are deduced from the economy of the criminal provisions. In the present paper we will review the doctrinal conceptions regarding the principles of the criminal law and the way in which they are reflected in the current Criminal Code.

In this paper we want to make a contrastive presentation, in French and in Romanian, upon the way the unstressed pronominal forms having the function of complement in the Dative are used in proverbs. We also want to emphasize the similarities and the differences between the two languages – when we speak about the morpho-syntactic and the semantic levels. Such differences and similarities occur especially when it comes to the possession relationship. Most part of our study is dedicated to presenting some special values of the unstressed pronominal forms in the possessive Dative – including the variant of the Dative with an attributive function and the ethical Dative. We have done this research in order to establish to what extent the use of such constructions varies. We shall also emphasize the specific constructions in Romanian where the Dative has a neutral value and the analytic Dative is thought as a prepositional group in the colloquial language. In order to illustrate this phenomenon in a better way, we relied our study on a corpus of proverbs and adages which were selected from specialized collections and electronic versions of some dictionairies.

The paper looks at the Romanian relationship between modernism and rural imagination in the Romanian 20th century debates. As in other cases of semi-peripheral or emergent literatures (the general framework builds on contributions from Frederic Jameson, Pascale Casanova and Wai Chee Dimock), the hegemonical pressure of the Eurochronology has put an embargo on rural prose, excluding it from the projects of modernist literature. The study asserts that far from being a collateral symptom of modernity, rural imaginary is essential for understanding its contradictory mechanisms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Literary history is still the most successful strategy of systematizing knowledge in Romanian academe and, although the theoretical revolution that took place in literary studies between 1960-1990 did not leave it unscathed, it remains the methodological anchor of every attempt at trying to make sense of the entirety of a specific culture. In this paper I analyze Mihai Iovănel’s new History of Contemporary Romanian Literature and whether it succeeds in revolutionizing (methodologically or in terms of cultural analysis) an old and robust genre of explanation, in an intellectual culture that is otherwise enamored with dictionaries, encyclopedias and all-encompassing narratives of the past.

The present paper seeks to define the framework for an adequate understanding of Nicolae Iorga's thoughts related to the legal culture conceived as part of the national culture as well as to examinate the possibly foundational role of Iorga for a future Romanian school of "historical law", i. e. for the creative reception and further development of the German Historical School of Law in Romania. Conceived as part of an ideological tradition which includes the Romantic poet, writer and journalist Mihai Eminescu as well as the historian Vasile Pârvan, the ideas of Iorga - his "organic worldview" - are to be distinguished by the "rationalist" views of other Romanian thinker usually associated with Friedrich Carl von Savigny (I) and then connected with Savigny's main lines of legal thought through the political views of the great German historian Leopold von Ranke, who was highly appreciated by both Savigny and Iorga (II). Iorga's work contains also some hints on Savigny, which are also to be examined and shown as deeply unjustified; on the contrary, the really deep similitudes between both thinkers regarding both political visions as well as methodological issues of the legal respectively historical discipline may stimulate the Romanian jurists to renew the Romanian legal science.

A distinguished intellectual of the Romanian interwar elite, Barbu Brezianu (1909-2008) was a judge, poet, novelist, art history researcher and the most aknowledged Romanian scholar of Brancusi's work. He also developed a sustained activity as a translator which was a special quality of his writer's profile. The paper focuses on his main translation endeavour, the Finnish epic Kalevala, from the first idea and edition, in 1938, to the last one, in 1999, sketching some interesting aspects of his personality from the light of time chronicles and archive documents.

The effervescence of the interwar period also contains the sad story of a brilliant young generation, but lost - intellectually - in the destructive passion of politics. Their search for philosophical, spiritual and political renewal inclined them to fascist doctrines, while their concentration on ethnic, nationalist, Romanian Orthodoxy led them to the legionary movement and anti-Semitism. The present paper offers an overview on the delicate issue of anti-Semitism in interwar Romania and exemplifies it with several successful stories of individuals who managed to escape, just in time, the terror of history.

Today's Romanian press is a relatively young press. The appearance and evolution of newspapers / magazines, their specialization, depended on the steadfastness of social life, the wealth of the population and the individual freedoms of the people. These premises were not fulfilled in the nineteenth century, because of which the literary press suffered. This paper presents two prestigious literary magazines from the 19th century, without making a value judgment. There is a description of the contents of the publications, their biographical side, the composition of the collaborators, the influences received and those exercised, the editorial changes.

The present paper proposes a methodological approach of the questionnaires of the Romanian Language Museum, studying the way that the indirect linguistic survey was improved in this framework. The introduction of the popular language into the Dictionary of Romanian Language was an important desideratum expressed by B. P. Hasdeu (1884), who collected data using the indirect linguistic survey method, based on a questionnaire that included 206 questions. In order to enrich the lexicographic material for the elaboration of The Romanian Language Dictionary and to obtain preliminary information for the Romanian Linguistic Atlas, Sextil Pușcariu has also fully assumed the indirect linguistic survey method. As he pointed out, it was necessary to collect the facts of the Romanian language before the progress of a unitary civilization would erase the traces of the region specific language. In this respect, the Romanian Language Museum laid the foundations for a systematic strategy of collecting data from spoken language. Having a good knowledge of the results of the indirect linguistic investigation carried out by B. P. Hasdeu in the Romanian cultural space, and taking into account aspects of the previous investigations carried out in Germany and Switzerland, Sextil Pușcariu improved this research method, in order to limit its disadvantages and to maximize its benefits.
