The author of the paper intends to capture an episode in the history of the Romanian P.E.N. Club, from the first years of its existence. The paper features the correpondence between its founder, Marcu Beza, the Romanian diplomat from the capital of Great Britain, and George Bernard Shaw. The issue of translating and producing some of Shaw's plays in Romania is highlighted in the context of the history of P.E.N. International. The organization's position with regard to an author's rights, and to promoting authors of reference among its members, is also analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is dedicated to the relationship between economy and the state in the postmodern world. The general idea of this article is that economy has lost its guiding role it was assigned at the beginning of the modern era. Whether it is the guiding function of money or the teaching role of production and the market alike, the economy – we are told by the great theoreticians and scholars of the modern age – plays a determining role in society's development. The economics approach to what we call substructal destruction makes us sensitive to those processes in the economy which, instead of leading mankind towards prosperity, bring ruinous destruction, i.e. damage the foundations of the world and therefore its order. Substructal destructions are those types of destructive processes that contribute to the fundamental ruin of a system (even of society with its established order). The currency is often lying, the market is downright sick, the flows are shaken by turbulence attested by uncontrollable volatility, the banks are breathing heavily, suffering from a kind of financial-banking asthma, the stock exchanges are hit by uncontrollable turbulence, by storms that herald crash after crash, the debt spiral is dizzying etc. All this describes the economic landscape of an alarming substructal destruction, and the present paper is dedicated to a focused analysis on how the substructal crises penetrate the society and heralds the end of what we may call a „historical world”.

Tradition-brands are cultural constructs launched in Romania around the year 2000, which bring into play a repertoire of conventions and “myths” shared nationwide and proposed to the market, increasingly and more intensely in the late years, by large-scale industrial operators, who in this manner simulate and menace small-scale producers (those actually in the right to claim this tradition as their own). Previous work in the anthropology of consumption has theorized that commercial communication associated with tradition-brands represents a space of negotiation between the Big Industry and traditionalist consumers. The present paper resumes, after more than a decade, the previous thesis, with Mark Fisher's conflict theory tools. In this perspective, traditional brands are forms of Big Industry colonization and naturalization of artisan culture. The case analysis of the Matache Măcelaruʼ charcuterie brand reveals multiple levels of realist-capitalist processing of the commercial message. The key understanding of Fisher's theory of consumerism as a sensitive interface between the capitalist system and the public leads to sharp conclusions about the alienation and disintegration of social actors (consumers, small artisans and merchants) and about the removal of small businesses from the current economic landscape. The possibility of a breach in capitalist totalitarianism lies, hypothetically, in the Romanian public's inertia towards globalization. A conscious reaction is also needed, which arises from civic initiatives regarding the realization of a short producer-consumer chain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The entire educational process to which the future student adheres involves, among other things, the acquisition by him of academic honesty, the essential value lacking which education and research would not be possible. Academic honesty, as a value resulting from the multitude of legal and infralegal provisions, refers to the compliance with the condition that the paper must be the result of the research of the one who presents it to the academic environment, as author. Excluding some exceptions, the student who is in the beginning years of the bachelor's degree, master's degree or doctorate cannot be said to be carrying out a genuine research activity, but he is educated in matters of research, acquiring the methods of carrying out this noble occupation. And, at the same time with this formative process, the student acquires academic honesty with the help of university-level teachers and of the legal norms which are applicable to him. A brief distinction must be made here, in the sense that, if the legal norm is qualified by the doctrine as impersonal1, „lacking feeling", what the university teaching staff conveys to the students, through his acts or deeds, in the context of the process of acquiring the mentioned value, will be the subject of a personal analysis of the student, in relation to the ethics and integrity of the one appointed to shape the destinies of those at the beginning of their journey. The premise of my modest approach is the experience of an event that reflects the aforementioned title, a fact for which I will analyze in the following, in a proper manner and with relevance for those who carry on their activity in the field of ethics and academic integrity, the deed of the university teaching staff to assume, unjustly and as author, the creation of the student and its possible consequence in the sphere of criminal law.

This paper does not propose an exhaustive analysis of the applicable legal regulation in the field of civil capacity, and in particular of the concrete capacity of the natural person, but only emphasizes some significant aspects, in the context of the entry into force of Law No 140/2022 regarding some protection measures for individuals with intellectual and psychosocial disabilities and the modification and completion of some normative acts and therefore of the establishment of new protection measures for these persons. This normative act has introduced a reform of the protection measures for individuals suffering from a deterioration of the mental faculties, in accordance with the decisions of the Constitutional Court, with multiple implications in various matters of material law, as well as procedural law.

In the context of the National Military Museum's centenary celebration, institution that was founded on the 18th December 1923 by King Ferdinand I, this paper presents some thoughts about the evolution of this museum, one of the oldest from our country. With a special patrimony and collections that include unique pieces in Europe or worldwide, with branches in major cities of the country, this institution benefited over time from the support of important personalities in terms of growing its heritage, such as: King Ferdinand I, Queen Marie, Prime Minister Ion. I. C. Brătianu, General Radu R. Rosetti (member of Romanian Academy, one of the most important military historians of the interwar period and chairman of the board of directors of the museum between 1924-1930), the great historian Nicolae Iorga (honorary president of the board of directors of the museum after 1930), etc. [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]

Especially after the fall of communism in Romania, Romanian theatre artists were referring nostalgicallyvindictively to what they considered to be a recognition of the importance of their own activity: the inclusion of actors/performers in the categories of hard or harmful labor, just like miners, in the 1950s and generally before 1977. The legend of the similitude between actors and miners is, in fact, part of the symbolic competition with the industrial working class, in which intellectuals felt engaged especially in the 1980s and which played an important role then and in the following decade (a subject which I elaborate in a larger research). This paper investigates the factual basis of this narrative of State legitimation of cultural labor, starting from the legal codification of the miners' central position in the ideology and public discourse of the communist regime and exploring the wage and retirement conditions of (theatre) actors from 1948 until 1989, including through the lenses of their non-public positions, as reflected in the archives of the secret police. Part of a larger framework of the intelligentsia’s antagonism and lack of solidarity with the working class, which has been analyzed at length in post-communism but which tends to not include the specifics of the performing arts in the general cultural framework, it examines the foundations of the persistent discourse placing theatre artists (alongside writers, filmmakers, etc.) as the righteous beneficiaries of the post-1989 transition, aiming to replace miners at the center of the new, capitalist society.

The study proposes an analysis of the lawful juridical fact of the undue payment circumscribed to the sphere of lawful juridical facts, source of the legal civil obligation of restitution, consisting in making a payment, voluntarily, but undue, by mistake. In the introductory part of the paper, we presented the definition of undue payment and the provisions of the Civil Code regarding the lawful juridical fact of undue payment, but also those provisions to which they refer, generally applicable to a "payment". In the second part we analysed the Conditions of undue payment, which must be met cumulatively: a payment must be made, which is not due, in the absence of a debt, by mistake. We pointed out that although the current regulation did not expressly mention the condition that the payment was made in error, in order to be able to justify the action in repetition for the benefit of solvens, the payment must have been made by error. Thus, it is important the so-called „volitional component" with reference to the intention of the solvens to extinguish an existing debt to the accipiens, having the firm conviction that this obligation exists and that the one who receives the payment would really be his creditor. In the hypothesis in which the solvens pays disinterestedly, without pursuing the payment of a debt, his gesture could be interpreted as a liberality, with all the consequences arising from this qualification, including the impossibility of restitution due to the irrevocable nature of the legal operation. The third part of the study was devoted to the Effects of the undue payment, distinct between solvens and accipiens, respectively those towards third parties, occasion to present various hypotheses with the indication of some jurisprudential solutions pronounced in this matter. In the final part, we presented the particularities of the action for restitution with the indication of the owner of the action, the plaintiff solvens against the defendant accipiens, specifying the legal nature and the object of this action, the rules regarding the prescription, cases of inadmissibility and the possible legal solutions, depending on the good or bad faith of accipiens. As a study method, we sought to combine the theoretical analysis with the position of the jurisprudence in this field, considering that this approach is edifying in presenting the specific features of the undue payment, in particular, in comparison with the other lawful juridical facts as sources of obligations, fraudulent management and enrichment without a just cause. Thus, we went through valuable works from our classical doctrine, but also from the contemporary one, in the comments of the texts of the current Civil Code, identifying the published and commented jurisprudential solutions.

The strategic scientific management of cultural and research institution is put under scrutiny in the paper The strategic management of scientific research [Managementul cercetării științifice] by the author Meda Gâlea. To better improve the strategic scientific management, the author dives into the history of an important Romanian research institute, the Romanian Academy, and into its management style in relation to the research developed. To substantiate the results, and to support the development of the formula that underpins the decision-making process in the management of a scientific institution, the author uses actual scientific literature, corelated with the research carried out among the research and technical staff of the Romanian Academy in Iași. The most important takeaway of this scientific paper is the PRA-nX formula used to facilitate decision making in terms of economic management for better scientific performance.

Understanding the ever-evolving nature of the industry, society in general, and financial and economic realities in particular, as well as the importance of keeping up with the latest trends and technological developments (and not only) is a must for legal professionals. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the legal sector is growing exponentially and is revolutionizing the way legal services are delivered. In this paper we aim to discuss the impact of AI on the future of the legal field, exploring the challenges and opportunities it presents and we will provide information on the current state of new technologies, the impact they have on law and the resolution of possible disputes that will arise from the use of these technologies. It is indisputable that new approaches and technologies have been developed in the field of justice, and also in arbitration, to meet the demands of end users who are looking for increasingly efficient and cost-effective dispute resolution processes adapted to the law of new technologies, to the disputes they are about, have as their object and use the new technologies. In order to be able to respond to these requests, lawyers, arbitrators and in general all practitioners and specialists in the field must be informed and up to date with the trends and how to use these working tools, which increasingly based on modern technology that uses AI. Therefore, through this approach we aim, above all, to draw attention to the imperative need to be permanently interested in how to stay informed and up to date with all this progress, to be in step with the evolution, to identify the current state of knowledge in the modern technologies and its practical application in everyday life and in the profession, as well as to benefit from the advantages these innovative tools can offer.

One of the primary concepts of forest management is to ensure the long-term management of forest fund. Foresters are challenged to respond to emerging societal expectations in an ever-changing society. As a result, the skills provided by forestry higher education must be constantly adapted to keep up with the societal progress. The aim of this paper is to identify and analyze the perceptions about Romanian forests and their management from the perspective of the students enrolled in their first year at the Forestry Faculty in Suceava. The survey method with a questionnaire was used to conduct this investigation. The questionnaire was created online, and tailored to the Romanian forest management, in a broader sense. The survey population consisted of 252 first-grade students from different periods (2015- 2020) with 197 male and 55 females. 75% of the respondents consider that Romania's forests are not properly managed, that these forests are cut abusively and illegally (84%), and much more than in other European countries (75%). In terms of forest cuttings during the next 10 years, 56% consider they should be completely stopped, while 23% believe that it would rather not. The perceptions of first-grade students regarding the image of private forest management are equally divided. Thus, 34% believe the image has deteriorated, 33% believe that the image has improved and 33% that it has remained the same. In the case of public forests management, the percentage of those who believe the situation has deteriorated is similar of those who believe the situation has remained the same (38%). Only 24% consider that the situation has improved. The study provides essential information both for communication with the general public and for improving forestry education at the pre-academic level in order to demystify some topics perceived as distorted to the realities of existing statistical data.

Xylosandrus germanus (Blandford, 1894) is a potential pest for forestry, fruit growing, and viticulture in Romania. As a result, it is necessary to identify technical solutions to avoid possible attacks. The objective of the research presented in the paper was to test under field conditions the effectiveness of two insecticides which in the laboratory gave promising results in preventing the attack. The two insecticides were Mospilan 20 SG (20% acetamiprid) and Laser 240 SC (240 g/l spinosad). In an experiment organized in a completely randomized design with five variants and 24 replicates, the mentioned insecticides were tested at a concentration of 1% with and without the addition of adjuvant (Silwet Top, concentration 0.3%). The emulsions prepared with the phytosanitary products were applied to the surface of thin segments of sessile oak stems (ST) by immersing them in the emulsions for two minutes. Prior to insecticide treatment, STs had been kept for 24 h in an aqueous solution of 48% ethanol. The experiment took place between 31 May and 24 August 2022, during which time the STs were periodically checked for marking and recording insect entries. At the end of the period, the STs were transferred to the laboratory, where they were stored in a freezer until their detailed analysis by sectioning and splitting to observe the condition of the galleries and the insects therein. To evaluate the effectiveness of the treatments, the following were considered: the number of X. germanus galleries per segment (GST), the number of females with offspring per segment (FDST), and the number of offspring per segment (DST). To see if the treatments had possible sublethal effects, the number of offspring per female and the impact of the treatments on the development of insects in the ST were also analyzed. Attack intensity increased over the duration of the experiment, more rapidly in the first 16 days and then more slowly, finally reaching 58.0 galleries/ST (median) in control ST and 32.0 and 48.5 galleries/ST in ST treated only with acetamiprid and with spinosad, respectively. Treatments that were made with a mixture of insecticide and adjuvant performed worse. As a result, the effectiveness of the treatments was between 50.7% (acetamiprid) and 9.3% (spinosad + adjuvant) after the first 16 days, and between 41.5% and -9.4% for the same two variants at the end of the experiment. Regarding FDST, the median values ranged between 8.0 (control) and 3.0 (acetamiprid and acetamiprid + adjuvant), but the differences between the variants were not statistically significant. However, the lowest value (50.7%) of the proportion of females with offspring from the total number of females found in the galleries at the end of the experiment was in the treatment with acetamiprid + adjuvant and that value was statistically different from those in the other variants. The median values of DST were between 23.0 (control) and 9.0 (acetamiprid + adjuvant), suggesting a consistent reduction caused by the treatments, but differences between the variants were not statistically significant due to the very high variability of the values. In the case of the number of offspring per female, the median had the same value (3.0) in all variants, although the distributions were different in shape. Insect development appears to have been inhibited by the substances with which the females came into contact, but it is difficult to say how much is due to delayed colonization of the ST by females and how much is due to other effects, such as inhibition of embryonic and larval development itself. Under field conditions, acetamiprid was only slightly less effective than under laboratory conditions, but spinosad was much less effective, even after only the first 16 days. The Silwet Top adjuvant did not have the intended effect, but rather the opposite, of diminishing the effectiveness of the treatments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pedunculate (Quercus robur L., 1753) and sessile (Q. petraea (Matt) Liebl., 1784) oak are long living trees, of great ecological and economic importance, consisting in significant components of the hardwood forests in Romanian lowlands and hilly regions. Even oak forests are resilient, over the last decades they have been affected several times by episodes of decline, followed by significant levels of mortality. These episodes are more frequent lately and have very rich facets. The important role of Agrilus spp. in the decline phenomenon is due to the participation in the final phase of the causative chain that leads to the mortality of oaks. Since, there is a lack of data on Agrilus oak infestation in Romania. The paper aims to review the information on the characteristics of the oak Agrilus spp. and the symptoms exhibited by the decline affected oak trees infested with Agrilus spp., to better understand the relationship between these species and oak decline and to facilitate the identification of the Agrilus infestations.

This paper is based on one of Paul Evdokimov's seminal works: The Art of the Icon: A Theology of Beauty. If secular art tries to capture and go beyond the human by reaching for the idea of the transcendent which it projects into the abstract, the art of the icon renders the spiritual, the spiritual world, the world that penetrates the immanent without denying it, even using its means to translate us into the light of the eighth day. Using limited means to render the Unbounded is indeed an art. The author shows us that not every religious artistic achievement can be called an icon in the true sense of the word, not even what we find in churches exposed for worship and bearing the title "icon" are icons. The present work is intended as a solution and as a criterion that can be used to distinguish between a canonical and a non-canonical icon from both a theological and an artistic point of view.

This paper explores the use of Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) data to estimate tree dendrometric characteristics, namely diameter at breast height (DBH), height and total volume in a monitoring network for spruce. The study area is located in Romania, in the western part of the Southern Carpathians, in the Țarcu Mountains. Reference data (tree positions, DBH, heights) were taken with high precision by field measurements. Tree segmentation from TLS data acquired in survey areas with a large number of trees and the presence of shrubs brings modeling problems, resulting a low estimation accuracy, therefore Hough transform was applied in DBH estimation to fit circles to existing cross sections. Thus, even when only a fragment of the trunk is available, DBH can be estimated from the curvature of the section. The processing and analysis of the TLS data sets obtained through field inventories and those based on TLS data was carried out using the FORTLS, lidR, rTLS, TreeLS, packages of the R software. Parameters used in the segmentation algorithm set the condition that in a radius of 40 cm around the identified trunk does not exist another segmented trunk. The results obtained show that there is a strong significant correlation (r= 0.988**) between the plot average of DBH values measured in the field and the plot average of the estimated ones, with a root mean square error (RMSE) value of 1.52 cm, for the same trees, based on point clouds. Moreover, between the plot average of tree heights measured in the field and the plot average of the heights estimated for the same trees there was obtained a strong significant correlation (r=0.901**) and an RMSE value of 1.42 m. The results of this study indicate that using this methodology it was possible to estimate 92.3% of the total volume measured in the field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Following the general problematics of reformulating the concepts of “discourse” and “narrative” and treating cinematic products as textual objects, with incursions into the 21st century cinema as a realist-expositional medium of the social problems of the Other, the present paper aims, by contextualizing the film Aferim! (2015) by Radu Jude, to analyze the relationship between language, language and race, racialization, and representation. In short, it aims to analyze the position of linguistic racism in the admitted “realistic” and artistic presentation of the process of marginalization. Such academic analyses have become present internationally, especially with the development of the linguistic dimension of postcolonial studies and the emergence and expansion of the concept of political correctness and/or cultural sensitivity in the contemporary socio-cultural discourse, especially in direct relation to language, language, and visual media of artistic transposition. We must be remembered, however, that Roma people occupy a marginal place even in postcolonial analysis of otherness. In the Romanian space, with a strong intertextual character, Aferim! occupies a privileged place precisely because of the primacy given to the theme: the Roma slavery in the 19th century Wallachia, during the year 1853, which is a key-year, considering that the formal abolition of slavery took place only three years later, in 1856, in Wallachia. Intentionally subversive, Jude takes the historical form of the popular films from the communist period and turns it against itself, while also adding the American-inspired aesthetic of Westerns. The multiplicity of perspectives is present, but the „intimacy” belongs to the white, oppressive characters, putting the viewer in an uncomfortable position that belongs to them historically. Following the results of the quantitative study of the present work, where the most often used word is „cocoane” [lord] in all its declined versions, Aferim! is thus a film about power dynamics, a dynamic in which the Roma are the Other.

My paper aims to discuss the configuration of the queer-feminist phenomenon, with its derivatives in intersectionalism, ecofeminism and posthumanism in postmillennial Romanian poetry. The premises of this approach are, on the one hand, the left-wing ideological radicalization of the poetic discourse, and, on the other hand, the shaping of a distinguishing ethos, through which the postmillennial poets create a self-legitimizing international network comprising feminist and/or queer writers and theorists like Donna Haraway, Rosi Braidotti, Virginia Woolf, Ocean Vuong, Natalia Ginzburg, Maryse Condé, Bruno Latour, etc. Therefore, the article focuses on theoretical import through poetic creation, since, less common in Romanian literary filed, it claims the urgency for theoretical and ethical debates on militant cultural currents and directions against patriarchy, exploitation of nature and animals by humans, and against the classical centre-periphery dichotomy.

This paper examines the Pietist revivalist networks and their efforts to do mission work among the Jews in the course of the 19th century in the geographical boundaries of present- day Austria. In the course of the revivalist movements of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the concern for missionary work among Jews increasingly became the focus of awakened evangelical circles, with impulses emanating primarily from the Anglo-Saxon countries. These groups subsequently also became involved in Austria. The article not only presents these efforts for the first time in a comprehensive overview, but also presents previously unknown sources.

The paper proposes throughly grounded answers to some of the most difficult questions raised in practice by the 128 article requiment. Starting from what the right to vote constitutes and how it is transpoted in practice, we will analyze the controversial problem of the general meetings, implicitly article 128 from the Law of companies 31/1990, that is, that the right to vote cannot be ceded at the same time, the situation and more complicated, if the shareholder is in a conflict of interest situation.

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 International Criminal Court announced on 17 March 2023 that it issued arrest warrants for President Putin and one of the officials of the Russian state, Mrs. Lvova-Belova. This was an expected and unprecedented moment, given the quality of a president in office of Mr. Putin. The fact that the Russian Federation is not a party to the Rome Statute of 1998 and the specific mechanism of the arrest warrant are aspects that have determined numerous scholarly debates regarding the effectiveness of the warrants thus issued. In this context, the aim of this paper is to clarify a number of issues such as the rules applicable in the case of the arrest warrant, its consequences for states and for the person concerned, the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court and the inapplicability of the customary rule of immunity of heads of state.

Decorative elements and accessories of clothing -- a set of symbols brought into individualized harmony and possessing a power of expressiveness many times greater than even linguistic ones -- are some social emblems that make it possible to reconstruct history at different stages of its development. Multilateral analysis of these products can provide important information about the socio-economic and cultural level reached by a particular community. In addition to the aesthetic function, clothing decorations carry the meaning of a complex communication system, reporting that its owner belongs to a certain ethnic group, social or age category; they manifest ideas of splendor, elegance, and refinement that existed in the environment where they were created. The National Museum of History of Moldova possesses a rich collection of ornaments and jewelry. It includes both adornments for body (rings, bracelets, earrings, pendants, beads, necklaces, hairpins, etc.) and for clothes (fibulae, sewn-on plaques, buttons, buckles, etc.). The subject of this article is the pafta buckles, which are of interest not only from an artistic point of view, but also due to their apotropaic significance. The diversity of the collection, as well as the degree of study of this category of objects, allowed us to consider in this paper only those pafta buckles, the shape and ornamentation of which testify to the Balkan and Oriental influence. The study highlights the functional and decorative significance of these buckles, touches upon aspects related to the technique and craftsmanship of their manufacture, analyzes the diversity and symbolism of ornamental motifs.

In the 17th century, numerous wars were fought on the territory of Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania. Some were wars against foreign attacks; others were civil wars between different pretenders to the throne. Some conflicts were short-lived, while others dragged on for several years. This study presents the life of women during military confrontations. Women's destinies are traced at different stages of wars, from the beginning of hostilities to the establishment of peace. Representatives of different social categories mentioned in historical sources, without exception, came into the field of attention: from ruling strata ladies to commoners, from respectable wives, daughters and widows to women of easy virtue. The documents show that women and children who did not participate in hostilities were just as vulnerable as the men who fought. Women were abused, captured or killed by foreign soldiers. In internecine wars, the wives of opponents, being captured, became victims of revenge on their husbands or were used to blackmail them. Therefore, in the conditions of the outbreak of war, the first concern of men was to protect their families. The study shows that most of the women who left their towns to move to safe places belonged to the nobility. Common women mostly stayed at home and took care of their household. There were cases when the authorities forbade women to leave the besieged towns, as, for example, in Cluj in 1611 and 1704. Women had to be involved in the defense, and violation of the orders of the authorities was severely punished. Restoring peace brought other hardships for women. Many tried to free themselves from slavery. Others had to raise money to ransom captive husbands or sons. Many women became widows, forced to provide for their lives and the lives of their children, pay off debts left by their husbands, and fight for their rights, which were often vio- lated by family and society. Chronicles show that wars could not interfere with the normal course of life of civilians. Despite the need and un- certainty, people married and baptized children. Wars have brought much suffering to women from all walks of life. Although it was rooted in the mentality of the time that abuses against women were punished by the God, this did not stop many men from taking advantage of their vulnerability, especially in wartime. Women fell into slavery, died either by the sword, or from famine and disease that accompanied wars. Countless women in the 17th century became widows and had to fight for their own survival and the survival of their children in a hostile world torn apart by economic crises. The paper also examines the attitude of men of the 17th century towards the actions of women during military conflicts. Numerous documents and testaments reflect both negative opinions and manifestations of respect and gratitude of men in families and society to women for the trials they have endured.

The present paper follows the analysis of the contemporary short stories included in the volume Mandarinawritten by Răzvan Petrescu. For our analysis, we will consider the theories of Paul Valéry, Marcel Proust, Roland Barthes and Sidmung Freud regiarding the author's status, as they are identified by Eugen Simion. We will take into consideration the relationship between the author, narrator and character and the way in which these entities are present in the text in order to gain a better understanding of the short stories written by Răzvan Petrescu. Using predominantly the first person narration, we will see the way in which the narrator and character overlap and how this technique affects the lecture of the short stories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
