REZUMATEABSTRACTS

The Romanian Literature after 1990. Conceptual and Programmatic Changes of the Critical Discourse

Ioana NICOLAE – Prof.dr., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

Within the Romanian space, the major political changes taken place after 22nd

of December 1989 have determined important shifts of focus in literature regarding the thematic adjustment to the newly occurred reality as well as the quest for new artistic forms. The most relevant and quick changes experienced belong to the literary critique domain which, due to the radically different context (as far as the political, economic, informational and existential content is concerned), is forced to re-evaluate its own strategies and ideologies, to re-read the pre-December literature, to find and validate concepts adequate to the ongoing phenomena, to re-define the status, the axiological profile of literature within the new cultural and political frame. Actually, there are two major critical directions in the period: a radical one, claiming the moral and political revise of literature and a more temperate one voicing the aesthetic supremacy of all type of critical approach.Keywords: political change, critical discourse, moral and political revision, aesthetic criterion

High-School Curriculum Changes in Approaching Literature. A Critical Perspective

Ioana NICOLAE – Prof.dr., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

Within the general globalisation context as well as within the particular one defined by the integration of Romanian educational system in the European structures and normative frames, the Romanian literature status - viewed as object of study in high-school teaching system - has undergone major changes. Some of them are positive, as in the case of relaxing the didactic methods and the ever-increased interest shown by the pupils in studying literature. On the other hand, these changes paradoxically made literature to brake away with its natural functions and, implicitly, to non-specifically (de)form the young generation. Almost exclusively subjected to the communicative-functional model, the literature curriculum programmatically gives up its aesthetic criterion and dramatically diminishes the role played by the aesthetic during the pupil’s education.

Keywords: European integration, Romanian literature, curriculum changes, aesthetic function, aesthetic education

Adrian Marino -Viata unui om singur / The Life of a Lonely Man. About Intellectuals, Politics and Culture in the Romanian Totalitarian and Post-

totalitarian Cultural SpaceDoiniţa MILEA – Prof.dr., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

Focused on as a testamentary autobiography, Adrian Marino’s memoir book, Viata unui om singur / The Life of a Lonely Man – published in 2010, five years after the author’s death, mirrors the different facets of the Romanian intellectual experiencing both the totalitarian and post-totalitarian age, equally having to cope with the Romanian society and culture dilemmas. The book perspective on the pre-December social, political and cultural life is overtly related to the ideas dynamics subjected to the oppressive ideological mechanism forcing the intellectual to accept mystification and to obey the cultural and political icons of the period.Keywords: the intellectual’s status, pre / post-totalitarian age, egofiction, autobiography, cultural and political icons

Cultura, ideologie si politica in Romania/ The Third Discourse. Culture, Ideology and Politics in Romania

Simona ANTOFI – Prof.dr., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

The Romanian socio-cultural space of the XIXth century witnessed the political influence of the revolutionary French Romanticism, echoing the ideal of national unity and state independence, which gained artistic expression due to the coexistence of the Enlightenment ideology, the Western Romantic patterns as well as the Realism nuclei meant to mediate the literary and cultural ideas movement between the West and the European South-East. Focused today as a valid synchronizing formula re-shaping the cultural politics, the ideology of the “the Forty-Eighters” is favourably re-read by Adrian Marino in his work, Al treilea discurs. Cultura, ideologie si politica in Romania/ The Third Discourse. Culture, Ideology and Politics in Romania, the main point of interest of the present paper.Keywords: political ideology, cultural politics, synchronization, literature

Victor Hugo and Humanist Ideology: The Case of Notre-Dame de Paris Mirela DRĂGOI – Lect. dr., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

Victor Hugo’s Notre-Dame de Paris (1831) lays much emphasis on the ideological foundations of the French Renaissance. An analysis of those parts of the novel that allude to religious beliefs, art and literary text production in the sixteenth century may reveal the connections that the nineteenth-century French writer establishes between the past – the Renaissance – and his own age. Hugo’s historical novel makes direct reference to Gothic art, Jean Calvin’s doctrine of predestination, and traces even further back in time the theme of immutable fate wonderfully developed in the medieval legend of Tristan and Isolde. Thus, it may be used to successfully explore French history and artistic imagination as well as their evolution about the end of the medieval period and in the early days of the Renaissance.Keywords: Victor Hugo, French Renaissance, humanist ideology, Gothic art, doctrine of predestination

Kazuo Ishiguro’s Nocturnes of these daysRuxanda BONTILĂ – PhD Associate Professor, "Dunărea de Jos" University

of Galaţi

Some musicologists consider that the notion of narrative brought into interpretative relationship with instrumental music is ‘neither heroic nor scandalously naïve’ on the grounds that it invites an experimental exploratory approach to the performances of music-critical thought. In my essay on Kazuo Ishiguro’s Nocturnes (2009), I shall reverse the paradigm music and the narrative effect and construct an argument meant to prove that the effect of musicality in the five narratives by Ishiguro is due to how the writer manages, through a subtle concatenation of character, slant, and discourse, to instantiate a multi-movement “plot archetype” similar to that in a nocturne. The under-current movement in Ishiguro’s Nocturnes eludes resolution and definitive thought just as musical nocturnes’ tranquility evokes a range of lyrical expressions depending on both the performance/performer and the listener. Such movement then allows into being the frisson of modern civilization and its avatars, of ideological crisscrossing, which may undercut the brightest of intention.Keywords: music; effect of narrative; narrative; effect of musicality; narration; deixis and textual policies

Theoretical Aspects of Identity Discourse in Post-totalitarian CulturesNicoleta IFRIM – Lect. dr., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

The issue of cultural identity and its forms of representation mirroring the relation between a specific national space and its essential cultural patterns should be placed in the contemporary multicultural dynamics, which has stirred different debates on coping with the identity through culture phenomenon. Under the sign of post(post) modernism and post-colonial experiences, Europe has witnessed the cultural revival of Otherness due to the national ‘voices’ which have begun to claim their right to cultural difference as landmark freed from the marginal / peripheral stigmata. It is the case of the Southeastern cultures which have undergone a major re-recognition process of re-validating their national values after the fall of the dominating totalitarian regimes which exerted both socio-political and cultural repression by means of over-ruling Marxist-Leninist paradigm.Keywords: identity discourse, post-totalitarian cultures, revival of Otherness, re-recognition process

Constructing and De-constructing Cultural Identity in the Contemporary European Paradigm – The Romanian Example and its Eurocentric

DilemmasNicoleta IFRIM – Lect. dr., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

The active participation of ex-communist literatures and their pro-European pact implies, within this differentiating cultural practice, the conscious acceptance of the communist ideological delay, but also its overcoming by the retrieval of the previous pro-European attitudes, together with the contemporary ones. The tendency towards more fluid geo-spatial frontiers by starting a trans-national dialogue, as well as the cultural diachronic structure specific to each Southeastern collective is what maintains, by accepting the difference, an identity which is constantly dynamic and inter-reflexive and which constantly reinvents itself within the European paradigm. The break with the communist dystopia gives legitimacy, within Eastern European communities, to a tendency towards synchronicity with the European cultural model, while the latter itself is supported by a mixture of differentiating practices, by the blend of identity features in a Europe that promotes not cultural uniformization, but the explosive diagonal inter-relatedness based on supra-ethnic criteria.Keywords: de-constructing cultural identity, European paradigm, Eurocentric dilemmas, Romanian culture

“Aberrant decoding” and its linguistic expression (an attempt to recover the original concept)

Cristinel MUNTEANU – Lect. dr., „Constantin Brâncoveanu” University of Piteşti

The terminological phrase aberrant decoding and the related concept were launched by Umberto Eco in a study on semiotics regarding television. Originally published in Italian in 1965, the study was subsequently translated and published in English in 1972. Since then, the term aberrant decoding (in ital.: decodifica aberrante) began to circulate, taken over especially by communication sciences. One of those who have greatly contributed to the spread of the term / concept in question was John Fiske, a prominent Anglo-Saxon specialist in communication and an important promoter of “Communication and Cultural Studies”. Undoubtedly, the concept of «aberrant decoding» has proven itself useful in intercultural communication, a discipline on the rise today. However, we found that (due to John Fiske, mainly) the concept in question is applied in a reductionist manner, the linguistic / verbal component being neglected (or even ignored) in this case. Nevertheless, as we shall see, this was not the intention of Umberto Eco. In this study, we aim at re-evaluating the concept «aberrant decoding» behind the term aberrant decoding, trying to restore its original meaning and define it more precisely.Keywords: aberrant decoding, semiotics, linguistics, communication sciences, intercultural communication

The Terminology of the Common Speaker from the Research Methodology Point of View

Cristinel MUNTEANU – Lect. dr., „Constantin Brâncoveanu” University of Piteşti

Most often, in the researches regarding terminology, the specialist in a particular field (who rigorously uses the scientific terms according to the objective classifications of the disciplines concerned) was taken as a reference point. Unfortunately, the perspective of the common speaker was neglected. What does the common speaker do with a term he takes over from the specialized language? How does he adjust it, how does he change its meaning or adapt it to his idiomatic context? The recent studies of socioterminology are normative rather than descriptive. They make recommendations, concerned with how common speakers should use correctly and appropriately technical and scientific terms, and they are less interested in the process by which these speakers assimilate and use effectively, in everyday speech, these terms. For this reason, our work aims to establish a set of methodological principles for investigating the terminology of the common speaker.

Linguistic and Cultural Issues in Translating Negation in Literary Texts:A Case Study, Mourning Becomes Electra, by Eugene O'Neill

Rodica APOSTOLATU – Assistant, Drd., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

Translating literature is problematic simply because it involves translating the metaphorical or figurative meanings of texts. There is always a context in which the translation occurs, always a history behind a text and into which a text is transported, always an individual (the translator) belonging to a particular culture and a social background and always a readership whom the translator has in mind. Our present paper aims at analyzing the techniques employed by Petru Comărnescu and Margareta Sterian in their Romanian translation of «Mourning Becomes Electra», by Eugene O'Neill. The analysis clearly portrays the pitfalls of translation and emphasizes the importance of cultural awareness when attempting to communicate.Keywords: metaphorical meaning, negation, translation technique, negative marker, cultural equivalence

Nazism in Recent Alternative HistoriesPetru IAMANDI – PhD Associate Professor, "Dunărea de Jos" University of

Galaţi

Recent alternate histories of Nazism reveal a tendency to universalize the significance of the Third Reich in order to comment on contemporary events. This agenda is subtle in some works and more explicit in others, but it is never far from the surface. Given that all works of alternate history reflect the circumstances in which they are written - with writers’ views of the present influencing whether they envision the alternate past as better or worse than the real past - it is no surprise that the works of the last decade reflect the complex realities of the post-9/11 world. The rise of Al Qaeda, the United States invasion of Iraq, the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the threat of a nuclear Iran have directly influenced the portrayal of the Nazi past in alternate history.

Cosmic Christianity to Mircea Eliade Hermeneutics on Mioriţa: A Cognitive Perspective on „Sacred” In Traditional Romanian Culture

Ion CORDONEANU – Lect. dr., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

The phrase ”cosmic Christianity” refers, according to Mircea Eliade, to a new religious development, which characterises the South-Eastern Europe, where the Christological mystery is projected over the entire nature, with emphasis on the liturgical dimension of human existence in the world.In this paper I will demonstrate that Eliade’s analyses of the ballad can be exploited from a cognitive approach also, in an attempt to emphasise the fact that transfiguring death into an event of cosmic proportions and structure, as well as the mystic sympathy between man and nature, highlighted in the Mioriţa ballad, reveal new significances of the “the sacred”.The manner in which Eliade exploits the text of the ballad from the viewpoint of the ethno-psychology and sociology research developed before him can be integrated into a cognitive perspective, according to which, ethnic, psychological and mental mechanisms largely determine religious beliefs and practices specific to a geographic area such as south-eastern Europe. Besides the researches of H. H. Stahl, Constantin Brăiloiu, Liviu Rusu or Adrian Fochi and others, I consider that importance should be given to the study developed by Dumitru Drăghicescu (From the psychology of the Romanian people) on Romanian religion and mentality who published in the early twentieth century a monograph much too little used in the Romanian research that followed.The cognitive approach projected on the text of balad Mioriţa can be considered a type of critical discourse about one of the founding myths that who set a cultural and spiritual model in Romanian space and history.Keywords: Cosmic Christianity, sacred, death – cosmic wedding, man-nature relationship, cognitive perspective, critical discourse, Romanian cultural and spiritual model.

Mass-Media Readiness to Biasing Gendered Narratives about CriminalsCristina VÂLCEA – Assistant, Drd., „Transilvania” University of Braşov

This research aims to gloss the modalities by which mass-media instantiates discriminatory attitudes towards male and female criminals. Grounded in gender studies which, though varied, have still come to the conclusion that maleness is generally favored, the research contrastively analyzes the media exposure of a male and a female criminal, both involved in a highly meditated case of murder, with a focus on the linguistic means (vocabulary, morphology, syntax, semantics) which emphasize the downgrading treatment that the female criminal is given, though she is equally guilty as the man is. This is a clear case

of a gender bias when mass-media strengthens the generally-held ideas that women carry more social blame than men do.Keywords: mass-media, criminals, discrimination

The Alibi in The Universe of Flaubertian DedublationPaula ARMĂSAR – Lect. dr., „Transilvania” University of Braşov

The unity of Gustave Flaubert’s work resides in the consciousness unravelled by equally strong contrary tendencies. Flaubert’s dedublation can be encountered both in the puzzling form of the discrepancy between the characters’ psychological significance and the psychological meaning of the literary comment typical to Flaubert. When writing his correspondence, he is situated between the angle drawn by his real self and what he consciously lets his friends perceive, just like in the ancient Greek mask theatre. Furthermore, he swings between the temptation to emphasize his propensity towards the idea of implacable determinism and the resilience by means of the impersonality illusion. Facing numerous controversies which he himself has generated, the author rejects any “guilt”, considering that the guarantee of objectiveness lies in the fact that literature is kept within the limits of a case; but it is the very choice of the “slice of life” which uncovers the writer’s orientation. Imagining a case that proves nothing, Flaubert directly and indirectly reveals his own pessimistic view on reality. The writer wholeheartedly wishes to believe in the existence of a world dominated by love and morality, but his book, Madame Bovary, proves the very contrary. Drawing on the psychic mechanism of the alibi, as a complex and refined cultural constant, the paper looks into Flaubert’s dedublation universe, presenting this psychic phenomenon as a strategy to listen to one’s own ego. As he refuses both reality and dream, Flaubert defies reality from the point of view of the dream, and mocks at the dream from the point of view of the reality. Using a total contradiction and turning impartiality into an alibi, Flaubert succeeds in changing emptiness into plenitude in a remarkably unique manner.Keywords: construction of the self, alibi, controversy, contradiction, deculpabilization, discrepancy, dissimulation

Recycling - a Contemporary Identity of the PastAnca MARIN MANEA – Drd., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

When postmodernism decreed that art has lost originality and can only be repetitious as well as that it should change perspective from the external reality to the text, writers began focusing on previously written texts as the core subject matter of their work. From this point of view, focus is placed on recycling, seen as a postmodern technique used to construct a new identity for the past under its different forms - as history, as writers and as text(s). Thus,

28

the past is integrated into contemporaneity while constantly being reshaped by the many contemporary novels that look back on writers,novels and literary movements belonging to the past. Moreover, this dynamic and multifaceted dialogue between contemporary novels and past ones is also considered a means of providing the latter with historical continuity (by bringing them into the attention of contemporaneity) and the former with perspectives of canonical inclusion.Keywords: canon, history, writer, text

Positive Politeness and Negative Politeness in Didactic Communication – Landmarks in Teaching Methodology

Angelica HOBJILĂ – Lect. dr., „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iaşi

An efficient communication is conditioned by a series of factors among which the usage of specific discursive strategies, in general, and of specific strategies of politeness, especially. Didactic communication – subsume teaching methodology under it – illustrates par excellence the concept of interaction and also the necessity of “cultivating” the responsibility in the relation speaker – interlocutor and the permanent adaptation to the specificity of the communicative act and to the features of every person involved in it.Formulae such as “We listen quietly, then…” or “Andrew, stop talking!”; “I know that it is not very pleasant, but…” or “You ought to…”; “Come here!” or “Please, come here, I want to show you…”? etc. Apparently, in teaching methodology, one might say that: didactic communication = positive politeness; the communicative reality proves not the contrary, but the complementary, for the choice of the most efficient choice of reply is mandatory reported to the variables of the communication situation.From the point of view of “politeness”, didactic communication involves the usage of positive politeness and negative politeness at all levels (verbal, nonverbal and paraverbal) concerning the interaction teacher – student. Even this reality is reflected in the present paper by the answers provided by a group of teachers and students from the specialization “The Pedagogy pf Pre-school and Primary School Education” inside “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iaşi, Romania, at an interview focused on the topic of communication with pre-school/primary school students. Therefore, I propose the analysis of the main forms of manifesting positive and negative politeness in this particular framework of didactic communication (as part of teaching methodology) – at a pre-school and primary school level.Keywords: teaching methodology, didactic communication, interaction, positive politeness, negative politeness

Ideological Influnce on Educational CommunicationViorica – Torii CACIUC – Assistant, Drd.,

"Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

The pedagogical language plays a special role in the training of future teachers. Its formative value is given both by its socio-cultural values and its pragmatic ones. Besides all these, there are also the ideological values that reflect the political conception which, at a given moment, dominated the society’s educational policy which was applied at the level of schools. Even though the effects of the curricular reform were felt at the level of the pedagogical discourse, there are still some reminders of the “wooden language” of the communist political discourse. All of these make the true educational message hard to be perceived by the future professors, and many times it seems to be inadequate for the nowadays school system and thus it looks hard to be put into educational practice. Educational communication is to be reinvigorated by making philosophical and pedagogical conceptions centred on authentic values and removing the ideological meanings on the basic concepts of pedagogy has acquired during the communist period, in order to improve the training process of the young generation.Keywords: educational communication, ideological values, pedagogical discourse

Matei Vişniec – The Construction of a Literary IdentityCătălina Diana POPA – Drd., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

Matei Vişniec is considered one of the great contemporary absurdist playwrights, but the construction of his artistic identity should be analyzed in connection with his literary debut as a poet. He wrote poetry since his adolescent years until the first half of the 80’s, when theatre became his main interest. Nevertheless, the change was not a radical one in content but rather in what concerns forms, because his poetry already had a dramatic nucleus and every poetic text represented a small parable, a tension between two or more characters. The three volumes of poetry published in Romania – It Will Snow Tonight (1980), The Town with a Single Inhabitant (1982), The Wise Man at Tea Time (1984) – were written at the same time as his first plays and have visible absurdist marks, because at that moment the writer was still an adept of the Absurd.If by “the Absurd” we understand an entity that cannot be reduced to rational explaining, a flaw in text’s inner logic, if we sense it as a strain in the process of interpretation, then we can certainly find it in Matei Vişniec’s poems, where the word materializes and resides in a world of immaterial objects and discorporate beings.

(De)Constructing Heart of Darkness and its Cinematic AdaptationsMonica EFTIMIE – Drd., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

Many voices claim that, with the emergence of the cinema, the time when readers had the power to interpret the narration on their own, creating in their minds a world in consonance with their thoughts and beliefs, has passed and that a new type of ‘reading’ has emerged, one that leaves no room for imagination, since image works against free interaction with the text. The chief ambition of this paper was to prove that such perspectives are misshaped, that a middle ground may be achieved, that both novel and film may be valued for their multiplicity.Although two different grids for analysis were applied in this study, on the one hand looking into the narrative pattern of the novel, and on the other, understanding how the camera may replace the writer’s pen when (re)creating, the whole demarche was dedicated to a comparative and contrastive ‘reading’ of the mutations that become visible the moment the linguistic medium is replaced by the visual. Thus, the present paper intends to study the architecture of both narrative and cinematic texts, deconstructing the basic elements that stand at their core.Keywords: narrative text, image, cinematic devices, deconstructing architecture

The Cultural Model of British Theatre. The Influence of the In-Yer-Face Theatre Paradigm

Florin TOMA – Drd., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

Even though Romanian culture people have been restrained by the communist ideology, they have always tried to somehow connect themselves to Occidental ideals. This natural impulse to adopt European cultural values started to become more intense once the isolation imposed by the Iron Curtain has disappeared. Following such political constraints, the young Romanian playwrights turned their face to the West, being able to access dramatic writing workshops under the Royal Court Theatre or Royal National Theatre, thus gaining the ability to adapt their literary speech to the new social realities. The theme of this paper focuses on the influence of the British theatre model regarding new developments in Romanian modern theatre, which occurred after the revolution of 1989. My interests in this analysis are related to the influence of Royal Court dramatic playwriting workshops on the evolution of theatrical thinking of the new 2000 generation and focus on the new paradigm that emerged at the crossroads between the British model and its rendition in Romanian theatre. The study aims to discover whether the working relation between the playwrights and the theatrical enterprise has gained dynamism

31

following the contact with the Royal Court philosophy, thus emphasizing the cultural interferences between the two paradigms. Referring to the British influences on Romanian dramaturgy, I am interested in discovering whether the relation is mimetic or inspirational. This study presents a short history of the in-yer-face theatre so as to obtain a better understanding on the similarities and differences between the two theatre paradigms: the Romanian one and the British one. Furthermore, I shall focus on the use of direct and violent language, which is typical of this generation, and we shall attempt to discover the mechanism of this language, by also determining whether it constitutes a novelty in the development of the Romanian contemporary theatre model or it is just fashion.Keywords: communist ideology, in-yer-face theatre paradigm, Romanian dramaturgy, British model

Socialist Ideology in The Context of Literary Reception in DDR and FRGOana Andreea GORBĂNESCU – Drd., „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iaşi

After the Second World War, Germany was divided into two occupation zones, each marked by different political, social and cultural influences. Imposed socialist ideology in the GDR has an overwhelming effect on the mentality of the East Germans, leading to the transposing of the political border in culture, especially in the literature.Initially, writers struggled to keep the spirit of German culture alive through numerous conferences and proclamations. However, their efforts could not overcome the barriers imposed by the antagonism of the two ideologies, the Eastern real socialism and the Western liberalism. Since 1964 they speak openly about the existence of "two independent and different literatures" whose cleavage was determined by "political and social censorship" (Zwei deutsche Literaturen? Zu G. Grass, U. Johnson, H. Kant, U . Plenzdorf Ch und Wolf, Eberhard Mannack, Athenäum Verlag, 1977, S. 1).Keywords: socialist ideology, Eastern real socialism vs Western liberalism, political and social censorship

The Ideological Dimension of Didactic Knowledge And Constructivist Model

Mariana MOMANU – PhD Associate Professor, ”Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iaşi

This study proposes a critical analysis of the ideology’s role in the knowledge creation and transfer in the educational field. After a brief historical approach to the semantic evolution of ideology, we aim to the operationalization of this term starting from Paul Ricoeur’s concept. We further analyze the changes that occur throughout the scientific knowledge teaching process and the role of ideology in the creation and transfer of teaching knowledge. As the ideology is always present in the knowledge and educational field, this study attempts to analyze the normal status quo and pathological aspects of this issue. The ideology is inseparable from the educational process; the contents used are the result of both the authors’ ideological options and those who selected them; the selection method applied is also influenced by the value hierarchies and interpretations of the involved persons, i.e. authors of curricula and manuals or teachers. The teacher’s option for a knowledge model or paradigm influences the student’s mentality and attitude towards learning and reality. From this point of view, we consider that the constructivist model improves the critical spirit and reduces the negative impact of the ideology’s interference in the field of teaching knowledge.Keywords: ideology, didactic knowledge, didactic transposition, constructivism

A Re(Modeled) Pragmatic-Functional Pattern of Analysis for the Study of Discourse Markers in Conversation: Discursive Roles and Functions of

Discourse Marking „deci” and „şi”Mădălina MATEI – Assistant, Drd., „Transilvania” University of Braşov

The permanent changes in the dynamics of discourse marker use in conversation triggers the necessity of re(modeling) the already existing patterns of analysis in such a way as to adapt them to the new discursive realities and practices. The best analysis of discourse marking functions and discursive roles can be done in real instances of conversation. Therefore, the corpus on which the analysis is performed is composed of conversations in Romanian, our own samples of recorded conversation between Romanian speakers. The analysis of discourse markers in conversation requires a

33

pragmatic-functional perspective. Hence, we suggest a different classification of the discursive attributions that discourse markers have in conversation by advocating for the pragmatic-functional categories of discursive roles and discursive functions. These two categories, in which the various discursive attributions of markers were placed, represent the framework for the analysis of the discourse markers “deci” and “şi” which we conduct in this paper. Furthermore, we make a presentation of the discursive functions and roles of two of the most frequently used Romanian discourse markers: “deci” and “şi”. We support the functions and roles of these markers with relevant illustrative examples which demonstrate the importance of the conversational context in establishing the pragmatic role that markers could have in casual and formal conversations.Keywords: discourse markers, conversation, discursive roles, discursive functions, pragmatic roles

From the Print Media to the Online Media: Impediments and Liberties of the Journalistic Discourse

Delia GAVRILIU MĂRGĂRIT – Drd., „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iaşi

It is well known that digital practices give birth to new behaviors: we use to inform us nowadays in other ways than by reading newspapers, we participate in events through mailing lists, through blogs or social networks. The media keep at this moment their traditional functions but always create new functions because of technological change. Our interests are powered by interactivity created. The threat of online press creates a tension between traditional media and new technologies of mass communication. Is mass communication concerning the very existence of written variants or only the type of public, the discursive techniques? The evolution of the media should focus on the goals they propose, on the means available to them and their target audiences. The effective material constraints are expressed through traditional forms of journalistic genera, for different times, by shifts and especially by the relations of communication between the journalist and the reader that change constantly. The adaptation of writing is closely linked to the new writer-reader relationship. We must invent new rhythms of writing? What information should appear in the online variant of the press? Should it be different to keep, multiply or vary the public? This study aims to give the answer to the questions mentioned using the appearances of two Romanian national newspapers and their online counterparts written variants for a week. In terms of journalistic discourse, there are some discrepancies. The study aims to highlight the changes in the discourse and the transformation of journalistic language

34

practices between the two types of media. From what we know, the Romanian press for this type of comparative study has not yet been performed.Keywords: online media, journalistic text, information revolution.

Early Modern Body Politics: From Effacement To Celebration through Costume

Roxana CONSTANTINESCU – Drd., National School of Political Sciences and Public Administration, Bucureşti

L’approche du corps, l’interprétation et la représentation du corps proviennent de la mentalité d’une époque mais aussi de divers discours circulés dans une société donnée. Dans le Moyen Age le discours religieux prévalait; celui-ci était concentré sur l’idéal spirituel et insistait sur l’idée que le corps devait être caché, camouflé, effacé parce qu’il était une source de tentation peccable et un indigne élément d’expérience humaine. L’époque pré-Renaissance a été témoin de l’essor de l’individualisme et de la sécularisation de l’art et de la pensée. L’homme de l’époque pré-Renaissance a été libéré des contraintes et de la rigidité médiévale; l’individualisme lui a donné la liberté de s’exprimer et d’évaluer, nourrir et instruire son corps comme son esprit. Cela a déclenché l’intérêt et l’accent sur le corps humain comme un atout précieux qui doit être étalé pour sa beauté, mais aussi utilisé comme une forme d’expression du statut social de l’individu. Par conséquent, le corps a été étalé avec ostentation et orné de tissus et bijoux chers.Keywords : body, costume, mentality, representation

Stereotypes in the Perception of Otherness. Case Study: Post-communist Multiethnic Communities, Babadag and Măcin

Daniela RUSU MOCĂNAŞU – Drd.,"Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

Any social actor since childhood, he outlines a general picture about the world in which he lives, learns, and internalize "practical schemes" identification, thought, action, and make daily living easier. Some of these cognitive structures may include sets of "knowledge" about the other one, descriptions of the main features and their ways of behaving, schemes which are often taken as a reference to the anchor and guide the relationship with each other, especially if another comes from a different ethnic group, which he is not familiar. In multiethnic communities, the individual comes into contact with cultures which are foreign for him. If the procedures for conducting of interethnic relations are influenced by several factors, including the purpose, values of the protagonists, context, etc., decisive to initiate such relationships are these cognitive schemas, beliefs which underlie the development of expectations toward each other, these ethnic stereotypes.

35

In the present work, we will focus on two post-communist multiethnic communities in the county of Tulcea, namely Babadag and Macin, to identify some of the stereotypes by which the individual, as a member of a certain ethnic group, select and filter information about other, seen as a member of another ethnic group, guiding its possible relationships with it.Keywords: multiethnic communities, post-communist, stereotypes, interethnic relations

The “Gastroliterature” as an Identitary Discourse of Modernity. Two Examples

Florina-Elena PÎRJOL – Post-PhD Researcher, University of Bucureşti

The gastronomic discourse is very important in the construction of a national identity. Anne-Marie Thiesse mentions cuisine among the symbolic and material elements that defines a nation and Brillat-Savarin says explicitly: “tell me what you eat and I’ll tell you who you are”. But it is also very important how you write about what you eat, and this discourse about eating is an expression of modernity. What does it mean gastroliterature and why literary men wrote about food and eating manners in an epoque where nations began to define themselves in the context of early modernity? What is the difference between gastronomy and gourmandise and how did the discourse and literature about “l’art de faire bonne chère” helped in defining nations in the XIXth century? In order to answer these questions we chose two examples of gastronomes and writers, trying to show the striking similarities between them. The first one is the inventor of gastronomic discourse – Laurent Grimod de la Reynière (1733–1793), the second one is Al.O. Teodoreanu (1894-1964), the Romanian inventor of gastronomic literature.Keywords: gastroliterature, national identity, gastronomy, modernity, gastronomic discourse

The Totalitarian Ideological Discourse and the Literature of Entrapped Stream of Consciousness

Livia MARCU – Drd., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

The literature in the totalitarian space is situated in a dystopian register submitted to various analyses, related to a system which imposes up-side-down values. Marin Preda succeeded in building a career due to his undeniable talent, after Petru Dumitriu’s leaving. The connection with his own biography proved not only the need of self-knowledge, but also the capacity of rebuilding the literature of memoirs, for example “Life as a prey” (1977).The break between the ego and the world generates a new perspective over his writing. The estrangement represents a new stage of axiological transformation that the doubtful creator can feel. In most of the cases, his works became parables of the tragedy of the contemporary man, chronotope of resignation in front of a limitative ideational system. The up-side-down perspective over the relationship between logos (word) and existence is proven by the parodical redeeming of the past, losing the solemnity of the discourse, the prosaism’s exploitation or by ostentatiously mythologising the common things.In a close relationship with reality, fiction seems to overpass the history by preferring the dystopian universe. In a society built and maintained by obedience, the scholar’s condition is limited by the Communist censorship, through all its forms of suppressing genuine scholars.Keywords: dystopic discourse, system, chronotope, entrapped stream of consciousness

Coding and Re-coding Romanian Laws. Juridical Terminology between Private and Public Discourse

Gina NECULA – Lect. dr., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

The process of encoding laws is more complex with juridical terminology than in any other type of specialized discourse due to the fact that it is supposed to generate a concise patterned communication, perfectly adapted to the needs of the modern society. Once the law issued there comes the need of implementing it and, therefore, the need of interpreting it, which is a real linguistic challenge for both specialists and litigants. Our interest here comes upon the institutionalized actions towards making laws accessible for the public. Thus it can be mentioned the SCM efforts to explain laws in order to ease public access to information. Yet, most often the result is a re-coding of the message, not necessarily an explanation even if the web page is entitled: The New Civil Code explained.

Voiculescu’s Literary Discourse and the Ancestral Magic RitualsMarilena NIŢĂ BOBÎRNILĂ – Drd.,


Magic - more precisely the survival of the magic rituals, of ancient superstitions as well as of its officiants or preservers - represents the main topic encountered throughout Voiculescu’s prose. The magic rituals serve as cultural patterns, as man’s only way of finding the strength and greatness of old times, such as it is portrayed in The Last Berevoi and The Evil Lake. Vasile Voiculescu tries to make some possible happenings seem plausible and at the same time rare, unique, non-recurring while using a vocabulary overflowing with archaic, regional and rare words that render his writing unmistakable. The narrator portrays his characters as the bearers of mystery with their unusual, staggering appearance in a place where the primitive, folk-like imagination and modern civilization meet. In the above-mentioned stories, one deals with two facettes of a character type who is conversant with ancestral mysteries: on the one hand, there is a masculine character who fails in his attempt and on the other hand, a feminine one, who manages to carry out what she sets her mind on.Keywords: magic rituals, folk-like superstitions, cultural patterns, archaic words, regional words, ancestral mysteries.

Historical Impact on Individual's Identity in Central-European ProseGeorgiana CIOBOTARU – Drd.,


History is a recurrent theme in Central-European literary works written by Hermann Broch, Robert Musil, Milan Kundera, Witold Gombrowicz or Josph Roth, and it is often expressed through a resent-laden discourse. As for Central Europe, the present is depends on the past and that ,,remnant" history of a space chracterised by a variable geometry is bound to be received not only

38

from the urban architectural perspective, but also through the nostalgic filter of the people dwelling in them. History is also closely connected to memory, this being perceived as a wide vision of the past which is projected at present. Over time perception of events alters as individuals change themselves, their memories and experiences becoming more or less vigorous according to the context. The present paper deals with the interdependence of history and memory as well as their impact on the future evolution of individuals.Keywords: resent-laden discourse, past, present, memory, identity

G. Călinescu`s Publicistic Discourse Before and After 1944. Ideological Re-configurations

Carmen Lili NANE – Drd.,"Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

In the contemporary Romanian literature, Călinescu’s critical discourse has become the point of interest of many debates and opinions. The issue of Călinescu’s both critical discourse and publicist activity facing the ever increasing pressure of the political factor and the Communist ideology after 1950 is under focus in our contemporary critics. The present paper analyses the facets of Călinescu’s publicist discourse before and after august ’44 by taking into account the critical opinions of the time (V. Mândra, I. Vitner) and of the present (N.Manolescu, Andrei Terian). In other words, the present study will focus on the relation established between the subjective and objective elements of discourse, the adhesion or denial as authorial attitudes, as well as on the conversion / replacement of the aesthetic by the newly occurred political criteria.Keywords: critical discourse, publicist, political ideology, aesthetic criterion, critical meta-discourse

Une anamnèse du concept d’idéologie dans les médiasMarian PETRU – Drd., „Ştefan cel Mare” University of Suceava

Notre étude revisite un concept controversé dans les sciences de la communication - il s’agit de « l’idéologie » - ayant comme point de départ sa protohistoire consignée jusqu’aux orientations actuelles, en traversant le marxisme vulgaire, le structuralisme, le néo-marxisme, le déconstructivisme ou les approches culturelles. Son but n’est pas de théoriser la notion, mais d’en démontrer la viabilité ou l’invalidité comme outil de travail dans la recherche des phénomènes de la communication de masse.Connectée directement à la tradition marxiste orthodoxe, l’économie politique perçoit l’idéologie soumise à la base économique. La propriété et le contrôle économique des médias sont envisagés comme un élément clé déterminant le contrôle des messages de presse. Dans le marxisme orthodoxe, l’idéologue est la mauvaise conscience qui résulte de l’imposition de l’idéologie dominante aux celles-ci dont les intérêts ne sont pas représentés. Selon les partisans de l’économisme politique marxiste, les médias masquent la base économique de la confrontation de classe. Héritière directe de la tradition marxiste, l’École de Francfort réunit l’économie politique des médias, l’analyse culturelle de texte et les études d’audience, en se concentrant plutôt sur les effets sociaux et idéologiques de la culture de masse et de la communication. L’École de Francfort comprend les produits culturels mis en circulation par les médias comme « une industrie culturelle » dont la fonction principale est de légitimer idéologiquement la société capitaliste et d’intégrer l’individu dans un cadre préétabli par cette société.L’analyse structuraliste se concentre sur les articulations internes du système de signifiance des médias. Le structuralisme remplace le matérialisme historique et la logique de l’évolution de l’histoire par la structure ; il privilégie la forme en l’inscrivant dans un schéma d’articulation préexistant. Ainsi, le structuralisme conçoit l’être humain comme étant parlé par la structure. Louis Althusser introduit l’idée de l’interpellation. L’agent interpellatif de cette vision de l’idéologie est un ensemble qu’il nomme l’appareil idéologique d’état. Ces appareils idéologiques comprennent la religion, l’éducation, la famille, le système de lois, le cadre politique, les médias, la sphère de la culture en général et se trouve sous la tutelle de l’État. Réunies, ces institutions tissent un réseau interpellatif dont l’influence est inéluctable. Althusser suggère que l’idéologie est la pratique vécue et non pas imposée de l’extérieur. Conformément à cette conception qui accorde à l’idéologie généralement le pouvoir maximal, les effets de l’idéologie sont inévitables parce qu’elle agit de l’intérieur, étant profondément enracinée dans la pensée et dans la manière de vivre des sujets, en d’autres mots, dans les pratiques des sujets.

L’approche culturaliste des médias reflète le travail de recherche du Centre d'études des cultures contemporaines de l’Université de Birmingham. L’équipe envisage les médias comme une force, même si secondaire, qui façonne la conscience publique. Les études culturelles britanniques capitalisent les contributions du marxiste italien Antonio Gramsci et remplacent la notion d’idéologie, en préférant celle, peu problématique, d’hégémonie. La stratégie principale de l’hégémonie est de construire le sens commun. L’une des thèses des études culturelles est que les médias naturalisent l’idéologie qui devient son affirmation la plus profonde.

Pragmatics of the Advertising Discourse from the Integral Textlinguistics Perspective

Adriana ROBU – Drd., „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iaşi

The various approaches of the advertising discourse proved that the sense of this type of discourse is partially understood, because usually the message is broken up in types of messages (iconic, linguistic, graphic), to which there are added psychological, social, communication models of analyzing the text/discourse. We consider that it is needed a more complex model of analysis for understanding the global sense of such type of discourse. The good results of the nowadays Pragmatics should be used within an integral model which starts from the individual level of speech (the discourse or text) so as to deal with the particularity of every text with its complex relations with the frames or the context of enunciation. The best theoretical background, in our opinion, that can help such an approach, is the integral text linguistics of Eugenio Coseriu, which offers clear distinctions between the levels of speech (universal, historical and individual) that are characterized by particular competences/knowledges (elocutional, idiomatic and expressive). All these levels of language and linguistic knowledge are paralleled by three linguistic contents, specific to every speech act: designation, meaning and sense. It means that a speech act is related to a reality, an extra linguistic reference, but it happens by means of certain categories of a particular language, which has, in different cases, a certain function within the discourse. When we start from particular cases of speech, we cannot ignore the other two levels. This is why the different disciplines of text/discourse analysis (related to these three levels) may participate with results so as to get to a better understanding of sense construction in texts. Our approach tries to prove that the pragmatic finality of the discourses is strongly connected with the global sense. And this can be very well demonstrated within the advertising discourse which, in Aristotle’s terms, is a

41

type governed by lógos pragmatikós (as a subsequent determination of lógos semantikós).Keywords: advertising discourse, integral text linguistics, Pragmatics, levels of speech

Kurt Vonnegut’s Stylistic Inventiveness in his Use of Telegraphic Schizophrenic Black Humour

Iulia NEAGU – Assistant, Drd.,"Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

A very important part of Kurt Vonnegut’s life was when he served in World War II and was a prisoner of war in Dresden, which affected him greatly. His experiences are rendered in his famous Slaughterhouse-5, the novel under discussion in the present paper, which is truly unique in point of inventiveness, style and structure, further upholding the anti-war theme and the text’s black humour. Besides the classical traits of black humour, shared by most black humorists, Vonnegut adds his distinctive stylistic characteristics that contribute to his singular form of black humour, i.e. the use of multiple narrative perspectives, the random time structure, the combination of trivial and high literature, lexical inventiveness, the play upon emotional detachment and involvement in the story, parallel verbal motifs, illustrations, the oral rhythm, the poetical stylistic devices, and the appeal to the readers’ senses, which makes the experience of black humour a total and all-encompassing one.Keywords: black humour, linguistic stylistics, stylistic inventiveness

Caragiale’s Moments and Sketches and their Critical Approaches – From the Pressure of the Totalitarian Ideology to Postmodern Re-

configurationsOana CONTOMAN – Drd.,


In the Romanian totalitarian age, Caragiale’s short prose has been read through the doctrinaire pattern subjected to Communist Party political ideology which deeply de-formed the politics-aesthetic relation favoring the first. Yet, within the contemporary literary critique, Caragiale’s Moments and Sketches are revised by taking into account their ‘classical’ signification dimension enhancing the new canonical status of his work. Obviously, Liviu Rusu’s critical approach is different from Mihail Novicov’s ideological analysis, the first focusing the dominance of the aesthetic criterion: nevertheless, Caragiale’s literary discourse is ever more appealing despite of the reading pattern applied.

The Ideology of Romanian Romanticism and its Socio-cultural Extensions – The Institution of National Theatre

Mirela CURCĂ BUZOIANU – Drd.,"Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

In the XIXth century, the cultural phenomenon entailed by the Romanian Romanticism mirrors the selective mechanisms of assimilation of the French patterns, displaying the major aim of creating national identity focused on as the key-element of all political and social claims in the epoch. In this perspective, the present study analyses the strategies by means of which the institution of the national theatre takes over and disseminates the main coordinates of the revolutionary ideology from 1848, especially through exploiting the Enlightenment, Romantic and realist dramatic expressions as to both aesthetically educate the spectator and impose a coherent Romanian identity profile.Keywords: Romantic ideology, Enlightenment, national theatre, dramatic discourse

Rhetorical Strategies in a Greek-Romanian EncomiumSilvia CHIOSEA – Drd.,

„Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iaşi

My purpose, within this conference, is to inform the audience about a less known text, regarding the history of Romanian language and letterature, that is, an encomium from the 17th century, addressed to the Romanian prince, Constantin Brancoveanu, by an Alexandrian patriarch, Gherasim Pallada. The text, registered in the catalogue of the Romanian manuscripts with the name: Epistolă şi panegiric greco-român, adresate lui Constantin Brâncoveanu (ms. BAR 766), is the object of study for my Phd thesis. Taking into consideration the context in which this manuscript appears (the attitude of distrust towards the Alexandrian patriarchs from the 17th century, caused by their calvin beliefs, and, as a consequence, the target of the Orthodox Church to initiate educational activities by using sermons and speeches with a strong moralistic feature, and, even more, by bringing Orthodox patriarchs to the Romanian royal courts, where dogmatic texts, with a polemic content, regardind the defence of the statut of the Orthodox Church, are produced), I have in view to focus on the way in which the author of this text builds this type of speech (the encomium), the terminology used, as well as, the rhetorical strategies imposed by the ideology of that time. Keywords: manuscript, encomium, rhetoric strategies, dogmatic texts

Mediating Filmic Discourse. The Case of SubtitlingAlexandru PRAISLER – Drd.,


Contemporary culture is consensually defined in terms of its being dominated by audiovisual communication, which functions along the multimodal coordinate (resulting from the fact that it produces meanings through a combination of semiotic modes which include language, image, colour, sound and perspective) and the multimedial coordinate (due to the synchronous delivery of its multiple semiotic modes via various media, with the screen holding first place in coordinating the overall presentation). The filmic text, as audiovisual communicative enterprise and complex semiotic event, uses utterances, gestures, background noises, captions, pictures and music to shape meaningful contexts which address the viewer and allow individual responses, whose multiplicity reinforces the openness of the cultural message. Consequently, for the receiver and, especially, for the translator, film poses numerous difficulties, which range from linguistic choice to cultural equivalence, mediation requirements, translation strategies, technical confines and computer literacy. The paper looks into these difficulties, as obvious in the subtitling of Horaţiu Mălăele’s Nuntă mută [Silent Wedding].Keywords: audiovisual communication, film, subtitling

Points de vue sur l’enseignement de la culture en classe de FLEAngelica VÂLCU – PhD Associate Professor,


Un des objectifs essentiels de la didactique des langues étrangères est celui de préparer les apprenants à réagir d’une manière appropriée dans les rencontres interculturelles. C’est pour cela que nous, les enseignants, en tant que médiateurs culturels, nous devons encourager nos étudiants à se détacher de leur propre culture et à s’ouvrir à la culture étrangère afin d’arriver à bien agir, communiquer, coopérer et se comporter adéquatement dans diverses situations de communication interculturelle. Le présent article porte sur les stratégies à adopter pour enseigner la compétence interculturelle, en tant que composante de la compétence communicative, dont la valorisation dans le cours de FLE impose à l’apprenant la reconstruction continue de ses représentations vis-à vis de la culture de la langue étrangère ( FLE).

Lexical Cohesion in the Novel of "Tangsir"Gity Taki – Assistant Professor of Sistan & Baluchestan UniversityAmir Gheisipour – MA student of Sistan & Baluchestan University

Text consists of sentences connected in special ways. The text is coherent because of its textual Cohesion. Lexical cohesion is one way for textual cohesion. In this kind of cohesion, the writer chooses the words related to previous sentences in some ways. In other word, lexical cohesion regulates the relation of words of two or more sentences. In this way, sense relations are created in semantic structure. In this article ,according to Halliday and Hassan's theory (1976) , the multi- ways of creating lexical cohesion in the novel of "Tangsir "(written by Sadegh Choobak) are investigated and presented . They divided lexical cohesion into repetition and collocation. Repetition or reduplication is related to the words referred to previous statements. It consists of synonymy, antonymy , and hyponymy. Collocation refers to syntagmatic relations between the words. These words are interrelated either semantically or culturally. Here, we try to find all cases of repetition and collocation in that novel and present them in special tables with their frequencies. We will show that repetition has the most frequency among lexical cohesion factors in this book, and generally, because of the correct usage of lexical cohesion factors, the text has a good cohesion. Keywords: textual cohesion, lexical cohesion, repetition, collocation, synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy

The Methodology of Teaching between Efficiency and FormalismCorina BENŢEA – Lect. dr.

"Dunărea de Jos" University of GalaţiValerica ANGHELACHE – Lect. dr."Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

In the world of today there are a number of differences between the theory and practice of the methodology of teaching that record the transition from the scientific rigor to formalism. Although the specialized literature features sufficient teaching-learning methods that can be useful tools in the achievement of the educational objectives, in the educational practice there have emerged some procedures which, without scientific consistency, are incorrectly promoted as true active-participative methods. Our study aims at answering the following question: to what extent do the teaching methods used by teachers allow the achievement of the objectives of the educational process? In this respect, our goal is to highlight new features and the relationship between new teaching methods and those that are already known. This study is a theoretical approach based on the analysis of design documents for pre-university teachers and educational activities conducted in the classroom.Keywords: method, technique, training, participation, teaching technology

From Persuasion and Suggestion to Didactic CommunicationCorina BENŢEA – Lect. dr.

"Dunărea de Jos" University of GalaţiValerica ANGHELACHE – Lect. dr."Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

As a form of social influence by which people are convinced to adopt a certain type of thinking, attitude or behavior, the persuasion is an important aspect of every type of human communication and of didactic communication too. In turn, the suggestion, as a general-human way of communication and influence, can be a necessary strategy of knowledge and action in teacher-students relationship. An effective communication involves the activation of the internal-psychological and external-situational mechanisms of communication. The optimizing of the didactic communication requires the necessity to control all the factors and procedures through which the suggestion is used and the persuasion is induced for the purpose to stimulate the students’ behaviors and attitudes changes in learning activity. The paper is focused on the analysis of the various types of actional-procedural mechanisms which produces the persuasiveness and induces suggestion in the didactic communication from different educational contexts. Keywords: didactic communication, persuasion, suggestion, learning

Theories and Theoreticians of the Literary Generation Concept. Contemporary Semantic Re-evaluations and their Socio-cultural Impact

Laurenţiu ICHIM – Drd., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

Nowadays, the concept of literary generation becomes functional within the specialized literary discourses as its semantic evolution enhances, on one hand, the dynamics of the cultural paradigms and ideas movement projected on the literary creations, and, on the other, the inter-relation of individual authorial ideologies to the larger family of synonymous creative spirits. Our study analyses the main contemporary theories mirroring this concept in the Romanian culture by pointing out both the overt effect of (relative) ideological submission in the dynamic field of creation, as well as the creative deviation (in) validating the abstract pattern – the basis of the theoretic construct the literary generation concept is rooted in. Keywords: cultural paradigm, authorial ideology, literary generation, creative act

Medico-pharmaceutical Terminology – Between the “Cryptic” Function of Language and the Metalinguistic One. Decoding Efforts in Media Discourse

Ionel APOSTOLATU – Lect. dr., “Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

The domain of the medico-pharmaceutical terminology, with a significant socio-cultural impact, brings about a series of transparency issues as regards the communication between specialists and laymen. The existence of some linguistic barriers, affecting the communication efficiency at the level of the exogene discourse (used by specialists in communicating with the usual beneficiaries of the medical treatment) presupposes some decoding efforts on the part of the laymen, seized between the action of the so-called “cryptic” function of language and the metalinguistic one. Our paper aims at identifying the techniques / strategies found in the mass media language through which the

47

metalinguistic function, the one of overriding encoding, can be activated, with the pragmatic urge for communication transparency and alterity.Keywords: medico-pharmaceutical terminology, transparency, linguistic barriers, efficiency, exogene discourse, “cryptic” vs metalinguistic function

Didactical Paradigms - New Tendencies and Approaches in the Third Millennium

Re-shaping the Educational Systems in the Knowledge-Based SocietySimona MARIN – PhD Associate Professor, "Dunărea de Jos" University of

Galaţi

The Romanian educational system has taken over the new educational policies hoping that they will be the motivating element of gaining efficiency and authentic competition goals by promoting the values displayed by the knowledge-based society: communication, cooperation, initiative, investment, performance and quality. Thus, the organisational field asks for reformative changes, as it is open to the optimisation process working at two different levels: the strategic one - belonging to the structures coordinating the entire educational system aiming at a new, open and always flexible pattern when coping with both the conceptualisation and application of the educational policies - and the operational one, mirroring the activity of the teaching organisms where education is actually at work.Keywords: educational policies, knowledge-based society, reformative changes

Pour une analyse de la métaphore entre manipulation verbale et impostureEugenia ALAMAN – PhD Associate Professor, "Dunărea de Jos" University

of Galaţi

Dans le discours contemporain, celui des journalistes analystes ou des hommes politiques jouant aux savants, la métaphore en tant que figure stylistique, d’un côté et l’emploi du mot métaphore d’un autre côté, révèlent plusieurs dualités et ambigüités. Aux exemples d’utilisation stylistiquement correcte de la métaphore, s’opposent souvent les utilisations aberrantes ou vagues, incompréhensibles ou même gênantes. Par conséquent, nous constatons que la manipulation verbale, au sens négatif du terme, est issue de l’ignorance, de la confusion entre les notions : métaphore, comparaison, métonymie ou symbole, d’un certain déséquilibre entre le sens littéral et le sens figuré ou bien du manque d’exigence terminologique. Notre analyse s’appuie sur quelques exemples que nous allons essayer d’expliquer et justifier du point de vue psycholinguistique.Mots-clés : métaphore, manipulation verbale, imposture

Exile Narratives – from Psychological Mechanisms to Ideological Motivation

Iulia BARNA – Asist. dr., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

Within the Communist age, the Romanian political censorship has functioned as the key-factor in generating the phenomenon of the exile. The Romanian writers who have never accepted the overruling political regime and favored the reality-oriented, aesthetically-coined, transparent literature by means of which they rejected ‘word blindness’ and stereotypical discourse have been forced to emigrate. The present study is focused on the analysis of the exile narratives, be they epical or dramatic, so as to grasp the thinking subtlety, the psychology determining a special type of literature virulently opposing the ideological constraints.Keywords: exile narratives, psychological mechanisms, ideological motivation, literature of revolt

Formes et techniques d’écriture et de traduction au XIXe siècle : modèles culturels et linguistiques

Ana-Elena COSTANDACHE – Asist. dr., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

Tout au long de son évolution, la littérature roumaine a connu des mutations, des avatars de sa propre formation. Chaque époque a proposé de nouvelles expressions, formes et visions sur le monde des écrivains et l’évolution de la littérature a été, en fait, une évolution des modalités expressives, un renouvellement des paradigmes stylistiques déjà connus. Au XIXe siècle, les littératures européennes offraient à la littérature roumaine « une liste » d’auteurs dont les créations représentaient des modèles culturels et linguistiques à suivre. Ces derniers ont eu l’occasion d’aborder des formes et des techniques d’écrire et de traduire selon des modèles déjà consacrés. Les nouveaux canons esthétiques se sont très bien greffés sur la base littéraire des provinces roumaines. De cette manière, nous nous proposons de faire une incursion dans l’espace socioculturel roumain afin d’observer les formes et les techniques d’écriture de l’époque, en même temps que les tournures lexicales qui ont assuré l’originalité des écrivains roumains. Mots-clés: formes d’écriture, modèles linguistiques, tournures lexicales, traducteurs.

A Terminological Analysis of Feminist IdeologyMihai ANDRONE – Lect. dr., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

Feminism may be considered without any exaggeration as an ideology of high impact on today’s society. The present paper aims at analysing feminist terminology from the point of view of the philosophical and cultural anthropology, as well as Christian anthropology, particularly focusing on the aspects related to gender roles, and the manner of promoting gender equality. In this case, the paper’s objective is to evince the dynamics of feminist arguments used in combating the traditional conceptions about the relations between men and women, without hesitating to put forward some of the latest philosophical-theological reactions whereby certain Western authors take their distance from feminism.Keywords: feminism, feminist terminology, Christian anthropology, gender roles

On Romanian Technico-Scientific TerminologyOana Magdalena CENAC – Lect. dr., "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

With this paper, we shall debate on the scientific terminology which represents a lexical block that designates specialized notions from the field of science and

50

technology. Simultaneously, terminology is defined as the science of terms which it studies, in point of the linguistic and socio-psychological mechanisms, their emergence, evolution and spreading. The study of terminology comprises several sciences: linguistics (regarding terminology as a variant of lexicology from which it adopts methods of analysis), logic, documentation, communication, sociology, informatics etc. Terminology is required to offer useful elements of analysis concerning the structure of terminologies, the relationship between name and the referential world, the controlled or corrected formation of neologisms, the terminological regularization, the spreading and the naturalization of terms. The formation of systems of terms in various fields of knowledge is in direct connection with the development of science, with the improvement of the system of scientific and technical notions. Another important issue related to the scientific terminology is the etymology of the words used internationally which are part of it. These terms differ from language to language almost only in point of phonetics (their written forms being identical or very similar in most of cases). Therefore, on the lexical level, the clash between the new and the old takes various forms: older words change their meaning and become part of the new denominative system; some disappear or lose their technical meaning, entering another semantic field. Whether geographic or linguistic texts, medical or philosophical, they all are characterized by their use of a specific vocabulary. Thus, the terms typical to linguistic writing, formed, as a rule, through loan translation, refer to orthography, phonetics, morphology, syntax, poetics, which are considered to be component parts of grammar. Regionalisms and archaisms have a special place in Romanian technico-scientific terminology. In the new edition of Lexiconul tehnic român, letter C, Lucreţia Mareş distinguishes between: terms considered to be regional; terms that appear as regionalisms or as folk terms in general dictionaries and terms that are not recorded in DEX but they appear in other dictionaries. At the same time, we shall debate on the specific features that characterize the morphological level and the syntactic level employed in the scientific terminology. In specialized languages, the concepts are explained by definitions that must identify the concept with a unique extension and intension. Approaching this matter, Dorina Chiş points out different types of definitions such as: the relational definition, the conceptual definition, the stipulating definition and the ostensive definition. From a structural point of view, terminological definitions fall into three categories: generic definitions, partitive definitions, categorial definitions. When writing the definition, the terminologist must not forget that the sentence he uses must be clear and concise, usually made up of a subject (the concept to be defined), a copulative verb (most often ‘to be’) and its subject complement which represents the definition proper.

51

Built on Neo-Greek, Russian or German elements, starting with the second half of the 19th century, the Romanian specialized terminology was under strong Romanic influences (especially French), which determined massive barrowings. Since then and up to this day the number of the scientific terms has increased impressively by means of two ways that we are going to debate on in our paper: internal means - forming new words starting from the already existent words and external means – borrowing words from other languages. Key ords: scientific terminology, definition, extension and intension of terms.

The Postmodern Culture of Relativism Effected by and/or Affecting Ideological Reshapings

Steluţa STAN – PhD Associate Professor, "Dunărea de Jos" University of Galaţi

The global mutations in the architecture of the contemporary world and the mentality of the postmodern being determine the cultural approach that today, more than ever, takes part in the social and communicational weaving of the world, models it and becomes one of its most significant epiphenomena.In the same time, postmodernity has made it clear that a major ideological revolution is on its way to create a no man’s land for oppositions unsolved but dissolved in mutual tolerance. A liminal space, neither inside, nor outside, or simultaneously inside and outside, becomes possible for homo ludens who, without denying their reality, witnesses the results of an unprecedentedly paced technological progress with a feeling of alienation and a minor sense of the context or of the connection, non-problematizing anything, an accomplice to consumerism and lack of critical accents. This social construct, whose independent or autonomous access to reality or objective truth (inherently ‘political’ and ‘subversive’) is denied, displays a tendency to be ideologically confused rather than deeply committed to its convictions. Prophesizing the rhetoric of openness to everything and tolerance for everyone, postmodern ideologues have been successful in transforming ideology into popular zeitgeist, and have replaced the tyranny of universal truth and objective reason with self-empowering stories, typically functioning at the expense of truth, “authority as truth rather than truth as authority”.Keywords: postmodern ideology, technological progress, cultural relativism, ideological reshaping, posthumanism

Paremiological aspects in constructing national identityMaria ACIOBĂNIŢEI,

Drd., Universitatea „Dunărea de Jos" din Galaţi:

The discussion of identity in the age of globalization generated the sensible question asked by Morley and Robbins as early as 1995: “Is it at all possible,

52

in global times, to regain a coherent and integral sense of identity?” (1995: 122). In modern times, we witness a clash between the need to preserve identity and the immediacy and intensity of global cultural confrontations. Moreover, the security and comfort of traditionality are challenged and reshaped by the need to renew self-interpretation. The current tendency of effacing borders between cultures is met with the counteraction of maintaining that which unifies and makes a nation unique: its culture, its heritage, its history, and last but not least, its language. The present paper discusses the essential role of folklore in general and proverbs in particular in creating Romanian national identity, while attempting to provide an answer to the question: is translation able to ensure the preservation of identity, be it cultural or linguistic?

Keywords: proverbs, cultural identity, translation, self-interpretation, re-shaping identity
