These tendencies have been gradually adopted in all connected research fields, from cultural and political geography to social sciences (sociology, anthropology, political economy), landscaping, territorial and urban planning, and others. In a globalized world of rapidly shifting influences and cultural areas, places and territories are far less delineated than before and are understood in a dynamic, fluid interaction with each other.

The last decades have witnessed an increased interest in the research of territorial delimitations in late medieval and early modern Europe. A significant part of the academic debate has been focused on identifying and defining the process of transition from medieval frontiers, perceived as vague areas of contact, to modern linear borders. The aim of this article is to analyse the organization of the western confines of the Transylvanian Principality during the decades in which this state was formed, from the Ottoman conquest of Buda (1541) until the ratification of the Speyer Peace Treaty (1571). Throughout this period, the territorial delimitation of Transylvania from the Ottoman Empire and Habsburg Hungary was an ongoing process, marked by both military confrontations and diplomatic negotiations. Through a critical reassessment of the most relevant Romanian and Hungarian literature on this complex subject and the analysis of new data from official and narrative contemporary sources, I have tried to identify which were the most important political and military events that shaped the western borderlands of Transylvania. A fundamental objective of my research is to provide an accurate definition for the western region of the Transylvanian Principality, contributing thus to the general debate on the nature of frontiers/borders in sixteenth century Europe.

The book is a cultural and social research on the train journey written by the historian Radu Mârza, “a passionate traveller” (Mârza, 2020, p. 9), who documented himself carefully and passionately in relation to the topic of the landscape viewed by travellers of Romanian origin who travelled by train during the first century of railway history (1830-1930). The author not only likes to travel, but also to write about the others’ travels revealing that, during his book readings, he discovered “that behind a simple account of a train journey there is a whole world, made up of little landscape and from many people, caught in a complicated – and fascinating – network of social and cultural relationships. This is how things look from and on the train” (Mârza, 2020, p. 189; my translation). In order to restore the atmosphere of those times, but also to stimulate our appetite for reading, Radu Mârza reproduces within the volume, in extenso, various quotations from the studied period sources – the travel writings as the documentary foundation of this book (memorial works, correspondence, reports published in the press, travel books).
这本书是历史学家Radu m rza写的关于火车旅行的文化和社会研究,“一个充满激情的旅行者”(m rza, 2020年,第9页),他仔细而热情地记录了自己在铁路历史的第一个世纪(1830-1930)乘坐火车旅行的罗马尼亚裔旅行者所看到的风景主题。作者不仅喜欢旅行,也喜欢写别人的旅行,在他读书的过程中,他发现“在简单的火车旅行的背后,有一个完整的世界,由小小的风景和许多人组成,陷入一个复杂而迷人的社会和文化关系网络中。”这就是从火车上看到的事物”(m扎,2020,第189页;我的翻译)。为了还原那个时代的气氛,也为了激发我们的阅读欲望,Radu m扎在书中广泛地复制了所研究时期来源的各种引文-旅行著作作为本书的文献基础(纪念作品,通信,在新闻界发表的报告,旅行书籍)。

This book is a sophisticated product in the field of Cultural Geography, showing how the city-text of East Berlin has been written, especially after 1989, discussing the role of architecture, urban planning and memory to create the legitimate history within a post-socialist urban area, illustrating its path-dependency concerning urban symbols, history and cultural landscape. It answers questions about official narratives on German identity post-1989.

Although the book chapters focus on different, specific topics, covering various areas, including Europe, South Africa, India, Middle East, South America, etc., the volume succeeds to construct a unitary analysis, which has as main goal to draw on the negative sides of globalization processes. How and why globalization generates marginalization and how, through marginalization, various forms of conflicts are triggered constitute research questions, formulated in a form or another by authors in all book chapters. Specific responses are given by authors, considering the peculiarities of the tackled topics, of the focused on groups, of cultural/historical embedded accumulations, of spaces and places.

By combining the technical and empirical research methods, this article aims at establishing the role of the landforms in the location of Roman settlements and fortifications in Northern Transylvania, Romania, focusing on the Dacia Porolissensis (province of the Roman Empire) border and how (and if) these elements are still present in the local identity. Cartographic methods helped us to achieve the technical part. We used the ArcMap 10.6 software. The result obtained through digital modelling is the morphometric identification of the territorial discontinuities. Considering the qualitative aspects, the used methods were the traditional ones: analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction. These methods enabled us to better understand how these settlements influenced the regional identity. The results of the study are emphasizing the strategical importance of the landforms in establishing the Roman castrum, and it demonstrates how (or if) the associated settlements remained present in the locals’ mentality and influenced the regional identity.
