The turn of the current century has witnessed the re-negotiation of materiality and the growing ascendancy of the virtual, the immaterial over the real or tangible. Though it would be presumptuous to claim that the virtual has totally assumed control over the real, it can be asserted that the figure of the wall as a transfusion between the real/virtual and the self/other has emerged between the two. Based on constructions of textuality articulated by theorists such as Roland Barthes and Friedrich Nietzsche, and a pastiche format that mimics the functionality of the wall of scription, this article brings together multiple enactments of mural scriptions that include the concrete, textual, textile, vegetative and the virtual in order to articulate the Dionysian property of wall-effects. It traces successive actualisations of the wall, analysing how the virtual Facebook wall assimilates and re-dynamizes the traits of the tangible walls through an array of intertextual/inter-medial modalities.

Bathhouses have a strong presence in Iranian folklore and Persian literature. In parallel with literature, there are illustrations in which the topic of bathhouses is exhibited. This paper focuses on a 16th century Persian miniature painting in which the location of a public bathhouse is used as a place of occurrence of a homosexual love story. On the one hand, bathhouses as places of “purification”, and, on the other hand, corporeal bodies as agency of tactile experience create a novel dialectic between the space and its inhabitants. In an atypical study of the spatial organisation of bathhouses in the Safavid period Iran (1501-1736), the paper argues that architecture at the beginning of Iran’s modern era, not only questions the normative configurations of space, but also starts to object to the solid foundations of existing religious/societal norms.

The present article analyses the social function of comedy in the age of building the Romanian modern culture, from an ethical perspective. The importance of the social role of comedy is underlined by its unparalleled prominence and productivity as a literary form, even surpassing the novel in this respect. Martha Nussbaum notes that all societies need “the spirit of comedy” in order to manage the disgust in front of what is new, different, unacceptable or simply other. Taking this cue, the analysis follows the topics of social division, the forms of marginalization and disdain, but also the reconciliation strategies featuring in the 19th century Romanian theatre. Specifically, the article details the end of comedy and its evolutions throughout the century. The approach underlines the way in which literary mechanisms and traditions are involved in peace-making and in social resolution, insisting on the consistency between the forms of social relations (friendship, love, solidarity, co-dependency, etc.) and the literary forms at the end of comedy.
