Alexandra Ciocârlie
In her novel, Madeline Miller proposes reconstructing Circe’s legends from classical sources by offering a feminine, even feminist, perspective on events. In the protagonist’s account, the witch’s history appears as a delineation from the despotic deities and a way of coming closer to the mortals which ultimately ammounts to abandoning her own condition. The central part of the novel starts from the story of Odissey and continues with events narrated in Telegony, poem which was dedicated to the son of Odysseus and Circe who unwillingly became the killer of his father. Although she follows the Homeric narrative in detail, the author sometimes relates critically to the literary model. The events told by Odysseus and Circe in a heroic or debunking form reveal their polivalence. In the extension of the Homeric narrative, the last part of the novel encompasses the events that occurred after the return to Itaca of Odysseus, unable to find fulfillment on his native lands because of his thirst for the unknown and adventures. The hero’s image gradually darkens, the author accentuating his violence or his generalized suspicion. Reconstructing the events from Circe’s perspective allows Madeline Miller to delineate from the Odyssey which she has followed scrupulously up to a certain point.

This article addresses the translation challenges posed by humanities as far as the rendition of conceptual language is concerned. We begin by outlining the characteristics of humanities in contrast to natural sciences and literature, emphasising the primary role of concepts and their function as carriers of explicit and implicit intertextual references. We then proceed by juxtaposing some key concepts used in Mircea Eliade’s essay The Sacred and the Profane with their Bulgarian equivalents proposed by the translator. The analysis aims to illustrate the importance of accuracy in concept translation and the significant changes in meaning that can occur when the original text is adapted to the local audience without regard to the research traditions of the particular field of knowledge to which the source belongs.

This paper represents a review article of Paul B Preciado’s major work, Testo Junkie: Sex, Drugs, and Biopolitics in the Pharmacopornographic Era, recently translated by Daniel Clinci at frACTalia. I will proceed to do so by offering a short contextualization of Preciado’s academic formation and activity, followed by a tackling of the main concepts he borrows from post-structuralist thought. Given Preciado’s fragmented manner of writing this text, which brings together theory and auto-biographical fiction, I will also engage in a type of media analysis that the reader might find atypical for a review, whose main focus is to draw on some cinematic parallels, in order to extract an account for the new emerging kind of subjectivity that the pharmacopornographic regime creates. I will present Preciado’s analysis of the pharmacopornographic regime by following three main concepts that consolidate his body of work: the deconstruction of sex, the economic analysis of potentia gaudendi (orgasmic force) and the political construction of categories. At the same time, I will evaluate Preciado’s materialist turn by offering a critique of consistency. Lastly, I will emphasize the importance of this book in intersectional analysis while criticizing some points that Preciado either fails to consider, or whose dangers he minimizes while proposing a praxis for political dissidence.
本文是对Paul B Preciado的主要著作《Testo Junkie:药物色情时代的性、毒品和生物政治》的一篇综述文章,该书最近由Daniel Clinci在frACTalia翻译。我将通过提供普雷西亚多的学术形成和活动的简短背景来继续这样做,然后处理他从后结构主义思想中借鉴的主要概念。考虑到普雷西亚多写作这篇文章的支离破碎的方式,它将理论和自传体小说结合在一起,我也将参与一种媒体分析,读者可能会发现这是一篇非典型的评论,其主要重点是借鉴一些电影的相似之处,以便为药物色情制度创造的新出现的主体性提供一种解释。我将通过以下三个主要概念来介绍普雷西亚多对药物色情制度的分析,这三个概念巩固了他的作品:性的解构,高登迪潜能(性高潮力量)的经济分析和分类的政治建构。同时,我将通过对一致性的批判来评价普雷西亚多的唯物主义转向。最后,我将强调这本书在交叉分析中的重要性,同时批评普雷西亚多没有考虑到的一些观点,或者他在提出政治异见实践时最小化了这些观点的危险。

La Celestina is influenced by ideological and aesthetic aspects of its time, such as moralising literature, the new lyrical currents coming from Italy and the emergence of new literary genres. However, it is emphasised that the author was directly or indirectly familiar with the main classical authors and uses them to reinforce the didactic and moralising character of the work. Already at the beginning of the Prologue, Heraclitus, Petrarch, Aristotle, Pliny, and Lucan are mentioned in order to highlight how the struggles between masters and slaves, between pleasure and virtue, between the earthly and the heavenly world are the backbone of the play’s plot. In this context, the cultivation of sorcery cannot be absent. In La Celestina, we see techniques of sympathetic magic, such as the nomen omen and the possession of another person’s will through objects. The passage of Celestina’s incantation, as well as the possession of Melibea’s cord, are examples of this. Apuleius’ Metamorphoses may have been a source of inspiration for the author of the Tragicomedy. Along with the techniques of witchcraft, we observe in the work an almost parodic distortion of Christian discourse to justify certain behaviours. Magic and enchantment were considered dangerous and related to the devil and witchcraft, and those accused of practising magic could be persecuted and severely punished. La Celestina is an example of how superstition in a broad sense (magic and religion) is used to give an irrational explanation to phenomena, such as Calisto’s amorous obsession.

This paper aims at analyzing the connection between the contemporary Romanian literature and world literature through the emergence of maximalist novel embodied in Bogdan-Alexandru Stănescu’s novel, Abraxas. The author belongs to the 2000 generation, a generation which has neglected the postmodern maximalist approach. Therefore, I intend to analyze the emergence of maximalism in Bogdan-Alexandru Stănescu’s novel by indicating the tension it generated in regards with the previous minimalist formula and by observing the connection of literature with the socio-economic context of the 2000’s.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the manner in which the concepts defined in The Doctrine of Substance represent a starting point for each of Camil Petrescu’s pieces of writing. After making an overview of the writer’s philosophical system, I will focus on his novels in order to demonstrate how the interpretation of the literary works changes when the interconnection between the two fields in which the same writer operates, namely philosophy and literature, are taken into account.

National theatre was at the forefront of nation-building efforts in Europe at the end of the 19th century. New nations instrumentalized traditional motifs such as legends, myths of origin, and fairytales for their alleged part in shaping “national character.” In this paper I analyze how Lucian Blaga, an iconic playwright and philosopher of romantic-nationalist inspiration, used folklore in Zamolxis, Pagan Mystery (1921) in Romania to mythify the national self-image. Employing a deconstructionist, postcolonial reading of the play, I analyze the use of myth and its role in the construction of the national imaginary. I also situate this process in the geopolitical context of the late 19th and early 20th century Eastern Europe, a place in which several newly created nation-states instrumentalized culture to compete with one another for the legitimization of both territorial claims and political supremacy.

With a tradition of economic, political, and institutional settings built on a dynamic based on dominance, animals have been systematically assigned the role of an inferior form of „otherness”, essential, nevertheless, in shaping the anthropocentric mentality and validating the narrative of human exceptionalism. The longevity of such speciesist practices throughout the humanist discourses obliges the posthumanist project of creating a postanthropocentric concept of subjectivity to pay special attention to the issues regarding the animals, their representations, and their interactions with ‘us’. This paper stems from Rosi Braidotti’s project of a posthuman subject understood as a hybrid entity integrated through a system of material and informational connections with all forms of existence in the natureculture continuum and follows the implications it has on redesigning our interactions with the non-human beings in a post-anthropocentric context. My purpose is to study how contemporary Romanian poetry reflects this new vision of subjectivity and its impact on reimagining the relations between the human and non-human beings. The analysis on volumes such as val chimic’s umilirea animalelor (the humiliation of animals), Mihók Tamás’s biocharia. ritual ecolatru, Adelina Pascale’s maki for 2, Gabi Eftimie’s Sputnik în grădină (Sputnik in the garden), or Diana Cornea’s Setări avansate de lumină (Advanced lighting settings) confirms the increasing interest of Romanian post-millenary poetry in reshaping the depictions of animals and human-animal interactions according to a postanthropocentric perspective.
由于传统的经济、政治和制度设置建立在基于支配地位的动态基础上,动物被系统地分配为一种劣等形式的“他者”的角色,然而,在塑造人类中心主义的心态和验证人类例外论的叙述中,这是必不可少的。这种贯穿人文主义话语的物种主义实践的长期存在,迫使后人文主义项目创造一个后人类中心的主体性概念,特别关注有关动物的问题,它们的表现,以及它们与“我们”的互动。本文源于罗西·布雷多蒂(Rosi Braidotti)的后人类主体项目,该项目将后人类主体理解为一个混合实体,通过与自然文化连续体中所有形式的存在形式的物质和信息联系系统进行整合,并遵循它对在后人类中心背景下重新设计我们与非人类的互动的影响。我的目的是研究当代罗马尼亚诗歌如何反映这种主体性的新视野,以及它对重新想象人类与非人类之间关系的影响。对val chimic的unilirea animalelor(动物的羞辱),Mihók Tamás的biocharia等卷的分析。仪式ecolatru, Adelina Pascale的maki for 2, Gabi Eftimie的Sputnik n gr dinu(花园里的人造卫星),或者Diana Cornea的set ri avansate de luminu(高级照明设置)证实了罗马尼亚千禧年后诗歌在重塑动物和人类与动物互动的描绘方面越来越感兴趣,根据后人类中心主义的观点。

The analysis on volumes such as val chimic’s umilirea animalelor (the humiliation of animals), Mihók Tamás’s biocharia. ritual ecolatru, Adelina Pascale’s maki for 2, Gabi Eftimie’s Sputnik în grădină (Sputnik in the garden), or Diana Cornea’s Setări avansate de lumină (Advanced lighting settings) confirms the increasing interest of Romanian post-millenary poetry in reshaping the depictions of animals and human-animal interactions according to a postanthropocentric perspective.","PeriodicalId":39326,"journal":{"name":"Revista Transilvania","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70877717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
