This article discusses the history of creative contacts between the great Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen and the German poet Christian Morgenstern (1871–1914). Christian Morgenstern’s life was short and marred by physical suffering, but fantastically full and diverse in creative terms. A significant part of Christian Morgenstern’s lyrical and epistolary legacy was published only after his death thanks to the efforts of his wife and friends. Christian Morgenstern’s translations of Henrik Ibsen’s works date from the late 19th century, when the new Solomon Fischer’s publishing house (S. Fischer Verlag) in Berlin decided to publish the complete works of Ibsen in a translation into a German language that would be worthy of the original language. The publishing house turned to a young and at the time still little known poet who, being in love with Scandinavian literature and with Henrik Ibsen, set to work with great enthusiasm, settled in a family boarding house near Christiania, in a short time learned Norwegian, consulted and corresponded with Ibsen several times and as a result created translations for his plays, the German of which was delighted and earned the high praise of the playwright. An authorized edition of the translations was printed in Germany between 1898 and 1904 and is now a bibliographic rarity. However, many of Ibsen’s works are still published in Germany in the translation of Christian Morgenstern, known primarily as an unsurpassed master of poetic miniatures in a unique style of lyrical humor.

The article focuses on the concept of time in human and global perspective in the poetry of two Swedish authors of the 19th century: Per Atterbom and Viktor Rydberg. These two poets belong to different branches of the Romantic movement. Atterbom represents the early mystic Romanticism and he is one of the first Romantic authors in Sweden. Rydberg is a post-Romantic poet: his poetic works contain features that are characteristic of the literature of Romanticism, but they were written in the last decades of the century. The theme of the power of time is one of the most important for both authors, it determines characters of lyrical heroes and poetics in many of their poems but in different ways. Atterbom represents the destructive power of time. Thus, the main characters of his fairy tale play “The Isle of Bliss”, Hyperborean king Astolf and nymph Felicia, live on a magical island and aspire to escape from Time, but Time overcomes them. Atterbom shows in his poetry that time hasn’t its limits in the world beyond. Rydberg represents the characters who try to apprehend the rules of time. The immortal mythological creatures in his poems (the Tomten, the elf of a river) cannot explain why time has such an influence on man and mankind. This theme corresponds with a philosophical matter of the meaning of human life. The humans in Rydberg’s lyrics do not try to overcome time as they perceive the nature and its rules throw their senses.

The article presents arguments for implementing the alternative research sources and manners, that of the visual methods ones, regarding the investigation of the holidays of spring-summer-autumn cycle. Discussions and examples are operated by interpreting family photos at the Easter celebration in the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic (MSSR). Specifying the qualities of the photographic method used in visual anthropology and considering the content of the accumulated photographic materials, the author looks at them as techniques in field research, as well as documentary sources. The relevance of a dialogue between the researcher and the people eternalized in the images or of their owners is pointed out, in order to ensure a reflexive investigation via various optics. Pictures are estimated as visual testimonies and narratives, able to provide information for the certification, reconstruction, and understanding of the cultural and religious facts displayed in domestic settings

The article examines lexical units derived from neological roots, especially those that form whole families of words. Following their analysis, it is demonstrated that most of these vocabulary elements require to be interpreted, from an etymological point of view, as derived words within the Romanian language, regardless of whether or not they are based on foreign derivative models.

The article contains a description of the informational structure of the sentence in its capacity as a layer of meaning constituted as an effect of its contextual updating. A complex phenomenon of a discursive nature, the informational structure of the utterance requires an interpretation of the facts of language by taking into account the interrelationship between the semantic, syntactic and discursive factors involved in the act of communication. The semantic-pragmatic specificity of the informational structure of the sentence is analysed starting from the extralinguistic factors that control it. Particular attention is paid to the distinctive features of the minimal units of this structure. The criteria for identifying the topic and the rhyme of a sentence are presented, with emphasis on the recognition of the units in question in the process of linguistic analysis. By examining this layer of meaning, our goal is to show that the Romanian language has a complex mechanism that allows its expression and variation in relation to other layers of meaning of the sentence.

The poem of Vieru contributed significantly to the reeducation of a psychologically disfigured by proletarian ideology nation. Pioneer’s song and “October’s” acclamations replaced the tune of the sun and the impressive dialogue of non-speaker beings. Vieru’s living beings guided the little reader through the discovery of the vital senses and himself. The poem of Vieru demonstrates the sacredness of an infantile universe: a native village, a parent`s house, a mother’s being, and an inhabitant of nature. The figurative projector of the village in the poems of Vieru is identified as a truly “pantheon” of the value cult. A village re(calls) the reader to come back to the ancestral springs. In the being of a little reader, the poet educates some general human values through intermedia of the rural poem and its “world”.

The article tackles the peculiarities of specialized language, particularly the diplomatic language in the domains of interest such as particular knowledge and terminology. Various approaches, definitions, classifications regarding metalogisms are revealed, which have an indisputable importance in validation of the diplomatic language. The study approach reflects the complexity and diversity of metalogisms, as well as the notorious names in the field of linguistics and semantics. Moreover, the analysis of metalogisms brings us closer to the idea that, despite the terminology and technical aspects, the specialized languages denote an indisputable aesthetic value.

Starting from the ancient concept of mimesis to the view on authenticity of realist writers, this article aims to follow the evolution of approaches to the problem of authenticity within the framework of literary history. We will delimit the character of authenticity of literatures of different periods by means of literary theory texts, but also by referencing some of the most known and/or suggestive works of literature. We will emphasize the differences and similarities between the conceptions, phenomena, literary currents that refer to authenticity, trying to motivate their evolution. The subjects to which we will particularly draw attention refer to the relationship between fiction and authenticity; literary authenticity expressed within literary phenomena; and the influence of philosophical conceptions of authenticity on literature, starting from ancient literary texts until the modernist movement in literature.

Nowadays, the challenges that the diplomatic world has to overcome are diverse and difficult to manage. Since the primary purpose of diplomacy is to reach agreement by softly overcoming disagreement, the use of euphemisms is of paramount importance. This article focuses to observe the way the diplomatic language function by means of euphemisms and to highlight their efficiency. Language is not a simple tool of conveying meaning by itself. The meaning should be decoded according to the context, the needs and interests of the sender involved in the process of communication and its various ways of perceptions. Thus, the role of euphemisms is to convey, besides the meaning of the message, perceived ad litteram, the attitude of the sender towards the receiver in order to mitigate the impact that the message would have on them.

The article addresses the issue of normative conflicts from the theoretical perspective of philosophy of values and socio-cultural anthropology and in the context of the current culture wars in Western societies, instigated by radical ideologies that colonize all spheres of life, reversing normative axiological hierarchies and thus causing anthropological, societal and epistemic upheavals. Their sources and manifestations are described and certain paradigmatic effects on humanistic knowledge, language and literature are analyzed.
