Caragiale", Bucharest Techniques and Technologies for Soundtrack Making. Technical Interventions with Aesthetic Purpose regarding Sound Height (Frequency)AbstractFor the beginning, through the speech of high sound approach height – own to human hearing – the present article aims to treat only the technical repairs with aesthetic purposefulness in the extreme frequencies zone of the sound spectrum which are present in the sound of film: the "lows" zone and the "acutes" zone. Not accidentally, these "lows" and "acutes" that are present in the sound of film, both play an important role creating to the spectator-listener of a special psychiatric state and highlighting specific features of sound. Here, in these zones, are focused, the warm, the roundness, respectively the brightness and the transparency of the sound message with remarkable positive consequences to the spectator level perception. If for the beginning, in "low" frequencies domain as well as in "high" frequencies domain, are passed in review the treatment modalities used in time, treatments and technical imperfections which drastically decreased own expressiveness of these acoustic registers, the modern current technical solutions, restoration of the "rights" of the expressive capacity of areas of heights above-mentioned noise are subsequently raised. And these only in aesthetic idea of the purpose of optimizing the performance of the suggestive sound column. PhD Florentina HEROIU, University of Theatre and Film , "I.L. Caragiale", Bucharest Kin-Dza-DzaAbstractSome where… out of stars… Kin-Dza-Dza, dystopia versus utopia Georgi Daneliya’s movie it’s a cultured movie but… painfully present, seemingly a SF comedy, in fact a parable movie with certain references to economic crises (also to ethic, linguistic and ecology crises) from 80’. The consequences of the economical crises sum up the planet to a vast desert, the vocabulary reduced only to 11 words, the unique exchange currency – the match and if you want to sing you are introduced in a cage. A future almost palpable from the new millennium sight or just a simple mythology of a Georgian film director vision who persists in denial the conformism ?! Are we alone?! Is somebody listening to our yell or just because we are in the infinite space night nobody can hear you when you bawl?! Ph.D. LIANA IONESCU Media University, Bucharest TV News Report: Combining Pictures and SoundsAbstractThe TV information does not deliver a true part of reality, but evokes it through a system of connotations which suggest ideas. The elements of a TV report are mainly pictures and sounds, and not words and their illustrations. Pictures are going successively on the TV screen; meanwhile sounds are coming to us as words (dialogues and commentaries), noise and music. In this perspective, the production of the audiovisual informative message requires putting and working together in a specific way the two components: pictures and sounds. Academic Razvan THEODORESCU, The Romanian Academy Anglo-Saxons at the Black SeaAbstract The anonymous author of the Chronicon Laudunense describes their itinerary on the sea with 235 ships, from British to Spanish and North-African coasts. It is possible that these Anglo-Saxon to have reached the Black Sea, in a region conquered at that time by "pagans", once in Byzantines possession. Also, in the center and northern Dobrogea, at Murfatlar and Garvan, also in southern Moldavia is keeping, from the same age, testimonials of some cultural presences, called "Viking" and attributed to Varego-Byzantines relations from the year 1000.PhD Ramona Mihaila Universitatea "Spiru Haret", Bucharest Representations of women’s roles in 19th century romanian fictionAbstract The latter half of the 19th century in Romania was a time of unprecedented change and emancipation for Romanian women regarding their political engagement, legal status, access to higher education, entrance into the professions and public life and their visibility in the professional world of literature and arts where they started to forge a tradition of their own. The present article recovers and explores the work of a number of totally neglected Romanian writers and women writers and I assess their achievement by their late 19th century cultural impact, in an age of significant changes in women’s social status and of diversification and reshaping of women’s rolesPhD Paul Cernat Bucuharest University Le roman de l'entre- deux- guerres et la nostalgie de 'l'Ancien Régime'Abstract The inter-war novel and the nostalgia for "The Old Regime" The purpose of the following essay is to outline a typology (among the many possible ones) of the Romanian novel between the two World Wars, starting from the idea that there exists a nostalgic, "retro" modernity, interested in the aesthetic rebirth of old-fashioned conventions. The aesthetic nostalgia of the "Old patriarchal Regime" before the year 1916 - phenomenon with both historical and subjective implications - dominates over the perspective of some high-ranked prose-writers from the ’20s-’40s, ranging from Mateiu Caragiale to Mihail Sadoveanu and from G. C?linescu to Mircea Eliade.PhD Constantin Dram Al. I. Cuza, University, Iasi On chivalry: a different approachAbstract A vast cultural circle closes with Robinson, one century after the adventure experienced by the Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance, in a realm of oscillating illusions. Man, as depicted by his literary effigy, reiterates the idea of divinity, the image of love, of the mythical couple, bringing into the foreground an image of exemplary singularity, which, while not excluding erotic fulfilment, stops considering it as essential or as the source of cosmic values. As the novel of the 19th century will show, from Balzac on, love becomes one of the modern man’s aspirations, alongside with glory, power, wealth, and career. This does not mean that the Platonist model is completely lost: it is always present, following different rules every time, a part of the many models which define modern existence.Keywords: chivalry, love, characters, fiction, man, order, harmony, universe, illusion, absence Andreea R?suceanu, Phd candidate, CESI, Bucharest A Few Points on Otherness and the Matter of StrangersAbstract The strangers’ view on the different places they travel to is always marked by two main features: first, subjectivity, second, imagination. It is surprising how two or even more persons can see the same places with a different eye, how they can mentally transform, to alter (and the word is not chosen at random) by means of a subtle intrinsec alchemy the given attributes of the space they are about to conquer (again, the word is not at random).MA Octavian Sarbatoare, The University of Sydney Historical Sociology vs. Historical Materialism: A Study in ModernityAbstract This paper makes a concise comparison between historical sociology and historical materialism, the former contesting the validity of social formation supported by the later. It shows that societal transformation is mainly a feature of expressing modernity rather than a purposeful revolutionary act, as historical materialism entails. The Weberian method of inquiry into the social formation proves that a systemic change is a mark of modernity as shift to new social developments. In the Marxist prediction of capitalist dismantling, modernity plays an active final role, whereas historical sociology supports the open-end social evolutionary perspective.Professor Piero Boitani, Università "La Sapienza" Roma, Italia Dante’s Ulysses between two millennia (II)Abstract In the fourteenth century, Dante launched his elderly hero on a journey which, crossing beyond the Pillars which Hercules had planted at the Straight of Gibraltar acciò che l’uom più oltre non si metta (“so that men should not pass beyond”), would continue out into the Atlantic and south to the other side of the world. After five months at sea – what Dante’s hero himself dubbed his folle volo, his “mad flight” – guided chiefly by the light of the moon and stars, Ulysses and his men come within sight of a “new land,” dominated by a high mountain, dim in the distance, which later in the Commedia is revealed as the mountain of Purgatory. From it, however, there now comes a storm which whirls the ship into a triple vortex before sinking it, infin che ’l mar fu sovra noi richiuso (“until the sea closed again over us”). Ulysses had coaxed his companions beyond Hercules’ limit by appealing to their zest for knowledge: “choose not to deny experience,” he had told them, of the new, “uninhabited world” to the West, behind the sun, di retro al sol. A perfectly noble undertaking, then, but one of which the Christian God, Dante seems to believe, took a dim view, and had already condemned while those who undertook it were still alive: he it is (whom Ulysses calls the “other,” altrui) that wills the storm on them, thereby killing Ulysses before throwing him into the hell of the fraudulent counsellors. The tragedy is more acute in being essentially Dante’s own and that of the civilization then emerging in Europe, whose people continued to push beyond the Pillars to East and West, exploring and conquering the Earth.Professor Doina Ru?ti Media University Les vêtements dans la littérature communiste (II)Abstract Clothes in communist literature (2)In this second part of the article, I have further aimed at the narrative ways by which writers introduced the few references to the uniformity of clothing. Pudency, the grotesque aspects connected to an entire imagery of intimate clothing, as well as the categories of social uniforms prove not only a concern for the connotations of the communists clothes, as an acceptance of them. Therefore the sequences that deal with clothing issues are few, accidental and without critical perspective. acasa | profil | proiecte | programe | profesori | studenti | admiterea | info | contact
