Time, Self and Style in Virginia Woolfs “Orlando. A Biography”
No full textThe paper is an attempt to show Virginia Woolfs ‘struggle’ to make ordinary (life, be- ing and language) become extraordinary. Orlando. A Biography, a text begun sometime in early October (8th) 1927 “as a joke” and finished on the 17th of March, “as the clock struck one” (A WD: 160-161), 1928, may be considered as the prematurely bom child of a mmt/endowed with ‘one rare gift’: that of seeking. It is the seeking of the Word which constitutes the backbone of this ‘joke’. And yet, behind laughter and light-heartedness, there is a serious desire to discover “the most necessary thing to me [Woolf]” (A WD: 169): the ‘reality’ of the creative self through time.Thus, the Orlando-biography invites the reader to decode it as an autobiography, which, finally, proves to be a recording of a spiritua! joumey to attain freedom, stylistical- ly achieved through a gamę of positings and modes of reading and writing. In order to show the process of shaping the creative self in Orlando, we have used some strategies offered by approaches such as:a. phenomenological (offering insights into moods, States of consciousness and the methods used “to investigate” “second selves” (AWD, 1925)- “... opened and intensified as it (the mind) is by the heat of creation” and “to expose” one’s mind, body and self “to the blasts of the outer world” (pp.cit., 1935);b. pragmatic (helping the reader to see how “... the words” can be madę “to glue toget- her, fuse and glow” (AWD, 1924) and how “sentences form and curve under my fingers” (pp.cit., 1935) in order to “convey the true reality” (pp.cit., 1923) to somebody;c. and semiotic (unfolding Woolfs gamę of minimalising or expanding some me- anings, in and through time, which makes out of the word in Woolfs text a dynamie sign).The three approaches will help the reader to see the Woolfian text as a sign-wi- thin-a-sign-within-a-sign. The ‘Orlando-joke’ finally proves to be a complex gamę of po- siting the (creative) self in a temporal abyme, hauteur and surface (Cmeciu 1999), which is unfolded through a metaphoric and metonymic modę (Lodge 1989).

Do not simply call them alphabet books
No full textThe paper deals with alphabet books, referring especially to the complexity of modes of signification in such discourses. "Lyrics Pathetic and Humorous, from A to Z", an alphabet book written and illustrated by Edmund Dulac in 1908, offers the addresses (bearing in mind Roman Jakobson's model of communication) the possibility of observing, analysing and interpreting diachronic differences and of valuing synchronic artistic productions
‘Debating Europe’ Platform – A Means of Crafting Online Representations of a European Identity
No full textAbstractThe democratic and symbolic deficit the European Union has been associated with has become dominant since European citizens consider themselves excluded from the process of European construction. Debating Europe platform is an online strategy of mobilizing and of getting citizens involved in dialogues with European politicians, experts and other EU citizens. This e-platform has been used especially during the European Year of Citizens (2013). We intend to provide an insight into the network of communication between European politicians, experts and EU citizens debating on the European identity. Our analysis will highlight the most visible EU citizens involved in the online dialogue and the most relevant frames and issues associated with the European identity
Web 2.0 Communication and Stakeholder Engagement Strategies: How Romanian Public Organizations Use Facebook
No full textAbstractWithin the context of e-participation and involvement provided by social media tools, public organizations should provide a dialogic approach to their relationship with their publics. Having more touchstones with their publics and less control over their message, public organizations should improve their strategies of communicating with citizens. Through a content analysis of three Romanian public organizations’ activity on Facebook, this study will examine how this social networking site is used to inform, connect, involve, mobilize and interact with Romanian citizens. The results highlighted that mobilizing, informing and interacting were the most used strategies and that Romanian citizens’ involvement implied mere actions of liking, sharing and commenting the visual and verbal posts
Discursul european: sintagme şi paradigme
Get PDFThe paper is an attempt to interpret some of the most frequently used paradigms and syntagms belonging to the European discourse since Romania joined the European Union against the background of cultural postmodernism. The process of communication, that is of encoding and decoding messages, circumscribes, on the one hand, a type of two-way journey (from European authoritative institutions to a local individual and from the latter back to European heights) and, on the other hand, the awareness of a double citizenship mentality (both Romanian and European)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
