Daniel Barbu and Anti-Communism
No full textDaniel Barbu was one of the most important post-communist political scientists in Romania. He wrote extensively about the post-communist Romanian political society,and the understanding of the communist regime. Barbu’s critique of post-communist anti-communism was accompanied by his critical evaluation of the Romanian state’s official condemnation of communism in 2006. Before becoming a historian, political scientist, and theologian, Daniel Barbu was an art historian. He graduated from the Nicolae Grigorescu National Institute of Art in Bucharest in 1980 and then worked as a museum custodian at the Village Museum, and the Museum of Art in Bucharest. This article focuses on Daniel Barbu\u27s experience as an art historian during the communist regime in Romania and highlights his anti-communist stance in two reports he wrote with Octavian Roske, and Radu Ciuceanu in 1981 and 1984. The reports documented the destruction of historical monuments under the Ceaușescu regime and were clandestinely sent to Radio Free Europe. This prompted a Securitate investigation that failed to identify the authors
Daniel Barbu, Interpreter of the French Catholic Liberals
No full textThis article aims to investigate how Daniel Barbu read the work of nineteenthcentury French authors who sought to harmonize liberal political views with religiousones: Alexis de Tocqueville, Henri Lacordaire, and Charles de Montalembert. In his last book entitled Pia libertas. Despre formele politice ale libertății creștine (Pia libertas. On the Political Forms of Christian Liberty), the French Catholic liberal movement is analyzed as a “belief made possible by freedom” (Daniel Barbu), but also in its differences compared to the “old” eighteenth century liberal thought. In the context of the relationship between faith and freedom, the three French thinkers argue that “the advent of democracy” would make the “impénitence libérale” even more necessary in front of the danger of modern despotisms. In the nineteenth century, the Christian advocacy for freedom was carried out in the name of an equal freedom and expressed the belief in a democracy that should not be transformed into an “apotheosis of the sovereign reason of the sovereign people” (Charles de Montalembert). Daniel Barbu is one of the contemporary political thinkers who sheds light on essential issues of liberal Catholic thought

Daniel Barbu Beyond Dogmatic Western-Centric and Eastern-Centric Views on Society and Politics
No full textThis article aims to summarize and explore four of the main topics addressed by Daniel Barbu in his writings over the last three decades, and, therefore, to foregroundhis contribution to the restoration of an authentic critical approach to (current) social and political processes. Always careful to avoid monocausal narratives and categoricalstatements about society and politics, Daniel Barbu sagaciously situated his reasonings and explanations beyond mainstream stereotypical intellectual discourses. Also, without explicitly referring to them, he bypassed Western-centrism and Oriental-centrism, which unfortunately often entrap influential scholars in the social and political sciences literature. The four topics discussed here to highlight Barbu’s endeavor to reaffirm the principle of axiological neutrality are: the articulation of Romanian society (and culture) at the convergence of traditional organicity and rationalizing modernization; the pitfalls of ideological constructs (such as apotheosis and demonization) in the study of the communist past; the absent res publica and the Romanian intellectual elites’ new propensity for wooden languages and civil religions; the today (post)modern European democracies, as forms of apolitical regimes, and the (plausible) future configuration of non-democratic regimes

Gallion: Infolio Editions, 2014. Il volume mostra le diverse declinazioni attraverso cui il “sapere delle religioni” si costruisce oppure entra, in momenti particolari, in crisi o partecipa a più ampi processi di ristrutturazione dell’orizzonte di senso è dunque lo scopo principale di quest’opera, che si articola in tre sezioni, ciascuna delle quali si concentra su un differente grado di riflessività dei saperi “religiosi”
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
