Discursive mechanisms to Eugène Ionesco
No full textUn mécanisme fait référence à un ensemble de différents composants qui fonctionnent ensemble en harmonie. Le terme « discursif » dans le titre de notre thèse est lié à l'implication d'un examen approfondi de chaque composante subsidiaire individuelle du langage et de la manière dont elle contribue à la construction de l'analyse discursive. Cela inclut l'observation des actes de langage et l'analyse de la manière dont ils se conforment ou s'écartent des normes sociétales. On pourrait soutenir que la recherche linguistique fonctionne selon un ensemble de principes théoriques qui permettent d'analyser la capacité d'organisation de l'humanité. Cette thèse a été réalisée comme l'aboutissement d'un projet visant à identifier les différents mécanismes et techniques discursifs employés dans les œuvres d'Eugène IONESCO. En utilisant les théories, les techniques d'analyse du discours et les mécanismes discursifs d’Eugène IONESCO, notre recherche s'aligne sur les théories concernant l'Imaginaire Linguistique développées principalement dans les études des linguistes Anne-Marie HOUDEBINE et Sanda-Maria ARDELEANU. Notre thèse se concentre sur la nature dynamique du théâtre ionescien, en mettant en lumière les techniques et stratégies innovantes employées par Eugène IONESCO qui ont révolutionné le monde du théâtre en bouleversant les normes établies et en créant un nouveau paradigme. À travers notre exploration du discours de Ionesco, nous visons à plonger dans les profondeurs de ses prouesses linguistiques et imaginatives, en retraçant le fil conducteur qui lie ses œuvres entre elles. Nous avons choisi d'aborder un sujet plutôt complexe parce que nous avons réalisé que malgré diverses études menées sur les œuvres de Ionesco, une exploration de son Imaginaire linguistique roumain n'a pas encore été entreprise. Il est à noter que Ionesco est une figure remarquable et éminente du théâtre de l'absurde. L'analyse du discours et la sémiotique constituent deux aspects essentiels de notre thèse et des outils de recherche capitaux. En analysant le discours typique du théâtre, inévitablement façonné par les contraintes de la recherche, et en le comparant au discours unique d’Eugène IONESCO, il devient pertinent de l'examiner à travers le prisme des composantes multiformes de l'Imaginaire linguistique. La prémisse de notre recherche est ancrée dans l'idée que l'étude des caractéristiques sociolinguistiques nous permet de définir les subtilités et les nuances de l'espace partagé où la conscience individuelle et sociale se croisent avec le cadre et les impacts distinctifs de la conscience linguistique. Ainsi, l'examen de l’œuvre d’Eugène IONESCO, qui mêle les cultures roumaine et française, permet d'identifier deux d'imaginaires linguistiques entrelacés. Notre particularité et notre originalité sont enracinées dans notre méthode de mise en œuvre de diverses théories, ainsi que dans notre effort de construire notre propre théorie sur les mécanismes discursifs présents dans le langage textuel diachronique.A mechanism refers to a set of different components that work together in harmony. The term "discursive" in the title of our thesis is linked to the implication of an in-depth examination of each individual subsidiary component of language and how it contributes to the construction of discursive analysis. This includes observing speech acts and analyzing how they conform to or deviate from societal norms. It could be argued that linguistic research operates according to a set of theoretical principles that allow us to analyze humanity's capacity for organization. This thesis was carried out as the culmination of a project aimed at identifying the different discursive mechanisms and techniques used in the works of Eugène IONESCO. Using the theories, discourse analysis techniques and discursive mechanisms of Eugen IONESCO, our research aligns with theories concerning the Linguistic Imaginary developed mainly in the studies of linguists Anne-Marie HOUDEBINE and Sanda-Maria ARDELEANU. Our thesis focuses on the dynamic nature of Ionescian theater, highlighting the innovative techniques and strategies employed by Eugen IONESCO that revolutionized the world of theater by disrupting established norms and creating a new paradigm. Through our exploration of Ionesco's speech, we aim to delve into the depths of his linguistic and imaginative prowess, tracing the common thread that links his works together. We chose to approach a rather complex subject because we realized that despite various studies carried out on the works of Ionesco, an exploration of his linguistic Imagination of Romanian origin has not yet been undertaken. It should be noted that Ionesco is a remarkable and eminent figure in the theater of the absurd. Discourse analysis and semiotics constitute two essential aspects of our thesis and key research tools. By analyzing the typical discourse of theater, inevitably shaped by the constraints of research, and comparing it to the unique discourse of Eugen IONESCO, it becomes relevant to examine it through the prism of the multiform components of the linguistic Imaginary. The premise of our research is rooted in the idea that the study of sociolinguistic characteristics allows us to define the subtleties and nuances of the shared space where individual and social consciousness intersect with the distinctive framework and impacts of consciousness linguistic. Thus, the examination of the work of Eugen IONESCO, which mixes Romanian and French cultures, makes it possible to identify two intertwined linguistic imaginarys. Our particularity and originality are rooted in our method of implementing various theories, as well as in our effort to construct our own theory on the discursive mechanisms present in diachronic textual language
Theater Criticism in Search of Lost Identity. Stories of Professionalization. Miruna Runcan, “Teatrul în diorame. Discursul criticii teatrale în comunism. Fluctuantul dezgheț 1956-1964 [Theater in dioramas. The discourse of theater criticism in the communist era. The fluctuant thaw 1956-1964]” (București: Tracus Arte, 2019)
No full textMiruna Runcan\u27s book, Teatrul în diorame. Discursul criticii teatrale în comunism, subtitled Fluctuantul dezgheț 1956-1964, joins the recent attempts to explore, from a rhetorical and ideological perspective, the discourses of Romanian criticism that coagulated during the communist decades. What distinguishes this volume, however, from similar endeavors, most focused on literary criticism, is precisely its focus on theatrical criticism, in the wake of an older preoccupation of the author both with regard to the particularities of the critical phenomenon in the performing arts in our country (materialized in the volume Critica de teatru: încotro?), as well as facing the evolution of the theater during the communist period (see Teatralizare și reteatralizare în România)

“Teatrul” Journal, between Norms and Emancipation. The Years of the “Thaw” and Those of the New “Freeze”
No full textTeatrul Journal, dedicated to both professionals, and devoted spectators, appeared in 1956 following the so-called “thaw”, which took place in the part of Europe controlled by the Soviet regime after Nikita Khrushchev’s secret report at the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. As we know, this “secret report” highlighted the horrors which took place during the decades dominated by Stalin, incriminated his “cult of personality”, and promised a certain openness in the fields of science, culture and arts towards communicating with the West, as well as loosening the chains of censorship. This phenomenon was felt, in a more or less discrete way, at all levels of the Romanian society; and for the theatre domain, the sign of this change of politics was the launch of the Teatrul journal, under the patronage of the writer, playwright and aesthetician Camil Petrescu[1]. This paper (which is part of a wider research dedicated to theatre criticism discourses in the communist period) looks at the relation between party orders and the editorial policy taken on by or imposed on the journal from its birth (April 1956) to the new „freeze” wave (1958-1960).
[1]. Camil Petrescu (1894-1957) was a novelist, literary theory author and playwright. He was the Manager of the National Theatre of Bucharest between 1938-1939 and a member of Romanian Academy form 1947

No full textSINDROMUL MÜNCHAUSEN PRIN TRANSFER – O PROBLEMĂ REALĂ PEDIATRICĂ?
No full textSindromul Münchausen (SM) şi Münchausen prin transfer (SMPT) aparţin afecţiunilor numite „Factitious disorder şi reprezintă tulburări mentale severe care au ca „scop“ situaţia de a deveni pacient respectiv de a „fabrica“ o boală unei alte persoane, afl ată în îngrijire, solicitând sau necesitând intervenţie medicală pentru aceasta.
Sindromul Münchausen prin transfer nu este rar, dar este difi cil de recunoscut şi de confi rmat, este o formă de
abuz, în special asupra copilului, potenţial letală, frecvent neînţeleasă şi nedepistată. Metodele folosite de
adulţii falsifi catori pentru a induce o afecţiune falsă copilului sunt variate: otrăvire, rănire, producerea de sângerări, infectare.
Acuzele expuse de mamă ca aparţinând copilului nu au drept scop obţinerea de avantaje personale, ci sunt
ali mentate de dorinţa mamelor de a le fi acordat rolul de „erou“ şi de a fi recunoscute ca fi ind persoanele ce
acordă cea mai mare grijă copilului lor.
Diagnosticul trebuie să includă evaluarea copilului, a părinţilor şi a familiei, unele elemente fi ind sugestive: copil cu multiple probleme de sănătate, care nu răspunde la tratament sau reapar sub terapie adecvată, cu investigaţii paraclinice discrepante şi semne şi simptome ce dispar în absenţa părintelui.
Afecţiunea falsă a copilului, descrisă intenţionat denaturat de către adult, nu-l afectează negativ pe acesta, dar
procesul medical de diagnostic şi tratament poate produce durere şi disconfort. Aspectele etice şi legale
asociate SMPT implică şi personalul medical, prin consecinţele actului medical asupra copilului, ca urmare a falsificării realităţii de către părinte.
Educaţia pacientului, familiei şi personalului medical reprezintă o etapă foarte importantă în recunoaşterea,
prevenirea şi tratamentul SMPT
MUNCHAUSEN SYNDROME BY PROXY – A REAL PEDIATRIC PROBLEM?
No full textMunchausen syndrome and Munchausen by proxy syndrome belong belong to a group of disease called “factitious disorder” and are severe mental disorders having the “end” position for a healthy person to become patient, respectevely to “create” a disease to another person, asking or requiring medical intervention for him/her.
Munchausen syndrome by proxy is rare, but it is diffi cult to be recognized and confi rmed, is a form of abuse,
particularly against children, potentially lethal, often misunderstood. Many methods are used by adults counterfeiters to induce a false child’s condition: poisoning, injury, producing bleeding, infection.
Complaints exposed by the mothers as belonging to the child are not for a personal benefi t, but are justifi ed by
a desire to be a “hero” mothers and to play the role of the people most attached and thoughtful of their child.
Diagnosis should include evaluation of the child, parents and family and is based on suggestive elements: child
with multiple health problems that do not respond to treatment or recur under proper therapy, laboratory investigations discrepancies, child’s signs and symptoms disappear in the absence of the parent.
The false disease of the child, intentionally distorted described by adult, do not realy affect him/her, but the diagnostic process and medical treatment can cause pain and discomfort. Ethical and legal issues associated
with MSBP involves healthcare professionals by the medical consequences on the child as a result of false
complains described by the parent.
Education of patient, family and medical personnel is a very important step in the recognition, prevention and
treatment of MSBP
Stigma and counter-stigma in contemporary society
No full textThe paper outlines "counter-stigma" as a new characterizing element in contemporary society. The author has defined conflictual counter-stigma what is paradoxical stigmatization of stigma, a negative social reaction to stigmatization of certain categories traditionally perceived and labelled as deviant. The most interesting aspect of this phenomenon is the coexistence of stigma attached to its usual modern society attributes -physical traits, faith, sexual orientation etcetera- and the stigmatization of stigmatizers as such on the other hand. Social change from deviance to conformity, that is the shift from negative moral judgement, harsh disapproval of behaviour or quality to social tolerance and finally, acceptance, doesn't pass as in the past through mere socio-educational de-construction of stigma and discrimination or protest by social movements claiming rights and positive identities acknowledgement. According to the author, the social transformation of deviance nowadays is highly conflictual due to extreme social differentiation derived from values fragmentation. A “stigma contest” as well as even a “labelling war” emerge rather than a behaviour progressive shift from deviance to conformity. There are attacks directed to specific individuals e.g., homophobic ones aimed to stigmatize them according to a social exclusion process exactly as attacks, stigma, and social exclusion of LGTB persons. Homophobia is stigmatized exactly as homosexuality and interestingly stigma is directed to behaviour because is a negative reaction to another behaviour perceived as deviant. Same Durkheim’s function of deviance as reinforcement of social moral cohesion is definitively challenged and disputed
Offering and Asking for Help with Domestic Chores in Couple Relationships
No full textDomestic chores are a topic of great interest for couple relationships since they are a source of conflict between intimate partners. The purpose of the present research is to investigate offering and asking for help with domestic chores and the respondents’ tendency to be intuitive or verbal or to do chores alone. A vignette applied to children and married adults. The respondents were 116 boys and 116 girls and 110 male partners and 300 female partners, who completed individual questionnaires, online using Google Forms, regarding helping behaviour. Research findings indicate that men are more verbal and women are more intuitive when offering help, but when asking for help with domestic chores, men and women are statistically similar. The present research raises questions about the role of gender differences in couple relationships, and about educational solutions for couples and provides opportunities for future research
Competitive Electrochemical Apta-Assay Based on cDNA–Ferrocene and MXenes for Staphylococcus aureus Surface Protein A Detection
No full textStaphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) represents one of the most frequent worldwide causes of morbidity and mortality due to an infectious agent. It is a part of the infamous ESKAPE group, which is highly connected with increased rates of healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial resistance. S. aureus can cause a large variety of diseases. Protein A (PrA) is a cell-wall-anchored protein of S. aureus with multiple key roles in colonization and pathogenesis and can be considered as a marker of S. aureus. The development of aptasensors, having an aptamer as a specific biorecognition element, increases selectivity, especially when working with complex matrices. The association with state-of-the-art materials, such as MXenes, can further improve the analytical performance. A competitive aptasensor configuration based on a ferrocene (Fc)-labeled cDNA hybridized (cDNA-Fc S13) on a specific aptamer (APT) for PrA in the presence of MXene nanosheets was designed for the indirect detection of S. aureus. The aptasensor displayed a linear range of 10–125 nM, an LOD of 3.33 nM, and a response time under 40 min. This configuration has been tested in real samples from volunteers diagnosed with S. aureus infections with satisfactory results, enabling the perspective to develop decentralized devices for the rapid detection of bacterial strains
