Silvia Mustaţă, The Roman Metal Vessels from Dacia Porolissensis. Patrimonium Archaeologicum Transylvanicum 12. Mega Publishing House, Cluj-Napoca 2017. ISBN 978-606-543-843-9. 374 pages with 26 figures, four graphs, and 106 plates.
No full textInternational audienceSilvia Mustaţă's book is the publication of her doctoral research on metal vessels from the Roman province of Dacia Porolissensis, carried out at the University Babeș Bolyai (UBB) of Cluj-Napoca (RO), under the supervision of Nicolae Gudae. The publication is clearly structured and elegantly laid out. The writing is clear, and the effort involved in translating this thesis, originally written in Romanian, into English is commendable, making it accessible to a wider audience. Mustaţă shows a perfect mastery of her subject and, in addition to the present work, she has published as the coauthor or principal author of several articles dealing with the metallic vessels of Roman Dacia (e. g. S. Mustaţă, The Roman anthropomorphic bronze vessel from Strâmba (Turceni, Gorj county). Typological, functional and chronological aspects. Oltenia 17, 2010, 51-56; S. Mustaţă, Roman bronze appliqués with half-pierced loop. Semi-finished or final products? Ephemeris Napocensis 20, 2010, 191-204 ; S. Mustaţă, Remarks on the use and misuse of latin terms in the study of Roman bronze vessels. In: C. Cosma (ed.), Studii de arheologie și istorie. Omagiu profesorului Nicolae Gudea la 70 de ani.

Symmetry of Syzygies of a System of Functional Equations Defining a Ring Homomorphism
No full textI deal with an alienation problem for the system of two fundamental Cauchy functional equations with an unknown function f mapping a ring X into an integral domain Y and preserving binary operations of addition and multiplication, respectively. The resulting syzygies obtained by adding (resp. multiplying) these two equations side by side are discussed. The first of these two syzygies was first examined by Jean Dhombres in 1988 who proved that under some additional conditions concering the domain and range rings it forces f to be a ring homomorphism (alienation phenomenon). The novelty of the present paper is to look for sufficient conditions upon f solving the other syzygy to be alien
”ger du mig lov att skriva en roman om dig?” Elin Wägners Genomskådad – Hemlighetsfull och den kvinnliga bildningsromanen
No full textPeter Forsgren, Departement of Film and Literature, Linnaeus University “do you give me permission to write a novel about you?”: Elin Wägner’s Unmasked – Secretive and the women writers’ Bildungsroman (“ger du mig lov att skriva en roman om dig?” Elin Wägners Genomskådad – Hemlighetsfull och den kvinnliga bildningsromanen) This article analyzes Elin Wägner’s autobiographical twin novel Genomskådad—Hemlighetsfull (Unmasked—Secretive), published 1937–38, by placing it in the tradition of women writers’ Bildungsroman. The aim of the author was to describe her own development as a feminist from the early 20th century to the 1930’s and at the same time the history of women liberation movement during the same period. In contrast to the traditional Bildungsroman and the ideal of harmony between the hero and the society in the end, the women writers’ Bildungsroman explores the injustices of the patriarchal society and at the same time the need for a new kind of society that brings women freedom and possibilities to develop themselves, something that gives these novels utopian qualities. As the analysis shows, the character Ethel bears many similarities with the young Elin Wägner, while the main character and narrator, Agnes, who is radicalized by World War I, step by step develops a feminism that the author embraced by the time the twin novel was written. This was a feminism inspired by ideas of matriarchy which underlined the importance of peace, not only between nations but also between man and nature. A third part of this autobiographical Bildungsroman was planned, but instead Elin Wägner wrote Väckarklocka (Alarm Clock), published 1941. This book became the author’s testament and in it she discusses the three main themes in her authorship: women, peace and the environment. In Väckarklocka Elin Wägner speaks with a strong personal voice in the manner defined by Susan Snaider Lanser, and the twin novel can be read as a story about how this voice was developed and why
