    Upstream, the BAME Action Group and the Working Group on the History of Race and Eugenics are pleased to invite you to a book launch: Historicizing Race by Marius Turda and Maria Sophie Quine (Bloomsbury, 2018). Co-author Marius Turda will introduce the book and read a few extracts. In response Sasha Coutinho, International Relations and Business Management, and Graham van Wyk, OBI, will reflect on the contribution the book makes in understanding the idea of “race” and its implications today. The event will be chaired by Syed Imam, History. We invite you to participate in what will be a lively discussion of the idea of “race” across history, and which unfortunately, is still making history! "To be black was to confront, and to be forced to alter, a condition forged in history. To be white was to be forced to digest a delusion called white supremacy", James Baldwin, ‘Dark days’ 198

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    ANALYZE OF THE PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF THE SOIL IN THE AREA POSTA RAT / TURDA

    The most important contaminated areas from Cluj County are the uncontrolled HCH scrap deposits from Turda city, which appeared as a result of the industrial activity of the former Chemical Plant Turda. Over the years, were identified 4 locations in the area. The four contaminated locations situated in the area of Turda city Sum up to 60000 tons of HCH polluted soil are. One of these zones is the Posta Rat area (40000 m2) which is situated on the left bank of Aries River. The objective of this paper is to carry out experimental researches in order to establish the physical-chemical properties of the soil from Posta Rat area, soil contaminated with HCH (hexachlorocyclohexane). The texture, structure, humidity and pH are the main analysis performed in order to determine the optimum cleaning technologies for the deteriorated soil as a result of the activity of the Chemical Plant in Turda. The results of the physical-chemical analysis can point out the most suitable cleaning soil solution, because as a result of the study, the characteristics of the soil are known, being much easier to identify the applicability limits of the cleaning solutions

    EVALUATION OF THE ECOCLIMATIC CONDITIONS IN TURDA WINE CENTER AND ASSESSMENT OF OENOCLIMATIC APTITUDE

    Vines act as indicators in relation with ecoclimatic changes and they are particularly sensitive to temperature and precipitation changes.Temperature is a limiting factor and define the distribution area for all plants. Climate change in viticulture is characterized by air temperature increase, rain reduction, intensification of extreme events, mild winter and heat shock in summer but with frost in April-May.The main objective of this paper is to present the climatic conditions such as temperature, insolation, rainfall and the interaction of these parameters in Turda viticulture area, in the last years (2009-2019), in order to assess the oenological potential of the area. Comparing the thermal coefficient values (Ct) of our country (situated between the values 16-19), we can conclude that, in Turda area there is sufficient thermal resources for vine growth and fruition. Insolation and precipitations are in normal parameters for viticulture. The values of the real heliothermic index (IHr), hydrothermal coefficient (CH) and wine bioclimatic index (Ibcv) recorded in Turda winegrowing area (IHr=2.0; CH=1.3 and Ibcv=6.1) show that the ecoclimatic conditions from the studied area is favorable, that makes possible the production of grapes for white wines of high quality but also quality red wines, in some years

    THE CONCEIVING OF A POST-INDUSTRIAL THEMATIC LANDSCAPE: "FREE TIME FACTORY" IN TURDA

    The post-industrial landscape in Romania has left many "wounds", most of which have not been cured, but others have benefited from a new chance through reconversion. In industrial cities, such as the city of Turda in Cluj County, some former industrial parks have received a new approach by investing to integrate them into the urban landscape. This is the case of the former Beer Factory in Turda, retrofitted after the 90's to the Ratiu Foundation for Democracy. A team of landscaping and horticulture students from the U.A.S.V.M. Cluj-Napoca took over the site and proposed several landscaping options and in the period between July 2015 - June 2018 they actually implemented a small urban square, giving the city a green space materialized in a harmonious ensemble, designed on the basis of a theme that was subordinated to the memory of the profile of the former beer factory in Turda. At present, the arranged square faces a new challenge: relocation to a new emplacement
