Description:Romanian Culture in the Global Age is a collection of essays edited by Rodica Mihăilă and Dana Mihăilescu, and published by Bucharest University Press in June 2010. Its aim is to investigate the dynamics of Romanian culture in the new context created by the interaction between the forces of globalization and those of post-communist transition and of post-E.U. accession. In the two decades that have passed since the collapse of communism, Romania, like all the other ex-communist countries, has been through a continuous process of redefining and reaffirming its identity as a new democracy. The contributors to the present volume attempt to provide answers to several topical questions related to the shaping of the Romanian cultural identity and the location of Romanian culture in the global world following the country’s new status as a NATO and an E.U. member: How does the local/global dialectic intrinsic to the global world affect the re-shaping of Romanian cultural identity? How do the increasingly fast flow of information and the communications revolution affect a country like Romania, whose visibility has increased rapidly since the country became a NATO and an E.U. member? How does the awareness of being one of the world’s democracies and an active participant in the world’s current debates change the way in which Romanian culture imagines and reinvents itself as it becomes increasingly freer from the mental manacles bequeathed by the communist regime? In the attempt to tackle these and other related questions, the essays included in the present volume offer a rich variety of thematic approaches, ranging from studies that open broad theoretical perspectives to case studies that emphasize original aspects of contemporary Romanian culture at the interface with today’s world. In addition, as an imaginative touch to the academic format, the volume includes in its Coda several poems about the pulse of Romania’s everyday life written by American poet Martin Woodside, a Fulbright grantee, during his stay in Romania, in 2009-2010.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
