It considers their similarities and their common ethical stance, while also investigating the reasons for the very necessity of decolonialism as a discipline. The main purpose of the subsequent metacritic analysis (which compares Edward Said\u2019s line of inquiry with recent works by Revathi Krishnaswamy, Walter Mignolo and Sylvia Marcos) is to highlight the methodological evolution that took place especially in the field of literary criticism. Finally, the essay takes into consideration the problematic connections that are being established between European schools of thought and their indigenous counterparts, trying to find ways in which comparatism will not lead to theoretical uniformization, but rather to a set of strategies for reading peripheral literatures and for including them in academic debates on theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keywords: postcolonialism, decolonialism, deconstruction, localized theory, geopolitics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/reviste.ulbsibiu.ro\/clb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fracturist-prose-policy_Content-File-PDF-Balici-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-primary-color\">Mihnea B\u00e2lici<\/span><br><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/reviste.ulbsibiu.ro\/clb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fracturist-prose-policy_Content-File-PDF-Balici-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>POLITICA PROZEI FRACTURISTE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Politics of Fracturist Prose<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abstract: This paper is aiming to analyze the prose of the early 2000s\u2019 young authors from an ideological and political point of view. Fracturism was a literary movement with anarchist and insurgent purposes, but the nature of their values was not clarified by the local literary criticism. This thesis suggests a redefinition of the anti-systemic attitude proposed by the Fracturists. Also, another objective is to clarify the relationship of Fracturist prose to the aesthetics\u2019 domain. In this sense, inconsistencies can be observed between the anti-postmodernist obsession of \u201cThe Fracturist Manifesto\u201d and the literary works themselves. Moreover, the subcultural themes as used by the young prose writers become a means of self-promotion in the Romanian literary field from post-Communism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keywords: Fracturism, autofiction, postmodernism, post-Communism, literary field<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/reviste.ulbsibiu.ro\/clb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/faces-of-feminity-in-lucian-blaga-s-dramaturgy-de-limitations_Content-File-PDF-Fratean-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-primary-color\">Denisa-Maria Fr\u0103tean<\/span><br><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/reviste.ulbsibiu.ro\/clb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/faces-of-feminity-in-lucian-blaga-s-dramaturgy-de-limitations_Content-File-PDF-Fratean-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FA\u021aETE ALE FEMINIT\u0102\u021aII \u00ceN DRAMATURGIA BLAGIAN\u0102 \u2013 (DE)LIMIT\u0102RI<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facets of Femininity in Blaga\u2019s Dramaturgy \u2013 (De)Limitations<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abstract: The aim of this paper is to identify the way in which Blaga\u2019s feminine characters deconstruct the canon of feminity imposed at the time.

Because of its inevitable recurrence in life, we interpreted the meanings through a parallel with the motif of the road. Using different themes, motifs, symbols, figures of speech and techniques of construction, Lucian Blaga succeeds in creating an art in which the motif of&nbsp;<em>dor<\/em>&nbsp;appears as a manifestation of the heart, soul and spirit of the individual, as a desire to achieve the integrality<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>of existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keywords: dor, road, soul, aspiration, poetical sense<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/reviste.ulbsibiu.ro\/clb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/repetition-procedure-and-valences-halls-semantic-indicators-in-blagian-poetic-construction_Content-File-PDF-Farmatu-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-primary-color\">Teona Farmatu<\/span><br><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/reviste.ulbsibiu.ro\/clb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/repetition-procedure-and-valences-halls-semantic-indicators-in-blagian-poetic-construction_Content-File-PDF-Farmatu-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PROCEDEUL REPETI\u021aIEI \u0218I VALEN\u021aELE SALE \u2013 INDICATOARE SEMANTICE \u00ceN CONSTRUC\u021aIA POETIC\u0102 BLAGIAN\u0102<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Device of Repetition and Its Valences \u2013 Semantic Indicators in Blagian Poetic Construction<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abstract: By analyzing the Lucian Blaga\u2019s poetry, this paper aims to argue how the form of poems contributes significantly to the creation of meaning through the stylistic figure of repetition.

Among them, the deviations are in most cases due to the fact that in the sphere of the past, the Slovene language is operating with only one paradigm of the past sphere, the&nbsp;<em>preteklik<\/em>&nbsp;(Past tense), which is supposed to mark all the temporal and aspectual nuances of four Portuguese past tenses of the Indicative. The article tries to underline the different way of marking time and aspect in the respective languages and therefore the students\u2019 difficulties in the perception of temporal and aspectual perfect \/ imperfect conceptualization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keywords: Past tenses, European Portuguese, Slovenian, deviations, temporal and aspectual values, analysis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/reviste.ulbsibiu.ro\/clb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/a-discourse-analysis-of-the-two-testaments-of-maria-cantemir-and-a-unpublished-testamental-model-from-the-end-of-the-eighteenth-century_Content-File-PDF-Mutalap-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-primary-color\">Daniar Mutal\u00e2p<\/span><br><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/reviste.ulbsibiu.ro\/clb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/a-discourse-analysis-of-the-two-testaments-of-maria-cantemir-and-a-unpublished-testamental-model-from-the-end-of-the-eighteenth-century_Content-File-PDF-Mutalap-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>O ANALIZ\u0102 DISCURSIV\u0102 ASUPRA CELOR DOU\u0102 DIATE ALE MARIEI CANTEMIR \u0218I A UNUI MODEL TESTAMENTAR INEDIT DE LA SF\u00c2R\u0218ITUL SECOLULUI AL XVIII-LEA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Discursive Analysis of the Two Letters of Maria Cantemir and an Unpublished Testamentary Model from the Late 18th Century<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abstract: The present paper endeavours to offer a brief analysis of two wills written by the princess Maria Cantemir (1700-1757) during 1725 and 1757. Using discoursive concepts such as \u201cscene of enunciation\u201d, \u201cdiscursive scenes\u201d and \u201cdiscursive ethos\u201d, followed by stylistics devices, our attempt aimed to capture the process of (re)constructing the self. Thus, comparing the two wills with an unedited testamentary letter sample (Romanian manuscript no. 2120 from Romanian Academy Library Bucharest) and to the process of writing and rewriting, our approach delineates how in articulo mortis Maria Cantemir (re)presents herself as \u201esister princess Maria Cantemirova\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keywords: testamentary letter, wills, Maria Cantemir, scene of enunciation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/reviste.ulbsibiu.ro\/clb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/values-of-re-duplication-postumanist-configurations-in-philip-k-dick-and-ian-mcewan_Content-File-PDF-Tache-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-primary-color\">Lavinia Tache<\/span><br><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/reviste.ulbsibiu.ro\/clb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/values-of-re-duplication-postumanist-configurations-in-philip-k-dick-and-ian-mcewan_Content-File-PDF-Tache-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>VALEN\u021aELE (RE)DUPLIC\u0102RII.

Following the posthumanist theories, this paper focuses mainly on the literary manifestations that envisage the many-sided topic about the human identity\u2019s surcease, namely&nbsp;<em>Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>Machines Like Me<\/em>. In both cases, the central function of restructuring reality through the symbol of technological alterity is emphasized; the simulacrum comes within the purview of building versions for a universe where creation does not lead to progress, but, to a certain extent, to destruction and the entanglement of human conciousness. This fact implies that the fictional robots have to be interpreted as an integrant part of a system that ecompasses the lost sense of self. Essential for understanding the cited narratives is the questioning of the Cartesian belief that animals do represent a mechanical behaviour. I argue that the reconstruction of a techological identity bears a double scheme of approaching empathy and identity and accordingly the existence is to be interposed within new frames of thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keywords: posthumanism, duplication, robophilosophy, uchronia, science fiction<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/reviste.ulbsibiu.ro\/clb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/literary-geography-and-cultural-translation_Content-File-PDF-Burdusel-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-primary-color\">Eva-Nicoleta Burdu\u0219el<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/reviste.ulbsibiu.ro\/clb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/literary-geography-and-cultural-translation_Content-File-PDF-Burdusel-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/reviste.ulbsibiu.ro\/clb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/lexical-creativity-a-spectacular-phenomenon-in-romanian-television-and-online-journalism_Content-File-PDF-Sporis-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-primary-color\">Valerica Spori\u0219<\/span><br><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/reviste.ulbsibiu.ro\/clb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/lexical-creativity-a-spectacular-phenomenon-in-romanian-television-and-online-journalism_Content-File-PDF-Sporis-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CREATIVITATEA LEXICAL\u0102 &#8211; UN FENOMEN SPECTACULOS \u00ceN JURNALISMUL DE TELEVIZIUNE \u0218I ON-LINE DIN ROM\u00c2NIA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lexical Creativity \u2013 A Salient Phenomenon in Current Romanian TV and Online Journalism<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abstract: The article aims to examine an aspect pertaining to lexical neology, i.e. the lexical creativity as reflected in recent TV and online journalism. Lexical creativity articulates interdisciplinarity, the latter represents a \u201bbridge\u201b between the facts of language and those of style. Newly words are created by journalists to serve different purposes ranging from ludic, spontaneous, occasional to deliberate, conscious. Lexical creativity is influenced by different factors such as: analogy, imitation, calque, subjectivity, sensitiveness, context, etc. The language of the media is characterized by dynamics, novelty and accessibility. Through their novelty, words contribute to an enrichment of expressiveness. The newly coined structures are often artificial, the examples analysed in our paper are created by small groups of journalists or by one journalist. The journalists\u2019 intention is to impress, to draw the audience\u2019s attention. I chose to explore the phenomenon of affixation and I selected as lexical bases some neologisms recently borrowed into Romanian from other languages. The corpus comprises recent examples selected by the author from Romanian TV and online journalism, where the phenomenon of lexical creativity is highly displayed. I chose the transcription of new words in accordance with the phonetic-phonological principle specific to the Romanian language and with the current rules pertaining to plurals forms and use of articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keywords: interdisciplinarity, expressiveness, creativity, affixation, journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/reviste.ulbsibiu.ro\/clb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/the-only-thing-capable-of-capturing-a-glimmer-of-eternity-is-art-forestiera-feltrinelli-by-joachim-wittstock-translated-by-maria-sass_Content-File-PDF-Ciocoi-Pop-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-primary-color\">Ana-Blanca Ciocoi-Pop<\/span><br><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/reviste.ulbsibiu.ro\/clb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/the-only-thing-capable-of-capturing-a-glimmer-of-eternity-is-art-forestiera-feltrinelli-by-joachim-wittstock-translated-by-maria-sass_Content-File-PDF-Ciocoi-Pop-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cUNICUL LUCRU CAPABIL S\u0102 SURPRIND\u0102 UN CR\u00c2MPEI DE VE\u0218NICIE, ESTE ARTA\u201d&nbsp;<em>FORESTIERA FELTRINELLI<\/em>, DE JOACHIM WITTSTOCK, TRADUCERE DE MARIA SASS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Only Thing Capable of Capturing a Fragment of Eternity Is Art\u201d:&nbsp;<em>Forestiera Feltrinelli<\/em>&nbsp;by Joachim Wittstock, translated by Maria Sass<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abstract: Joachim Wittstock\u2019s novella&nbsp;<em>Forestiera Feltrinelli<\/em>, translated into Romanian by Maria Sass, appeared under the aegis of the Honterus publishing house in Sibiu, in 2019. Combining present-day economic realities, with a parallelism of temporal planes, and the antonimy between the mythical past and the disillusioning present, Wittstock manages to interweave in his most recent volume social and historical analyses, love stories and subtle eroticism, existentialist concerns and political dimensions. The volume can be regarded as an important contribution to a better relationing of the Romanian readership with German literature in Romania, and to a better understanding of the complex thematic and narrative mechanisms in Joachim Wittstock\u2019s works. A fascinating page of the history of Sibiu, of the Romanian Saxons, and of the author\u2019s biography, the volume is a succesful and innovative attempt in the landscape of contemporary Romanian and European literature, and its Romanian translation a welcome and necessary initiative in view of a multicultural understanding of the literatures of ethnic minorities in Romania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keywords:&nbsp;<em>Forestiera Feltrinelli<\/em>, Joachim Wittstock, Maria Sass, literary translation, German literature in Romania, Romanian Saxons, documentary literature, Sibiu<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/reviste.ulbsibiu.ro\/clb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/critical-grammar-or-grammar-criticism_Content-File-PDF-Sporis-2-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-primary-color\">Valerica Spori\u0219<\/span><br><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/reviste.ulbsibiu.ro\/clb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/critical-grammar-or-grammar-criticism_Content-File-PDF-Sporis-2-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GRAMATICA CRITIC\u0102 SAU CRITICA GRAMATICII?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Critical Grammar or the Grammar of Critics?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abstract:&nbsp;<em>Gramatica critic\u0103 a limbii rom\u00e2ne<\/em>&nbsp;(The Critical Grammar of the Romanian Language), authored by \u0218tefan G\u0103it\u0103naru, was published in 2018, at the University of Pite\u0219ti Publishing House.

The purpose of the book, mentioned by the author in the \u201cPreface,\u201d is to update the grammar research, emphasizing the normative aspect. Thus, we witness a descriptive-normative grammar, with a classical structure: part I \u2013 Morphology and part II \u2013 Syntax, each section comprising the description, analysis and interpretation of specific components. This Critical Grammar brings to the surface controversial aspects regarding the grammatical structure of the Romanian language, with pertinent observations and recommendations, with solid arguments, for or against, from case to case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keywords: The Critical Grammar, Romanian Language, normative aspect<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DECOLONIALISM &amp; ANGOAS\u0102 MORAL\u0102: ADOLESCEN\u021aA TURBULENT\u0102 A DECONSTRUC\u021aIEI POSTCOLONIALE Decolonialism &amp; Moral Anguish: The Turbulent Adolescence of Postcolonial Deconstruction Abstract: This paper looks at the relationship between post and decolonialism, two critical movements rooted in political theory and literary studies alike.
