ABSTRACT: This article presents a theory of
communication for media and a related model that aim at explaining how
communication is a process comprising various areas of human existence, while
its manifestation in the voice is a concrete performance with a pertaining
power. In Aristotle we find a scholar who described with the logos a
faculty present in the human mind and speech, but his writings allow to
reconstruct a more comprehensive perspective on the voice with the distinction
between the modes of speaking and saying. In order to show this communication
process we employ the concepts of mediation, enmediation, and remediation and
the modes of speaking and saying in the Aristotelian tradition, we develop our
model of a voice-centered theory of communication for media that comprises the
for the voice permeable intrapersonal, interpersonal, and extrapersonal areas
of communication.
KEYWORDS: Voice; Logic; Mind; Speech;

TITLE: "The thought of the Middle Age in the
hagiographical texts"
ABSTRACT: Reading a medieval text is
immersing yourself in another way of thinking, another way of looking at
reality, and everything obviously finds its explanation in religion and,
implicitly, in theology. The hagiographical texts of French literature from the
Middle Ages (and more precisely, the Sequence of Saint Eulalia and also Life of
Saint Alexis), starting from this constant, present two postulates of thought
in the Middle Age: on the one hand, the dichotomous relationship between inner
and inner beauty (that is, between body and soul) and, on the other hand, the
antithesis between faith and philosophy. The first texts of French literature
in the Middle Ages, in this sense, come from the biblical and patristic
tradition. However, we should not
consider this imprint on the literary sphere as a stigma or as a deficiency,
but, on the contrary, as a specific way looking at the world, as an emblem of
the beginning of modern culture. Thus, we will focus in the following lines on
the role that these texts had and on the thinking that reflects from them. And
at the same time, we hope to demonstrate, in one way or another, the fact that
the Middle Age cannot be categorized only as an age of darkness; this period
is, as Jean Verdon notes, between shadows and lights.
KEYWORDS: Middle Age;

TITLE: "Strategies of Sense Articulation in The
Hieroglyphic History"
ABSTRACT: In this article, the
authors conduct a linguistic analysis, tracing the progression of meaning,
including aspects of symbolism in Dimitrie Cantemir's fable novel The Hieroglyphical
History. Regarded by most critics as the masterpiece of Moldavian prince's
literary art, it incorporates elements of the fable within a broad epic
structure, which can be compared to a stratified labyrinthine novelesque
edifice, being enhanced as a political satire of the era. Given the complexity
of the analyzed writing, our aim is to partially decipher the levels of
meaning, namely the puzzling, historiographic, allegorical-symbolic, and
effective literary cores, all unified into a perfect articulate synthesis. The
methodology of research implies text analysis within the integral text
linguistics conceptual frame, namely identifying elements of the sense creation
and evocative functions by virtue of which the novel is structured.
KEYWORDS:
Dimitrie
Cantemir; sense; allegory; symbol; wordplay; fable; political satire.

ABSTRACT: Social
moral obligation, its automatism and false faces, declarative and regulatory
laws, the individual and social ego, collective solidarity and the pulsation of
creative emotion, intelligent and instinctual society, open and closed social
dynamics, Divinity as a transcendent religious reference point and Reason as
the limit of moral-philosophical endeavors - all these concepts and themes are
just a few of the major subjects that crystallize Bergsonian vitalism's
conception, a conception that cannot be identified with religious forms of
metaphysical approach but clearly approaches the scenario of thought and
experience proposed by these forms. This text attempts to capture such a
similarity and dialectical interplay between the concepts evoked above.
KEYWORDS: social moral obligation; intelligent-open society; instinctual-closed
society; moral man; conservative collective ethics.

TITLE : "The
last Foucault"
ABSTRACT:
The present article proposes to highlight the valences of
the last Foucault, engaging him with
a punctual and punctuated approach found in/through an accumulation of
immediate arguments – from the last interview, to the last
Foucault, as equivalent to the last
man (Fukuyama) or to the reading (by overlapping) of the last Foucault and the last words of Socrates (from Foucault's
lecture, February 15, 1984). The last
[Foucault] is
endowed – here – by/with a plus meaning: last
approaches the act of being the last,
but it also retains what remained decisive and definitive, launching, as a
creative-decisive formula, the act and the temptation of thinking, by clearly
redefining the object of thought. The
last Foucault does not have a synonymous meaning, nor can it integrate in
the series of possible finite-final extensions (with notes of differentiation
in relation to the final Foucault or
to the appellative of late Foucault).
Last remains – here – an open research phase/stage, started
in the early 1980s, as new experiments/experiences felt both at the external
level of sociability, but also through the attempt of self-transformation, both
part of a genealogical project applied to themes, practices and modes of
governance of the self and the others.
KEYWORDS: The Last Foucault;
the Final Foucault; the February 15, 1984
lecture; a biographical-testamentary act; death.

TITLE: "Against Utopia"
ABSTRACT: The strong belief into the possibility of a
comprehensive harmony lies at the core of the European political thought. A
Great Harmony, a perfectly planned world in order to achieve equality,
uniformity and control was for centuries the goal of many rationalists. With
this purpose in mind, they worked for achieving the final stage of human
society, no matter the cost. The underlying assumption is that human nature is
immutable, permanent in its essence, everywhere and every time one could look
at. Despite historical, cyclical defeats of his practical application, the
utopia is always ready to start again, with better tools and more eager to plan
the ultimate happiness. This is the challenge of our times, facing the immortal
utopia in its effort to impose the final harmony, equality and peace. This
time, the idealist planners hope that new tools as powerful computers, digital
identity, surveillance cameras and digital currency will make the difference.
KEYWORDS: utopia; totalitarianism; political philosophy;
democracy; Isaiah Berlin.

TITLE: "Adaptation of reception in computer-mediated communications on X (Twitter)"
ABSTRACT: This article provides, first, a description then an analysis of the overall framework of a communication situation on X/Twitter. By opting for an analysis according to the model of seetings of Brown and Fraser, we identify the contours of the notion of reception as a component of the more developed diagram of communication. Apart from the particularities marking computer-mediated communications, the analysis we carried out allows us to dissect the context and reveals how reception must be adapted to interaction on Twitter.

TITLE:"Obtaining Valuable Information in the Communication
Process"
ABSTRACT: Effective communication about important events in the public sphere can
only be achieved if journalists or public relations specialists seek and
collect the necessary information needed to produce appropriate communication
products. The purpose of this study is to present several ways of working in
the complex process of finding the significant elements required in order to
achieve specific communication contents. The characteristics of quality
information, as well as the requirements to be met by communication
specialists, seen as active and insistent professionals, are established.
KEYWORDS: sources of information, newsgathering, journalism, public relations,
observation, interview.

TITLE: "The Issue of Limited Audience in Art
Museums in Romania"
ABSTRACT: Museums in Romania face a limited number
of visitors, which, although increasing in recent years, still remains small in
relation to the frequency of cultural audiences in other European countries.
This situation occurs because Romanian museums are still operating in a
different social reality from the current one; they have not synchronized with
contemporary society, which is eager for entertainment and sensational. They
face financial and legislative difficulties, outdated concepts that cannot be
easily changed without competent and specialized personnel. Today, museums are
making efforts to diminish the elitist preconception and become part of a wider
community. Although there are often discussions about the lack of audience in
art museums in Romania, visible efforts are being made to attract them through
various methods. It remains to be seen how many acts of culture are carried out
in Romania, as it is important to know in the present research if this would be
a fair number in relation to the number of museum institutions and their
possibilities. The objective of this research is to identify and analyze the
key factors contributing to the limited audience and to define the profile of
the Romanian cultural consumer.
KEYWORDS: museum audience; cultural participation;
cultural promotion; visitor engagement; cultural outreach; visitor
demographics.

TITLE: "The Law of the Western Roman Empire at the Time of the Invasions"
ABSTRACT: The Roman legal system has its origin in the era of the foundation of Rome and was applied until the death of the emperor Iustinianus, from the 8th century BC to the 6th century AD. Compared to other ancient peoples, creators of law, the Romans were the only ones who generated a special category of "professionals" managing to lay the foundations of the unique ancient model of law elaborated in a "scientific" way. Also, to the Romans, two essential elements that have become constant in positive law stand out: the principle of individual property and the distinction between Ius Publicum and Ius Privatum. What can be emphasized with certainty is the special aptitude and talent that prevails throughout the entire history of Rome in the elaboration and knowledge of law, a fact that is also highlighted by the creation of a true archetype of the Roman citizen, at first the pontiff-jurist, and, later, only jurist-magistrate. The great success of Roman law, however, was the standardization of its rules through the Corpus Iuris Civilis, which brought together all the legal norms of Roman origin in a written document.
