Changes Required in Organizing the Creativity Management in Romanian Firms

Resource management – both as a discipline and as a practice – has always emphasized the efficiency of their use.

Thus, the ways that management chooses to organize this inexhaustible resource that is creativity are essential for business development. Based on a rese…

Youth Unemployment in Romania: Post-crisis Challenges

2014

Abstract This article reviews the dynamics of the Romanian youth labour market between 2007 and 2013. Using total unemployment rate as benchmarking we describe the dynamics of youth unemployment during these years. We argue that the short time effects of the crisis on youth unemployment are just one side of the problem. The long term effects related to education and migration trends are the main challenges that labour market policies should address in the near future.

Legal Transplant as Socio-Cultural Engineering in Modern Romania

2011

Generally, this paper will outline Romanian society’s steps towards (legal) modernization by introducing a peculiar Romanian understanding of what might be called “rational transplant”. A rational transplant includes what Kalman Kulcsar identified as the one society’s “continuous social change by utilizing its own, internal conditions” – recaptured as a compulsory linkage with the legal traditions- and, at the same time, postulating a social and legal change through external factors. In this context, Romanian society would not be weak because it appeals to external sources of inspiration. It would be weak only in not correctly handling the legal transplant. Conversely, Romanian society woul…

The present article combines a historical approach with language ideologies by focusing on an institution offering language education. Language ideologies are presented as they a…

Verb inflection in Ancient Greek and Sanskrit and auxiliation patterns in French and Italian. Forms, functions, system

2009

This paper deals with the complex interaction between form and function in the verb morphosyntax of four Indo-European languages (French, Italian, Ancient Greek and Sanskrit). Beyond the difference in form, auxiliation patterns in French and Italian, and verb inflections in Ancient Greek and Sanskrit correlate, thanks to the agreement for number and person, to the expression of the relationship with the Subject. The different auxiliation patterns (sum and habeo) and the different inflections (middle and active) correlate to different properties of the Subject. In particular, these forms depend on the syntactic opposition between middle and non-middle. The ways of this dependency are regulat…

Lena Constante. Experiencia carcelaria y búsqueda de la palabra liberadora en lengua francesa

2016

Lena Constante (1909-2005), escritora de origen rumano, elige la lengua francesa para escribir su testimonio en las cárceles rumanas entre 1950 y 1957. Su vivencia, en un contexto de opresión totalitaria y de injusta acusación, expresa de modo somero las condiciones políticas en las que se produjeron los acontecimientos. Ahora bien, la autora desarrolla todo un conjunto de estrategias transgresoras, ligadas a la composición verbal que plasma en su obra autobiográfica L’évasion silencieuse. Trois mille jours seule dans les prisons roumaines (1990). Lejos de alcanzar la felicidad, realiza su propio camino de liberación interior frente al silencio, el aislamiento y las torturas impuestas
