Clinical Sociology and Moral Hegemony
2013
The article presents a critique of a dominant way of analysing gang conflict in Norwegian sociology. The research in question uses a rather crude Marxist analysis that could somehow fit any gang conflict in the country. However, this kind of analysis was gradually put in question first by professor Ottar Brox and his criticism of the moral hegemony by a group of Marxists gathered around the publication “Klassekampen” (“Class Struggle”). Then the analysis was challenged by gang-researchers who reached back to the classical study of Frederic M. Thrasher, finding the latter more fruitful for analysis. Antonio Gramsci (1891- 1937) who coined the term cultural hegemony used it to describe how a …

Lucretius Franco-Hibernicus: Dicuil’s Liber de Astronomia and the Carolingian Reception of De Rerum Natura
2020
Abstract Since its coinage in the nineteenth century, the concept of Carolingian renaissance has been primarily based on the revival of classical texts promoted by Charlemagne and his successors. Among the positive consequences of Carolingian classicism is the careful—if discreet—preservation of the text of Lucretius’s De Rerum Natura, which survives in three valuable ninth-century manuscripts. Whereas rigorous philological studies of these manuscripts have been offered, little attention has been paid to their role in, and connection with, the reception of Lucretius in ninth-century literature. It has been generally assumed that for the Carolingians the DRN was essentially a source for gram…

Rational vs historical reconstructions. A note on Blaug
2003
The paper focuses on Blaug's distinction between rational and historical reconstruction within the historiography of economics. Blaug's distinction is shown to be sterile and misleading and his definitions of no avail to clear thinking. Historical reconstruction (as defined by Blaug) is en empty box for reasons which are basically theoretical and not simply practical (as Blaug seems to hold). Moreover, Blaug's primary polemical target is Whig historiography and not rational reconstruction: the two concepts coincide only by means of an ad hoc definition. Blaug's criticism does not apply to other uses of the concept of rational reconstruction such as that proposed by Lakatos.
Pavese indifferente? Parentele segrete fra Gli indifferenti e Il diavolo sulle colline
2022
The article offers a comparison between Alberto Moravia and Cesare Pavese on the basis of two novels: The Time of Indifference (1929) and The Devil in the Hills (1949). After sketching the unfriendly relationship between these writers, I aim to show how close The Devil in the Hills was to Moravia’s poetics through the analysis of themes, imagery and literary ascendance. The essay ends with a close reading of Moravia’s article “Pavese decadente” (1954), generally neglected by critics: its flaws and contradictions help us to understand how close Pavese and Moravia were at a certain moment, despite their plain, mutual animosity.
Poezia visului real
2019
Abstract This article aims to review the anthology One Hundred and One Poems that includes a collection of poems and critical quotes selected by Alina Bako, who not only provides an overview of the lyrical universe created by Leonid Dimov, but also the critical tools needed for the specialized or non-specialized reader in order to step into the essence of Dimov’s creation. Thereby, the researcher contributes to the revival of the work of a poet who is still actual and valuable.
Elemente Avangardiste În Perioada Postbelică
2019
Abstract In this article we discuss the avant-garde phenomenon, emphasizing that it promotes thinking without prejudice or limits, in which the writer can explore completely new horizons of creativity. Both Virgil Mazilescu's poems and Nora Iuga's poems (both under the oneiric mantle), illustrate the idea of freedom in terms of poetic thinking and poetry, despite the political and literary context in which they were.
Gandhian Fasting and Cultural Indigestion in Jeffrey Eugenides’ “Air Mail”
2020
Abstract “Air Mail” is one of the ten stories included in Jeffrey Eugenides’ latest collection of stories, Fresh Complaint. Drawing on one of the characters in his third novel, The Marriage Plot, as well as on his own experiences in India working as a volunteer alongside Mother Theresa, “Air Mail” tells the story of young (and idealistic) Mitchell Grammaticus, who leaves the West in order to explore India, Bangkok, and a tropical island in the Gulf of Siam, where he finally succumbs to dysentery (as well as to thoughts regarding the futility of existence). Ripe in irony and biting sarcasm, coupled with a surprising tenderness and empathy, which are the landmarks of Eugenides’ writing, the s…
