Private renting in Romania

The paper's aim is to present an overview on the PRS in Romania, emphasizing the main characteristics and the nature of PRS evolution after 1989. The past 20 years reveal some key-changes that occurred in the socio-economic and political life of the country and we have explored them as factors that have shaped the PRS. The analysis begins with a presentation of PRS stock, and it continues with a brief assessment of the housing conditions in addition to the socio-economic and demographic profile of households in the sector. Romania has a large housing stock with an unusually high-share of private ownership. Having these findings as a starting point, our paper explores those housing policies that have had the biggest impact on the field and shaped housing market trends. We have used statistical tools to analyze the data provided by the National Institute of Statistics-Romania, and Housing Associations, and major real-estate companies who operate on the Romanian market. An exploratory research was developed using the opportunity to interview policy-makers, national housing authorities, landlords and tenants in order to describe the current role of PRS on the housing market and the future of PRS in Romania.private rental sector, housing stock, tenant, landlord, rent, housing market, housing policy

Shakespeare versus Aristotle: Anagnorisis, Repentance, and Acknowledgment

Efforts to describe Shakespeare’s tragedies and place them within the history of the genre have been long misled by dubious assumptions about Shakespeare’s secularism dating back to the influence of German Romanticism. The use of concepts drawn from Aristotle’s Poetics has been compromised, as well, by patterns of misinterpretation, reflecting the influence of Renaissance Protestants such as Melanchthon who sought to reconcile classical tragedy with Christianity. Hamartia as Aristotle uses the word does not mean sin. Anagnorisis does not mean repentance. Using these terms as euphemisms for these Christian concepts has proved attractive, nonetheless, because it allows critics to avoid recognizing Shakespeare’s indebtedness to the moral vision of Christianity. As in medieval Biblical drama, tragedy for Shakespeare is the failure of a sinner to repent. As in the case of confession, Shakespeare represents repentance as a process which requires engagement with other people: an intersubjective transformation Stanley Cavell calls “acknowledgment.
