Amitav Ghosh and the Aesthetic Turn in Postcolonial Studies

This essay explores the aesthetic turn in postcolonial studies in light of the literary works of Indo-Burmese author Amitav Ghosh. While a renewed interest in aesthetic theories is apparent throughout the humanities in the past decade, it is particularly striking in postcolonial studies, where it holds out the possibility of blending the materialist/historicist and culturalist/textualist strands of postcolonial scholarship. Recent studies by Deepika Bahri, Nicholas Brown, Ato Quayson and others have been enormously promising; this essay argues for bringing their Frankfurt School-influenced aesthetic theories into conversation with other theories of aesthetics. Particular attention in this essay is given to the quasi-Kantian conception of beauty that emerges in Ghosh\u27s The Glass Palace (2001), which seeks to balance the desire for universal norms with the need to respect cultural differences

Reproducerea identitatii nationale si nationalism în grupurile ultras – un studiu de caz

Can sport contribute to the reproduction of national identity? Starting from Hobsbawm and going on through some scholars, we can find out about the role sport plays in the reproduction of national identity. Sporting nationalism is a topic that has risen a lot of interest. Yet, there are some areas that are still largely unexplored, particularly in Romania. One of these is: „can football lead to the grassroots reproduction of national identity?” This is a question I intend to answer in the following article. Furthermore, I will try to explore the way the ultras identity is related to the national identity in one case, the case of the supporters of Dinamo Bucharest. So, by answering the following questions, I will try to argue that the ulras movement can be seen as a form of grassroots nationalist phenomenon: how is identity and national identity reproduced? What does it mean to have a ultras identity? How does a „bottom-up” model of national identity reproduction work
