ION I. C. BRĂTIANU: UN REPER AL MODERNISMULUI ROMÂNESC IN STATU NASCENDI

Taking into consideration some formulas of reinterpretation of the historical phenomenon, by updating valid theories and points of view, the present article revalorizes the "prescriptive prescription" and the "architectural" modular approach, in the determination of the proportions of the components of the axis of modernity, in general, and of the Romanian one in particular. The prerogatives of Romanian modernity lie in the preeminence of "strong formulas," which prefigure the coordinates of a "new society"

ULBRICHT – PETERBOROUGH – ESPOSITO: DINCOLO DE LOGICA IMUNITAR-LIBERALĂ A MULTICULTURALISMULUI

The triple established relationship – Ulbricht – Peterborough – Esposito – announced from the title of the present study, approaches the continuing research of Alexej Ulbricht, the option for a specific area as example, representative/nodal space for the current debates, dates and realities of multiculturalism – Peterborough – and the philosophical-political aspects of immunization logic, as filtered through and delivered by the Italian philosopher, Roberto Esposito. The continued research, the specific area and the named political philosopher option, converge towards the arguments Alexej Ulbricht provides for the state of beyond liberal multiculturalism immunization

HANNAH ARENDT – O LECTURĂ STIMULATIVĂ PENTRU TEORETICIENII DIN DOMENIUL RELAȚIILOR INTERNAȚIONALE

The active/activa image of Hannah Arendt is required to be engaged here – in the corpus of the present article to the rule of three; on the one hand, through the indirectly-justifying reporting of her role and place in the context of international relations, through a reading – punctually – applied (as Hannah Arendt attributed to Pentagon Papers, extending the philosophical significance to political/politics); on the other hand, by placing – as place and role – into the group portrait of women-thinkers of political theory; and through the evaluation of two approaches (Anthony F. Lang, Jr., John Williams, eds., Hannah Arendt and International Relations. Readings Across the Lines, 2005 and Patricia Owens, Between War and Politics. International Relations and the Thought of Hannah Arendt, 2007), directly concerned with correcting the notable absence of the researcher and the obscure restraint that perpetuates her attraction and involvement in the international relations debate. Although “Arendt is not a solution to the problems of IR theory”, one cannot deny “her special applicability (...), as she can be a stimulating read for a wider variety of IR theorists” (A. F. Lang Jr., J. Williams, 2005: 2)

Research and Science Today No. 1(5)/2013

Research and Science Today Journal is a publication founded in 2011 and it is dedicated to the students of all levels (license, master and doctoral) of faculties in the country and abroad. We want to offer the participants the opportunity to present their scientific works in the following areas: Social Sciences, Economic Sciences, Legal Sciences, Humanities, Education Sciences, Engineering, Medicine and Sport.

So each appearance (two appearances per year at which we can add supplements) contains a number of papers written by students, masters and doctoral from the faculties from the country or/and abroad. The journal promotes original studies contributing to the progress of knowledge and it is motivated by the need to address issues of theory and practice in the areas mentioned above

Postmodernism and / or Post-History. Philosophical and Political Proceedings

Este ensayo pretende demostrar que la post-historia es sólo una expresión particular del estado de ánimo, sin definirla como totalmente posmoderna. Podemos establecer que la humanidad post-histórica, cada vez más indiferente en su conducta, sus puntos de vista, sus intereses y sus juicios de valor, estableció consensuadamente una relación de “normalidad ubicua” con la realidad. Una relación donde el elemento específico, el elemento particular, y la diferencia se transforman en “un error puro, dócil a la exclusión.” Ahí donde el posmodernismo busca la diversidad y la fragmentación, la post-historia identifica la unidad y la indiferencia. Allá donde la mirada de Lyotard busca positivos “proveedores” de la realidad, la mirada escéptica de Arnold Gehlen conecta con el “lamento” del mundo contemporáneo. Sin embargo, si tratamos de situar el punto de convergencia entre las dos nociones, en rigor ese punto se localiza precisamente en la continuación del tratamiento habermasiano del siglo. En este caso la post-historia sería, por tanto, un posible deslizamiento, “el accidente potencial, determinado por la media entre la (re) correlación de los fragmentos de la realidad.”The present study approaches that post-history is only a particular expression of mood, but not entirely postmodern, establishing that, post-historical Humanity,ever more un-differentiated in conduct, views, interests and value judgements, became consensual in relation to a “ubiquitous normality” of the real, where the specific element, the particular element, and the difference get transformed into “pure fallacy, submissive in front of the exclusion.” There where postmodernism searches diversity and fragmentation, post-history sees but unity and undifferentiating. There where the Lyotardian stare looks for positive “providers”of reality, the sceptical eye of Arnold Gehlen hooks on the “lament” of contemporary world. Nevertheless, if we would consider a virtual point of convergence of the two notions, it would be rigorously situated, precisely along the continuation of a Habermasian treatment of the century. Post-history would be thus, in this specific case, a possible slippage, “the potential accident, determined by the mediated (re)correlation of the fragments of the real.

„Bio-politics Reflexes” or something about what happens with Bio-politics today

Under the pressure dictated by Western modernity movements, life finally enters within strategic (long term) relationships circuit. The present study establishes that, bio-politics and bio-power denounces the paradigm of politicization of the biological life. Foucaults late writings confirm the subordination of bio-politics to the technologies of power, which integrate / reduce life to biological continuity of the species, to the objectification of individual body or investigation of self-techniques, that would allow (beyond the corset of the institutional), the (re) affirmation of subjectivity as a force or a form of resistance. The present reactivation of the bio model establishes that we cannot evade Foucaults view, in which, the biology- meeting politics confirms that, none of the terms no longer retains its original meaning
