ECATERINA PĂTRAŞCU shows a particular interest in Knowledge and Representation in Contemporary British Novel. She is convinced that postmodernism is the best term to define the majority of the writers after 1968, particularly when referring to the American world. Such concepts as reality, history, knowledge, truth, are marked by fragmentariness, perspectivism, extreme subjectivity, and relativism. None of these can create themselves and neither can they create ontology. Nevertheless, although well disguised, the attitude of contemporary British writers such as Graham Swift, Julian Barnes, Salman Rushdie does exist at the opposite pole. The author considers that from the perspective of the British authors, history defines and establishes identities; from the relativistic American perspective, history is built. Political discourse and shade of meaning are involved in both cases, but the accent is different. Contact: cati_patrascu@yahoo.com DAN NICOLAE POPESCU, a young academic at “Ştefan cel Mare” University of Suceava, Romania, approaches the topic of “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight”: [Re]Translating the Mediaeval Code of Chivalry. The author argues that by the end of the Middle Ages, the Code of Chivalry had estranged itself so much from its original meaning that somebody, if anonymous[ly], had to re-translate it so that the knightly body should return to its position as militia Christi and abandon the morally perilous status of militia saeculi. The Arthurian romance in question offers this anonymous contemporary of Geoffrey Chaucer a splendid opportunity to satirically but also critically analyse knighthood's fall from grace. Yet, it grants us yet one more chance to contemplate how at the turn of the 15 th century Western culture switched from a God-centred environment to a man-centred one, ultimately implying that man perpetually re-translates himself/herself, striving to evade the limitations imposed by the afflictive nature of the human condition. Contact: dan_ppsc@yahoo.com The paper Language in Literature: Communication or Politics? surprises from the very beginning with a title resembling an equation. Its authors, MICHAELA PRAISLER and ALEXANDRU PRAISLER (the former a professor of English and American literature at the English Department of the Faculty of Letters, “Dunărea de Jos” University of Galaţi, Romania, and the latter a graduate of the Translation and Interpretation master’s programme), agree that literary art exploits the word to rewrite reality, to communicate ideologies and to formulate policies. From this point of view, George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four is a representative case which, beginning with its real-fictitious narrative thread and ending with the metalinguistic peritext of its Appendix, constitutes itself into a profound vii
study on language and literature, on the language of literature and on its communicative properties – supported or hindered by translation. Contacts: mipraisler@yahoo.co.uk, alexandru_praisler@yahoo.com STELUŢA STAN is in search of an answer to the question To Be an Author or a Critic or Both? This Is the Question. Possible answers are to be found in the literature on criticism. Here, Barthes, for example, defined the theoretical discourse to be self-reflexive as well as the export of critical expertise into the novel. Theoretical discourse was not only the proper manner to disseminate theory but also to attribute a critical function to the novel, an ability to explore the logic and philosophy of fiction, without making use of metalanguage. Steluţa Stan, associate professor, works for the English Department, Faculty of Letters, “Dunărea de Jos” University of Galaţi, Romania. Her research interests cover mainly the field of postmodernist literature. Contact: stelutastan@yahoo.com The problem of placing authors within different cultural trends may reveal itself to be rather difficult and some authors are to be placed somewhere in between, as is the case with ANDREIA IRINA SUCIU’s contribution, Malcolm Bradbury between Modernism and Postmodernism. The paper argues that Bradbury belonged to two worlds, his literary production being a bridge connecting two universes: he was a genuine British gentleman fascinated by North America where he would make travels aimed at inspiring a new culture and a new time, on the one hand, and a man of his time, keeping up with the trends, scientific discoveries and cultural developments, on the other. He would always come back to the past, and showed his consideration for the values of that past. Moreover, he was not only a genuine creator living in two millennia and feeling the pressure of transition, but also a thorough and objective analyst of the literary phenomenon and a playful wit who would very much enjoy using a comic voice in his novels. Deeply rooted in modernism and postmodernism, Bradbury masterfully used modern and postmodernistic techniques in a unitary and successful mixture. Andreia Irina Suciu, who defended her doctoral thesis on Malcolm Bradbury at ”Al. I. Cuza” University in Iasi, Romania, this autumn, teaches English literature at the University of Bacău. Contact: andreiairinasuciu@yahoo.com DANA MARIANA VASILIU, University of Bucharest, discusses the relation between Early Gothic architecture and medieval conceptualizations of the sacred space in the twelfth- and thirteenthcentury England, in her paper entitled On the Threshold of Bliss: Translating Sacred Space in Early Gothic Cathedrals. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the west front of Wells Cathedral, a huge screen-like canvas of viii
