and traces its roots in the tradition of slave narratives, from which it deviates via its
bleak portrayal of Blacks in the South. Black identity is a site of negativity, from
which Wright escapes by fashioning himself into a writer.
Imagery of Death in Hamlet
Raluca GALIŢA - University of Bacău
The image of death is omnipresent throughout Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Death
is envisaged as crime, suicide, infection, disease. This article tries to present and
comment all these aspects.
Briefing Cases in Legal English Class
Onorina GRECU - Universitatea ”Spiru Haret” Constanta
Law students are often required to summarise the facts and outcome of a
case in the course of their studies. A brief is a written summary of the case. It
involves thorough reading, analysis of the case with a careful eye to detail,
describing the case in one’s own words and briefing. For all that, it is a very good
exercise in Legal English class.
Une approche didactique sur le registre familier. Types d’activités en
classe de FLE
Florentina IBANESCU –”Marin Coman” Highschool of Galati
Teaching French to younger learners becomes a very difficult task because of
the difficulties created by the lexicon, grammar and orthography. One of the useful
solutions would be to familiarize them with the young French of the same age.
A double purpose could be aimed at: making them learn the words which
belong to the familiar register and insist upon the most important language
problems. With the optimism of any French teacher, I dare say “Focus on what you
have to learn!”
The Quest for Fractal Mirrors and Their Literary Relevance
Nicoleta IFRIM - “Dunărea de Jos” University of Galaţi
Beyond the “sociogonic poem” label, Eminescu’s poem makes up an
inherent fractal perspective on History complexity, following Mandelbrot’s
“waterfall” pattern. In a non-linear manner, the poetical ego guides the historical
reality to imagine its “temporally marked pilgrimage.” The oniric transgression of
time, doubled by the regressive descending through the historical ages, converts
the chronological, linear discourse into a fascinating travel within History itself.
The “ever increasing dimensionality” of the poetic vision, a specific feature of the
fractal complex forms, rules discourse structure which shapes itself with each
“entering / leaving” historical level of observation.
“Amplification and regression”, birth and death, or fractally speaking,
“form-ation and de-formation”, all these are subjected to recursive symmetry
strategies which differently occur at every level in the poematic fractal genesis.
