Persons in charge of the current issue: Cătălina Bălinişteanu, Elena Ciobanu, Raluca Galiţa

 

In the age of globalization, cultural spaces are constantly negotiated, changed and even contested. Nowadays cultural spaces show the tendency of having flexible borders (be they linguistic, ethnical, political, historical, social, etc), therefore they prove to be multi-layered structures that lead to the construction of cultural identity or to an exchange of cultural values. In most cases the cultural borders are not the same with the borders imposed by historical, political or social conventions. With the accelerated movement of populations, of financial capital or of cultural products, some cultural practices and beliefs have suffered dramatic changes or transformations. In this case, culture appears as a system of symbols and signs or as a space that makes possible diverse and multiple combinations of symbols, or of signs. The preservation of cultural identity is a social process in which all individuals of that specific cultural space participate.

 

The first volume of this issue contains three sections, which endeavour to offer multifaceted interpretations to the topic of identity within/beyond borders. The first section of the volume includes articles approaching identity from a double perspective: that of interdisciplinarity and of transdisciplinarity. The articles in the second section of the volume deal with literature and culture within/beyond borders. The articles in the third section of the volume deal with language and culture within/beyond borders.

 

The second volume of this issue contains three sections, concentrating on the ways in which identity can be interpreted from a variety of points of view. The first section of the volume includes articles discussing translation as mediation between/among identities. The articles in the second section of the volume approach identity from a double perspective: that of interdisciplinarity and of transdisciplinarity. The articles in the third section of the volume deal with the problems encountered within/beyond cultural/linguistic/racial borders.
