The setting up of an Area of Freedom, Security and Justice was decided and established in order to really allow free movement of persons within the European Union and in order to take action more effectively with regard to the fight against organized crime and against fraud. By the Maastricht Treaty the related fields of justice and home affairs have been included in Title VI of the EU Treaty (third pillar). Decisions were taken according to intergovernmental procedures. The system of the three pillars is cancelled by the Lisbon Treaty and police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters is also communitarized (n.a. communitarized is a term used to describe the transfer of competences to the European Communities pillar of the European Union). Even if the police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters is coming under the European decision, the participation of the Member States does not disappear. For these sectors the states’ intervention is more than usually possible. Special clauses of exemption remain applicable in the case of the UK, Ireland and Denmark. The Lisbon Treaty improves the EUʹs capacity to act in various areas of priority for the todayʹs Union and its citizens, including freedom, security and justice (fight against terrorism or against crime). The Lisbon Treaty promotes the Europe of rights and values, freedom, solidarity and security, as well as EU’s fundamental values, introducing the Charter of Fundamental Rights in the European primary law, providing new mechanisms regarding solidarity and ensuring better protection for the European citizens in a space of freedom and security. This latter objective is achieved through closer cooperation between police forces and customs authorities both directly as well as through Europol. International migration – either voluntary or forced ‐ is a very developed phenomenon in terms of market globalization. Currently the number of people living The Romanian Journal of European Studies, no. 7–8/2009 6 outside the country of origin (country of birth) is greater than ever in human history. The analysis of this phenomenon leads to the conclusion that migration plays a significant role in the evolution of society. This has clear benefits that could be enhanced, and disadvantages that could be minimized. From a demographic perspective, reporting to a given population there are two crossed migration phenomena: immigration and emigration, i.e. all in‐flows and out‐flows of people. Economic migration is one of the forms most frequently encountered in recent decades, being driven by differences between countries regarding access to resources and jobs as well as the specializations’ crisis. The EU space, the most spread in terms of wealth, is what stimulates intense flows of immigrants, determining an exquisite scientific activity for deciphering the mechanisms of maintenance and the consequences they generate towards the countries, both of origin and those of destination. On the eve of accession to the Schengen space (which Romania still hopes to happen in March 2011), at which the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice will be fixed on the Romania’s borders – the new European Unionʹs external borders, the “Migration School” of Timişoara looks forward and proposes for debate the subject of even further enlarging of the European Migration Space. The accomplishment of this special issue on migration of The Romanian Journal of European Studies proves Romania’s interest, as European Union member state and as frontier space, located between the space of freedom, security, justice and welfare and other areas in the immediate and in the farther vicinity. By inviting Dr. Ruspini, an appreciated scholar in the field and a long‐run partner of the Jean Monnet European Centre of Excellence from Timişoara, to guest‐edit the special issue entitled South‐Eastern Europe and the European Migration System. East‐West Mobility in Flux, we aimed to bring his research experience in analyzing the European Migration Space into the debate of the new approaches and patterns of migration flows at the Romanian borders and into the region. We are open to multiple viewpoints on the multidimensionality of the contemporary migration phenomenon and intend to continue hosting the scientific research in this field within the prestigious pages of our journal, as we did since 2005, and we are honoured to enjoy the authors’ and readers’ interest in this journal. Editorial Paolo Ruspini Guest Editor Having witnessed two Eastern enlargements in a short span of time, it is somehow intriguing to look at the evolution of the European migration space in South‐Eastern Europe (SEE). Therefore a deep intellectual curiosity was once more the rationale behind the idea, in autumn

  • Vocality and Listening in Three Operas by Luciano Berio
    Clare Brady Royal Holloway, University of London The Open Voice: Vocality and Listening in three operas by Luciano Berio Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music February 2017 The Open Voice | 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Patricia Mary Clare Brady, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: February 1st 2017 The Open Voice | 2 Abstract The human voice has undergone a seismic reappraisal in recent years, within musicology, and across disciplinary boundaries in the humanities, arts and sciences; ‘voice studies’ offers a vast and proliferating array of seemingly divergent accounts of the voice and its capacities, qualities and functions, in short, of what the voice is. In this thesis, I propose a model of the ‘open voice’, after the aesthetic theories of Umberto Eco’s seminal book ‘The Open Work’ of 1962, as a conceptual framework in which to make an account of the voice’s inherent multivalency and resistance to a singular reductive definition, and to propose the voice as a site of encounter and meaning construction between vocalist and receiver. Taking the concept of the ‘open voice’ as a starting point, I examine how the human voice is staged in three vocal works by composer Luciano Berio, and how the voice is diffracted through the musical structures of these works to display a multitude of different, and at times paradoxical forms and functions. In Passaggio (1963) I trace how the open voice invokes the hegemonic voice of a civic or political mass in counterpoint with the particularity and frailty of a sounding individual human body.

Nobody described better this process of capillary penetration in the minds and conditioning of the lives of people living under Communist or Fascist regimes than George Orwell in his book Nineteen Eighty-Four (1), published in 1949 and warning us on the danger of Newspeak, Doublethink, Big Brother and the Thought Police.

  • Empfehlungen Zur Stärkung Der Sorbischen Minderheit Durch Schaffung Eines Abgestimmten Selbstverwaltungs-, Kooperations-, Projekt- Und Institutionenclusters
    EJM 5 (2012) 4: 211–429 Europäisches © Verlag Österreich 2012 Journal für Minderheitenfragen Empfehlungen zur Stärkung der sorbischen Minderheit durch Schaffung eines abgestimmten Selbstverwaltungs-, Kooperations-, Projekt- und Institutionenclusters Matthias Theodor Vogt unter Mitwirkung von Vladimir Kreck und den Fellows des Collegium PONTES Görlitz-Zgorzelec-Zhořelec Absctract These “Recommendations to Enforce the Sorbian Minority by Crea- ting a Coherent Cluster of Co-operation, Projects and Institutions” are the fi rst example in the history of European Minorities of an in-depth analysis of state and local allocations, both on the cultural economy and the cultural policy levels, comprising a critical evaluation and a structured recommendation for the future. The study has been commissioned by representatives of the Sorbian people together with the Federal Republic of Germany, the Land Brandenburg and the Free State of Saxony via the Foundation for the Sorbian People at Bautzen. It has been elaborated 2008–2010 by the Institut für kulturelle Infrastruktur Sachsen in the framework of the Collegium PONTES Görlitz-Zgorzelec-Zhořelec, the Ger- man-Polish-Czech Institute of Advanced Studies of the Upper Lusatia. Under the guidance of the institute’s director Matthias Theodor Vogt nearly hundred experts on minority issues from a dozen countries have been working on the issues. It took some time (and sharp adverse wind from several German institutions, up to now benefi ciaries of Sorbian allocations), till the recommendations truly arrived in the midst of the Sorbian people which is the case now at the end of 2012. The European Journal of Minority Issues, feasting its fi rst fi ve years accom- plished, publishes the entire study, with the help of the Zittau/Görlitz University, to mark the methodological progress within our academic fi eld.

Exile and martyrdom, two tools for mass liberal politicisation The aftermath of the 1848 European revolutions saw significant increase in political exiles. The drift back towards authoritarian monarchies, coupled with the new role played by measures to take in political migrants in certain European states (France, Great Britain, and Piedmont), contributed to a massive increase in their number and the generalisation of the practice of exile.

The question, however, remains as to what extent this report- ed scepticism truly reflects people’s opinions and feelings about Europe. We all consider it normal to cross borders within Europe, often while using the same money, as well as to take part in exchange programmes, invest in enterprises across Europe and appeal to European institutions if national regulations, for example, do not meet our expectations.

Immigration has, to an extent, been transformed from a strangely neglected subject to a key contemporary issue. In the inter-war period which I have been studying, the number of foreign nationals residing long term in France doubled, rising from 1,532,000 (or 3.9% of the population) in 1921, to around 3,000,000 (or 7% of the total population) by 1930.[1] Such a tidal wave of migrant labour undoubtedly had a crucial role to play in the development of France in the interwar period and as such has certainly deserved the study undertaken by numerous historians. Equally, within a subject so vast, room still remains for further studies, both regional and national. However, in looking at the subject it seemed to me that, while much recent attention has been devoted to immigration 'per se', very little research has been conducted into that group of immigrants who chose to make their pact with France permanent, via the process of naturalisation.

  • WCCI 17Th World Conference Speakers
    About the Speakers Federico Mayor Zaragoza was born in Barcelona in 1934. He holds a Ph.D. in Pharmacy from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (1958). In 1963, he became a Professor of Biochemistry at the Facultad de Farmacia of the Universidad de Granada. In 1968, he became Rector of that institution, a job he held until 1972. The following year, he was named Professor in his specialty at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. In these years it started up the National Plan of Prevention of Mental Handicap, to avoid, by means of F. M. Zaragoza precocious diagnosis, diseases that can evolve with serious mental deterioration. During his 12 years as head of UNESCO (1987–1999) Federico Mayor Zaragoza gave new life to the organization's mission to "build a bastion of peace in the minds of all people", putting the institution at the service of peace, tolerance, human rights and peaceful coexistence, working within the scope of its powers and remaining faithful to its original goals. Under Mayor's guidance, UNESCO created the Culture of Peace Programme, whose objectives revolve around four main themes: education for peace; human rights and democracy; the fight against isolation and poverty; the defense of cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue; and conflict prevention and the consolidation of peace. On 10 November 1998, the UN General Assembly declared the years 2001–2010, International Decade for the Promotion of a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World and, on 13 September 1999, it adopted the Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace, which embodies Mayor's greatest aspirations from both a conceptual and practical standpoint.
