This academic event has for now an uninterrupted tradition, and this year the Colloquium reached its 8th edition. What could justify the organization of a colloquium about translation and interpretation nowadays? This question is very simple, but, at the same time, one may not easily find a satisfying answer. I tend to believe that the arguments may be found by acknowledging the evident context in which both aspects (translation and interpretation) are being regarded as essential components, not only of certain areas such as Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics or any other, but of our everyday lives, because they are to be found in people’s lives as long as they are trying to understand situations, contexts, and aspects of their lives. In order to succeed in their endeavours, it is necessary that human beings would translate the respective situations of their lives into their own individual language. Even if as a strictly methodological procedure, translation and interpretation are being analysed, as a general rule, separately. Actually, they have a common destination, not knowing all the time which one precedes the other. Evidence enables us to state that interpretation assumes the act of translation as being preliminary and we all agree that we cannot interpret a text of philosophy from ancient Greece, for example, if we do not know ancient Greek language. For those that do not know this language, translation asserts itself as a necessity in order to understand something from that text. On the other side, we cannot make a certain translation by absolving us from the preliminary data. No matter how hard we try, when we translate a text, we cannot isolate the tradition, the culture to which we belong. Not only is the act of translation influenced by our culture and presuppositions, may it be consciously or not, but our everyday life is also being guided by these preliminary data. The presuppositions theorized by R.G. Collingwood and H.-G. Gadamer among others precede any form of translation. Some of the papers presented at the colloquium held in Iaşi on the 10th and 11th of November have emphasized the fact that from the (mis)interpretation of the sacred texts to the translation of the official documents of the European Union, the art of interpretation has passed 7 Introduction: About Translation and Interpretation through diverse records: from interpretation techniques that initially regarded self-edification to doctrines of interpretation, like the doctrine of the four senses of the Scripture. Regardless of the aspect that we acknowledge this fact or not, translation and interpretation entwine in an inextricable way with our everyday life. From Nietzsche’s Will to Power we understand that “facts do not exist; only interpretations exist”. All the more so as we may affirm that, the act of translation is nothing else than an interpretation! And each act of our life, as it assumes a relationship regarding things, people or ourselves. Any relationship that implies understanding may be seen as an act of translation. The first time a translation appeared may be identified exactly, along with the diversity of languages and culture.

  • Salvador Dalí and Science, Beyond Mere Curiosity
    Salvador Dalí and science, beyond mere curiosity Carme Ruiz Centre for Dalinian Studies Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, Figueres Pasaje a la Ciencia, no.13 (2010) What do Stephen Hawking, Ramon Llull, Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, "Cosmic Glue", Werner Heisenberg, Watson and Crick, Dennis Gabor and Erwin Schrödinger have in common? The answer is simple: Salvador Dalí, a genial artist, who evolved amidst a multitude of facets, a universal Catalan who remained firmly attached to his home region, the Empordà. Salvador Dalí’s relationship with science began during his adolescence, for Dalí began to read scientific articles at a very early age. The artist uses its vocabulary in situations which we might in principle classify as non-scientific. That passion, which lasted throughout his life, was a fruit of the historical times that fell to him to experience — among the most fertile in the history of science, with spectacular technological advances. The painter’s library clearly reflected that passion: it contains a hundred or so books (with notes and comments in the margins) on various scientific aspects: physics, quantum mechanics, the origins of life, evolution and mathematics, as well as the many science journals he subscribed to in order to keep up to date with all the science news. Thanks to this, we can confidently assert that by following the work of Salvador Dalí we traverse an important period in 20th-century science, at least in relation to the scientific advances that particularly affected him. Among the painter’s conceptual preferences his major interests lay in the world of mathematics and optics.

The complexity within an art painting is expected to be high, possibly comparable to that of nature. Therefore, constructions of artists (e.g., paintings, music, literature, etc.) are expected to be also of high complexity since they are produced by numerous human (e.g., logic, instinct, emotions, etc.) and non-human (e.g., quality of paints, paper, tools, etc.) processes interacting with each other in a complex manner. The result of the interaction among various processes is not a white-noise behavior, but one where clusters of high or low values of quantified attributes appear in a non-predictive manner, thus highly increasing the uncertainty and the variability. In this work, we analyze stochastic patterns in terms of the dependence structure of art paintings of Da Vinci and Picasso with a stochastic 2D tool and investigate the similarities or differences among the artworks. Keywords: aesthetic of art paintings; stochastic analysis of images; Leonardo Da Vinci; Pablo Picasso 1. Introduction The meaning of beauty is linked to the evolution of human civilization, and the analysis of the connection between the observer and the beauty in art and nature has always been of high interest in both philosophy and science.

As scholars have long recognized, Alexander’s connection to Achilles represents both a historical and a literary phenomenon: Alexander not only portrayed himself as a second Achilles, but was also portrayed as such by those who wrote about him. While scholars have traditionally concentrated on the connection’s historical dimension, I concentrate in this study on its literary dimension (the Achilles motif), taking Arrian, Curtius, and Plutarch, the three extant Alexander historians

  • Matila Ghyka's Memoires and Gustave Le Bon's Concept Of
    Roxana PATRAȘ Researcher „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iaşi Iaşi, Romania Matila Ghyka’s Memoires and Gustave Le Bon’s Concept of “Dematerialization” Abstract: The present essay analyzes to what extent Gustave le Bon’s theories on the dematerialization of matter influence Matila Ghyka’s own way of treating his biography (actual life and virtual “lives”) in both fictional and non-fictional works. What strikes the most in Matila Ghyka’s style is a technique of extensive self- quotation, which is not mere egocentrism. Whereas le Bon does not discriminate between Force and Matter and states that Matter is an infinite reservoir of intra-atomic energy, in the particular case of Matila’s writings, the degree in which textual matter (recollections, memories) dissociates or re-crystalizes indicates the actual force encapsulated in the point of departure (the object of recollection, experience as such). Textual series bring testimony to Ghyka’s strive to burn out variants to invariant (Happiness, the Golden Ratio), to drive meaning to a state of transparency. Keywords: Dematerialization, Matter, Ether, Dreams, Memories, Series Who is Matila Ghyka? Supposing the readers of this essay have never heard of Matila Ghyka, I shall start by enumerating a list of names: Paul Valery, Leon-Paul Fargue, Marcel Proust, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Lucien Fabre, Henri Poincare, Claude Farrere, Salvador Dali, and Gustave le Bon. The list can be broadened but, for reasons of space, I will just resume myself to saying that Ghyka was a very close friend to all these famous people. 475 Langue, civilisation, religion, histoire Friendships let aside, Matila Ghyka himself is a fascinating figure of the Romanian diaspora of the 50’ and 60’, quite unknown to his fellow countrymen because of Communist censure and post-transition disregard.

  • The Cultural Impact of Science in the Early Twentieth Century
    In the early decades of the twentieth century, engagement with science was commonly used as an emblem of modernity. This phenomenon is now attracting increasing attention in different historical specialties. Being Modern builds on this recent scholarly interest to explore engagement with science across culture from the end of the nineteenth century to approximately 1940. Addressing the breadth of cultural forms in Britain and the western world from the architecture of Le Corbusier to working class British science fiction, Being Modern paints a rich picture. Seventeen distinguished contributors from a range of fields including the cultural study of science and technology, art and architecture, English The Cultural Impact of culture and literature examine the issues involved. The book will be a valuable resource for students, and a spur to scholars to further examination of culture as an Science in the Early interconnected web of which science is a critical part, and to supersede such tired formulations as ‘Science and culture’. Twentieth Century Robert Bud is Research Keeper at the Science Museum in London. His award-winning publications in the history of science include studies of biotechnology and scientific instruments.
