Typological proximity and connections, genetic relationship of the investigated languages represent on no account an assumption for confrontation; a fundamental assumption is the comparability of the size. We also cannot confront two languages as a whole, because a global comparison of languages would be too much for itself. Consequently, the main theoretical demand is a clear differentiation of the investigated object. The researcher needs an over individual language reference, a “tertium comparationis” for the establishment of the interlingual correlates, which is not identical with the languages to compare, but contains statements on the particular languages. In comparative linguistics there are conflicting opinions on the applicability of confrontations. This article also deals with the limits as well as the unmistakable advantages of this research method in the teaching of foreign languages. Keywords: comparison of languages, error analysis, interlinguistic common features, interlingual correlates, interlinguistic and intralinguistic interferences, system and norm infringement, internal language control system 1. Allgemeines Die natürlichen Sprachen sind mehr oder weniger übereinstimmende linguistische Erscheinungen. Alle Sprachen besitzen ein Phonem- und Morphemsystem, ein bestimmtes Korpus von Lexemen, eine Syntax, ein Intonationssystem. Häufige Korrespondenzen zwischen den Sprachen Senior Lecturer, PhD., “Dimitrie Cantemir” Christian University, Bucharest 11 können in der Wortfolge, in der Syntax, in der Thema-Rhema-Gliederung vorliegen. Im Allgemeinen weisen aber die einzelnen Sprachsysteme voneinander abweichende Strukturen und Merkmale auf. STERNEMANN (1983: 27ff.)1 spricht in diesem Sinne von a. totaler, b. partieller und c. Nulläquivalenz. Die neueren Sprachgleiche basieren weniger auf in der Ausgangs- und Zielsprache „Vorhandenem“ sondern auf einem „Mehr“ oder „Weniger“ im Verhältnis zwischen beiden Sprachen. Typologische Nähe und Beziehungen, genetische Verwandschaft der Untersuchungssprachen stellen dabei keinesfalls eine Voraussetzung für Konfrontationen dar, eine Grundvoraussetzung ist die Vergleichbarkeit der Größen. Zwei Sprachen können auch nicht in ihrer Gesamtheit konfrontiert werden, denn ein globaler Sprachvergleich würde sich selbst überfordern (vgl. PUTZER 1994: 27; MOISE 2004: 21). Infolgedessen erweist sich die klare Abgrenzung des Untersuchungsgegenstandes als prinzipiell theoretische Forderung (vgl. STERNEMANN 1983: 39f; HELBIG 1981: 105). Auf Grund der interlingualen Gemeinsamkeiten, Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede können nur bestimmte Aspekte einer Ausgangssprache mit denen der Zielsprache verglichen werden (vgl. MOISE 2004: 21). Davon ausgehend kann die Zielsetzung von Konfrontationen sehr unterschiedlich sein. Einerseits können sie innerlinguistischer Natur sein und die Charakteristika der verglichenen Sprachen vermitteln, d.h. den unterschiedlichen Bau der Sprachsysteme bestimmen, andererseits können sie die funktionelle Seite der Sprache beinhalten und als heuristische Methode genutzt werden, um das Regelsystem der Sprachen zu beschreiben. Für die Ermittlung der zwischensprachlichen Korrelate benötigt der Forscher i.d.R. eine übereinzelsprachliche Bezugsgröße, ein “tertium comparationis”, das mit den zu untersuchenden Sprachen nicht identisch ist, aber Aussagen über die jeweiligen Sprachen enthält (vgl. STERNEMANN 1983: 33; 63; PUTZER 1994: 26). Es ist eine theoretisch explizierte bzw. hypothetisch angesetzte Größe invarianter Eigenschaften, Merkmale und Regeln (vgl. HELBIG 1981: 75; MOISE 2004: 22), die 1 R. Sternemann, Einführung in die

  • Between Music and Sub-Culture: Analysis of Manea and Hip-Hop in Romania
    BETWEEN MUSIC AND SUB-CULTURE: ANALYSIS OF MANEA AND HIP-HOP IN ROMANIA -Anca Cretu- Post-1989 Romania is increasingly defined by the search for cultural identity and the clash of cultures. The communist regime of 1944-1989 opposed extraneous invasive elements, whether political, economic, or even cultural. Thus, people became more attached to what they considered to be “their own,” particularly in the cultural sphere. This broad trend is reflected in terms of post- 1989 attitudes in recording music. Among the issues relevant to the cultural clashes is the way in which a post-communist popular culture overcomes important nationalistic boundaries. Nowadays, Romania searches for its cultural identity in a particular way, torn between developing nationalistic spirit and the need for western novelty. These two trends are the result of such transformations such as economic globalization, revolutions in technology, and the opening of markets i — one of the most accessible being the audiovisual market. It is simultaneously the most prominent forum for the expression of a cultural identity, shaping the image of life styles, a relatively new concept for the Romanian people. In the context of accession to the EU, there is a growing interest and focus on the audiovisual, as a way of battling Americanization. For many people of the former eastern bloc, this term connotes sexuality, violence, and the ruin of “Europeanness.” ii As with most European youth, Romanian teens are great media consumers, increasingly interested in keeping themselves updated with products from around the world. For them, music is an important way of expression in the search for personal identity.

  • Hip-Hop in Romania (1992-2008)
    Michaela PRAISLER ISSN 2029-4182 Daniela ŞORCARU GRUPĖS IR APLINKOS: 2010.2 Isabela MERILĂ Dunărea de Jos University of Galaţi Hip-Hop in Romania (1992-2008) Abstract The presented report includes an overview of the political and social situation of post-Communist Romania from the viewpoint of establishing the emergence and development of hip-hop as a ‘taste’ subculture. As there were very few detectable traces of the specific literature we needed in Romanian, our pioneering work started with adapting foreign literature in the field to the Romanian realities we faced. The results of our research are quantified, discussed and concluded complete with references and the state-of-the-art. Keywords: hip-hop, subculture, post-Communist Romania Introduction After 1989, in the post-Communist era, the academic research in Eastern Europe, Romania included, opened up to the new problems posed by the mechanisms of cultural change. Public recognition of decentring margins and of oppositional forces to mainstream culture gradually brought about an increased interest in subcultures (originated in terms of region, ethnicity, class, religion or ‘taste’). An analysis of such, it was felt, would contribute to a better understanding of the inner workings of the local and global state of affairs, despite the neuralgic points being tackled. ‘Taste’ subcultures were the last to gain visibility and to form a subject for scholarly investigation. This explains the scarcity of resources in the field and the necessity of giving more attention to this otherwise prominent phenomenon. The particular case of Romanian hip-hop and its novel discourse was made the object of our research within the Sixth Framework Project, Society and Lifestyles.

    04.10.2019 - 19:30 Music - Opening night and after party LES BRIGITTINES in collaboration with LES ATELIERS CLAUS With an eclectic line-up starting with an active listening session in an acousmonium and ending in a wild party, EUROPALIA ROMANIA kick’s off its music programme. 2 new commissions showcase exclusive encounters between Belgian and Romanian artists. Later some of Bucharests most important players of the young generation will take care of the more dancefloor oriented part of the evening. Where young meets old and tradition meets modernity! OCTAVIAN NEMESCU’S GRADEATIA / NATURAL INTERPRETED BY CAROLINE PROFANTER 20:00 Octavian Nemescu is one of its country’s avant-garde pioneers and initiator of the Romanian Spectralism. His seminal album GRADEATIA-NATURAL was the first fully- electronic album to be released in Romania under its culturally-repressive Communist regime in 1984. Gradeatia was commissioned by the Belgian Radio-Television and recorded at I.P.E.M. Ghent. It’s an exploration into sonic primordial and universal archetypes recording ambient narrative blends, melodic electronic drones with field recordings to paint an ‘electronic fresco’. After its reissue on Sub Rosa last year, EUROPALIA is proud to present the pieces in a 50 speakers acousmonium, interpreted by the Belgian composer and musician Caroline Profanter. An experience devoted to pure active listening, where the public will be immersed into the sound of spatial polyphony. 2 MILAN W. AND THE TULNIC ENSEMBLE OF AVRAM IANCU 21:30 One of EUROPALIA ROMANIA’s residency highlights is the encounter between Belgian electronic music composer Milan Warmoeskerken and a tulnic Ensemble comprising 5 women from the village Avram Iancu.

The festival aimed to generate a greater un- derstanding of other countries through art and culture. The need for this had grown in the context of the European Eco- nomic Community, where countries started working together and their citizens living together. An introduction to each other’s culture could stimulate genuine interest and thereby strengthen dialogue and cohesion. No fewer than 26 festivals have taken place over the years, with top editions such as Europalia Spain (1985) and Europalia Austria (1987). In 1989, Europalia Japan marked the moment when the festival started to look beyond Europe. Several non-European countries have subsequently been invited, including Russia (2005) and India (2013). But a lot has changed since then. Today, it would be unthinkable for the festival to like it did 50 or even 20 years ago.

  • Hip Hop, Religion and the Youth of Romania: a Preliminary Study
    Chiril? and Chaney: Hip Hop, Religion and the Youth of Romania: A Preliminary Study Hip Hop, Religion and the Youth of Romania: A Preliminary Study Oana Alexandra Chirilă and Cassandra D. Chaney Abstract For the past two decades, Hip Hop has attained a significant presence in Romania. The fall of Communism as well as growing social unrest has led a growing number of Hip Hop artists to incorporate strong Orthodox and nationalist messages into their lyrics. However, not all Hip Hop fans advocate this stance. This essay argues for an investigation of how Romanian youth respond to the religious and spiritual lyrics in Hip Hop. This mixed-methods study examines whether Romanian youth gravitate toward “spiritual-oriented messages or religious-oriented messages” and are thus, “hardcore listeners” or “casual listeners.” The results of the study highlight Romanian youth’s support of religious/spiritual Hip Hop as well as the ability of religion to foster tolerance. VOLUME 5 ISSUE 1 85 Published by VCU Scholars Compass, 2018 1 Journal of Hip Hop Studies, Vol. 5 [2018], Iss. 1, Art. 8 Introduction Hip Hop has been on the Romanian urban scene for approximately twenty years and has shaped public preferences regarding clothing, music, and dancing. However, what is Hip Hop? Some definitions include, but are not limited to ”a social political movement created in the late 70`s”1, “a subculture especially of inner-city youths who are typically devotees of rap music”2 or “a type of popular music in which the words are spoken rather than sung and the subject of the songs is often politics or society.”3 While these definitions recognize the musical and activist characteristics of Hip Hop, they do not acknowledge its impact.

    Ambivalent Belonging in a Hierarchy of Others Positioning and Identity-Making in Bucharest Saskia Butler Master’s Thesis – Department of Social Anthropology The University of Oslo 22.05.2012 II Ambivalent Belonging in a Hierarchy of Others Positioning and Identity-Making in Bucharest Saskia Butler III © Saskia Butler 2012 Ambivalent Belonging in a Hierarchy of Others. Positioning and Identity-Making in Bucharest Saskia Butler http://ww.duo.uio.no/ IV Abstract In this thesis I explore aspects of identity-making processes among city dwellers in Bucharest, Romania. The unbounded and fragmented cityscape appeared as ambiguous as the social context, where a lack of positively loaded sense of belonging prevailed. Within this ambiguous framework, categories of ‘Others’, proved to be vital for social orientation. On the basis of five and a half months fieldwork in Bucharest, I suggest that ‘positioning’ in relations to ‘Others’, are significant aspects of identity-making processes among Bucharest dwellers, and in particular, the young middle class. ‘Others’ were represented in the social construct of ‘gypsies’, and categories of ill-mannered Romanians. These internal hierarchical orders also reflect a wider context, wherein Romanians subordinate themselves in relation to an idealized image of the West. Subjects and objects for disdain were saturated by notions of the ‘uncivilized’, contrasted, and compared to an idealized image of the ‘civilized West’. The common denominator that cut across various definitions of ‘Others’, both inferior ones in terms of ‘gypsies’, but also the superior one represented by the West, was this frequent reference to ideas of ‘civilized’ and ‘uncivilized’. This dichotomy, served as a navigator in identity-making processes, and was implemented by similarly positioned people to create a space where, positively loaded belonging emerged, while negative portrayals of ‘Others’ functioned to strengthen this sense of belonging.
