Representations of Epistemological Colonization by Teri Szűcs

“…In my paper I argue that the hierarchy of powerful and weak narratives is always inscribed into the heterogeneity of historiographies – that is, the plurality of heterotemporal narratives is always inherently hierarchical, being a political construction. I am discussing Béla Osztojkán’s There is Nobody to Pay Jóska Átyin, the magnificent Hungarian Romani historical novel published in 1997, to trace the representations of epistemological oppression, to explore how the colonized, the Romani subaltern is taking part in the discourse of heterotemporality, and finally to see how the fragmented – “different” – historical knowledge is created and articulated in a literary work. …”

Politicizing history of art, breaking free from the absolute origin: Two pending issues by Jaime Vindel

“…Rather than a replication of her approach, the following words refer to provisional answers that —as I consider myself politically a historian— I have reached through my doctoral research of the relations between art and politics in Argentina from the 1960s until the 2001 crisis —two of the moments that Wechsler examines more closely. I do not think I am mistaken if I say that they are possible answers to shared questions. …”

Politica de mediu si rolul statului în ameliorarea conditiilor de mediu by Cristina STAICULESCU

“…Given the increasingly decaying environment on which our very existence relies upon and our unabashed ignorance, more so displayed by political office-holders and key, global economic actors, I set out in this article to summarize the current relevant debates on the topic, and why environmental issues rarely do gain salience in the political arena using a cross-disciplinary framework that I believe is most capable of providing a justification for our current state of affairs concerning the environment. To this end, I am using multiple concepts and arguments, while arguing that if we ever are to expect any significant betterment of our climate, it is going to be first and foremost the responsibility of nation-states to coordinate their efforts in order to improve and avert a potential devastating catastrophe.…”
