Marginal Spaces and Cultures of Dissent in Socialist Romania's Black Sea
This book analyzes two Romanian villages – 2 Mai and Vama Veche – as spaces of relative freedom during the last decades of socialist rule. This microhistorical study refutes simplistic views of the communist past which focus on political figures and events, and instead explores ordinary people and everyday life. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, it considers a broad range of sources, including official Communist Party documents, secret police files, personal memoirs, oral history interviews, ethnographic films, songs, and artistic performances. This book intertwines three narrative threads: that of the visitors (mainly members of the Romanian intelligentsia, young people, and hippies); that of the local inhabitants; and that of 'authority' (local and central state agents actively engaged in surveillance and supervision). In doing so, it interrogates the spectrum of consent/dissent and resistance/collaboration hitherto neglected in scholarship.
In Contact With the Gods?
Rarely has the private world of the director in the rehearsal room been so frankly and entertainingly opened. In addition to the art and craft of directing, they discuss: multiculturalism; the 'classical' repertoire; theatre companies and institutions; working in a foreign language; opera; Shakespeare; new technologies; the art of acting; design; international festivals; politics and aesthetics; the audience; theatre and society.
The Diachrony of Differential Object Marking in Romanian

Beyond the New Romanian Cinema
“A stellar representative of the New Romanian Cinema, Radu Jude also belongs to a select group of politically-minded East European filmmakers who have taken as their subject the nature of the media and the circulation of images (Vertov and Eisenstein, Dušan Makavejev, the Ukrainian documentari- an Sergei Loznitsa). For that reason, Andrei Gorzo and Veronica Lazăr’s Beyond the New Romanian Cinema: Romanian Culture, History, and the Films of Radu Jude is both welcome and essential.” / J. Hoberman, author of The Red Atlantis: Communist Culture in the Absence of Communism “Beyond the New Romanian Cinema: Romanian Culture, History, and the Films of Radu Jude delivers what it promises in...

Conspiratia cearsafurilor
Conspiratia cearsafurilor: Un jurnal la purtator, o carte de evocari si calatorii prin lume, plina de fantezie si paradoxuri, de un umor nebun, irezistibil, cu personaje decupate din realitate, familia scriitorului, scriitori prieteni, vecini. ''As paria ca oriunde veti deschide aceasta carte, veti intalni explozii, focuri de artificii umoristice, care te fac sa razi pana la lacrimi. In carte apar multe personaje decupate din realitate, prezentul se intalneste uneori cu trecutul, caci nu este doar o carte de umor irezistibil, ci si o carte de evocari si calatorii prin lume. O carte absolut delicioasa, care pe mine m-a umplut de bucurie.'' - Mircea Cartarescu ''Cartea lui Jan Cornelius este o...
