Academic Event or Political Interest? The German Contributions to the Proceedings of the International Congress of Sociology (Bucharest, 1939) (original) (raw)
2016, Revista Română de Sociologie
Between August 29 and September 2, 1939 the XIVth International Congress of Sociology, organized by Dimitrie Gusti, should have taken place in Bucharest. However, because of the international context – the outbreak of World War II –, the conference never took place, its proceedings were published. Our study aims to contribute to a better understanding of Nazi Germany's sociology and its relationship with the Romanian sociological milieu by researching the profiles of the Third Reich's academics and their contributions to this congress. On one hand, we focuse on the work and careers of the German sociologists who were invited and accepted (or were allowed) to participate to the congress, on their position within the German sociology, but also within the Nazi institutional system.

Thus, we try to establish the extent to which their articles contain academic information a...

Despite the last decades' growing interest in discussing Cicero's philosophical works there is still no consensus among scholars regarding the purposes these works were written for. In this article, by focusing on some fragments from works like the ‚Hortensius‛ and ‚Consolatio‛, I will try to offer new grounds for reading and interpreting Cicero not only as a philosopher of public and political affairs, as he is usually seen by modern scholars, but also as a philosopher of the theoretical life.
The socio-economic situation of the city of Balti reflected in Iosif Broitman’s Guide (1938)
Akademos
The city of Bălți, during the years 1918–1939, had the opportunity to know a vast development in several spheres, becoming a regional economic center, which contributed to bringing it to light in the national arena, often competing with the regions over the Prut River. This study refers to the First guide of the municipality of Bălți edited by Iosif Broitman, published in 1938. The content of the article reflects the sectors of activity in the interwar period of the Balti municipality, especially the years 1937–1938: education, medicine, economy, culture, enterprises, factories. At the same time, the services offered in the municipality and the persons responsible in these fields are highlighted. The author points out the actions taken by the local administration for the socio-economic rise of the municipality, but also the weak points of the activity to which the attention of municipal structures should be drawn.

Mircea Eliade’s Interwar American Project: In his first year spent in India, 1929, Mircea Eliade nurtured two projects related to America, which remained unaccomplished. On the one hand, he was planning a long return trip to his homeland, which would pass through the United States. On the other hand, he considered obtaining a teaching position in an American university, the first target being Harvard. This early American project – hitherto unexplored – becomes symbolic in the perspective of Eliade’s subsequent evolution and choices. Decades later, as a professor at the University of Chicago, he turned down an invitation to occupy a chair at Harvard, which offered him far better conditions and opportunities than those in Chicago. We present here the first results of an ongoing research that tries to clarify all the details related to the young Eliade’s American project.
