Katalin Lajos, Enikő Pál, Judit Pieldner, Zsuzsa Tapodi (eds.): Diskurzus, kultúra, reprezentáció / Discurs, cultură şi reprezentare [Discourse, Culture, Representation]

At the dawn of modernity, Giambattista Vico or Johann Gottfried von Herder already expressed the thought ─ taken up also by contemporary theorists from George Steiner through David Damrosch to Jacques Derrida ─ that self-discovery can be attained through studying the other, the continuous connection of the various languages and cultures  exerting a fruitful effect upon each other. The Hungarian- and Romanian-language studies comprised in the present volume look into literary interconnections, intercultural transfers, intermedial phenomena, the literary and cultural values of Eastern and Central Europe, as well as the processes of interlinguistic permeability, convergence, and mediation.
