Keeping in line with the previous issue about French cultural influences in Romania, the next issue of Euresis is dedicated to the German influence.
The German Model
in Romanian Culture
If the French Model is integral to modern Romanian cultural history, the German Model is the most important alternative to it. At certain times and in certain regions, it has even been the primary model. The importance of German poets and especially German philosophers of the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries for Romanian intellectual discourse is undeniable and deserves a more thorough analysis. In addition, we encourage authors to submit papers on the theory of cultural influence in general, what it means to be influenced by, how external cultural patterns cross borders (imaginary or not) and are established and adapted, or whether the concept of “cultural influence” might itself need redefining.
Book reviews pertaining to the subject are especially welcome.
Deadline
All papers must be sent to euresisjournal (at) gmail (dot) com by September 10th 2021. We accept submissions in French, English and German.
