Pe 18 februarie ne întâlnim la al doilea EUNIC Book Club din acest an, ca să discutăm despre romanul Dragostea în timpul schimbărilor climatice globale (în traducerea Hellianei Ianculescu, editura Casa Cărții de Știință). Discuția va fi moderată de Gabriela Georgescu.

 „Dragostea în timpul schimbărilor climatice globale, de Josef Pánek, în traducerea Hellianei Ianculescu, este o revelație. Este o operă literară contemporană cu un flux narativ distinctiv, care încearcă să exprime lipsa de rădăcini a omului modern, în timp ce examinează paroxismul rasismului și xenofobia din perspectiva unui cetățean al lumii. Romanul lui Pánek deconcertează cititorul prin abrazivitatea sa lingvistică și abordarea autodistructivă, egocentrică a protagonistului său, stilul lui narativ fiind la fel de agitat și îmbătător ca orașul exotic în care se desfășoară acțiunea.”(novinky.cz)

Am ales acest roman deoarece prezintă o reflecție originală și puternică asupra zilelor noastre, a lumii interconectate și a stereotipurilor actuale. Subiectele abordate sunt, într-o anumită măsură, universale, ușor de înțeles oricărui cititor, iar stilul narațiunii amintește, pe alocuri, de cel al lui Bohumil Hrabal, chiar dacă Pánek scrie într-un mod intenționat neșlefuit, cititorul trebuind să se imerseze în poveste pentru a o asimila

Adapting is the buzzword of the moment. Facing a drastic drop in the students’ mobility due to the pandemic, the European higher education sector is searching for solutions to keep alive young people’s interest for a studying experience away from home. Brexit could make things easier. In many EU member countries, universities are lowering their fees, providing tempting study offers in order to attract the young Europeans exploring new studying opportunities while the access to the UK universities became more difficult.

The second EUNIC MIXERS debate on studying in the EU opportunities, in times of pandemic and Brexit, invites three experts from Germany, Austria and Belgium. They will analyse the situation in their respective countries and suggest concrete solutions for all of you who intend to study abroad.

This EUNIC MIXERS discussion will take place on February 4, at 6 p.m. Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/993765937813648

EUNIC MIXERS is a series of live, online discussions about the adaptations of the cultural sector to the changes during the pandemic, with guests from European countries, represented by the cultural institutes from the EUNIC Romania network, together with Romanian cultural practitioners. Event organized by EUNIC Romania and Insula 42.

The series “Salon Insula 42” launches informal dialogues with cultural professionals. The guests put into perspective the relationship between people and ideas, people and institutions, in Romania and in Europe. They talk, in an “imaginary salon”, about vocation and trades, cultural, social and political subjects, in a world that is radically transformed.

The 7th discussion focuses on the main changes impacting the film and audio-visual industry in Europe due to the COVID-19 situation, under the theme Funding Films Today. Which is the impact of closing cinema venues all over the world? What concerns and solutions do practitioners from the film industry have during this period? What appears to be the future of film festivals if isolation measures are prolonged? What are the consequences of the generalized use of VOD and streaming services on the production of European film? How is the TV entertainment industry impacted by the COVID situation? Representatives of European countries will discuss the funding films situation at the end of 2020, together with the moderator Corina Șuteu.
