OBIECTIVE C.E.T.A.L.

OBIECTIVE MAJORE

a) dezvoltarea competenţelor de cercetare (dezvoltarea abilităţilor de cercetare în echipă, de flexibilizare a cercetării aplicate, de adaptare a standardelor fundamentale la cerinţele practicilor inter- şi transdisciplinare, de circumscriere a cercetării aplicate la nivel local şi regional celei la nivel naţional şi european);
b) realizarea manageriabilităţii cercetării (dezvoltarea practicii realizării proiectelor aplicate, a colaborării instituţionale, a promovării rezultatelor cercetării centrului);
c) asigurarea obiectivelor operaţionale prin analize comparative.

OBIECTIVE STRATEGICE

1. cercetarea (cercetarea fundamentală)
Principalele direcţii de cercetare:
- Semnificaţie – cunoaştere (cu subdirecţiile: 1. de la cuvânt la text şi discurs, de la nume la branding; 2. negocierea semnificaţiilor şi procesele de comunicare);
- Reprezentări sociale (cu subdirecţiile: 1. revoluţii în cultură/schimbare; sine, individ, comunitate, societate; tradiţie şi noutate; gând-vorbire-dialog: disputa dintre sine-celălalt - alteritate; generarea reprezentărilor sociale; 2. limba şi privarea dialogistică).
a. cercetarea aplicată: se vor realiza studii de caz (cronotopia românească – europeană)
b. dezvoltare durabilă: (circumscrisă cercetării fundamentale şi a cercetărilor aplicate) prin studiile şi analizele realizate se explică mecanismele de rezistenţă la procese de modificare a comportamentelor de Consum, Producţie şi Comunicare şi se elaborează strategii adecvate pentru actorii economici şi politici. Cele trei direcţii principale prin care se urmăreşte parteneriatul cu actori naţionali şi internaţionali sunt:
- explorarea reprezentării comportamentelor de adaptare;
- analiza modelelor semio-lingvistice legate de aceste comportamente;
- promovarea culturii locale şi regionale prin cooperare inter-universitară şi antreprenoriat cu mediul economic, social etc.
2. managementul calităţii
3. activitate de promovare
4. produsul cercetării

CALL FOR PAPERS
The third edition of “Individual and Specific Signs” intends to combine contributions coming from different fields: Letters / Philology, Communication Sciences, History, Psychology and Sociology, Economic Sciences, thus leading towards a multi- and transdisciplinary dialogue.
The regional and national cultural spaces, far from constituting themselves into self-sufficient enclaves, enter a process of perpetual communication and redefinition, in the context of this era of globalization that we all experience. The discursive construction of identity is based on complex strategies, which are at the crossroads of some complementary domains, such as psychology, sociology or education sciences. The difference between the poetic Self and the social one, between the one with which the narrating character is designated and the one attributed by the author is studied by the literary, poetic and narratological theories or by the pragmatics of fiction. On the other hand, the human beings, through their constructive qualities perceived as a whole, should not be interpreted individually, but, on the contrary, as an integrative part of a social organization. On the premises of the new European context that reconsiders the unity in diversity and imposes the preservation of the identity marks, our conference also revolves around the idea of social corporate responsibility, of a new identity and of a new civic image.
This is the reason why this year, through the general topic “Cultural Spaces and Identities in (Inter)Action”, we suggest a productive discussion which has at its core the constant implications of the innovative ideas in literature, linguistics, arts, history, philosophy, communication sciences, all envisaged in the process of identity reconstruction. It is important to underline the fact that originality and creativity constitute the vivid and compulsory resources of these changes. An important step is rendered by the labeling of the year 2009 as the European Year of creativity and innovation. Undoubtedly, the efficiency of this approach must be doubled by concrete initiatives, which should lead to consistent results and to multi- or transdisciplinary projects of cooperation, as we expect to obtain from the discussions brought about by our conference.
If the persistence and preservation of cultural values represent an important condition in defining the individual and/or collective identity, it is essential for us, as specialists in socio-humanistic studies, to engage ourselves, from an interdisciplinary perspective, to identify and analyse the implications and the changing potential of the new forms of intercultural dialogue.
