CHANGE.WORLD: Defăimarea și reabilitarea ciberneticii
Apariția în traducere în limba română la Editura Humanitas a eseului ‘Dumnezeu și Golemul’, scris în 1964 de Norbert Wiener, mi-a prilejuit ocazia de a cerceta și a cunoaște câteva aspecte inedite ale istoriei ciberneticii și a biografiilor întemeietorilor acestei … Continue reading

time travel (Film: Midnight Cowboy – John Schlesinger, 1969)
Cinematographic anniversaries are trendy. Films made 40, 45 or 50 years ago celebrate their birthdays with digital versions of the original films, sometimes even recovering scenes forgotten on assembly or removed by censorship or self-censorship. It is a great opportunity … Continue reading

historical pretexts (film: Dracula Untold – Gary Shore, 2014)
I’m not a fan of vampire movies. The genre does not interest me at all, and there must be other good reasons to have me sit in front of a screen to see a movie that belongs to it. One … Continue reading

Laurel and Hardy do melodrama (Film: Stan & Ollie – John C. Reilly, 2018)
Since childhood, I’m a passionate fan of the Laurel and Hardy films. They were among the few who were not censored in Communist Romania where I grew up, and we could enjoy a healthy and non-ideological laugh. The pleasure and … Continue reading

amurg de imperiu (Film: Napszállta – László Nemes, 2018)
1913 is a year that fascinates me. It was the last year of an order that reigned in Europe and the world for almost a century, established at the Congress of Vienna that had traced in 1814-15 the borders of … Continue reading

moartea paiaței (Carte: Nicolae Al. Mironescu – Poeme)
Poeții autentici nu se supun categorisirilor și înregimentărilor. Nici etichetele temporale nu li se lipesc cu ușurință, versurile lor dialoghează de multe ori cu ideile și sentimentele poeților și cititorilor din alte generații, fie privind adânc în trecut, fie aruncând … Continue reading

a controversial posterity (Film: Golda – Sagi Burnstein, Udi Nir, Shani Roznes, 2019)
