Environmental injustice in the political forests of Romania
In this article, we analyze the postsocialist transformations of Romania's political forests through the lens of the environmental justice approach. We do so by examining how environmental injustices are intertwined with the postsocialist processes of land reform, the emergence of conservation narratives, and the reconfiguration of political power throughout this period. We draw on data collected through semi-structured and expert interviews, loc…
Between academic dependency and epistemic marginalization
This paper explores the academic conceptualization of environmental justice (EJ) in post-socialist Eastern Europe (EE) through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of 106 peer-reviewed articles from the early 1990s to 2024. The study focuses on two main directions. First, we examined knowledge production and found that EJ scholarship in EE only gained significant attention after the EU accession of countries in the region. Additionally, research …
Bridging the gap between digital humanities and natural language processing

Our case study focuses on The Digital Museum of the Romanian Novel (DMRN), a digital archi…

Bookster, a Romanian online rental library that mainly services corporate employees and often advertises itself as public library, is taken here as a case study. Capitalist realism is reinforced in this particular case by the fact that a private, profit-driven company successfully assumes the identity of a …
Asemenea hoți înfrățiți cu poporul”
In this paper I examine the discourse on banditry (haiducie) articulated by the romantic elite of 19th century Romania. By relying on the various literary productions of the era, from short stories to memoirs and travel literature, I posit that the image of the noble bandit is rather manufactured by the elite to fit their political agenda, if not actually imported from ready-made west-European bandit models. The reason behind the cosmetic treatme…
