Revista Cercurilor studenţeşti ale Departamentului de Limba şi Literatura Franceză

Hosted by the Bucharest University Press, Revista Cercurilor studenţeşti ale Departamentului de Limba şi Literatura Franceză (RCSDLLF) – ‘The French Department’s Student Research Group Journal’ – is a yearly publication of the French Language and Literature Department (Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures, University of Bucharest), founded in 2012 and opened to contributors among the students of all 3 education degrees the Department provides (bachelor’s degree – licence, master’s degree and doctorate). The journal gathers the best papers authored by members of the Department’s five student scientific research groups: French Literature, Culture and Civilization; French theoretical and applied linguistics; ContrasTER (Contrastive analysis, specialized translations and terminology), CENTRAL (literary translations), and The extreme contemporary literature: the Prix Goncourt. Selections by Romanian Students (a research group organized around the works of the Bucharest Jury that designates the Romanian laureate of the Prix Goncourt, an international cultural event the French Language and Literature Department is part of since 2013). Other contributions presented by our students in all kinds of national or international scientific events are also included. Each contribution is validated by an expert who officially endorses its coordination as well as by a prestigious international scientific committee.

During the past years, RCSDLLF – a unique undertaking in student scientific research on the international level – set rather high standards of excellence for the youngest generation of true researchers, and it was recognized as such not only in Romania, but also abroad. In effect, the journal gained more and more international visibility due to the direct involvement of the French Language and Literature Department, through some elite student teams, in the Jury for the Goncourt Prize. Since 2017, the journal is also open to contributors from other French departments in Romanian universities.

RCSDLLF is a special presence in the landscape of Romanian humanities journals due to the young age of both its authors and of its target audience (bachelor’s degree students, master students or doctoral students). While still very young (most of them just earned their bachelor’s degree), the authors exhibit exceptionally mature analytical and hermeneutical skills, and their papers set genuinely top standards in scientific research that benefit all their colleagues (the main readership of the journal).

All contributions are written in French.

Thumbnail Literary and cultural studies series

University of Bucharest Review. Literary and Cultural Studies Series

University of Bucharest Review was founded in 1999 and has been a constant presence on the Romanian academic scene ever since. Over the years, we have published issues bearing such diverse titles as Fictions of Nature, Genres and Historicity, Durability and Transience, Writing the Self, or Modernity: The Crisis of Value and Judgment which include papers focusing on various topics from the fields of critical theory, literary criticism, social anthropology, British, American and Canadian cultural studies, translatology, comparative literature, the study of nationalism and postcommunism.

We have always encouraged all contributors to approach these topics in an unbiased and open manner, so that their papers would reflect the current controversies on the role of literature in the humanities and in society at large, the contentious relationship between cultural theory and cultural practice, the unstable balance between centre and margin, the elusive nature of truth, the fluctuations of cultural identities, norms and values in today’s world, regarded both as a global village and as a cluster of competing local cultures.

The journal’s originality lies primarily in the following cherished values: 1. inclusiveness: open to both literature-centered, and culture-centered scholarship, both theory, and practice/ applied analysis, and coverage of the entire English-speaking space; 2. pluralism: no theoretical or ideological partisanship, pooling scholars from all areas of the world, all national and academic cultures; open-minded engaging of contentious subjects; 3. extended cultural discourse studies: screening the entire field of applicability for the notion of discourse and discourse studies as a suprasegmental concept, meant to bring together under the same umbrella critical theories, literary criticism, social anthropology, British, American and Canadian cultural studies, translation theories, comparative literature, as well as the study of nationalism and post-communism, visual culture and performance arts.

UBR publishes two issues at the end of each calendar year.
