This is why “knowledge” has been reconstructed as a cluster concept that points out relevant features but that is not adequately captured by any definition. As long as knowledge can only be situated in forms of time, it is doomed to remain truncated and to manifest disjointly. Knowledge’s lack of unity is expressed into different forms of knowledge. Fragmented by the cutouts that allowed its manifestation, knowledge is - whatever type of knowledge we talk about - incomplete, subjective, limited and fragmentary and, in most cases, it is not possible to understand exhaustively a specific domain. That is why, in this paper, we pursue a transdisciplinary exercise, involving science and religion, and an interdisciplinary one, involving disciplines and theories found in the complex systems theory.

The aim of this article is to establish the type of relationship between the two poles and to determine the mediator’s position, by examining how the transmission of francophone literary translations is reflected in Swedish and Romanian journals between 2010 and 2014. Starting from the models developed by Sapiro (2007) and Casanova (2002), this study points out three discourse types: autonomous, heteronomous and hybrid. The first is focused on the international field and overconsecrates the Metropolitan French writers, the second develops a heterodoxical, subversive voice, and the third is hybrid, both nationally and globally oriented. This case study tentatively advances theoretical classifications.

Science has reached nowadays the frontiers of metaphysics, and quantum physics, the levels of reality, the fractals, the holographic universe, the standard model of cosmology, etc. cause human beings to ask themselves again the questions that science cannot answer: Where do we come from? Who are we? Where are we going?

E igualmente para todos aquellos que los cambiarían al principio dentro de su propio escudo hermenéutico: el nihilista subversivo, vigilante de un mun- do en deriva, y el prosista para jóvenes, cínico y amargo, tratando el dicho derivado con los medios del siglo XXI. Al fondo de todo esto hay la misma distancia consigo mismo, la misma angustia vital, el mismo gusto de la consumación a toda velocidad, del sensacionalismo ...

L'héritage traditionnel et l'adstrat français se combinent pour donner naissance à une littérature riche, fracturée, mais ambivalente, infusée de saveurs variées, qui se forge des moyens adéquats d'expression d'une vision moderne et somme toute unitaire.

We especially focus on the mathematical perspective and we highlight the intimate, usual, defining property of the atom of being, in a sense, the essential indestructible, indivisible, irreducible, minimal, and self-similar unity. Using notions, concepts, and results, we try to answer the question \What is the atom?" from a mathematical perspective, offering at the same time a series of possible interpretations and meanings that exceed its strict limits.

Réinventer la brachylogie entre dialectique et rhétorique c'est la définir comme la forme-sens poétique d'une écriture brachylogique.

For a writer, the choice of a "major" language, like French, is problematic because it represents the beginning of a complex process, sometimes conflicting, involving two or several cultural traditions, history and life experience. But it is also a chance to define a francophone polyphonic "space", beyond all geographical or institutional considerations, beyond physical space or concrete time, where a writer (like the Romanian-Swiss one, Marius Daniel Popescu) feels free to develop, throughout a language which is different in many ways from the classical French, a new literature, disregarding traditional genres and ...

A study on the reception of translations of French-language literature in the Swedish and Romanian press – Abstract The transnational circulation of a work is largely dependent on existing translations and the role of the press in its dissemination. This article aims to establish the relationship between these two factors and to define the mediator's position, by examining the reception of translations of French-language literarature in Swedish and Romanian newspapers between 2010 and 2014. Basing itself on the models developed by Sapiro (2007) and Casanova (2002), this study identifies three discourse types: autonomous, heteronomous and hybrid. The first focuses on the international field and overconsecrates the Metropolitan French writers; the second features the development of a heterodoxical, subversive voice; and the third is a hybrid, both nationally-and globally-oriented. Through this study, we observe that there tends to be a shift in ...
