Book: Moons and Aurochs: Romanian Journeys 📖

Presented by: Dr Nicola Baird
Part of : a book a week.

This week’s recommendation is Moons and Aurochs: Romanian Journeys by Alan Ogden, a veteran Romanian traveller with an acute ability to unearth stories which would normally be missed.

His erratic, eccentric and erudite journey takes the reader from “the wetlands of the Danube Delta […] through the mountains of Transylvania into the hidden Carpathian valleys of Moldavia” and on to the plains of the Banat, along the way meeting Lipovans, Székelys, Saxons and Houtsouls.

The effect is to view Romania through a constantly rotating kaleidoscope, where colourful historical figures meet equally colourful contemporary characters.

Along the way, the reader becomes familiar with Transylvania, the Danube Delta, the painted churches of Moldavia, the story of the Romanian Royal Family, Carpathian carnivores and shepherds, and many other fascinating aspects of Romania. 📖

Când o poveste românească ajunge pe marile ecrane din Marea Britanie, merită să fim acolo.🇷🇴

Din 9 octombrie, The Yellow Tie/Cravata Galbenă ajunge în cinematografele din UK.

Filmul spune povestea lui Sergiu Celibidache, unul dintre marii dirijori ai secolului XX. Un român care a plecat de acasă, a trecut prin război și exil și a ajuns să dirijeze unele dintre cele mai importante orchestre ale lumii. 🎼

Este o poveste despre muzică, familie, ambiție, iubire și prețul pe care îl poate avea alegerea de a-ți urma propria cale.

Pe ecran, povestea lui Celibidache este adusă la viață de o distribuție internațională din care fac parte John Malkovich, Ben Schnetzer, Sean Bean, Miranda Richardson și Kate Phillips.

Pentru noi, cei care trăim departe de România, există și un motiv în plus să mergem.

De data aceasta, nu trebuie să explicăm noi cine a fost românul din spatele poveștii. Povestea lui este acolo, pe marele ecran, pentru ca și alții să o descopere.

🎬 Din 9 octombrie, mergeți să vedeți The Yellow Tie. Luați-vă familia, prietenii români și, mai ales, prietenii care nu sunt români.

Apoi reveniți aici și spuneți-ne cm vi s-a părut.

📚 What happens when images don’t simply represent bodies, but actively shape how we experience them?

This week’s recommendation is Moving Images, Mobile Bodies: The Poetics and Practice of Corporeality in Visual and Performing Arts (2018), edited by Horea Avram.

Presented by Dr Nicola Baird, the book explores the intricate relationship between image and body, visuality and corporeality, movement and mobility.

As Avram points out, these are flexible and evolving concepts, crossing disciplines from art history and anthropology to philosophy and media studies.

📖 Moving Images, Mobile Bodies brings together international scholars and practitioners to explore corporeality as a discursive field and the ways technology both affects, and is affected by, the body.

Across performance studies, visual arts, phenomenology, perception and media theory, the essays examine themes including the relationship between immediate experience and mediated image, performing the image, the body as fictional territory, memory and presence, interactivity, spectatorship, and the boundaries between public space and intimacy.

💭 Have you read this book? We’d love to hear your thoughts.

And if there’s a book with a connection to Romania that you think should feature in , send us your recommendation.
