Conferința internațională
PERSPECTIVE DIACRONICE ASUPRA CONDIȚIEI FEMEILOR DIN SPAȚIUL EUROPEAN: IMAGINE, REPREZENTARE ȘI REALITATE
IFSGen. Rețeaua pentru cercetarea istoriei femeilor și promovarea studiilor de gen în spațiul românesc vă invită la o nouă conferință din seria Conferințelor IFSGen: Perspective diacronice asupra condiției femeilor din spațiul european: imagine, reprezentare și realitate. Evenimentul va avea loc în 5-6 decembrie 2024 și se va desfășura online. Ediția din acest an reunește 50 de specialiști din universități, muzee, biblioteci, institute și centre de cercetare din România și din străinătate.
Rețeaua IFSGen este rezultatul unui parteneriat încheiat în anul 2022 între Universitatea de Medicină, Farmacie, Științe și Tehnologie „George Emil Palade” (UMFST) din Târgu Mureș, Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai din Cluj-Napoca, prin Direcția Patrimoniu Cultural Universitar (DPCU) și Centrul de Cercetare pentru Identități Teritoriale și Dezvoltare (ITD) din cadrul Facultății de Geografie, și Institutul de Istorie „George Barițiu” al Academiei Române din Cluj-Napoca.
După doi ani de la lansarea proiectului IFSGen, comunitatea noastră a crescut, devenind mai numeroasă, mai temerară și mai convinsă că istoria femeilor poate fi abordată doar printr-un dialog continuu, deschis și interdisciplinar. Ediția din acest an invită la o analiză a multiplelor perspective, uneori comune, alteori antagonice, asupra locului și rolului femeilor în istoriile și istoriografiile europene.
Invitata specială a conferinței este profesoara universitară Maria Bucur, Catedra John W. Hill de Istoria Estului Europei, Departamentul de Istorie, Indiana University, Bloomington, SUA.

Climate and Justice Event at Babeş-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania
Percepția și acțiunile de atenuare și adaptare la efectele actuale și prognozate ale schimbărilor climatice la scară locală și regională
Perception, Mitigation and Adaptation to Current and Future Effects of Climate Change at Local and Regional Level
On the 30th of March 2022, from 5 to 7.30 p.m. EET, an academic debate took place on Microsoft Teams, with the topic Perception, Mitigation and Adaptation to Current and Future Effects of Climate Change at Local and Regional Level. This was organised by the Faculty of Geography and the Research Centre for Territorial Identities and Development, both in Babeş-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The institutional coordinators were Associate Professor Iulian-Horia HOLOBÂCĂ, Ph.D. and Oana-Ramona ILOVAN, Ph.D. The event was part of the Worldwide Teach-In on Climate and Justice, a project of Bard College from New York, the USA, together with the Open Society University Network. Our event was one of the more than 300 Teach-ins on climate and justice throughout the world, which aimed at raising awareness and encouraging action to address the causes and impact of climate change.
Speakers at the debate were academics, representatives of public institutions (Cluj County Council and the Office for Regional Development North-West) and of NGOs (the Association Clujul Sustenabil). They presented the general scientific background on climate change, as well as the activities and projects of their institutions concerning the topic. The urgency of acting against climate change, especially at the local level, was emphasized. Students of the Faculty of Geography, at all levels of study, took the opportunity to ask questions on climate and justice and discuss various issues with the speakers and professors participating at the debate. A total of thirty-two people participated, including five professors, six guests, and university students.
This academic debate was only a step in what the organisers hope to be a series of similar events in the years to come.

Qualitative Research Workshop
Structured Data in Qualitative Historical Research
Speakers:
Vlad Popovici, PhD
Lecturer, Babeș-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca, Department of Modern History, Archival Science and Ethnology;
Researcher, Masaryk Institute and Archive of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague
Angela Cristina Lumezeanu, PhD
Researcher, Babeș-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca, Centre for Population Studies
Within the narrative-dominated field of Humanities, historical research included, structured data is frequently associated with calculations and quantitative approaches, to the point in which traditional historical research makes use of it in very basic forms and with limited explanatory aims. Our presentation focuses on the methodology and qualitative outcomes of employing structured data in the research of 19th and early 20th centuries by means of a general theoretical framework and several historical case studies. The central idea of the presentation is that properly re-structured information from historical sources opens the way for a better understanding of the past and for more intricate historical conclusions even before undergoing statistical analysis, thus being closer to the average historian’s means and perspective.

„Sfânta datorie” – figuri ale angajamentului național în scrisorile
corespondenților la Chestionarele Muzeului Limbii Române.
O abordare antropologică

Academia Română – Filiala Cluj-Napoca
Comunicarea noastră își propune o analiză a corespondenței care însoțește răspunsurile la chestionarele Muzeului Limbii Române din perspectiva reflecțiilor celor care le-au redactat cu privire la participarea la ancheta lingvistică indirectă, menită să colecteze faptele de limbă vorbite, în răspândirea lor geografică. Ancheta, inițiată de Sextil Pușcariu în anul 1922, a cuprins opt chestionare tematice și s-a încheiat în 1939, când s-a înregistrat ultimul răspuns primit.
Corespondența cuprinde documente prețioase privind atitudinea din epocă față de cauza națională. Deși odată cu Marea Unire de la 1918 dispare imaginea naționalismul revendicativ, în discursul intelectualilor se păstrează temele împlinirii destinului națiunii, reevaluate în noul context istoric. În cultura română, până la momentul respectiv, nu se finalizase un dicționar care să-i mulțumească pe specialiști, iar prin scrisoarea cu puternic caracter motivațional, care însoțea chestionarele, sau prin apelurile publicate în presa vremii, Sextil Pușcariu îi invita pe toți oamenii „de bine, care păstrează în inima lor iubire pentru limba românească” să devină corespondenți ai Muzeului Limbii Române. Astfel, locuitorii din diferite colțuri ale României Mari se lasă antrenați de emoțiile patriotice și invocă, la rândul lor elemente ale ideologiei naționaliste. Sentimentul datoriei se obiectivează într-o întreagă constelație de imagini și emoții pe care le vom analiza.
Motivația științifică a cercetării de față este aceea că prin analiza corpusului de scrisori ale corespondenților Muzeului Limbii Române poate fi observat modul în care s-a articulat conștiința națională la nivelul generației de intelectuali interbelici, într-un moment de mare efervescență intelectuală și spirituală.
Această cercetare este finanțată printr-un Grant de cercetare realizat cu sprijin financiar din Fondul Recurent al Donatorilor aflat la dispoziția Academiei Române şi gestionat prin Fundația „PATRIMONIU”, GAR-UM-2019-I-1.5-5/15.10.2019, cod grant 359c/15.10.2019; titlul proiectului: Biblioteca digitală a răspunsurilor la Chestionarele Muzeului Limbii Române.

Environment and landscape are under constant change that transforms land, places, and habitats. Various interests and power relations, considering diverse decision-makers (e.g. public administration, economic and cultural entrepreneurs, citizens, civil society), impact the sustainable management of communities. At the same time, communities’ demands and expectations are to live in a safe and clean environment. This is a challenge to the sustainable management and development of urban and rural areas, and it frees up questions about preserving and (re)constructing attachment to places and maintaining social wellbeing.
Adjustment to change requires local communities to reinterpret their perception on and their attitude towards places. Changes require that we (re)define place meaning and (re)develop place attachment. We understand attachment to place as a set of feelings (lived either currently or as part of memory) about a geographic location that emotionally binds a person to it.
We welcome contributions, from any theoretical perspective, on the following themes, but not limited to these:
· From topophilia to topophobia. From topophobia to topophilia. Local community perception of landscape changes;
· Processes of enhancing the sustainability of communities through place attachment;
· Preserving and building territorial identities and place attachment under new social, cultural and economic challenges;
· Feelings of connectedness and loss in fragile communities, undergoing disruptive changes;
· Tangible and intangible resources for sustainable development and (re)connecting people to places;
· Lessons of success and failure in experiencing new development paths and how people’s place attachment was affected;
· Greening and making a better place. Sustainable development of regenerated landscapes and place attachment;
· Urban bioregions and place attachment. Urban/rural regeneration practices, social capital and activism;
· Home is where my heart is: building territorial identity and place attachment within immigrant communities;
· When place attachment creates conflicts: individual versus common needs. Sustainable use of landscape resources;
· How migration, political and economic changes impact building identity processes and place attachment in a new place;
· Living together – how multicultural and multinational integrated communities contribute to shaping common place identity and individual place attachment;
· Misplaced and rooted out of the homeland – lost landscape in the immigrant community’s memories;
· Building place attachment through educational discourses;
· Quantitative and qualitative approaches to researching place attachment during community transformation.

Qualitative Research Workshop: First Meeting
Rubik – Individual Permutations in Search of Optimal Solutions for Structural Problems
Speakers: Alexandra Mocan & Helga Thies
Fabrica de Pensule/Paintbrush Factory Federation
Rubik is a platform for identifying, connecting and consolidating independent artistic initiatives deeply affected by the aggressive growth of the real estate market in Cluj-Napoca. Configured by the instinct to signal an alarming current that affects an artistic scene that was, until recently, effervescent and to support remarkable but fragile local initiatives, Rubik is formulated as a host space meant to represent multiple identities, like the color palettes of a Rubik’s cube, as metaphorical root of the project. A platform which supports artistic initiatives that face the difficulty of carrying out their activities in a stable space, Rubik can be identified in the cultural scene as a manifest-space that identifies the need to support this sector deeply affected by the expansion of the local real estate market.
Strategically located precisely in a stereotype-space of the real estate market that has destabilized part of the local cultural movements, the initiative seeks to manifest itself precisely in a place with a specific of commandeering the art scene, establishing an inversion process here, a castling – like moving a cube around – movement specific to the cubes that make up the Rubik game.

Special Issue
„Culture, Heritage and Territorial Identities for Urban Development”
Dear Colleagues,
The economic globalization of the recent decades has generated faster rhythms in cities’ adaptation to novelty and consequently triggered customed urban restructuring and regeneration policies and practices. From the 1970s onwards, towns and cities have experienced deindustrialization processes, while seeing a gradual growth of tertiarization and diversification of services, including cultural ones. Until then, culture in relation to cities’ development was important, especially from a historical perspective, in terms of its influence on urban forms and characteristics. With more accelerated socioeconomic dynamics, the role of culture in urban development has grown progressively. With the different, both positive and negative, effects introduced by new cultural interpretations of cities (e.g., culture in public spaces, cultural and creative industries, culture as marketing tools, cultural commodification, etc.), the concept of culture has become increasingly associated with urban image and identity. In finding solutions within regeneration processes, policies often rely on tools from the cultural and creative fields. Additionally, built material and immaterial heritage can have significant roles: e.g., converting heritage sites and buildings through cultural projects or new functions, or capitalizing on specific traditions and place memory for local identity and place attachment.
This Special Issue focuses on cultural approaches in connection with urban development and aims for contributions from various research fields. The volume invites researchers and academics worldwide to publish their original research articles on the following themes, but not limited to these:
– Cultural activities and their role in urban development;
– Cities (re)constructing their identity, relying mainly on culture and heritage;
– Culture as a relevant component of current spatial planning policies;
– Urban strategies, attracting creative people;
– Urban image, heritage and culture;
– Culture, local memory and local identities;
– Heritage and industrial culture;
– Subcultures within cities and processes of urban change.
Contributions have to follow one of the three categories (article/review/conceptual paper) of papers for the journal and address the topic of the Special Issue.

Change and Sustainability. Preserving and (Re)Constructing Place Attachment during Territorial Development Challenges
Organizers:
Oana-Ramona ILOVAN (Faculty of Geography, Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania),
Iwona MARKUSZEWSKA (Faculty of Geographic and Geological Sciences, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan, Poland)
Environment and landscape are under constant change that transforms land, places, and habitats. Various interests and power relations, considering diverse decision makers (e.g. public administration, economic and cultural entrepreneurs, regular citizens, civil society), impact the sustainable management of communities. At the same time, communities’ demands and expectations are to live in a safe and clean environment. This is a challenge to the sustainable management and development of urban and rural areas, and it frees up questions about preserving and (re)constructing attachment to places and maintaining social well-being.
Moving towards sustainability, which refers to human-environment coexistence in harmony, is a challenge for decision makers to meet the expectations of landscape stakeholders. Sustainability also challenges communities and individuals who feel they have to choose between maintaining economic benefits and an environmentally-friendly behaviour to reduce negative impact on landscape and regenerate destroyed landscapes and places.
Adjustment to change requires local communities’ reinterpreting their perception on and attitude towards places. This is true also for re/immigrated societies. Changes require that we (re)define place meaning and (re)develop place attachment.
We welcome contributions, from any theoretical perspective, on the following themes, but not limited to these:
- From topophilia to topophobia. From topophobia to topophilia. Local community perception of landscape changes;
- Processes of enhancing the sustainability of communities through place attachment;
- Assessing the sustainability of resource management based on historically informed and validated human activities and practices;
- Preserving and building territorial identities under new social, cultural and economic challenges;
- Feelings of connectedness and loss in fragile communities, undergoing disruptive changes;
- Tangible and intangible resources for sustainable development and (re)connecting people to places;
- Lessons from success and failure in experiencing new development paths and how were affected people’s place attachment;
- Greening and making a better place. Sustainable development of regenerated landscapes;
- Urban bioregions. Urban/rural regeneration practices, social capital and activism;
- Home is where my heart is: building territorial identity within immigrant communities;
- When place attachment creates conflicts: individual versus common needs. Sustainable use of landscape resources;
- How migration, political and economic changes impact building identity processes in a new place;
- Living together – how multicultural and multinational integrated communities contribute to shaping common place identity and individual place attachment;
- Misplaced and rooted out of the homeland – lost landscape in the immigrant community’s memories;
- Quantitative and qualitative approaches to researching place attachment during community transformation.

Territorial identity involves both the place attachment and belonging and the politics of territorial planning. Various types of identity (place, urban, regional, national, cultural, personal, community, etc.) have been proven to contribute to the identity of place, as these are viewed in relation to its historical heritage and characteristics. At the same time, local identity harbours emotional and symbolic meanings people ascribe to a sense of self and attachment to place.
This special issue starts from a relational, dynamic, and participatory notion of territorial identity. Therefore, it will host the results of original empirical and theoretical scientific research on territorial identity and its representations as constructed through discourses and practices.
We welcome contributions on the following topics of interest, but not limited to these:
- Representations of territorial identity and development: discourses, images, practices
- Heritage management
- Perceptions of territorial identity at various levels
- Constructing, preserving and promoting territorial identities
- Place/regional attachment in time
- (Re)defining place meaning and topophilia
- Territorial identity and territorial planning
- Territorial identity and public policy
- Territorial identity and formal and informal education
- Theoretical contributions for the study of territorial identity within the discourse of Cultural Geography
- Research methodology for the study of territorial identity

Territorial belonging and territorial attractiveness are elements of strategic relevance for development at various levels. Therefore, territorial identity is relevant for building the social capital so useful during the processes of development and territorial planning. The concern about territorial identity and development is part of the same trend that occurred in the academic and political environment after the 1990s, when it became obvious that there was a strong connection between these and environmental, social and economic well-being.
This special issue will host the results of original empirical and theoretical scientific research on territorial identity and its relation to sustainable development.
We welcome contributions on the following topics of interest, but not limited to these:
- Territorial identity and (un)sustainable community development (rural and urban)
- Territorial identity, regional development, and regional inequalities
- Territorial identity and territorial planning
- Territorial identity and public policy (including gender policies)
- Territorial identity and smart communities
- Territorial identity and green economies
- Disruptive changes, resilience, and sustainable development
- Tangible and intangible elements of territorial identity for sustainable development
- Urban and rural regeneration based on territorial identities
- Landscape transformations and sustainability
- (Re)developing place attachment and meaning
- Historically informed practices for resource management
- Theoretical contributions for the study of territorial identity within the theoretical discourses on sustainable development
- Research methodology for the study of territorial identity
