The scientific event will take place on May 26-27, 2023 and will have as theme: "The current Romanian cultural space – critical resettlements and European confluences", in an attempt to emphasize the importance of the act of culture, of the production, dissemination and reception of literature, especially in the current post-pandemic context, as an undoubted sign of the balance of the human individual in relation to himself and to the world to which he belongs.
 
"We want to emphasize how the Romanian cultural space (with all its components) is redefining itself from the perspective of critical resettlements, without abdicating from the imperative of aesthetics and the relationship of complicity with traditional and non-traditional readers – lovers of printed books or followers of the electronic document. The colloquia organized in memoriam Andrei Grigor, our former Dean, prof. univ. dr. Nicolae Ioana, bring together writers, literary critics, teachers, students, master students, doctoral students and all those interested in the dynamics of current literary writing and its circulation in different cultural spaces", said prof. univ. dr. Nicoleta Ifrim, director of the Doctoral School of Social and Human Sciences and co-organizer of the event.
