INTRODUCTION

Abstract

Under the title Form and Diversity in Representation. Language and Cultural Studies, we propose an issue that collects the contributions of Romanian and foreign researchers from partner universities, whose common feature is the ability to approach new forms supporting the type of cultural content that can relevantly represent contemporary European society and society at large. Thus, the issue celebrates our ten-year cooperation with Aix-Marseille University and with the CAER (Centre aixois d’études romanes) research centre in particular, and illustrates the openness towards languages and cultures that go beyond the Romance linguistic area, specific to this French laboratory and demonstrated by the cooperation with ECHANGES (Équipe sur les cultures et humanités anciennes et nouvelles germaniques et slaves), LESA (Laboratoire d'études en sciences des arts), LIF (Laboratoire d’Informatique Fondamentale) and LPL (Laboratoire Parole et Langage) from the same university.
