Phantasma Debates
Editor: Corin Braga
The members of the Center for Imagination Studies organized a series of dialogues, starting from 2002. Each member presented an original concept he/she was working on, and then his colleagues started a dialogue and a debate around it. The concepts discussed during these round tables were: The anarchetype (Corin Braga), Deprogramming the Brains (Ruxandra Cesereanu), Places of Memory (Ovidiu Pecican), Cultural Resistence (Sanda Cordoş), Quality Methods in Image Analysis (Doru Pop), Transition and Reconstruction of the Civil Society (Marius Jucan), Fiction (Mihaela Ursa), Three-head Postmodernism (Cornel Vâlcu), Phenomenological Aesthetics (Horea Poenar) and A No-Memory Generation (Ştefan Borbély). The debates were published in a volume entitled Concepts and Methods for Imagination Studies, with Polirom Editing House in Iasi.
