Activism in Romanian public life. Panel discussion moderated by Marius Stoica

“Activism in the Romanian public life” took the form of a panel discussion about the meanings of the term of “activism” in politics, mass media, in academic and artistic circles, in the civic society and in the alternative social communities. We discussed the sense of activism from multiple points of view and also we reflected on the shortcomings that the usage - and over usage - of the term can cause in the Romanian context, especially in mass-media.
Marius Stoica studied philosophy at the Babeş Bolyai University in Cluj and since 2004 is a member of D Media group. He is concerned with the problems that an activist attitude addresses (globalisation, pollution, human rights, etc) and with the alternative contemporary culture (the open source movement, the psychedelic culture, post-left anarchism, etc).
