A historical moment here: the romanian version of Amurg.Romanian Cremation Association's website is available for now on: http://www.incinerareamurg.ro/
I'm very happy and I'm proud to be part of this!
In two weeks I hope we will have the english version of it.

Don't forget: the deadline for submission abstract proposal for our third edition of Dying and Death conference is 15 of May 2010. You can find details in my previous two postings on this blog!

Albaiulianul

The "Albaiulianul" published, in romanian language, a short paper of mine about the actual situation of cremation in Romania. This paper is not a scientific one, but a paper for popularization the practice of cremation and our association, Amurg. Romanian Cremation Association, too. Here is the link to this paper: http://www.albaiulianul.ro/asupra-incinerrii-i-crematoriilor-umane-in-romania.html
I tried to be calm talking on cremation, not burning myself into the feelings' flames!

Review

This is a review of the Proccedings of Dying and Death in 18th-21st century Europe, International Conference, second edition, published in Apostrof, a romanian cultural journal from Cluj Napoca: http://www.revista-apostrof.ro/articole.php?id=1102 *unfortunately this review is written in romanian language. The author, Stefan Borbely is a Professor at the Department of World and Comparative literature of The Faculty of Letters in Cluj, "Babes-Bolyai" University of Cluj Napoca, Romania. This is a very favorable review considering our conference a great succes but Stefan Borbely has doubts that romanian cultural authorities will support us in the future.
