Immunity to Chaos: How Personal Resources Help Us Cope with the Challenges of a Turbulent World
International conflicts, crises and digital overload—the modern world puts our minds to the test every day. Traditional psychology often focuses on the consequences: anxiety, depression, and psychosomatic disorders. But what if we looked at the problem differently—through the lens of the resources that prevent us from breaking down? Psychological immunity is precisely this set of resources. Alena Zolotareva and her group, Psychological Immunity as a Resource for Positive Functioning, are developing an integrative model of this phenomenon, adapting diagnostic tools and preparing for large-scale empirical research. Why do psychologists need to collaborate with medical professionals, and how could their research transform preventive care in clinics and corporations?

‘Balkan Hospitality Opens Doors: Studying Dialects on the Verge of Extinction
You cannot study spoken dialects from books. Instead, you need to go to a village, seek out its elders, and earn the trust of local residents before you can record hours of spontaneous stories. This is how Natalia Muravleva, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Humanities, conducts her research. Her internship in Serbia continued her long-standing study of dialects spoken by Macedonian settlers. In this interview, she discusses how diaspora cultural centres help researchers reach informants, why native speakers need to be interviewed only in their own language (otherwise, as she puts it, they may 'break'), and how a single field season helped her finalise her monograph. She also shares warm memories of autumn in Belgrade and of colleagues with whom grammar can be discussed in three languages at once.

The Social Status of Romanian Orthodox Noblemen in Late-medieval Transylvania According to Donor Portraits and Church Inscriptions

P. 205–265.
Dragoş Gh. Năstăsoiu
Editor of translation: N. Ş. Tanaşoca, A. Madgearu

À travers le Moyen Âge, le Voïvodat de la Transylvanie et les comtés voisins du Royaume Hongrois représentaient une région de frontière, où quelques groupes ethniques (Hongrois, Valaques/Roumains, Saxons et Székelys) ont coexisté. Deux cultures (Latine et Byzantine-Slave) et confessions (catholique et orthodoxe) s’y sont rencontrées. Intégrés formalement dans la structure administrative du voïvodat et du royaume, les territoires habités par une population valaque/roumaine compacte bénéficiaient en effait d’une autonomie administrative, juridique, religieuse et culturelle en leur conferrant de l’individualité. Les églises que la noblesse roumaine orthodoxe avait fondées pendant les XIV-e et XV-e siècles sur ses propriétés des terrae de Haţeg et Zarand (sud-ouest de la Transylvanie) et qu’elle avait bâties, décorées et dotées selon ses modestes moyens, sont les indicateurs pas seulement de la culture particulière Byzantine-Slave et des possibilités finacières précaires de leurs fondateurs, mais aussi des réalités sociales et des aspirations de ces fondateurs. En examinant les portraits des donateurs et les inscriptions de ces églises, l’auteur analyse les aspects économiques et sociales derrière la fondation des églises. Premièrement,  il cherche à comprendre les raisons des patrons (soit membres d’une seule ou de quelleques familles ou simplement membres d’une certaine communauté) de rejoindre leurs efforts pour accomplir la tâche difficile de la fondation religieuse qui s’étendait parfois sur quelleques générations. Deuxièmement, le patronage religieux illustrait souvent les relations sociales complèxes des acteurs, tout aussi comme la position de la noblesse roumaine orthodoxe dans la hiérarchie sociale et politique d’un royaume catholique, en révélant simultanément le statut social réal et désiré de cette noblesse.
