Book review

Abstract

Georgiana I. Badea, university professor, hdr. at the Faculty of Letters of the West University of Timișoara, has published a book-synopsis of her constant preoccupations with the theory, conceptualisation and practice of a notion that is already a milestone in translatology and cultural studies in the broadest sense, namely, the notion of culturème, as the title of the work explicitly indicates: Sur le culturème. Twenty years later. A careful reading of the book suggests that it is more than a simple synopsis, a revisiting of key concepts and notions, but rather a quintessence in the etymological sense, a distillation to the fifth degree, of specialist literature.
