摘要：Intellectual life has its own temporality, perhaps similar only to the temporality of the geological. For months and years, apparently nothing happens and then, suddenly, it proves that endogenous and exogenous processes that cannot be contained any longer had animated it. Aurel Codoban proves this very well. After a nearly five year period of silence, he brings out not one, but two works at a distance of only few months one from the other: Interpretation Exercises (Cluj-Napoca: Dacia XXI, 2011) and The Empire of Communication. Body, Image and Relation (Cluj-Napoca: Idea, 2011).
