Abstract

The collective volume is the result of a collective research of the historians from several Romanian university centers presenting a parallel between the past and the way in which the university life was represented throughout history, emphasizing the dichotomy of the university's historiography as an institutional biography and the history of the university as problematic and reflective. The contributors try to emphasize in their proposed paper is that academic space is a sub-unit of society and should be perceived as a mirror of it, a space of tensions and the intersection of society's troubles.
