Carla Baricz recently visited Cluj-Napoca as a guest lecturer at Babeș-Bolyai University, where she gave two talks: one in the English Department and one in the Department of Romanian Literature. In the course of her first talk, intended for a general student audience and entitled "What is a Dramatic Text? Playing Shakespeare, Reading Shakespeare, Making Shakespeare," she spoke about the materiality of the textual forms in which we encounter Shakespeare's work and the role of printers, stationers, and editors in "making" the Shakespeare that we have come to know and love. In her second talk, addressed to faculty and doctoral students and entitled "Ion Budai Deleanu: An American Re-Reading," she compared Ion Budai Deleanu's Tiganiada with a number of other European epics, from Virgil's Aeneid to Joel Barlow's Columbiad, discussing the cultural and political stakes of Budai-Deleanu's Enlightenment project. While in Cluj, Carla had the opportunity to exchange ideas and discuss her research with faculty members from both departments, to visit the Cluj National Theater and the Cluj Botanical Gardens, to enjoy the city's wonderful Old Town, and to see the astonishing exhibit „Romania's Ancient Gold and Silver” at the Cluj-Napoca Art Museum.
