Abstract: This paper is a review of Elena Ciobanu's monograph "Sylvia Plath's Poetry: The Metamorphoses of the Poetic Self", published in 2009 (Iasi: Demiurg). The review focuses on some phenomenological aspects that E. Ciobanu analyses in her study, by combining literary hermeneutics, linguistics and philosophy. The value of this work resides, among others, in the way in which the author interprets Plath's most famous semantic ambiguities. In Ciobanu's view, the shadow and the stone, two of Plath's most frequently used images, can be seen as the fundamental tropes of suffering that structure the work of the American poet.

Keywords: semantic ambiguity, tropes of suffering, phenomenology, poetic self, body and language.

Abstract: Led by the US’s International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), the Blue Dot network was jointly launched by the US, Japan (Japanese Bank for International Cooperation) and Australia (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade) in November 2019 on the side-lines of the 35th ASEAN Summit in Thailand. This move is seen as a direct counter to China’s Belt and Road Initiative. A trade war is already going between United States of America and China, so in these circumstances, the launch of Blue Dot Network has many implications for China. It provides an opportunity to India also as BRI has not gone well with India’s scheme of things. The path for America led initiative is not going to be easy as it has different set of challenges ahead. Currently, due to ‘Corona- Crisis’, economy is getting badly affected and it will create greater challenges ahead especially for super powers as they have responsibility to show the way ahead.

Abstract: With the rapid development of China’s economy and international trade, China’s national interests are expanding globally, the Sea Lines of Communication (SLOCs) have become lifeline of China’s economy. Rampant piracy in some major sea areas around the world has become one of the major security threats to China’s sea transportation. So in the future, the Chinese Navy will more frequently undertake regular ocean-going escort missions. But in carrying out such mission, the Chinese Navy faces various legal challenges, such as lack of domestic and international legal bases, difficulties in judicial trial of maritime criminals and absence of Standing Rule of Engagement or Standing Rule of Use of Force (SROE/SRUF) for escort missions, etc. so China must make necessary legal preparation through domestic legislation, strengthening international judicial cooperation and making SROE/SRUF in order to provide effective legal support to the escort missions and other overseas operations by the Chinese Navy.
