Book launch and debate: 'The Klaus Iohannis Era?'
ro /
Tuesday,16 December – 6 pm.
tranzit. ro/Cluj, Napoca str, no 16, 1st floor, Cluj Napoca
On December 16, starting at 6 p.m. tranzit.ro/Cluj in collaboration with Tact Publishing House is organizing a public debate and the launch of the book "The Klaus Iohannis Era?"
However difficult and problematic it may be to choose a historical milestone that marks the beginning of the political crisis that led to the rise of the far right and the 2024 elections, we must admit that the chosen periodization influences the explanation. Given the title of this book, it is clear that in what follows we will focus on the question of whether or not there is a "Klaus Iohannis era." Therefore, we believe that there is a structural link between Iohannis's terms in office and the mismanagement of the multiple crises in Romania between 2014 and 2025. What defines the period in question? What are the effects of the resulting public uncertainty? And how can we think about these transformations beyond the limits of methodological nationalism, so that we can more flexibly frame them within the coordinates of the current international polycrisis?

Reading Seminar
Alexandr Bogdanov’s Tektology / ro /
Friday,12 December – 6 pm.
tranzit. ro/Cluj, Napoca str, no 16, 1st floor, Cluj Napoca
On December 12 from 6 pm. at tranzit.ro/Cluj we are holding a reading seminar on Alexandr Bogdanov’s Tektology. The seminar continues the project started with last year’s Reading Ilyenkov: a critical-philosophical examination of the origins and later developments of Eastern Marxism. A prolific and original thinker, Bogdanov opened multiple paths for critical inquiry—ranging from organizational theory and proto-cybernetics to science-fiction and Proletkult—while grounding his project in a distinctive, idealist rereading of Kant. Today, Bogdanov is experiencing a renewed international interest. The seminar will explore the reasons for this resurgence and critically examine his contributions. The December edition’s topic is the managerial views of Alexandr Bogdanov.
The conveners of the seminars are Siyaveș Azeri and Alex Cistelecan, and events will be held in English.
These seminars are part of the project "Philosophy in Late Socialist Europe: Theoretical Practices in the Face of Polycrisis" (PNRR-C9-I8-CF104/15.11.2022).

Raut: hannah baer's Memoir is a Ketamine Travelogue Through Transition
Interview with Paula Gogola, Richard L. Kramár, and Eva Kozáková about the book trans girl suicide museum / cz /
The publishing house tranzit.cz has just released a Czech translation of the memoir by New York author and psychologist hannah baer, trans girl suicide museum. In the ninth episode of the Raut podcast, we talk to painter Paula Gogola, whose work appears on the book cover, and to the author of the afterword, poet, director, and librettist Richard L. Kramár. We discuss the metaphor of the museum, identity politics, even queer opera. The book addresses the use of ketamine, a dissociative psychoactive substance popular among trans people, which is why we invited Dr. Eva Kozáková, who works as a therapist at the Psyon psychedelic clinic, specializing in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.

Yasmeen Al-Qaisi & Sujatro Ghosh: Nourishment, Kinship, and Hope / ro /
Friday, 5 December 2025, 6-8 pm
The Legacy, Gazelei Str. 44, Bucharest
Sujatro Ghosh explores hunger not as absence but as political construction, tracing the afterlives of the Bengal Famine of 1943 in contemporary land struggles from India. Through the cultural significance of Annapurna, understood not as a distant goddess of nourishment but as a cultural framework, nourishment is seen as a right and as something political, spiritual, and relational, while rice as an archive and cosmological element. The result is a form of political theory connected to the global food sovereignty struggles, one that is inviting practices of learning from each other through land, care, community, and shared abundance. Yasmeen Al-Qaisi shares reflections, sounds and voices from a unique trajectory of finding and carefully relating to sources of nurturing and communion, by listening and learning from the wise grandmother from Teleorman and from night workers, from Ottoman and Arabic legacies, from peatlands in Lithuania, mines in Brazil, and the cohabitation with storks.
