Messages, Sages and Ages is the journal of Silvia Manoliu Association for Anglophone Studies, based at Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava, Romania. The journal welcomes papers representative of the current developments in humanities, linguistics, communication and media, with a focus on the British and American cultures. We welcome papers which elaborate on the contemporary reconfiguration of literary and cultural studies, and, conceivably, of new humanities. Messages, Sages and Ages strives to become a multi-disciplinary forum for a community of scholars, if not sages proper, who seek to envisage new ways of recording human experience in the information technology age. The journal publishes either thematic issues devoted to the key debates of today or regular issues.
