Abstract: This number of the RJP, the second part of volume XII, will continue the subject of this year – „The Archaic”, and marks a turning point in the Journal’s history. Matei Georgescu, our Managing Director, appears confident that his "offspring" will manage well enough in the future and passes the managerial task on to Gianina Micu. In his farewell speech he plays a real game with "beads of meaning" to also convey, in this implicit manner, that the analyst must be a talented writer.
