De la iunie 1990 la România fără cărți, de Eugen Matzota ▲ ALTCULTURE MAGAZINE Nr.108, 08/2026 ▲ Noi încă mai credem în cultură! ▲▲▲ ALTCULTURE MAGAZINE Nr.108, 8/2026 ▲▲▲ Noi mai credem încă în cultură! Editorial — by Eugene Matzota Abstract From June 1990 to a Bookless Romania: A society that trades libraries for screen-fed anger and packaged ignorance willingly condemns itself to short memory and voluntary servitude. Drawing a parallel to the social pathology of June 1990—shifting from physical violence in the streets to mass hysterical applause for the manipulation of primal instincts—this essay critiques the modern collective cowardice and rejection of reason. Abandoning books turns humanity into its own executioner, leaving those who embrace darkness with no right to complain when they are ruled by shadows.

Geometria luminii dincolo de ecran, de Eugen Matzota ▲ ALTCULTURE MAGAZINE Nr.107, 07/2026 ▲ Noi încă mai credem în cultură! The Geometry of Light Beyond the Screen Editorial — by Eugene Matzota Abstract: In the editorial of this issue, the author points out that the order of the world has never depended on the whims of the powerful or the scale of characterless technology, but rather on the right angle preserved by a man in silence. From the ticking of brass in 1900 to the cold silicon of our century, the "Great Sifting" continues unabated, while Altculture positions itself as a form of spiritual hygiene and a workshop of the ancient Architecture. Using the square and the compass as living instruments of measure, this editorial is a call to lucidity in an era dominated by noise and screens: an open construction site where the rough ashlar still awaits us all.

Arta de a opri timpul într-o lume care se grăbește să dispară, de Eugen Matzota ▲ ALTCULTURE MAGAZINE Nr.106, 06/2026 ▲ Noi încă mai credem în cultură! Abstract: The Architecture of Resistance – A Manifesto for the 106th Issue of ALTCULTURE Magazine In this editorial, the author addresses a critical turning point for ALTCULTURE Magazine as it marks its 106th issue. Reflecting on nine years of intellectual pursuit, the piece serves as both a reflection on the state of contemporary society and a bold announcement regarding the publication's future strategy. The editorial explores the following core themes: • The Erosion of Depth: A sharp critique of how the "sacred intervals" of human reflection—patience, silence, and memory—are being sacrificed to the brutal speed of digital consumption and the "white noise" of screens. • The Sociological Diagnosis: A poignant observation on the transformation of the Romanian public from a collective with a cultural consciousness into a passive population, leading to the difficult decision to cease publishing dense literary works and essays exclusively for the domestic market. • The Language of Resistance: The author clarifies that while the medium of distribution is changing, the Romanian language remains the fundamental instrument of thought and the heart of the magazine. • The Act of "Building": The magazine is framed not as a nostalgic endeavor, but as an act of moral resistance. By standing against the tide of efficiency-obsessed digital culture, ALTCULTURE continues its mission to provide a space for the "slow time" where true human connection—and true culture—can still exist. The text serves as a manifesto for those who still value the sanctity of the "interval" and confirms the magazine's commitment to continue its journey wherever the spirit has room to manifest, beyond the confines of a stagnant digital wasteland.

Arhitectura Verticalității în Era „Conținutului”, de Eugen Matzota ▲ ALTCULTURE MAGAZINE Nr.105, 05/2026 ▲ Noi încă mai credem în cultură! Editorial: The Architecture of Verticality in the Age of "Content" "DO NOT LET THE WORLD DESIGN YOU – BUILD YOURSELF!" ALTCULTURE MAGAZINE No. 105, 05/2026 Abstract: In this issue’s editorial, the focus shifts from the mere responsibility of building within a chaotic world to an explicit declaration of war against the superficiality of the digital age. The text diagnoses a tragic confusion in contemporary society: mistaking the easy access to information for the mastery of knowledge. By critiquing the current educational and cultural landscape—which favors "surface competencies," algorithmic popularity, and hollow "engagement" over depth and character—the author calls for a return to the "pedagogy of effort." To counter the disintegration of values, the editorial proposes four radical gestures of resistance: the recovery of slow time, the embrace of rigorous discipline, the rejection of egalitarianism in favor of an authentic hierarchy of values, and the necessity of creative isolation. ALTCULTURE 105 stands not as a vessel for "content," but as a manifesto for those who refuse to be mere dust in the wind of algorithms. It is an urgent invitation to every reader to stop seeking shortcuts, to reclaim the right to think clearly, and to assume their duty as the Architects of their own destiny.

Arhitectul de pe Marginea Abisului, de Eugen Matzota ▲ ALTCULTURE MAGAZINE Nr.104, 04/2026 ▲ Noi încă mai credem în cultură! Abstract: In the 104th issue of ALTCULTURE, Eugen Matzota moves beyond the critique of digital chaos to address the imperative of construction. Having navigated the "Great Sifting"—a process of stripping away the superficial noise of the digital age—the editorial posits that true substance resides solely in one’s character. Reflecting on a life spent balancing the weight of history with the pursuit of an "Inner Temple," Matzota discusses his role not as a self-appointed mentor, but as a lantern-bearer in an era of systemic disintegration. The text serves as a manifesto for the "Architect": a call to move beyond the illusion of effortless creation, urging readers to reclaim the precision of thought and the rigor of craft. In an age of "Copy-Paste" conformity, ALTCULTURE 104 stands as a testament to continuity and verticality, inviting those in search of a compass to join a workshop where the digital tool is forced to serve the Truth.
