încadrare

Încadrare is a Romanian noun derived from the verb încadra, meaning the act of placing something within a boundary, frame, or context. The term is used in a range of domains to describe how objects, ideas, or actions are positioned, categorized, or presented according to defined criteria.

In arts and media, încadrrare (framing) refers to the deliberate composition of a scene or image. It encompasses the choice of what is included or excluded from the frame, the position of subjects, camera angle, distance, and perspective. Framing shapes visual emphasis, narrative focus, and the viewer’s interpretation, and it is a key aspect of photography, cinema, and visual design.

In law and public administration, there is the concept of încadrare juridică (legal incadrare), which means the classification or qualification of an act under the applicable legal provisions. This involves determining the specific offense or regulatory breach that corresponds to the facts, guiding liability and potential penalties. The legal incadrare is a formal assessment that can be reviewed or revised during legal proceedings, particularly on appeal or in light of new evidence or interpretations.

Beyond these domains, the term can indicate the broader act of situating or situating someone or something within a predefined framework, such as a policy, program, or organizational structure. In each context, încadrrare conveys the idea of defining boundaries, criteria, or placement to support analysis, communication, or decision-making.
