  • Interethnic Discourses on Transylvania in the Periodical “Provincia”
    DER DONAURAUM Andrea Miklósné Zakar Jahrgang 49 – Heft 1-2/2009 Interethnic Discourses on Transylvania in the Periodical “Provincia” Introduction The status quo of nation states has to face several significant challenges nowadays. One of these problems is bi-directional. The nation states formed in the 19th century are compelled to exist in an environment which oppresses their existence and functioning with new obstacles. They have to take account of the economic, social, cultural and com- munication changes and impacts caused by the globalisation processes. Through these transformations the state borders have become increasingly transparent and symbolic. The globalisation processes are enhanced by the appearance of macro-regional entities, such as the European Union with its single market. States taking part in the supranational decision-making mechanism of a macro-regional entity lose a part of their sovereignty. Under such circumstances the modern nation state is required to redefine itself, because its old “content” and operational mechanisms no longer assure appropriate function- ing. In addition the traditional confines of nation states have to face problems coming from the sub-national direction, raised by the regions themselves. In many cases sub-national territories, micro-regions or regions express a political will that sometimes results in the transformation of the nation state (e.g. the cases of Scotland, Catalonia or South Tyrol). “It seems that under the economic, politic and cultural influences of globalisation the traditional nation-state of the 19th century is too complex to resolve the problems of communities living on the sub-national (local and regional) level. At the same time a nation-state is too small to influence the globalisation processes from above.”1 Coming from the level of regions, regionalism is a bottom-up process expressing the will of the society (or a part of the society) living on that territory.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT The subject of this thesis is the development of a literary culture among the Romanians in the period 1829-1890; the effect of this development on the Romanians’ drive towards social modernization and political independence; and the way in which the idea of literature (as both concept and concrete manifestation) and the idea of the Romanian nation shaped each other. I concentrate on developments in the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia (which united in 1859, later to form the old Kingdom of Romania). I begin with an outline of general social and political change in the Principalities in the period to 1829, followed by an analysis of the image of the Romanians in European public opinion, with particular reference to the state of cultural institutions (literacy, literary activity, education, publishing, individual groups) and their evaluation for political purposes.

  • Museo Archeologico Nazionale Reggio Calabria 27–29Marzo 2019
    ASSOCIAZIONE ITALIANA DI ARCHEOMETRIA CONVEGNO TEMATICO MUSEO ARCHEOLOGICO NAZIONALE REGGIO CALABRIA 27 – 29 MARZO 2019 Carissimi, Il convegno AIAr 2019, avrà luogo all’interno della splendida cornice del Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Reggio Calabria, recentemente inserito tra i cinque Musei di arte antica più belli ed entusiasmanti d’Italia. Obiettivo del convegno è promuovere il confronto fra ricercatori, studiosi ed operatori che lavorano nel campo della ricerca per i Beni Culturali, focalizzando l’attenzione sulle nuove tecnologie, i materiali innovativi e le strategie adottate per la diagnostica e la conservazione dei beni conservati ed esposti in ambito museale. E’anche la prima volta che un convegno AIAr esce dalle accademie e dagli istituti preposti alla ricerca per spostarsi all’interno di un Museo determinando in qualche modo un’inversione di punto di vista. Come ogni evento che l’AIAr, ormai da decenni propone, anche questo convegno vuole essere occasione per far risaltare l’importante ruolo che la divulgazione e la diffusione delle metodologie scientifiche applicate allo studio del patrimonio culturale possono giocare nella conoscenza, nella fruizione e nella valorizzazione del nostro patrimonio culturale. Ulteriore momento di approfondimento sarà la tavola rotonda prevista per il 28 marzo dal titolo: L’archeometria: un valore aggiunto per la valorizzazione dei musei, con la partecipazione di alcuni direttori di importanti strutture museali italiane e di scienziati e studiosi, nella quale saranno analizzate le migliori e più innovative strategie di valorizzazione dei numerosi reperti presenti nei musei, enfatizzando la necessità di lavorare in team multidisciplinari per raggiungere l’obiettivo di una maggiore fruizione del patrimonio culturale.

Trubceac A key social driver in The Republic of Moldova, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, has been the establishment of a state education system that emphasizes cultural pluralism and interculturalism. Educational research about the Republic of Moldova shows an increased motivation among contemporary secondary education social studies teachers to incorporate multicultural education and to enhance their professional skills in helping students to deal with violence, conflicts, and interethnic, linguistic, and cultural tensions. In the Republic of Moldova, secondary education social studies are required by the state education system to teach civic and citizenship education for the purpose of developing a harmonious society. However, there are no formal or required multicultural and peace education dimensions in Moldova’s system of education.

  • Collective Memory and National Identity in Post-Communist Romania: Representations of the Communist Past in Romanian News Media and Romanian Politics (1990 - 2009)
    COLLECTIVE MEMORY AND NATIONAL IDENTITY IN POST-COMMUNIST ROMANIA: REPRESENTATIONS OF THE COMMUNIST PAST IN ROMANIAN NEWS MEDIA AND ROMANIAN POLITICS (1990 - 2009) A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Constanta Alina Hogea May 2014 Examining Committee Members: Carolyn Kitch, Advisory Chair, Journalism Nancy Morris, Media Studies and Production Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Journalism Mihai Coman, External Member, University of Bucharest © Copyright 2014 by Constanta Alina Hogea All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT My dissertation situates at the intersection of communication studies and political sciences under the umbrella of the interdisciplinary field of collective memory. Precisely, it focuses on the use of the communist past by political actors to gain power and legitimacy, and on the interplay between news media and politics in shaping a national identity in post-communist Romania. My research includes the analysis of the media representations of two categories of events: the anniversaries of the Romanian Revolution and the political campaigns for presidential/parliamentary elections. On the one hand, the public understanding of the break with communism plays an important role in how the post-communist society is defined. The revolution as a schism between the communist regime and a newborn society acts like a prism through which Romanians understand their communist past, but also the developments the country has taken after it. On the other hand, political communication is operating on the public imaginary of the past, the present and the future. The analysis of the political discourses unfolded in the news media shows how the collective memory of the communist past is used to serve political interests in the discursive struggle for power and legitimacy.
