  • Romania Redivivus
    alexander clapp ROMANIA REDIVIVUS nce the badlands of neoliberal Europe, Romania has become its bustling frontier. A post-communist mafia state that was cast to the bottom of the European heap by opinion- makers sixteen years ago is now billed as the success story Oof eu expansion.1 Its growth rate at nearly 6 per cent is the highest on the continent, albeit boosted by fiscal largesse.2 In Bucharest more politicians have been put in jail for corruption over the past decade than have been convicted in the rest of Eastern Europe put together. Romania causes Brussels and Berlin almost none of the headaches inflicted by the Visegrád Group—Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia— which in 1993 declined to accept Romania as a peer and collectively entered the European Union three years before it. Romanians con- sistently rank among the most Europhile people in the Union.3 An anti-eu party has never appeared on a Romanian ballot, much less in the parliament. Scattered political appeals to unsavoury interwar traditions—Legionnairism, Greater Romanianism—attract fewer voters than do far-right movements across most of Western Europe. The two million Magyars of Transylvania, one of Europe’s largest minorities, have become a model for inter-ethnic relations after a time when the park benches of Cluj were gilded in the Romanian tricolore to remind every- one where they were. Indeed, perhaps the aptest symbol of Romania’s place in Europe today is the man who sits in the Presidential Palace of Cotroceni in Bucharest. Klaus Iohannis—a former physics teacher at a high school in Sibiu, once Hermannstadt—is an ethnic German head- ing a state that, a generation ago, was shipping hundreds of thousands of its ‘Saxons’ ‘back’ to Bonn at 4,000–10,000 Deutschmarks a head.

Memory, Identity, and Otherness in Post-1989 Romania Cristian-Alexandru Cercel PhD School of Government and International Affairs Durham University 2012 3 Abstract The recent history of the German minority in Romania is marked by its mass migration from Romania to Germany, starting roughly in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War and reaching its climax in the early 1990s, following the fall of Communism. Against this background, the present thesis investigates a phenomenon that can be termed “philo-Germanism without Germans”, arguing that the way the German minority in Romania is represented in a wide array of discourses is best comprehended if placed in a theoretical framework in which concepts such as “self-Orientalism”, “intimate colonization” and other related ones play a key role.

However, when analyzing the swift and devastating so- cietal reaction against the communist regime of Nicolae Ceauşescu in December 1989, one is compelled to address a rather simple question: What determined the more pro-active stances by the population against the regime? The answer is by no means simple since Romania did not have a strong tradition of public protest and overt opposition against the communist regime. No opposition ”from below”, on the model of the Polish Solidarity, or ”from above”, on the model of the Czecho-Slo- vak Prague Spring, emerged under the communist rule in Romania. The present study proposes a historical analysis of the way in which international media con- tributed in keeping alive, or in developing, a spirit of opposition towards the re- gime among Romania’s population.

  • The Revolutions of 1989 and the Resurgence of History
    The End and the Beginning: The Revolutions of 1989 and the Resurgence of History (Washington D.C., November 9-10, 2009) Conference participants, titles, abstracts and bios GALE STOKES (keynote speaker) ● 1989 and the Return to History Abstract: What might it mean the return to history? Generally the answer given to this question is that communism’s fall opened the door for East Central and Southeast European countries to return from an unnatural eastward facing geopolitical attachment to their true West European character. But this interpretation has many problems. For example, continental states had little role in the creation of enlightenment principles by the Atlantic-facing countries, so they are not returning to a deeply felt past experience. At a shorter range, the European Union was possible because its founders’ post-1945 experience was one of liberation. Eastern Europe simply experienced the imposition of new kinds of dictatorial systems. When most West Europeans look back at the interwar period, they see it as a foreign land, primarily agricultural, rife with anti- Semitism, dominated by right wing politics. Some East European nationalists, on the other hand, have adopted exactly that experience as their model in what Vladimir Tismaneanu calls fantasies of salvation. Is that the history to which we wish to return? I argue that in fact Eastern Europe is not in some sense returning to a history it experienced in the past, but is rather entering into an era that does not yet have a name, but which Francis Fukuyama called post-history. What Fukuyama meant by his famous phrase “the end of history” is that globalization in general, and the creation of the European Union in particular, has redrawn the rules of how to promote national interests.

  • The Forlorn 1970S Generation of German Writers from Socialist Roman
    Children of the Cultural Revolution "Gone Astray": The Forlorn 1970s Generation of German Writers from Socialist Romania By Adela-Gabriela Hîncu Submitted to the Central European University Department of History in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts.

Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author. CEU eTD Collection i Abstract In this thesis I analyze the discursive legitimation strategies, literary practice and political understandings of the 1970s generation of German writers from the Banat during the 1970s and 1980s Socialist Romania. Reconstructing the context of the German cultural establishment towards the end of the so-called “liberalization period” of the 1960s, I examine the emergence of a generational mode of argumentation through cultural policies driven regionally and from the center. I argue that the crystallization of Aktionsgruppe Banat at the beginning of the 1970s was a process of co-creation responding to the revolutionary appeal of the “July Theses.” In the aftermath of the “mini-cultural revolution” and with the disbandment of Aktionsgruppe Banat, I analyze how the members of the 1970s generation negotiated the experience of violence against their socialist convictions, regrouped around the “Adam Müller-Guttenbrunn” literary circle, and appropriated it as a semi-official institution of the German cultural establishment.
