ABSTRACT Dynamic Civil Religion and Religious Nationalism ABSTRACT Dynamic Civil Religion and Religious Nationalism: The Roman Catholic Church in Poland and the Orthodox Church in Romania, 1990-2010 Mihai Iustin Tarţa, Ph.D. Mentor: Daniel P. Payne, Ph.D. This dissertation addresses the association of national identity and religious tradition of the Polish Roman Catholic Church (PRCC) in Poland and the Romanian Orthodox Church (ROC) in Romania, and analyses the evolution and the contemporary significance of sacralized politics. This study relies on a historical comparative study of two most similar cases and it tracks the evolution and analyses the discourse of the PRCC and ROC, the state’s discourse, and the presence of religious symbols in state institutions. Using an interdisciplinary comparative method, this study is about the civil religious attitude of the two ecclesiastical institutions in relation to the nation-state and national identity in the post-communist period (1990-2012). It looks specifically at the relevance of religion in connection to nationalism, the official and unofficial discourse of the two ecclesiastical institutions, at politician’s discourse, and lay intellectuals’ discourse. The sacralization of politics concept best explains the gap between the high religiosity professed by Poles and Romanians and the low participation in religious life and pertains to the salience of civil religion in the detriment of “traditional” religion. Therefore, this dissertation asks what is the relation between religion and politics concerning the fusion of sacred ecclesiastical identity and national identity in Poland and Romania. The molding of religion and politics in the sociopolitical and historical context of the nation- state describes a dynamic phenomenon where the nation becomes sacred and the sacred becomes nationalized. It demonstrates that the molding of nationalism and religion materialized in civil religion, political religion and religious nationalism and it indicates a historical debate regarding the proper place of religion in public. In both countries, there was competition and shifts between banal civil religion and more assertive forms like political religion and religious nationalism. Poland and Romania first expressed their national identity by using a civil religious discourse with religious nationalist accents, than this discourse partially shifted towards political religion under the authoritarian Communist regimes and it reemerged as a banal civil religion after 1989.

The identity quest might vary in form, substance and intensity1 and scholars have wondered if the richness of the category of religion and the protean shapes of nationalism are enough to mold new hybrids of religious-national identities. The molding of religion and politics in the sociopolitical and historical context of the nation-state describes a dynamic phenomenon where the nation becomes sacred and the sacred becomes nationalized. Therefore this dissertation asks what is the relation between religion and politics concerning the fusion of sacred ecclesiastical identity and national identity in Poland and Romania. It looks specifically at the relevance of religion in connection to nationalism, it analyses the occurrence of those events where religious tradition and national identity fuse, and finally looks at the attitude of the two ecclesiastical institutions in relation to the nation-state in the post-communist period (1990-2012). The main finding is that in the two ecclesiastical institutions religion matters more as carrier of national goals and identities rather than carrier of piety. Therefore, national identity and religious identity combine in various ways. This study attempts to demonstrate that this 1 Samuel P. Huntington, Who Are We?: the Challenges to America's National Identity (New York: Simon & Schuster, 2004), 13. 1 molding of religious-national identity was achieved in two ways: one is through the creation and preservation of an omnipresent civil religion and the other way is the creation and maintenance of two versions of civil religion that are more assertive: political religion and religious nationalism. Nation-states’ existence show the pervasiveness of nationalism, and in degrees, on an imaginary nationalistic scale, there is a difference in tension between civil and political religion, and in addition there is a quantitative difference between banal-inward civil religion and assertive-outward religious nationalism. Civil-religion seems to be employed in times of distress, or moments of high intensity of nationalism, and political religion seems employed as a totalizing dogma for an indefinite time horizon, or for as long as some interested actors uphold its power. Compared to religious nationalism, civil religion is a form of banal nationalism that contrasts with the explicit and potentially destructive religious nationalism. This study argues that Poland and Romania have come to express their national identity by using a civil religious discourse based on their religious traditions and majority religion, and it describes

  • Planul Integrat De Dezvoltare Urbana (Pidu)
    Bucharest Central Area Integrated Urban Development Plan 1. Recovering the urban identity for the Central area. Today, for many inhabitants, the historic center means only the Lipscani area, which is a simplification of history. We are trying to revitalize and reconnect the different areas which constitute the center of Bucharest, from Victory Square to Carol Park, having the quality of urban life for city residents as a priority and trying to create a city brand for tourists and investors. 2. Recovering the central area located south of the Dambovita river. Almost a quarter of surveyed Bucharest residents had not heard of areas like Antim or Uranus, a result of the brutal urban interventions of the 1980s when, after intense demolitions, fragments of the old town have become enclaves hidden behind the high- rise communist buildings. Bridges over Dambovita disappeared, and whole areas south of the river are now lifeless. We want to reconnect the torn urban tissue and redefine the area located south of Dambovita. recover this part of town by building pedestrian bridges over the river and reconstituting the old ways of Rahovei and Uranus streets as a pedestrian and bicycle priority route. 3. Model of sustainable alternative transportation. Traffic is a major problem for the Bucharest city center. The center should not be a transit area through Bucharest and by encouraging the development of rings and the outside belt, car traffic in the downtown area can easily decrease. We should prioritize alternative forms of transportation - for decades used on a regular basis by most European cities: improve transportation connections and establish a network of streets with priority for cyclists and pedestrians to cross the Center.

  • Frontiers of Romania: Nationalism and the Ideological Space of the Roman Limes
    Print: ISBN 978-1-78491-763-0 Online: ISSN 2531-8810 EX NOVO Journal of Archaeology, Volume 2, December 2017: 63-83 63 Published Online: Dec 2017 Frontiers of Romania: Nationalism and the Ideological Space of the Roman Limes Emily R. Hanscam Dept. of Archaeology, Durham University Abstract Modern Romania is a nation-state containing space which has long been considered marginal - first as part of the Roman Empire and now within the European Union. The national narrative of Romania highlights this liminality, focusing on the interactions between the Romans and the local Dacians on the northeastern border regions of the Empire. Romania still contains significant material remnants of the Iron Age, including the Roman Limes, a series of fortifications on the Danube River meant to protect the Roman borders. As such, the archaeological tradition of this geographic space is heavily entangled with Romania’s identity as a frontier region. This paper outlines the formation of Romanian national space, focusing on the period between the seventeenth century and 1918. It considers the relationship between the materiality of the Roman Limes and ideological frontiers in Romania, examining the role of archaeology in the sustainment of the Romanian nation space. Keywords: Romania, Frontiers, Roman Limes, Ideological Space, Nationalism Introduction The foundation of the Romanian nation-state in the nineteenth century was a declaration that the intellectual elite of southeast Europe chose to orient themselves towards the West rather than the Ottoman East. Romania (Figs. 1, 2) achieved international recognition of political sovereignty in 1881, escaping subjugation by the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Russian Empire as well as the Ottomans.

  • Some Elements of the Bulgarian Influence on Aromanian Onomastics
    SOME ELEMENTS OF THE BULGARIAN INFLUENCE ON AROMANIAN ONOMASTICS Dumitru CARABAŞ “Ovidius” University of Constanţa Abstract The onomastics material that I will present shows us that Aromanian anthroponymy incorporates Bulgarian elements from the Balkan context amid which it has developed, in two stages: the profound or early one and the new or recent one. Living with the Bulgarians has been a long period, beginning with their arrival on these lands in the 7th century, and continuing to this day. The fact that Aromanian anthroponymy retained especially surnames, as influences of Bulgarian origin, shows that these loans were made officially, dating back to the old period, of the Vlach-Bulgarian Empire, continuing until now, at least as far as the Aromanians in Bulgaria are concerned. The loans from Slavic were made chiefly from southern Slavic and especially from Macedonian. The local Slavic influence, namely Serbian-Macedonian within the Yugoslavian space, Bulgarian in Bulgaria, is continuous and has different intensities from one location to another, from one social group to another, from one family to another, from one speaker to another. Key words: Aromanians , onomastics , anthroponymy , Balkan , Bulgarian influences Résumé Le matériel onomastique qu’on va présenter montre que l’anthroponymie aroumaine intègre des éléments bulgares du contexte balkanique où elle s’est développée en deux étapes: celle profonde ou de début et celle nouvelle ou récente. La cohabitation avec les Bulgares a duré une longue période, à partir de leur arrivée sur ces territoires au VII e siècle et jusqu’à présent. Le fait que l’anthroponymie aroumaine a conservé en tant qu’influences bulgares spécialement des noms de famille montre que ces emprunts se sont faits officiellement, depuis l’ancienne période de l’empire Vlacho-Bulgare, et jusqu’à présent, tout au moins jusqu’aux Aroumains de Bulgarie.
