CEU eTD Collection ii Abstract The relationship between the Romanian Orthodox Church and interwar Romanian fascist movement, the Iron Guard had been a Pandora’s Box for both the lay and Church historians. The focus of this thesis will not fall on presenting the reader with a history of the Iron Guard or a history of the Church through the lenses of the Romanian fascist movement. Rather, by emphasizing the interplay between different layers of authority both in the Legion and in the Church, the present undertaking presents a net of negotiations and careful retreats from both sides. Working around the concepts proposed by Roger Griffin, that is fascism “as a palingenetic form of ultra-nationalism” regarding the movement, and “religious fascism” regarding the Orthodox Church’s low clergy derailment to the extreme right, I will show that on terms of ritual and theology the Iron Guard and the Orthodox Church were able to meet by making compromises. The thesis discusses the risk in assuming that the Orthodox Church acted as one, coherent institution, with a clear cut top down decision making process in its relation to the Iron Guard which as its turn cannot be regarded as one but a plurality inside the label. I have thus identified at least four distinct groups, three being active in the devising of this relationship. There is a distinction in how the low and the high clergy interact with the Legion. With regards to the Legion I have focused on an intellectual group that comprised religious minded individuals with direct or indirect ties with the institution of the Church. There was a side in the Legion and also one in the Church who did not involve itself in this relation. The most ambiguous game among all three factions was played by the high clergy. Acting individually in support of the movement or giving the movement the feeling that in the end they will join in officially, the high clergy used the movement in order to further their own political agenda. The most interesting outcome of these relations was the creation of a legionary theology. By projecting the Christian narrative of redeeming the individual to national proportions, the legionary priests and ideologues created something unparalleled in the history of European fascism: a theological synthesis in which the clergy brought its ideas and performed the sacerdotal function of the movement and the fascists brought the promise of a national salvation in the beyond. The coexistence of Christian sacraments with the sacrament of the movement, the need to couple the Gospels with the legionary writings of the Captain, the emphasis on a redeemed community in the beyond, these are few of the elements of this legionary theology. The thesis is shaped into seven parts that move chronologically through the narrative of this relationship. The first two parts discuss the intellectual and religious CEU eTD Collection context of pre and post-unification Romania. The third chapter is focused on the Legion’s first years. Chapter 4 and chapter 5 look into the activity of the Iron Guard after 1934, especially the working camps and the development of legionary theology. Chapter 6 and 7 will deal with the Legion confronted with Moţa-Marin burial and the National Legionary State. iii Acknowledgements While engaged in the research and writing process for the thesis I benefited from the exceptionally generous institutional support of several foundations, research institutes, and individuals. I would like to express my gratitude to the Institut für Europäische Geschichte, Mainz, Germany, the Oxford Brookes University’s Department of History, to the Modern European History Research Center in Oxford and the New Europe College in Bucharest, Romania for supporting periods of work on this research project. I would like to express my profound respect and gratitude to Professor Roger Griffin. It is a complicated web of entanglements European fascism and he guided me through the theory towards understanding the phenomenon as a cultural and social Weltanschauung. Our discussions in Oxford influenced considerably this thesis’ outcome. My professors and my readers have helped immensely in bringing this thesis to fruition. I am particularly grateful for the advice and suggestions of Mr. Sorin Antohi, professor Balazs Trencsenyi, professor Constantin Iordachi, professor Paschalis Kitromilides, professor Robert Evans, professor Marius Turda, Dr. Philip Vanhaelemeersch, professor Sergio Luzzatto, professor Leon Volovici. I would also like to thank my friends and colleagues: Valentin Săndulescu, Cristian Vasile, Narcis Tulbure, Răzvan Pârâianu, Narcis Taşcă, Chris Davis, Roland Clark, Oana Mateescu, Norbert Petrovici, Mirel Bănică, and many others with whom I have discussed my research hypotheses and the outcomes of my research. I owe a great debt of gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Matthias Riedl who took the pains of reading several versions of this thesis, revised and commented on pieces of writing that were imperfect or simply impossible to understand. Much of the comments that I have received and his input furthered my understanding of the intricate mechanism of religion. Finally, I would like to thank Anca for taking the time to listen and to read my text. Her comments and our lively discussions about the topic have sometimes took over our family life and kept us awake until the early hours of morning. During the process of writing the thesis, she was my “drill sergeant”, my source of inspiration, my public and most times my best and most exigent reader. The thesis is dedicated to her.

  • Strategies of 'Aesopian Language' in Romanian Literary Criticism Under
    SLOVO , VOL. 24, NO . 2 (A UTUMN 2012), 75-95. The Rhetoric of Subversion: Strategies of ‘Aesopian Language’ in Romanian Literary Criticism under Late Communism ANDREI TERIAN Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, Romania This paper analyses the subversive strategies of ‘Aesopian language’ with reference to the discourse of the Romanian literary criticism written under late communism (1971-1989). The first two sections of the paper signal certain gaps and inconstancies in defining Aesopian language and in delineating its forms of manifestation; at the same time, they explain the spread of this subversive practice in the political and cultural context of Romanian communism. The following three sections analyse the manner in which Aesopian language materialized in the writings of some of the most important contemporary Romanian critics: Mircea Iorgulescu, Nicolae Manolescu and Mircea Martin. The final section of the study considers a revision of the current definitions of Aesopian language (through the concept of “triggers” theorized in this paper), a new classification of the rhetorical strategies acting globally in a subversive text, as well as a re-evaluation of the relevance of Aesopian language in the context of ‘resistance through culture’, which was the main form of opposition against the communist regime in Romania. INTRODUCTION In the Foreword to his famous pamphlet Imperialism: the Highest Stage of Capitalism (1917), V.I. Lenin cautioned his readers that the paper had been written ‘with an eye to the tsarist censorship’; therefore, he had found it essential to render his subversive doctrine ‘with extreme caution, by hints, in an allegorical language – in that accursed Aesopian language – to which tsarism compelled all revolutionaries to have recourse whenever they took up the pen to write a “legal” work’.

    «Qualestoria» n.1, giugno 2021, pp. 163-186 DOI: 10.13137/0393-6082/32191 https://www.openstarts.units.it/handle/10077/21200 163 Culture, arts, politics. Italy in Ivan Meštrović’s and Bogdan Radica’s discourses between the two World Wars di Maciej Czerwiński In this article the activity and discourses of two Dalmatian public figures are taken into consideration: the sculptor Ivan Meštrović and the journalist Bogdan Radica. They both had an enormous influence on how the image of Italy was created and disseminated in Yugoslavia, in particular in the 1920s and 1930s. The analysis of their discourses is interpreted in terms of the concept of Dalmatia within a wider Mediterranean basin which also refers to two diverse conceptualizations of Yugoslavism, cultural and politi- cal. Meštrović’s vision of Dalmatia/Croatia/Yugoslavia was based on his rural hinterland idiom enabling him to embrace racial and cultural Yugoslavism. In contrast, Radica, in spite of having a pro-Yugoslav orientation during the same period, did not believe in race, so for him the idea of Croat-Serb unity was more a political issue (to a lesser extent a cultural one). Keywords: Dalmatia, Yugoslav-Italian relationships, Croatianness, Yugoslavism, Bor- derlands Parole chiave: Dalmazia, Relazioni Jugoslavia-Italia, Croaticità, Jugoslavismo, Aree di confine Introduction This article takes into consideration the activity and discourses of the sculptor Ivan Meštrović and the journalist Bogdan Radica1. The choice of these two figures from Dalmatia, though very different in terms of their profession and political status in the interwar Yugoslav state (1918-41), has an important justification. Not only they both were influenced by Italian culture and heritage (displaying the typical Dalmatian ambivalence towards politics), but they also evaluated Italian heritage and politics in the Croatian/Yugoslav public sphere.

  • Partidele Parlamentare Si Problema Comunismului Intern Si Extern În Adunarea Deputatilor
    PARTIDELE PARLAMENTARE ŞI PROBLEMA COMUNISMULUI INTERN ŞI EXTERN ÎN ADUNAREA DEPUTAŢILOR (1919-1924) La sfârşitul Primului Război Mondial, România se învecina cu Rusia Sovietică, singura ţară comunistă din lume la acea vreme. Între cele două state exista o situaţie tensionată. Relaţiile diplomatice erau întrerupte din ianuarie 1918, iar apartenenţa Basarabiei la statul român era pusă în discuţie de către sovietici. Mai mult, existau temeri referitoare la o posibilă încercare de comunizare forţată a României, cu largul sprijin al Internaţionalei a III-a. „Rusia eternă” a fost percepută nu numai ca un stat ostil, ci şi ca o sursă ideologică pentru socialiştii români 1. În aceste condiţii, comunismul a constituit subiectul multor analize, mai mult sau mai puţin furtunoase, în cadrul opiniei publice româneşti, inclusiv în Parlamentul de la Bucureşti. Apariţia statului bolşevic şi evoluţiile acestuia au fost privite cu interes. Exceptând zvonurile şi speculaţiile, realităţile sovietice au fost cunoscute în România interbelică. Opere ale liderilor bolşevici 2, discursuri ale acestora 3, mărturii ale unor foşti prizonieri întorşi din Rusia Sovietică 4, articole din ziare româneşti şi străine, au constituit suportul multor dezbateri din Adunarea Deputaţilor. Instaurarea regimului bolşevic a stârnit numeroase discuţii în societatea românească, aflată, de asemenea, într-un proces de transformări sociale şi politice. Diferitele cuvântări şi polemici din Cameră reflectă temerile, speranţele opiniei publice româneşti faţă de viitorul său, privit şi prin prisma prefacerilor politice şi sociale din statul vecin de la răsărit. Singurii deputaţi care şi-au exprimat fără echivoc simpatia faţă de Rusia Sovietică au făcut parte din grupul parlamentar socialist. Această grupare politică minusculă, dar foarte activă, încerca să se impună pe scena politică românească, deşi 1 Deputatul Partidului Poporului, D.R.

  • CONSTANTIN ARGETOIANU GLIMPSES on HIS LIFE Elena
    CONSTANTIN ARGETOIANU GLIMPSES ON HIS LIFE Elena-Mirela Ciuchea Rezumat: Autoarea – pornind de la cercetarea unor informaţii inedite din arhivele craiovene ale familiei Argetoianu, de la memoriile omului politic şi de la ceea ce s-a scris până la această dată – reconstituie principalele momente şi componente ale formării şi afirmării lui Constantin Argetoianu. Anii de studiu, mediul familial, prietenii, aptitudinile, posibilităţile şi disponibilităţile intelectuale, trăsăturile de caracter, interesul pentru studiu şi pasiunea pentru limbile străine, intrarea şi afirmarea în viaţa politică, contextul mai larg al epocii interbelice etc. sunt câteva din aspectele semnificative, decisive ale vieţii, activităţii şi personalităţii sale, pe care le rezumă acest articol. The interwar period in Romania had its political men presented either as “martyrs” of the nation or like some common thieves, forgetting that when it comes to Mother Nature, only few things keep their white or black nuance, everything maintaining rich varied grey nuances … because otherwise the world would be bored, isn’t it? Maniu hasn’t been too nice. Why? His Jesuit face made many people stay aside…still the same “sobriety” didn’t prevent him from washing his hands in a Pillatian way from things on which his whole life philosophy was based on. A lot more likable, but extremely controversial was Constantin Argetoianu, the chameleon of the interwar Romanian politics, the man that managed to show how easy it was to pass from bitter hatred to friendship and admiration, all depending on the interest. This Oltenian boyar, loved and admired by many, hated and sworn by more, tried with the use of some delicious “Memories” to exculpate him in front of history and time.

The following talk was given by George Critchlow on April 25, 2006 at Temple Beth Shalom in Spokane, Washington in honor of Yom Hashoah, the annual remembrance of the Holocaust. Critchlow, an associate pro- fessor at Gonzaga University School of Law and a founder and former director of the Gonzaga Institute for Action Against Hate, was selected by the congregation to represent the “righteous gentile.” Professor Critchlow would like to acknowledge the helpful ideas and background information presented at the Amnesty International USA Lawyers’ Conference at the University of Washington School of Law on February 17-18, 2006. In particular, he was inspired by John Shattuck’s presentation titled “The Legacy of Nuremberg: Confronting Genocide and Terrorism Through the Rule of Law.” I have enormous respect for Temple Beth Shalom, what it stands for, its congregation, and those individuals whom I have come to know and count as friends. I am deeply honored and privileged to be invited to speak to you on this Day of Remembrance–especially in light of the occasion to recognize the 60 years that have now passed since the establishment of a new rule of law and accountability regarding war crimes and crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg Military Tribunal in 1946.
