  • Rearticulating Socialist Subjectivities
    Rearticulating Socialist Subjectivities Class and Gender in Romanian Fiction during Communism by Alexandru Demirel Emil Boican Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy School of Slavonic and East European Studies University College London 2016 I, Alexandru Demirel Emil Boican confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis proposes a socio-cultural analysis of the articulation of socialist subjectivities in Romanian fiction during the communist period. The question underpinning my research, therefore, concerns the way in which the literary articulation of subjectivity changed across two historical divides: from the inter-war period to Socialist Realism and from Socialist Realism to the literature of the troubling decade. This thesis will be argued over four chapters, two of which will examine the works of Mihail Sadoveanu while a further two will dissect the works of Augustin Buzura. Through the close reading of the works of Sadoveanu and Buzura, whose careers span the two aforementioned historical divides, this thesis will trace the complex rearticulating of class and gender subjectivities as they evolved throughout the communist period, as well as the importance of the communist regime’s social legacies as regards the understanding of post 1989 social developments in Romania. Central to the communist regime’s project of social transformation was the creation of an egalitarian society by default of the abolition of capitalist classes and gender inequalities. While the regime claimed that the material basis of these inequalities had been eliminated and social emancipation was well advanced, critics considered that the official egalitarian discourse had erased social and individual differences and engendered the so-called “faceless masses”.

Several countries have already . capitalized on the spiraling phenomenon of film tourism. Their governments, airline companies and tourism organizations have initiated measures to promote famous and even previously untapped destinations where the film was set as tourist attractions. South Korea, Turkey, Thailand, the United States of America, United Kingdom and New Zealand are some examples. I In their research entitled "Promoting Destinations via Film Tourism: An Empirical Identification of Supporting Marketing Initiatives" published in May 2006 in the Journal of Travel Research, Simon Hudson and J.R. Brent Ritchie cited increased tourist arrivals in destinations where famous films took place. As cited, the Wallace Monument in Scotland saw a-300% increase in visitors a year after the movie "Braveheart" was filmed which starred Mel Gibson in 1995. "The Lord of the Rings" franchise, filmed in New Zealand, also saw a steady increase of 10% in tourist arrivals from 1998-2003 from United Kingdom alone. The following information are significant (the list of film titles, the film locations and the boost in tourism percentage): • "Steel Magnolias" Louisiana; 48% increase year after release • "Harry Potter" Various
