LABOR MIGRATION AND INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE IN POSTSOCIALIST RURAL ROMANIA A dissertation presented by ALIN RUS Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Massachusetts Amherst in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Anthropology © Copyright by Alin Rus 2018 All Rights Reserved LABOR MIGRATION AND INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE IN POSTSOCIALIST RURAL ROMANIA A dissertation presented By ALIN RUS Approved as to style and content by: ________________________________ Krista Harper, Chair ________________________________ Jacqueline Urla, Member ________________________________ Richard W. Wilkie, Member ________________________________ Jacqueline Urla, Chair Anthropology Department For my patient wife and my caring parents ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation is based on research funded by the National Science Foundation‘s Office of International Science and Engineering, and by the UMass Amherst Department of Anthropology, through European Field Studies Program, Cultural Heritage in European Societies and Spaces - Multiculturalism, Migration, and Heritage in Europe, Award #OISE- 0968575. Besides, the Graduate School and the Department of Anthropology of the Massachusetts Amherst University offered me six travel grants allowing me to take part in a series of cultural heritage conferences organized in America, Portugal, England, and Mexico, that broadened my horizons and improved my knowledge of heritage studies. The Township Hall of Heleșteni also provided me with constant logistical support, without which this research could have never achieved its objectives. The same logistical support was provided to me by the leadership of the two schools in the Heleșteni comună when I implemented two educational events involving the schools' pupils: a photo elicitation and an essay writing event on international labor migration topic. I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Krista Harper, for her intellectual guidance, insightful comments on my papers, for her patience and investment of time and energy into seeing the finalization of a project distant from the current trends and directions in Cultural Anthropology. Many thanks go to Dr. Jacqueline Urla for her suggestions, advice, and comments on my papers during many years in a row. I owe many thanks to Dr. Richard W. Wilkie who encouraged my creative thinking, and who believed from the beginning in my strength to accomplish a project that seemed difficult to comprehend during its first phases. I will always be grateful to my good friend and committee member in the first phase of this dissertation, Dr. David A. Kideckel. He has constantly encouraged me to work hard, while at the same time making me aware that a few ideas and arguments in my dissertation, although self-obvious to me, could not be that clear for those who might read my work. I thank Dr. Ventura Perez, too, who gave me many valuable ideas in the field of the Anthropology of Violence. Several other professors from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Anthropology Department, have given me their advice, comments and thoughts for shaping parts of this project. Among them, I would like to mention Dr. Bob Paynter, Dr. Elizabeth Chilton, Dr. Kevin Anderson, Dr. Michael Sugerman, Dr. Felicity Aulino, and Dr. Neal Silberman. In this list of professors, I must add the name of Dr. Cristina Amescua, from the National University of Mexico's Regional Center for Multidisciplinary Research. She was the v organizer of several Intangible Cultural Heritage conferences in England and Mexico where we had an interesting exchange of ideas on heritage themes. I also owe my whole gratitude to Dr. Bogdan Neagota and Dr. Ileana Benga, two Romanian friends and collaborators, founders and members of the ethnological association Orma Sodalitas Anthropologica. Throughout my doctoral years, I had a fruitful exchange of ideas with both of them, and that helped me outline and clarify some concepts and theories of European Folklore. Bogdan was for me not only a simple friend and collaborator but also a spiritual master from whom I had learned enormously all these years. He is a man who created around him and his ideas a real school of ethnology and folklore in Cluj-Napoca city. I owe the same acknowledgement to two friends and collaborators from Indiana University, the doctoral students Elena Popa and Julian Carrillo who, during the last few years, read various parts of my thesis and generously offered me their advice and ideas. I have to add to this list the name of Dr. Monica Heintz, my friend, and collaborator for more than a decade. In December 2010 - January 2011, we worked together in the villages of Heleșteni to make the filming of the documentary Behind The Masks. It was a fruitful collaboration that ended with a 44-minute film about Pantomimic Mummers in this rural locality. All these extraordinary friendships and fruitful collaborations proved once again that I was a lucky man. I owe special thanks to my childhood friend Ioan Apostu, and also a member of Orma Sodalitas Anthropologica. Along with him, I started the first phase of my field research for this project. In addition to this, he has always helped me to systematize and archive my substantial video material collected from the field, consisting of videos and photos. Do not think your efforts will be forgotten, my friend! I had an excellent cooperation with Elena Cărbunaru-Butușină, a professional translator and reliable collaborator. She was the one who struggled with translating some Romanian carols, wishes and folk expressions into English. She also read my entire dissertation and often gave me her advice as a philologist and connoisseur of Romanian folklore when translating to English expressions and concepts from the local folklore of Romanian peasants. I owe a special gratitude to the entire Hâra family in Heleşteni: Constantin, Doinița, Evelina, and Dana. During my repeated stays in their village, they always hosted me and vi offered me the warmth and hospitality of their home and, above all, their expertise in the field of local traditions. Besides them, Florin Chiperi and his wife Andreea always offered me their unconditional support and knowledge in understanding local culture. I am connected to these two families not only through a close collaboration, but also through a friendship for life. In Ukraine, I also owe thanks, together with my appreciation, to Mr. Gheorghe Stratulat and Ms. Olga Bruja Avdochimova, together with her whole family. They impressed me with their hospitality, openness and kindness. If all people were like them, we would all live in a better world today. Next to these close friends, I am also grateful to many people from Heleșteni, Ruginoasa, Cucuteni, Strunga, Crivești, Sticlăria, Bădeni, Iași, Sarmisegetusa, Crasna, Carapciu, Patrăuții de Sus, and Cernăuți. Their simple enumeration would cover almost an entire page. By their side, I experienced moments of intellectual satisfaction accompanied by the joy of understanding the rural world and the humanity of the people within it. Many of them generously offered me the hospitality of their home at least for a few hours. Some of them, older ones, are now gone to the world of shadows, but I hope their voice will remain forever alive in the pages of this study. All of them have made me think differently and change from the one I was at the beginning of this project; thanks to knowing them, I am now a person with a broader and more complex vision of the world and life. From my wife Florentina I have received constant moral and intellectual support, along with encouragements. She had spent many of her school holidays in a village in Western Romania where her grandparents lived; thus she became a good connoisseur of the rural world in that area of Transylvania, and was later able to provide me with pertinent advice on rural folklore and the way of thinking of village inhabitants, tempering my idealistic tendencies and hasty generalizations. A simple thanks would not be enough to express my appreciation for her help. Last but not least, I have to thank my parents, Maria and Simion Rus, for their constant moral, spiritual and material support over my years of study, and throughout the challenges I have been going through. I am convinced that there are few people who have the privilege of having such wonderful parents, so my gratitude will never be able to reward their efforts. My brother Octavian, too, has always encouraged me in my struggle to complete this project. I want him to always remember the lyrics of a song we used to listen as children: ―Nu vii există in lumea asta frate ca al meu/ Și la bune și la rele, e fratele meu!‖ (eng. "In this entire world there's no brother like mine/ To all good and bad, he remains my brother."). Finally, my eternal gratitude, appreciation and esteem go to my grandmother, Elena Murarek, the one who helped, encouraged, and supported me with an abnegation worthy of all admiration. She was the one who always believed in my lucky star.

    Land Degradation Within the Bahluieţ Catchment

    DOI 10.1515/pesd-2016-0008 PESD, VOL. 10, no. 1, 2016 LAND DEGRADATION WITHIN THE BAHLUIEŢ CATCHMENT Ionela Popa1, Ion Ioniţă2 Key words: land degradation, soil erosion, gullying, landslides, sedimentation Abstract. The Bahluieţ catchment, located in the Moldavian Plateau, at the contact between the Jijia Rolling Plain, the Suceava Plateau and the Central Moldavian Plateau, has 54,866 hectares in size. The sculptural landforms are prevailing, described by elongated rolling hills, and are underlain by the Bessarabian layers laid in marine brackish facies. In turn, the typical plateau relief (Coasta Iasilor and the eastern border of the Suceava Plateau) is developed in coastal facies also Bessarabian in age. This paper focuses on the spatial distribution and intensity of land degradation processes and associated controlling factors within the Bahluieţ catchment. The most characteristic geomorphological processes, playing an essential role in the morphogenesis of the landforms are soil erosion and landslides, while gully erosion and sedimentation have a reduced intensity. Soil erosion is ubiquitous, being the process with the highest extension. Therefore, the soils on the arable land, affected by moderate-excessive erosion, hold a weight of 38%. The slopes subjected to landslides are stretching on 19,040 ha, representing 35% of the studied area. Nowadays, most landslides show high degree of stability, due to the drier period of time since 1982. The gully erosion has a reduced incidence resulting from the prevailing Bessarabian clayey-sandy facies. The average rate of sedimentation in reservoirs, after the year 1986, is around 2 cm yr-1. Land degradation within the Bahluieţ catchment occurs on steeper slopes, mainly in the shape of cuesta fronts, usually northern and western facing, but also on some degraded cuesta back slopes.

    And Colin Bundy's “African Peasantry”

    International Journal of Development and Sustainability ISSN: 2186-8662 – www.isdsnet.com/ijds Volume 3 Number 7 (2014): Pages 1410-1437 ISDS Article ID: IJDS14042304 Chayanov’s “development theory” and Colin Bundy’s “African peasantry”: Relevance to contemporary development and agricultural discourse Anis Mahomed Karodia* Regent Business School, Durban, South Africa Abstract of Part One This paper attempts to look at the work of Chayanov, in respect of contemporary development issues and reexamines his work (on the basis of the work of TeodorShanin and partly by HamzaAlavi). Chayanov was considered during his time as the new Marx. His discourse and thoughts were fashioned upon the political economy and based on intellectual criticism of the USSR. He was sidelined by the then USSR and put to pasture by the many forms of repression in the then Soviet Union. His work bears utmost relevance to contemporary dialogue in respect of agriculture and development issues, in the context of the modern world. On the other hand the second part of the paper will look at Colin Bundy’s book the Rise and Fall of the African Peasantry. It is probably the most influential account of rural history produced in the 1970’s, and is hailed as a major reinterpretation of South African history, in terms of African agriculture which was considered as inherently primitive or backward and capitalism was hostile to peasants. Both parts of the paper look at the preface of the books written by TeodorShanin and By Colin Bundy himself, in order to look at very important and vexing issues that permeate 21st century discourse on development and agriculture Keywords:Development; Agriculture; Peasantry; Reinterpretation; Political Economy; Contemporary Dialogue; Capitalism; Poverty; Legacy; Traditionalism.
  • Latin America

    Latin America

    Latin America JOHN GLEDHILL, The University of Manchester ‘Latin’ America is a region constructed in a context of imperial rivalries and disputes about how to build ‘modern’ nations that made it an ‘other America’ distinct from ‘Anglo’ America. Bringing together people without previous historical contact, the diversity of its societies and cultures was increased by the transatlantic slave trade and later global immigration. Building on the constructive relationship that characterises the ties between socio-cultural anthropology and history in the region today, this entry discusses differences in colonial relations and cultural interaction between European, indigenous, and Afro-Latin American people in different countries and the role of anthropologists in nation-building projects that aimed to construct national identities around ‘mixing’. It shows how anthropologists came to emphasise the active role of subordinated social groups in making Latin America’s ‘new peoples’. Widespread agrarian conflicts and land reforms produced debates about the future of peasant farmers, but new forms of capitalist development, growing urbanisation, and counter-insurgency wars led to an era in which indigenous identities were reasserted and states shifted towards a multicultural politics that also fostered Afro-Latin American movements. Anthropology has enhanced understanding of the diversity, complexity, and contradictions of these processes. Latin American cities are characterised by stark social inequalities, but anthropologists critiqued the stigmatisation

Fall 2020] ABSTRACT: Veronica Porumbacu (1921-1977) was a Romanian poet and translator who has been unjustly forgotten today due to her proletcultist poems of the 1950s. Yet her work was widely published and well-known during the socialist re- gime, and is especially relevant for the two decades of growth and ideological innovation of the 1960s and 1970s. In my article I analyze a remarkable vol- ume of hers published in 1966, situating it in the context of her work and in the wider frame of the political context of Romania. I argue that Return from Cythera can be considered a conceptual manifesto of socialist feminism, rely- ing on reflexive eroticism, embodied thought, and historical consciousness to challenge the surrounding patriarchal order and to claim the necessity of developing a different cultural genealogy, centered on the standpoint and ex- periences of women. © Wagadu (2020) ISSN : 1545-6196 2 | Ovidiu Ţichindeleanu Postcommunist România has tried hard to abandon its own recent past, although as visual artist Ciprian Mureşan has reminded us, strictly speaking “Communism never happened.”1 In the past three decades of “post-socialist” or “post-communist” West-oriented transition, a specific type of forgetting has been perfected in aca- demia, the public sphere, as well as the larger culture industry.

    Draft Map and the List of Administrative Units

    Defining the Scope of Application for the Strategy for Development of Sustainable Tourism of the Carpathians: Draft map and the list of administrative units The Carpathian Convention Working Group on Sustainable Tourism at its meeting on 12-14 May 2014, Bratislava, Slovakia, discussed the map presented below. The Working Group concluded that along with administrative units, the map should include the geographical scope of the Carpathians as it is currently defined by the Party. The geographical scope of the Carpathians defines the core area for implementing the actions outlined in the strategy, while the administrative borders are useful for decision making, resource allocation and monitoring purposes. The Working Group decided to develop two maps that may be useful during the implementation of the strategy: 1. A map of local administrative units on LAU1 level in EU countries, “raions” in Ukraine and municipalities in Serbia that also features the geographical scope of the Carpathians. Such map may be helpful when involving the authorities and stakeholders into project development and implementation and when action is needed for decision making and implementation on the smallest administrative level. 2. A map of administrative units at NUTS3 or NUTS2 level, “oblast” in Ukraine and districts in Serbia that also features the geographical scope of the Carpathians. Such map would be useful when action is needed on the regional decision level, and whenever the interlinkage of the Carpathians with surrounding areas is important (e.g. for optimizing

Hard Data and its Soft Underbelly MICHAEL SHAFIR As in many other former communist countries of East Central Europe1, antisemitism in Romania resurged almost concomitantly with the demise of the former regime2. Empirical research on antisemitism, however, emerged only considerably later and did not take off as a main focus until the establishment of the National Institute for the Study of the Holocaust in Romania ”Elie Wiesel” (INSHREW) in 2005. This does not imply that the subject of Jews, attitudes to Jews measured by instruments such as stereotypic perceptions and/or ”social distance”, or attitudes toward controversial Romanian historical figures linked to the country’s antisemitic past was not tangentially or even directly tackled on occasion. What lacked until 2005, however, was an effort to systematically (among other instruments, employing a standard questionnaire capable of rendering comparative results) place under focus the phenomenon in its synchronic and diachronic unfolding.

    Romanian Neo-Protestants in the Interwar Struggle for Religious and National Identity

    Pieties of the Nation: Romanian neo-protestants in the interwar struggle for religious and national identity by Iemima Daniela Ploscariu Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Constantin Iordachi Second Reader: Vlad Naumescu CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2015 “Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author.

Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author.” CEU eTD Collection i Abstract Neo-protestants (Seventh-Day Adventists, Baptists, Brethren, and Pentecostals) were the fastest growing among the religious minorities in interwar Romania. The American, Hungarian, German, and other European influences on these groups and their increasing success led government officials and the Romanian Orthodox Church to look on them with suspicion and to challenge them with accusations of being socially deviant sects or foreign pawns. Neo- protestants presented themselves as loyal Romanians while still maintaining close relationships with ethnic minorities of the same faith within the country and abroad. The debates on the identity of these groups and the “competition for souls” that occurred in society demonstrate neo- protestants' vision of Romanian national identity challenging the accepted interwar arguments for what it meant to be Romanian.

CEU eTD Collection 5 Abstract The dissertation investigates early Kádárism in Hungary, from the point of view of policies regarding Jewish issues, using a comparative framework of other Eastern European socialist countries. It follows state policies between 1956 and 1968, two dates that mark large Jewish emigration waves from communist Eastern Europe in the wake of national crises in Hungary (1956), Poland (1956, 1968) and Czechoslovakia (1968). The complex topic of policies relating to the Hungarian Jewish community, individuals of Jewish origin and the state of Israel facilitates the multidimensional examination of the post-Stalinist Party state at work.
