  • Interethnic Discourses on Transylvania in the Periodical “Provincia”
    DER DONAURAUM Andrea Miklósné Zakar Jahrgang 49 – Heft 1-2/2009 Interethnic Discourses on Transylvania in the Periodical “Provincia” Introduction The status quo of nation states has to face several significant challenges nowadays. One of these problems is bi-directional. The nation states formed in the 19th century are compelled to exist in an environment which oppresses their existence and functioning with new obstacles. They have to take account of the economic, social, cultural and com- munication changes and impacts caused by the globalisation processes. Through these transformations the state borders have become increasingly transparent and symbolic. The globalisation processes are enhanced by the appearance of macro-regional entities, such as the European Union with its single market. States taking part in the supranational decision-making mechanism of a macro-regional entity lose a part of their sovereignty. Under such circumstances the modern nation state is required to redefine itself, because its old “content” and operational mechanisms no longer assure appropriate function- ing. In addition the traditional confines of nation states have to face problems coming from the sub-national direction, raised by the regions themselves. In many cases sub-national territories, micro-regions or regions express a political will that sometimes results in the transformation of the nation state (e.g. the cases of Scotland, Catalonia or South Tyrol). “It seems that under the economic, politic and cultural influences of globalisation the traditional nation-state of the 19th century is too complex to resolve the problems of communities living on the sub-national (local and regional) level. At the same time a nation-state is too small to influence the globalisation processes from above.”1 Coming from the level of regions, regionalism is a bottom-up process expressing the will of the society (or a part of the society) living on that territory.

  • A Patriarch of Militant Europeanism: Adrian Marino
    © Philobiblon. Transylvanian Journal of Multidisciplinary Research in Humanities A Patriarch of Militant Europeanism: Adrian Marino Ovidiu PECICAN Faculty of European Studies, "Babe^-Bolyai" University, Cluj-Napoca Keywords: European integration, pro-Occidental, pa§optism, civical- liberal, democrat, militant spirit Ahstract The paper delineates the personality and work of Adrian Marino, a person with spectacular and protean character leading a marginal but febrile and authentic intellectual life, who made the attempt of remodelling a historical party, and set himself to the construction of a Transylvanian periodical essential for the democratic debate. A character neither popular, nor comfortable: the democratic ideologue proposing orientation towards the European Union not only on the scale of Romania's foreign alliances but also as a model of civilization. E-mail: [email protected] 1. Europe in our country The resurrection of Europeanism as an ideology in the post- communist Romania was accomplished in a villa in the centre of Cluj- Napoea, in the library of a great scholar - old in age, but not in spirit - in the years after the 1989 revolution.' At that time - after a two-year period when Ion Iliescu and his entourage believed that the autochthonous revolutionary verve could be satisfied by a Gorbachevist government of a Perestroika-Glastnost type - the arrest of the last president of the URSS, his ill timed release, and the dissolution of the communist colossus from the East, in 1991, threw the Romanian government into a persistent confusion for the oncoming years. The voice which could be heard by ' The texts gathered here under a common title appeared independently during the preceding year in the cultural reviews Steaua, Idei in dialog and, respectively, Apostrof.

  • THE ROMANIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY in the 1990'S
    32 Romanian Journal of Political Science THE ROMANIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY IN THE 1990’s Bogdan Murgescu∗ Abstract The quantity and quality of Romanian historians work improved seriously after the fall of communism. Altough the new generation of historians, historians that borrowed the know-how from the West, have to face many obstacles, the battle is not lost already. The battle between those who want to revive the “grand-narrative” from communism and those who are trying to deconstruct some unfounded myths is still on the scene. Ideological constraints and political active involvement in sustaining the “grand-narrative” are serious obstacles for those trying to promote new methodological frameworks and debates. It seems that the state still holds the power to determine the official writers of Romanian history by encouraging a certain number of chosen historians to write a treaty under the aegis of Romanian Academy. Whatsoever, the deconstructivist generation managed to survive and their work to be appreciated by a serious number of intellectuals. Foreign grants are permitting nominal research and each historian can follow its own academic choice. Key words: grand-narrative, deconstructivism, reluctance to change, historian debate, mentalities ∗ Bogdan Murgescu, Ph.D. in history at the University of Bucharest and also a Roman Herzog Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Berlin . He is currently professor at the History Department of the University of Bucharest, and has been visiting professor also at the University of Pittsburgh.

The methodology of this paper is a reflection of a field work conducted in the region of Transylvania, Romania and mainly the city of Targû Mures ̧ (Τírgu Mureş) the period February-July 2012, following several meetings and interviews with policy makers, representatives from local authorities, civil society, academics, political parties and representatives of traditional Roma communities and local schools. The organization that hosted me and facilitated me in my fieldwork is the NGO Liga Proeuropa and its President Smaranda Enache and her team. This work is a result of my personal interaction with some of the local communities in the region (Tírgu Mureş, Sighişoara, Alba Iulia, Brasov, Sibiu) as well as the capital Bucharest which I had the opportunity to visit at that period of time. The project was funded by a small European grant (Leonardo da Vinci). The town of Tirgu Mureş is where I was based, since the largest number of traditional Gabor Roma who still apply early marriages can be found there. Keywords: Transylvania; Roma; early marriage; Romania; Gabor Roma. Roma community in Romania Sociologists and Roma community leaders estimate that the total number of Roma reaches 1,5-2 million persons, which makes 9,22% of the total Romanian population.

  • Stalinism Revisited Stalinism Revisited
    CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK Stalinism Revisited Stalinism Revisited Stalinism Revisited brings together representatives of multiple generations to create a rich examination The Establishment of Communist Regimes in East-Central Europe of the study and practice of Stalinism. While the articles are uniformly excellent, the book’s signal contribution is to bring recent research from Eastern European scholars to an English-speaking audience. Thus the volume is not just a “state of the discipline” collection, in which articles are collected to reflect that current situation of scholarship in a given field; instead, this one includes cutting edge scholarship that will prompt more of the same from other scholars in other fields/subfields. I would recommend this book highly to anyone interested in understanding the technology of Stalinism in both StalinismStalinism thought and practice. Nick Miller Boise State University The Sovietization of post-1945 East-Central Europe—marked by the forceful imposition of the Soviet- type society in the region—was a process of massive socio-political and cultural transformation. Despite its paramount importance for understanding the nature of the communist regime and its RevisitedRevisited legacy, the communist take-over in East Central European countries has remained largely under- researched. Two decades after the collapse of the communist system,Stalinism Revisited brings together a remarkable international team of established and younger scholars, engaging them in a critical re-evaluation of the institutionalization of communist regimes in East-Central Europe and of the period of “high Stalinism.” Sovietization is approached not as a fully pre-determined, homogeneous, and monolithic transformation, but as a set of trans-national, multifaceted, and inter-related processes of large-scale institutional and ideological transfers, made up of multiple “takeovers” in various fields.

  • Avoiding the Communist Censorship in Promoting the National Culture
    Sociology of communication AVOIDING THE COMMUNIST CENSORSHIP IN PROMOTING THE NATIONAL CULTURE Mihail ORZEAŢĂ1 1Prof. PhD. “Apollonia” University of Iaşi, Romania Corresponding author: Mihail Orzeaţă; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Writers, poets and all artists were exposed to Censorship existed and still exists, in different forms, censorship in order to promote the politics of the in all kinds of social regimes and in all the states of the single party (NISTOR, 2011). Some of the people world. The most harsh and destructive form of censorship who complied with this situation were rewarded was applied and is still being applied by the totalitarian regimes, among which Romania was a part of, during the with important positions in the party and in the period 1948-1989. At the beginning censorship and the state’s institutions (ŞTEFĂNESCU, 2004), political regime in Romania were imposed by the Soviet whereas those who opposed were sent to jail Union. Later on, the Romanian totalitarian regime (ALEXA, 2017), deprived of some rights, forced promoted its own form of suppressing the freedom of speech for its citizens. After the formal abeyance of to go into exile (DIMISIANU, 2007) or even censorship in Romania, the majority of writers, journalists physically abused. and artists appealed to self-censorship in order to not get Despite all these harsh conditions there were into any conflict with the state’s authorities. The censorship some literature and art creators whose works of the communist regime in Romania stimulated the creative imagination of a number of talented writers, who were highly appreciated not only in Romania, managed to find solution to publish their works, as well but also worldwide and they were given some as the methods to promote Romanian culture worldwide.

  • The Politics of Writing History: Historians' Debates and High-School History Teaching in Post-Socialist Romania
    Politikon: IAPSS Political Science Journal Vol. 22, March 2014 The politics of writing history: historians' debates and high-school history teaching in post-socialist Romania Sergiu DELCEA16, Central European University, Budapest Abstract fter exhibiting one of the "hottest" instances of ethno-national related violence in all post-socialist transitions, early 90s Romanian society seemed to have "cooled" down in terms identitarian conflicts, hence making it even more surprising why an apparently small-scale debate concerning history Atextbooks quickly spiraled to the point of becoming a fully-fledged public scandal against a Government dubbed as "Anti-Romanian". The aim of this paper is thus to contribute to the overarching research question: Why did nationalism remain such a powerful force despite the fall of the Ceausescu regime? To provide a comprehensive answer the article looks at two, tightly interwoven, sides of cultural reproduction: the politics of history-teaching in Romanian high-schools and its more general background - historians' debates on nationalism. The conclusion reached through this analysis is that a conservation of ethno- centered nationalistic thinking about history was generated by a distorted understanding of professionalization of history qua science. 16 Sergiu Delcea is a second year MA student in the Nationalism Studies Programme, Central European University, Budapest, with a previous background in Political Science (graduated BA studies in 2012) from the University of Bucharest.
