In a brief article of 1993, Lucian Boia outlined the destinies of some Western models which had come in contact with the Romanian culture; a Belgian model, seen as an appendage of the French, an English one, which in his opinion was completely marginal, and others that enjoyed a more or less brilliant fate (German, Italian, etc.) 1. Please note that each of the topics mentioned above enjoyed special attention in Romanian historiography; see for instance the studies authored by Aurel Filimon, Gheorghe Platon and even my own, dedicated to the Romanian- Belgian relations; those by Dan Berindei, Pompiliu Eliade, Nicolae Iorga and Nicolae Isar for the French case; those by Zigu Ornea regarding the German influences on the political and literary thought of the Junimea group; those by Eugen Denize and George L ăzărescu, on the cultural and political interferences between Italy and Romania, etc. The English model had its own researchers in Romanian historiography; let us only mention Alexandru Du ţu, especially interested in the cultural influences 2, and Vlad Georgescu, whose work focused mostly on the political ∗ A Romanian language version of this article in In Memoriam Grigore Ploe şteanu.

In fact, in the present article, which belongs to a larger project, we seek to deepen the suggestions made by these two illustrious scholars, especially concerning the political facet of the English model. Thus, I chose to demonstrate, by means of a small case study, the manner whereby the English model can be traced in the political discourse of Barbu Catargiu, who was the first prime minister of the single government of the two United Principalities. To outline this beneficial contamination, we examined his political pamphlets (État social des Principautés danubiennes , Imprimerie de Bols-Wittouck, Brussels, 1855; De la Propriété en Moldo-Valachie , Imprimerie J. Kopainig, Bucharest, 1857; Encore quelques mots sur la propriété en Moldo-Valachie , Imprimerie A. Ulrich, Bucharest, 1860) 4, the project and memoirs of 1857, which Ioan C. Filitti attributed to him ( De l’Organisation du pouvoir ; Des Différentes classes de la population en Valachie et de leur position légale respective )5, as well as the parliamentary speeches, reunited and edited for the first time by Anghel Demetriescu in 1886 6. FROM DUMITRACHE STURDZA TO BARBU CATARGIU Around midd 19 th century, the English model had already been present for several decades in the public realm, and especially in the political and institutional imaginary of the Romanian Principalities. In the following section, we shall review a few moments of this history, while, for a better understanding 3 For example, Vlad Georgescu, Ideile politice şi iluminismul în Principatele Române, 1750-1831 , Ed. Academiei RSR, Bucure şti, 1972, pp. 70, 71, 116 etc.; Istoria ideilor politice române şti, 1369-1878 , Jon Dumitru Verlag, München, 1987, pp. 130, 148, 170 etc. 4 Romanian-language versions of the latter two booklets exist. The French- and Romanian language version of the latter booklet have also been published, signed “X”, in three consecutive issues of the Conservatorulu Progresistu , vol. I, no. 5, 19 January 1860, pp. 18-20; no. 6, 22 January 1860, pp. 22-23; no. 7, 26 January 1860, pp. 27-28. 5 See Ioan C. Filitti, “Înc ă un proect de reprezintare na ţional ă la 1857”, Revista de Drept Public , July-December 1935, pp. 257-263, and “Un Mémoire de 1857 sur les classes sociales de la Valachie”, Arhiva pentru Ştiin ţă şi Reform ă Social ă, issue dedicated to Dimitrie Gusti, XIII, 1936, pp. 154-164. 6 Discursurile lui Barbu Catargiu (1859-1862, 8 June) , collected and annotated by Ang. Demetriescu with a gloss on the Katargiu family and a biography of the speaker, Tipo- Litografia Eduard Wiegand, Bucure şti, 1886. A second edition by Petre V. Hane ş (see the foreword on pp. IX-XXXI) was published at Institutul de Arte Grafice şi Editur ă “Minerva” in Bucharest in 1914. A partial edition, Cazul Barbu Catargiu – O crim ă politic ă perfect ă, was curated by Stelian Neagoe at Ed. Scripta, Bucure şti, 1992. Several speeches can be found in the newspapers, namely Conservatorulu Progresistu and Unirea . Romanian Political Science Review ®®® vol. XIV ®®® no. 2 ®®® 2014 The English Political Model in Barbu Catargiu’s Public Discourse 263 of the context, we shall briefly evoke certain details of the English cultural presence by the Lower Danube. Around 1802 Dumitrache Sturza had been drafting a project entitled “Plan or model of republican aristo-democratic government”, which aimed to become Moldavia’s Constitution 7. Logothete Sturdza spoke on that occasion about the parliamentary system that was “customary in England”, “a free country, with a paradigm worthy of being copied” 8. Towards the end of the second decade of that century, in 1818, Nicolae Rosetti-Rosnovanu travelled to England to get familiar with the island’s political realities; we also know that he pursued a significant correspondence with a number of English political leaders 9 and that he knew the studies of economists Adam Smith and David Ricardo 10 . Their works were also known by another member of the Moldavian political elite of the second quarter of the 19 th century, prince Nicolae Su ţu, both through their French translations, and through the economic literature of the Hexagon, heavily influenced at the time by Adam Smith and David Ricardo’s thought (Nicolae Su ţu would have thus read them in the translations and studies by G. Garnier and J.B. Say) 11 . In the 1920s, after a careful study of the island’s legal norms, Ionic ă Tăutu shared the idea that the English political institutions were superior to the French 12 . In addition, his reflections upon the idea of liberty seemed tributary to John Locke’s conception thereof, as limited, civil liberty 13 . References to John Locke and to other political thinkers, who also subscribed to the natural law and to the social contract theories, etc., are legion in this period. We find them, rather chaotically, with Eufrosin Poteca (in his speech at St. Sava College in 1825) 14 , with Costache Conachi, who also referred to Newton 15 , and with other scholars, contemporary with Ionic ă T ăutul, who had seen the handbooks of 7 Emil Vîrtosu, “Napoleon Bonaparte şi proiectul unei republici aristo-dimocratice şti în Moldova”, excerpt from Via ţa Româneasc ă, no. 6-7, June-July 1947. 8 Ibidem , p. 34; apud.

Let us not forget Ion Heliade R ădulescu, who planned to set up a world-class library, as he announced in Curierul Românesc (no. 28, 1846), which was to include translations of John Locke’s works, but also of other celebrated philosophers like Bacon and Hume 17 .

A Historical Semantics Approach . Radu MÂRZA (Romania: Associate professor, Faculty of History and Philosophy, “Babeș- Bolyai” University, Cluj-Napoca) Romanian Train Travelers Discover Landscape “To Franzensbad, the train passes through a land of no beauty, barren and poor”. The quotation comes from a travel account to Franzensbad and Karlsbad, published in 1901. Many similar ones exist. They drew my attention to the fact that in 1900 a passenger could spend many hours at the train window, looking out heedlessly or carefully observing the landscape passing before his eyes. The traveler's concern for the landscape and nature he is crossing is recent. Until the 18th century and especially during the first half of the 19th century, travelers did not place much value on them. From the sources they have left us, travelers do not seem to be very concerned about the beauty (or lack of beauty) of the landscape. However, during the Enlightenment, and even more so during Romanticism, they discover nature and landscape and they associate symbolic values to them. The development of the railways also brings about a new relation between traveler and nature. The train runs through the wild nature, but the journey is fast and convenient. The traveler no longer makes an effort in going through nature, but rather looks at it comfortably from the window of the train. Sometimes he is observing it, sometimes not, sometimes he is observing the people and their settlements, villages, plants or train stations, or even the passengers aboard the train.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT The subject of this thesis is the development of a literary culture among the Romanians in the period 1829-1890; the effect of this development on the Romanians’ drive towards social modernization and political independence; and the way in which the idea of literature (as both concept and concrete manifestation) and the idea of the Romanian nation shaped each other. I concentrate on developments in the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia (which united in 1859, later to form the old Kingdom of Romania). I begin with an outline of general social and political change in the Principalities in the period to 1829, followed by an analysis of the image of the Romanians in European public opinion, with particular reference to the state of cultural institutions (literacy, literary activity, education, publishing, individual groups) and their evaluation for political purposes.

  • FINAL REPORT International Commission on the Holocaust In
    FINAL REPORT of the International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania Presented to Romanian President Ion Iliescu November 11, 2004 Bucharest, Romania NOTE: The English text of this Report is currently in preparation for publication. © International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania. All rights reserved. DISTORTION, NEGATIONISM, AND MINIMALIZATION OF THE HOLOCAUST IN POSTWAR ROMANIA Introduction This chapter reviews and analyzes the different forms of Holocaust distortion, denial, and minimalization in post-World War II Romania. It must be emphasized from the start that the analysis is based on the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s definition of the Holocaust, which Commission members accepted as authoritative soon after the Commission was established. This definition1 does not leave room for doubt about the state-organized participation of Romania in the genocide against the Jews, since during the Second World War, Romania was among those allies and a collaborators of Nazi Germany that had a systematic plan for the persecution and annihilation of the Jewish population living on territories under their unmitigated control. In Romania’s specific case, an additional “target-population” subjected to or destined for genocide was the Romany minority. This chapter will employ an adequate conceptualization, using both updated recent studies on the Holocaust in general and new interpretations concerning this genocide in particular. Insofar as the employed conceptualization is concerned, two terminological clarifications are in order. First, “distortion” refers to attempts to use historical research on the dimensions and significance of the Holocaust either to diminish its significance or to serve political and propagandistic purposes. Although its use is not strictly confined to the Communist era, the term “distortion” is generally employed in reference to that period, during which historical research was completely subjected to controls by the Communist Party’s political censorship.
