Valorization by Tourism of Gypsy Culture in Romania
Recent Researches in Social Science, Digital Convergence, Manufacturing and Tourism Valorization by Tourism of Gypsy Culture in Romania TEODORESCU CAMELIA Faculty of Geography, Human Geography Department University of Bucharest 1 Nicolae Balcescu Bvd, 010041 Bucuresti, District 1 ROMANIA [email protected] DINCA IULIAN Department of Geography, Tourism and Territorial Planning University of Oradea 1 Universitatii St., 410087 Oradea ROMANIA [email protected] POPOVICI ADINA Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Department of Economics West University of Timisoara 16 J. H. Pestalozzi St., 300115 Timisoara ROMANIA [email protected] TUDUCE ADELA Bihor Environmental Protection Agency 25/A Dacia Bvd., 410464 Oradea, Bihor County ROMANIA [email protected] Abstract: - This study is an attempt to present the genuine values of Gypsy culture on the Romanian territory, an ethnic group that seems to be quite controversial in terms of its way of life or interests. However, what is known is that each ethnic group has its own culture which deserves to be analyzed and exploited or at least highlighted by tourism. Starting from this idea, this study captures the cultural particularities related to residential architecture, occupations, clothing, food and family traditions of some Gypsy communities located in various geographical areas in Romania. Gypsies’ way of life, regardless of the geographic area they live in, has its specificity and can be easily observed, which this does not coincide with being famous. Their culture is very little known because of poor cooperation and cultural exteriorization. Ethnic tourism could be implemented as an opportunity for these persons for communication, externalization and presentation of authentic cultural values, thus raising their educational and professional level. -

Between Tradition and Modernity. Case Study: Oltenia Region, Romania
HUMAN GEOGRAPHIES – Journal of Studies and Research in Human Geography (2010) 4.1, 105-119 www.humangeographies.org.ro DEMOGRAPHIC BEHAVIOUR OF THE ROMA POPULATION – BETWEEN TRADITION AND MODERNITY. CASE STUDY: OLTENIA REGION, ROMANIA Mihaela-Daniela Predaa* aFaculty of Geography, Bucharest University, Bucharest Romania Abstract: Analyzing the demographic behavior of the Roma population is a difficult endeavor due to the fact that the available statistical data concerning this population’s exact number presents significant errors. Considering the fertility data, to which we should add the mortality rates, we appreciate that Roma, as an ethnic group, have had a mostly ascending evolution from a demographical point of view - and this situation isn’t always reflected by the statistics. As far as the fertility data goes, its level is dictated by a series of factors whose detailed analysis shows a past preference for a high number of children per family, specifically for the continuously nomadic tribes, also associated with increased values of fertility rates which perpetuated to this day. The mortality values registered within the Roma population fall within the standard values for the entire population - differences were spotted by analyzing the infant mortality. On a final note, these indicators are meant to present inequalities based on the living standards of the population. The analysis of migrants as an important component of the migratory movement brings into discussion one of the most current subjects: that of the percentage of Roma population that participate to the international migration flow. The preference for destination countries, which in most cases is attributed to their previously nomadic traditional life style, is determined by a series of factors, the most important of which being their financial situation. -

Negotiation of the Haiduc in Ceaușescu's Romania
Honor among Thieves: Negotiation of the Haiduc in Ceaușescu’s Romania (1968-1982) THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Justin Thomas Ciucevich, B.A. Graduate Program in Slavic and East European Studies The Ohio State University 2017 Thesis Committee: Theodora Dragostinova, Advisor David Hoffmann Adela Lechintan-Siefer Copyrighted by Justin Thomas Ciucevich 2017 Abstract In Nicolae Ceaușescu’s Romania, the haiduc enjoyed an elevated status in the national pantheon alongside the greatest rulers and revolutionaries of the past – celebrated through film, songs, literature, and architecture. Romania’s producers of culture (particularly privileged intellectuals working within the highly-centralized state) used the haiduc figure as an embodiment of the ideals espoused by the regime – a protector of national identity; a guarantor of social justice and economic equality; defender against foreign oppression; an embodiment of paternity, masculinity, fraternity, and morality; and a champion of righteous revolutionary principles. However, the haiduc also served a practical purpose for the regime. The narratives of the two most renowned haiduc figures – Baba Novac (1530-1601) and Iancu Jianu (1787-1842) – were used, especially, to vilify ethnic minorities and the large peasant population in Romania. This thesis focuses on how these two figures were used most malleably in order to maximize public displays of national chauvinism via flamboyant glorifications and representations. ii Vita 2004...............................................................

RÎMARU BUTCHER OF BUCHAREST by Mike Phillips and Stejărel Olaru Edited by Ramona Mitrică PROFUSION CRIME SERIES Profusion, London 2012 Rîmaru - Butcher of Bucharest Prologue Th e spring and early summer of 1970 was an eventful and momentous period for Romania. April and May saw a combination of unusual and extreme weather conditions. Torrential rains were accompanied by high winds and a heatwave which melted the frozen icefi elds of the Carpathian mountaintops. In the fi rst weeks of May, the rivers rising in the Carpathians or fl owing down from the high ground into the Danube began to overfl ow, signalling the start of a notable disaster. Th e Danube rises in Germany’s Black Forest and runs through Austria and Hungary down to its Delta in South East Romania. Famed for its beauty and benevolence, the Danube has also been, by tradition, the most important transport and communications link between and within the regions it serves. As it nears its fi nal destination, the river is fed by a multitude of streams rushing downhill from the Carpathians to join it, and these waters nourish the most heavily populated and intensely cultivated plains and valleys in the region. Within this landscape, fl oods are not unusual. 1970, however, was exceptional. In one hectic month, between the 12th of May and the middle of June, the fl oods killed more than two hundred people, drowned over a hundred thousand cattle and farm animals, and destroyed thousands of houses, leaving a quarter of a million people homeless. Low-lying villages were evacuated to centres 5 Mike Phillips and Stejărel Olaru higher up, the majority of farmland was inundated and industry went into recession. -

CONSTANŢA VINTILĂ-GHIŢULESCU “I BELIEVE IN STORIES”: THE JOURNEY OF A YOUNG BOYAR FROM BUCHAREST TO ISTANBUL IN THE EARLY NINETEENTH CENTURY “One day, I sat after reading the tragedies of Orestes1 and of Erotocritos2 and I wondered. I resolved that I too should make a history of the things that had happened to me.” Pie-maker, shoe-maker, and later paharnic,3 Dumitrache Merişescu, a young petty boyar born in 1797 in Colentina and brought up in the Biserica cu Sfinţi district of Bucharest, decided to write about the adventures of his life. His memoir, presented in thirty-six pages Constanţa Vintilă-Ghiţulescu is PI of the ERC project LuxFASS at New Europe College, Institute for Advanced Study, Bucharest and Senior Researcher at the Nicolae Iorga Institute of History, Romanian Academy.

Dimitrie Foti Merisescu
Dimitrie, Dumitrache sau Tache (n. 1797 în București) este fiul lui Foti, negustor de vite venit, cel mai probabil, de la sudul Du nării și împămîntenit cu numele Merișescu – sub care va cumpăra rangul de cupar, apoi de paharnic, precum și moșii. Dumitrache își petrece copilăria și adolescența în mahalaua Biserica cu Sfinți. Pe la 1815 intră ca fecior de casă la marele vornic Grigore Băleanu, apoi la Dimitrie Caragea, probabil un nepot al domnului Ioan Gheorghe Caragea. Călătorește la Constantinopol, unde petrece cîteva luni, apoi, împreună cu un unchi negustor, poposește prin porturile Levantului. Revine în Valahia la 1817, după care îl găsim în Moldova, sub protecția bei zadelelor Alecu şi Iorgu Sturdza. Ajunge becer la curtea domnească, apoi paharnic. Vodă Ioniță Sturdza îl căsătorește cu Smaranda Manoliu, orfană şi aflată în grija doamnei. La 1824 cumpără o casă la Piatra Neamț. La 1829 îl găsim pahar- nic, iar la 1848 stăpîn al moșiei Valea Viei, din Neamț. Aici îl pri meşte pe Gheorghe Asachi, cu care este prieten apropiat, şi pe nepotul său, cunoscutul istoric şi memorialist V.A. Urechia. Din această perioadă datează, probabil, redactarea finală a ma nuscrisului în careși așterne amintirile din tinerețe. Scrierea sa, pînă acum inedită, este o mărturie rară și prețioasă cu pri vire la societatea valahă a sfîrșitului de veac fanariot.

Oltenia's Identity
Theoretical and Applied Economics Volume XX (2013), No. 7(584), pp. 7-26 Oltenia’s identity – A systemic approach of a tourism destination’s universe Aurelia-Felicia STĂNCIOIU The Bucharest University of Economic Studies [email protected] Nicolae TEODORESCU The Bucharest University of Economic Studies [email protected] Ion PÂRGARU Polytechnic University of Bucharest [email protected] Andreea BOTOȘ The Bucharest University of Economic Studies [email protected] Anamaria-Cătălina RADU The Bucharest University of Economic Studies [email protected] Abstract. The multitude of tourism products, “constructed” with a basis containing the resources of a tourism destination, on the one hand, and from the anticipation of the tourists’ needs and desires, on the other hand, is “hosted” in a complex space, which transcends the spatial and temporal coordinates. Therefore, it is necessary that the marketing specialists know and subsequenty use the components of the “destination’s universe” in the laborious process of constructing tourism products with specific, authentic elements, constituting points of contact between the targeted consumer segments and the nature and culture of the destination itself. The purpose of this paper is to identify, within a quantitative research, those specific elements of the region which can “collaborate” on developing every structured tourism product, comprising both tangible and intangible elements, functional and symbolic, which can be offered to as many market segments as possible, through planned activities of destination marketing, yet entirely complying with its identity. Keywords: destination; touristic identity; authenticity; Oltenia. JEL Classification: M3; L83. REL Classification: 14F; 14G. 8 Aurelia-Felicia Stăncioiu, Nicolae Teodorescu, Ion Pârgaru, Andreea Botoș, Anamaria-Cătălina Radu Introduction With a wide range of resources, Oltenia, in terms of authenticity and identity, can be successfully represented by its balneotherapy, natural or cultural profile alike. -
Imagining Individual and Collective Action in Nineteenth-Century Romania
Visions of Agency: Imagining Individual and Collective Action in Nineteenth-Century Romania Andrei Dan Sorescu UCL PhD History 1 2 I, Andrei Dan Sorescu, 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. Date: 19/03/2019 Signature: 3 Abstract The present dissertation explores the contexts in which political agency was negotiated in nineteenth-century Romania (1830-1907), the concepts through which it was articulated, and the ways in which it was perceived as being distributed across time, class and state borders. Whatever may be understood by ‘agency’ is necessarily projected onto others as a way of making sense of their actions and justifying our power relationships with them, and situated in time, insofar as we tend to assume that projects in the present and the future are informed by past intentions and conditions. Guided by these assumptions, our research focuses on two key questions: how did historical actors ascribe agency to other actors and to themselves, and per which criteria? And, secondly, how did specific ways of thinking about agency in turn influence historical actors’ own perceptions of history and temporality? In order to make sense of this, we use “agency” – a socio-culturally mediated capacity to act,1 inherently temporally-situated – in order to historicise perspectives on human action, taking Romania as a case-study, covering a period from the preliminaries of establishing a nation-state and the abolition of serfdom, to the last great European peasant uprising.
