The new party became thus the continuator of the Romanians' struggle for social and national freedom and of the revolutionary fights of the workers' movement. This movement, born directly from the social and political Romanian realities, was deeply rooted in the millenary history of the country and was inspired by the devotion to the vital interests of the Romanian people. As an organisation, it expressed the need felt by the working class and by the democratic and progressive forces at the end of the19thcentury to have a political force which could lead them in their fight for freedom and democratical rights, for better living standards, for ensurine national unity, sovereignty and independence. It is a well-known. fact that compared to other countries in Central and Western Europe, where the capitalist relations had expanded ever- since the end of the17thand the beginning of the18thcenturies, in the Romanian Countries the capitalist economic and socio-political develop- ment was for a long time hindered by several internal and external facts. The difficulties and adversities were cau.sed by the foreign domination and by the destruction or the transfer of inumerable material and spiri- tual goods which belonged to this people. But despite all hindrances, the objective necessities of the socio-economic and political development determined the emergence of production relations of a capitalist type and along with these of the wage-earning workers. The process started in the mid18thcentury and continued ever more conspicuously at the beginning of the 19 tu century with the creation of the manufactures and the first factories. The formation of the capitalist mode of production and of its two characteristic social classes the middle-class and the proletariate was speeded up by a series of important events and social changes such as the revolution. of 1821, the bourgeois democratic revolution of 1848 1849, the Union of the Romanian Principalities and the formation of the Romanian modern national state (1859), the state independence of 1877. The RomInian proletariat° came into being and was formed in that period and from the very beginning was in the forefront of the s ocial- political movement for modernisation and progress of the country.ocial and national freedom were looked upon as organically connected ideals. REV. gTUDES SUD-EST EUROP., XIX, 2,P. 213-218, BUCAREST, 1981 41 www.dacoromanica.ro 214 MIRCEA MU$AT 2 Starting with the first labour on which shed light the documents of the late 18th and earlyconflicts'uth centuries and continuing with those which took place in mines and salt mines, the workers adopted in the second half of the 19e' century organized forms of struggle. The spirit of fight which had inspired the first spontaneousmanifestations lead, as it continuously grew, to various attempts to organize the working class. The Association of printers was founded in 1843 in Brasov and was followed in the coming decades by working associations in Bucharest, Timisoara, Jassy, Cluj, Galati, Braila, etc. In 1872 already, there were 51 professional associations of the workers. This smoothed the way for the creation in October 1872 of the General Association of All the Workers in Romania, one of the oldest working organization in the world. The socialist movement appeased and developed in Romania at the same time with the process of professional organization and of growth of the strike movement. The process of interpenetration of the socialist movement with the workers' movement was the beginning of a new qualitative leap in the fight between capital and labour and supported a great deal the capacity to rally the proletarian forces. The socialist ideas found audience in Romania even since their uto- pical forms and manifested themselves in such original forms as the crea- tion in 1835 by the innitiative of Teodor Diamant of the Scaieni Prahova phalanstery. The ideas of scientific socialism and the marxist ideas found a propicious soil in this country, where the revolutionary movement took over the ideas of some Romanian progressive thinkers such as Nicolae Balcescu, Mihail Kogalniceanu, Simion Barnutiu, Cezar Bolliac and many others who were inspired by the revolutionary traditions of the Romanian people. The Romanian revolutionary movement also developed in close connection with the international revolutionary movement. It is under these conditions that in 1868 1870 the first socialist organizations were set up. Their activity was parallel to that of the professional workers' associations. Thus, for instance, four years only after the creation by Marx and Engels of the First Internationale, the General Workers' Asso- ciation was founded in Timisoara. It was an organization of a definite political profile and it was affiliated to the First Internationale. Starting with the eighth decade of the last century in Bucharest and Jassy, and afterwards in other towns of Romania, the first socialist clubs were set up. They carried on an active organization and propaganda life. They issued several publications of which the most penetrating were "Socialistul"

  • The Development of Maritime Hydrography and Methods of Navigation
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF MARITIME HYDROGRAPHY AND METHODS OF NAVIGATION Lecture delivered by H enri BENCKER,on April 5th 1943. The “ Société des Conférences de iMonaco ” has kindly done me the honour to call upon me to treat before you a subject which is possibly a little dry although dealing with things of the sea, viz. the development of maritime hydrography and methods of navigation. I am all the more willing to fulfil this mission as we are indebted to the generosity of the Princely Government for the foundation and upkeep, since the year 1921, of a special Institute, situated in the Principaliiy and entrusted with the co-ordination of all questions relating to the world's hydrography. But, first of all, what is meant by “ hydrography ” ? It is customary to designate under this heading that branch of geographical science dealing with the regimen of current or stable waters which is peculiar to a given continental area. But from the stand point which concerns us, maritime hydrography is really the art of compiling charts and drawing up documents for the use of mariners with regard to the safety of their navigation and in view of ensuring the proper steering of their ships in all navigable parts, including oceans, seas and adjacent coastal zones. It includes the carrying out of necessary maritime surveys for the security of navigation viz. : coastal triangulation and shore topography measurements, the taking of soundings and sea depths, the description of coastlines, the study of tides and sea-currents. Its aim is to publish in an appropriate form for the use of navigators all data relating to the correct configuratiotf of navigable regions and all nautical information which may be of service to them.

  • The War Profiteer in Romanian Pamphlets (1918–1919)
    ‘The Reign of the Ravens’: The War Profiteer OPEN in Romanian Pamphlets (1918–1919) ACCESS Magdalena Răduță Faculty of Letters, University of Bucharest [email protected] SYNOPSIS At the end of 1918, Romania exits the Great War as a victorious country, following a German occupa- tion and double change in political alliances. The after-war years are dedicated to the national unifi- cation, political and cultural alike; there is much talk in the public agenda of starting anew and the ethical dimension of this renewing process is obviously of highest priority. The present paper aims to examine a specific element of the Romanian public agenda at the end of 1918 and beginning of 1919: the press campaigns dealing with the aftermath of the occupation years, specifically the case of war profiteers, during the first months following the war. Based on various forms of press cam- paigns aiming to expose the war profiteers, this article showcases thead-hominem literary pamphlet, largely present in the Romanian press during the immediate post-war years. Seen as an intermediate genre (closely related to the press in terms of form and immediate purpose, but claiming literary sta- tus for its use of techniques and structures borrowed from literature), the literary pamphlet is used in the Romanian press of ’18–’19 for its symbolical charge and as a substitute for ‘real’ social justice. KEYWORDS Romania; 1918; literary pamphlet; German occupation; moral justice. For the Kingdom of Romania, the war ends twice on December 1st 1918: on this day, the union of Transylvania and Romania is completed and the royal couple returns to the city of Bucharest freed of the German and Bulgarian armies that came to occupy it, together with the whole southern region of the country, in the autumn of 1916.

  • Medieval Portolan Charts As Documents of Shared Cultural Spaces
    SONJA BRENTJES Medieval Portolan Charts as Documents of Shared Cultural Spaces The appearance of knowledge in one culture that was created in another culture is often understood conceptually as »transfer« or »transmission« of knowledge between those two cultures. In the field of history of science in Islamic societies, research prac- tice has focused almost exclusively on the study of texts or instruments and their trans- lations. Very few other aspects of a successful integration of knowledge have been studied as parts of transfer or transmission, among them processes such as patronage and local cooperation1. Moreover, the concept of transfer or transmission itself has primarily been understood as generating complete texts or instruments that were more or less faithfully expressed in the new host language in the same way as in the origi- nal2. The manifold reasons (beyond philological issues) for transforming knowledge of a foreign culture into something different have not usually been considered, although such an approach would enrich the conceptualization of the cross-cultural mobility of knowledge. In this paper, I will examine the cross-cultural presence of knowledge in a different manner, studying works of a specific group of people who created, copied, and modified culturally mixed objects of knowledge. My focus will be on Italian and Catalan charts and atlases of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, partly because the earliest of them are the oldest extant specimens of the genre and partly because they seem to be the richest, most diverse charts of all those extant from the Mediterranean region3. In addition, I have relied on the twelfth- century »Liber de existencia riveriarum et forma maris nostris Mediterranei«, a Latin 1 Charles BURNETT, Literal Translation and Intelligent Adaptation amongst the Arabic–Latin Translators of the First Half of the Twelfth Century, in: Biancamaria SCARCIA AMORETTI (ed.), La diffusione delle scienze islamiche nel Medio Evo Europeo, Rome 1987, p.

  • Dead Reckoning and Magnetic Declination: Unveiling the Mystery of Portolan Charts
    Joaquim Alves Gaspar * Dead reckoning and magnetic declination: unveiling the mystery of portolan charts Keywords : medieval charts; cartometric analysis; history of cartography; map projections of old charts; portolan charts Summary For more than two centuries much has been written about the origin and method of con- struction of the Mediterranean portolan charts; still these matters continue to be the object of some controversy as no one explanation was able to gather unanimous agreement among researchers. If some theory seems to prevail, that is certainly the one asserting the medieval origin of the portolan chart, which would have followed the introduction of the marine compass in the Mediterranean, when the pilots start to plot the magnetic directions and es- timated distances between ports observed at sea. In the research here presented a numerical model which simulates the construction of the old portolan charts is tested. This model was developed in the light of the navigational methods available at the time, taking into account the spatial distribution of the magnetic declination in the Mediterranean, as estimated by a geomagnetic model based on paleomagnetic data. The results are then compared with two extant charts using cartometric analysis techniques. It is concluded that this type of meth- odology might contribute to a better understanding of the geometry and methods of con- struction of the portolan charts. Also, the good agreement between the geometry of the ana- lysed charts and the model’s results clearly supports the a-priori assumptions on their meth- od of construction. Introduction The medieval portolan chart has been considered as a unique achievement in the history of maps and marine navigation, and its appearance one of the most representative turn- ing points in the development of nautical cartography.

  • Great Romania Under the Menace of the European Extremism and Revisionism
    RSP • No. 58 • 2018: 62-72 R S P ORIGINAL PAPER Great Romania under the Menace of the European Extremism and Revisionism Florin Nacu* Abstract: In this article, there is presented the way in which the adversaries of Great Romania made efforts to fight for its dismemberment, immediately after 1918. The Great Union coincided with the revolution from 1917, and the reinvigoration of revisionism, due to the degree of permissiveness in the Peace Treaties from Paris-Versailles, 1919-1920. The actions meant to destabilise Romania were carried out both from the interior and exterior. There were subversive, violent actions, coordinated by the Soviet and German secret services. Romania did not manage to have a position on the international plan for counteracting the effects of the German and Soviet proximity, which had been foreseen by the diplomat Nicolae Titulescu. In the 22 years, the period Great Romania resisted, there could be seen how complex the evolution of the internal and external politics was, promoted by the decisional factors from Bucharest. The conclusion is that the degradation of the international political system, the ascension of the revisionism, the lack of a coherent dialogue between the representatives of the Romanian political currents, the emerging and the evolution of the extremes represent the causes that led to the collapse of Great Romania, in the summer of 1940. Keywords: right extreme; left extreme; Germany; USSR; revisionism * Ph.D., „CS Nicolăescu Plopșor” Social Humanistic Research Institute, 3rd degree researcher, Craiova; Phone: 0040761617067; Email: [email protected] 62 Great Romania under the Menace of the European Extremism and Revisionism Introduction In the present article, there is to be presented the way in which the Great Union from 1918 was influenced by both the internal and external context.

  • Chgme/1: GENOA/MAJORCA/GENOA/MAJORCA/EGYPT PATTERN/TEMPLATE of + 200 YEARS STILL in USE
    ChGME/1: GENOA/MAJORCA/GENOA/MAJORCA/EGYPT PATTERN/TEMPLATE OF + 200 YEARS STILL IN USE ABSTRACT The Portolan charts of Genoa (or Italy) commencing c1300AD through to +1500AD are all basically constructed from the same Pattern/Template as has been clearly shown in text ChGEN/1. They commenced with Petrus Vesconte and climaxed with Vesconte de Maiollo and then the Maiollo clan’s work. But two eminent practioners of the “art of painting” charts, escaped to warmer climes and the first of them kick started what can only be described as a “golden” period for Portolan Charts and their decoration on the Island of Majorca. The second augmented the genre and ensured the origins of the Portolan Chart, basically Northern Italy/Genoa, was perpetuated by the continual usage of the original Pattern/Template for the Mediterranean Sea Basin. Thus this text follows on from the Genoese exploration of the continued usage of a singular Pattern/Template and further explores the cross fertilisation from City to Island and around the Mediterranean Sea. The text is 20, A4 pages and contains 58, A4 (A3 original) diagrams and 2 tables. ChGME/1: GENOA/MAJORCA/GENOA/MAJORCA/EGYPT PATTERN/TEMPLATE OF + 200 YEARS STILL IN USE INTRODUCTION The Island of Majorca is famed for its Medieval Portolan Charts with their beautiful decoration emanating from the practioners also being originally illustrators and illuminators of manuscripts. Being an Island set centrally in the western Mediterranean Sea between Iberia/France to the west, Italy with Sardinia/Corsica to the east and Africa to the south it was an entrepot, a trade hub, a stopover for navigators who plied their trade on the Seas.

Virgil Nemoianu provides a troublesome image of cultural postmodernism as an epitome of chaos menacing traditional values or as a dangerous network of egalitarian views on literature, art, and reli- gion. His book Postmodernism and Cultural Identities (Spandugino, 2018) seems to bring forth a series of critical outlines which can be read as op- positions to Matei Calinescu’s “fifth face of modernity” (if we employ the framework of Romanian-American critical discourse as a reading background). My paper seeks to identify the “faces” of critical conser- vatism in Nemoianu’s discourse, to find some of their sources in the author’s previous works or in other theoretical approaches to postmod- ernism.

  • Mapa Mondi (Catalan Atlas of 1375), Majorcan Cartographic School, and 14Th Century Asia
    Mapa mondi (Catalan Atlas of 1375), Majorcan cartographic school, and 14th century Asia Vladimír Liščáka a Oriental Institute, Czech Academy of Sciences, Praha, Czechia (Czech Republic); [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: This paper deals with the Mapa mondi drawn and written in about 1375. It is my starting study about this important map of the medieval period in the Catalan language and the finest work to come from the Majorcan cartographic school of the fourteenth century. The aim of this paper is to give a general overview of the publication with some de-tails on descriptions of the portion of Asia, and in more details as regards China. This map is known also as the Catalan Atlas, because it is composed of several tables sketching out the world known at that time, from the Atlantic Coast of Europe to the Pacific Coast of East Asia. The main sources for the eastern parts of the world were travelogues of Marco Polo, John Mandeville, and Odoric of Pordenone. The presumable author of the Catalan Atlas, Cresques Abra-ham (1325–1387), a Jewish cartographer from Palma, was “master of mappæ mundi and compasses” to Peter IV (III), the King of Aragon. He worked on the atlas with his son Jehudà, who after the Aragonese persecutions of 1391, converted to Christianity. The atlas contained the latest information on Africa, Asia, and China and was considered to be the most complete picture of geographical knowledge as it stood in the later Middle Ages. The translations of original texts and interpretations, based on facsimiles of original source and on secondary sources until 2016, will be a part of this paper.

  • Heraldry in Macedonia with Special Regard to the People's/Socialist
    genealogy Article Heraldry in Macedonia with Special Regard to the People’s/Socialist Republic of Macedonia until 1991 Jovan Jonovski Macedonian Heraldic Society, 1000 Skopje, North Macedonia; [email protected] or [email protected]; Tel.: +389-70-252-989 Abstract: Every European region and country has some specific heraldry. In this paper, we will consider heraldry in the People’s/Socialist Republic of Macedonia, understood by the multitude of coats of arms, and armorial knowledge and art. Due to historical, as well as geographical factors, there is only a small number of coats of arms and a developing knowledge of art, which make this paper’s aim feasible. This paper covers the earliest preserved heraldic motifs and coats of arms found in Macedonia, as well as the attributed arms in European culture and armorials of Macedonia, the кing of Macedonia, and Alexander the Great of Macedonia. It also covers the land arms of Macedonia from the so-called Illyrian Heraldry, as well as the state and municipal heraldry of P/SR Macedonia.
