The Genesis of the Engineer in the Romanian Culture. the Asachi Model
THE GENESIS OF THE ENGINEER IN THE ROMANIAN CULTURE. THE ASACHI MODEL MIHAI DORIN Abstract. The modern industrial revolution promoted a new intellectual profession: the engineer as a project creator. Thus industrialization which determined in its turn the modernization of our society institutionalized the engineer as well. At the beginning of the 19th century, an age in which the need for social economical need for engineers appeared the European world was changing and the Romanian society was launching its first projects, trying to synchronize with the Western World. Gheorghe Asachi, the most educated Romanian at the time had both the knowledge and the idealism to launch an important cultural challenge: the organization of engineering education in the Romanian language. The cultural project was therefore doubled by the national one, the latter one competing for the emancipation of the Romanian language from under the Greek influence. Guided by this symbol of national rebirth, the first modern project of university education was launched in Iasi, in 1813, being dedicated to teaching engineers. Thus the Romanian culture showed its ability to formulate projects and generate modernity. The modern Romanian culture defined its programme during the transition at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th. In the Romanian society of the time we meet social spaces and ‘multilevelled’ personalities1, beings with two, three and even five strata, according to C. Noica2. The cultural effort focused on synchronizing with Europe, the result being the appearance of a heroic and messianic culture. M. Eliade stated that very few people “had to do everything very fast.

În istoria poporului nostru, sunt precursori a căror dăruire stă jertfă în zidirea trainică a învățământului și culturii. Fără munca lor neobosită, fără talentul și spiritul lor de inițiativă, edificiul spiritualității românești ar fi întârziat să se ridice. Acești făuritori de știință și cultură națională s-au străduit să sincronizeze spiritualitatea românească cu marile culturi europene, transformând actul de cultură într-un mijloc de luptă pentru idealurile sfinte ale poporului român. Un astfel de precursor, a fost cărturarul și omul de școală Gheorghe Asachi, considerat pe bună dreptate părintele și întemeietorul învățământului superior tehnic-ingineresc în limba română, de la crearea căruia se împlinesc 200 de ani. Gheorghe Asachi s-a născut la 1 martie 1788 în târgușorul Herța, din părinți moldoveni de obârșie transilvăneană. Tatăl său Lazăr (Leon) Asachi, preot, a fost unul din spiritele cele mai cunoscute ale timpului, om de aleasă cultură, cunoscător a multor limbi străine, traducător iscusit, care în publicații își mărturisea cele mai curate sentimente patriotice, gândind și simțind ca și cronicarii moldoveni, ca și învățații ardeleni, susținători ai originii latine a poporului român. Ca preot a ocupat diferite funcții, ajungând în final prim- protopop al Moldovei. După moartea soției, se călugări sub numele de Leon, primind rangul de arhimandrit. Mama sa, Elena Asachi, fiica preotului Nicolai Ardeleanu, era o fire cultivată, un spirit generos, care și-a dedicat toate energiile pentru educarea celor patru copii ai săi, trei băieți și o fată, Gheorghe Asachi fiind primul dintre ei.

Universitatea Din Bucureşti
Romanoslavica vol. XLVI, nr. 3 GHEORGHE ASACHI ŞI CĂLĂTORIA SA ÎN RUSIA (1830) Radu MÂRZA Gheorghe Asachi (1788-1869) is one of the best-known Romanian men of culture from the first half of the nineteenth century. He is known for his literary and journalistic activity as well as his contribution to the organization of the Romanian higher education system. However, his political activity is less known. Asachi was one of the artisans and leading figures of the Organic Regulations regime, introduced in Moldavia by the Russian occupation regime beginning with 1830. In 1830 he traveled to Sankt Petersburg in his capacity as secretary of the committee that drafted the Organic Regulation for Moldavia. Following this trip, he published a travel diary entitled Estract din jurnalul unui călători moldovean [Excerpt from the Diary of a Moldavian Traveler] in the „Albina românească” newspaper (1830). The present article discusses this diary and argues that Asachi presents Russia as a model of development and civilization and as an alternative to the traditional cultural models that were prevalent in the Romanian society at the time (the French and German models). One should connect Asachi’s image of Russia to the propagandistic effort of the Russian authorities to improve the image of the country in the Romanian Principalities. Key words: Gheorghe Asachi, modernisation, Russia, travelers, cultural models, neologisms in Romanian Scăparea noastră vine de la Nord. Totul ne leagă de Rusia; ea e mama noastră1. Comparativ cu primele decenii postbelice, cercetările româneşti cu privire la legăturile culturale şi istorice ale spaţiului nostru cu Rusia s-au redus în ultima perioadă, dar pot fi menţionate preocupări pentru legăturile lui Dimitrie Cantemir cu Rusia, intervenţia rusă în revoluţia de la 1848 din Principate etc.

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.

Some Thoughts on the Historical Writing in the Former Half of the Nineteenth Century Romania
HISTORIOGRAPHIE ROUMAINE AUX XIX ET XX SIÈCLES SOME THOUGHTS ON THE HISTORICAL WRITING IN THE FORMER HALF OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY ROMANIA ALEXANDRU ISTRATE The beginning of the 19th century Romania witnessed the first rather timid increasingly frequent expressions of assumed positions regarding the manner in which the writers of the age understood to make their opinions clear on two points: firstly, the drafting of texts and secondly, and most importantly for the next stage, the way those texts could have the most visible and strong effect on the readers. This was a new practice meant to increase the responsibility of the creative act and invest it with a new valence, somewhat dependant on the commissoners’ tastes and culture. The writing of books out of books, a perfectly normal reality in the old culture', no longer found its use in its relationship with the possible readers, increasingly prepared to cover numberless pages of a subject more than familiar, result of a sterile repetition of events of no fundamental representative significance to them, which did not meet the dilemmas of their past. Two major problems were taking shape at the horizon and required an immediate solution: firstly, the type of editorial policy to be adopted, with all its implications and, secondly, the validation of another type of writing, periodically enriched in topics, which was conditioned among other things by the readers’ requests, the latter increasingly taken into more serious consideration after 1800. Beside its purely formal side, the dialogue with the readers aimed at detecting the preferences of the regular subscribers, whose minimal expectations needed to be met in order to ensure the distribution of the subsequent issues.

Timeline / Before 1800 to 1890 / FINE and APPLIED ARTS
Timeline / Before 1800 to 1890 / FINE AND APPLIED ARTS Date Country Theme 1700 - 1750s Germany Fine And Applied Arts "Palace Schwetzingen" is bulit and flourised under the Palatine Prince Elector Carl Theodor. The baroque castle complex includes more than 100 sculptures and a "Türkischer Garten" ("Turkish Garden") with a mosque, biult from 1779 to 1791, that makes it the earliest mosque- style in Germany and the largest structure of its kind in a german garden. It was designed by Nicolas de Pigage. However the oriental details are not for religious but for decorative purposes. 1770 - 1830 Germany Fine And Applied Arts The painting by Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein, Goethe in der Campagna (1786/87), exemplifies Classicism in art at this time. 1777 - 1810 Portugal Fine And Applied Arts Under Queen Maria I (1734–1816) and King João VI (1767–1826) a new neoclassical decorative grammar replaces the dominant rococo style. Besides French and English influences, the main features of the furniture are the carving of classical inspiration and the inlay work using various woods, creating both geometrical and floral compositions. About 1790 - About 1850 France Fine And Applied Arts As in literature, painting sees a similar confrontation between Neoclassicism (e.g. the work of Ingres) and Romanticism, the latter also influencing sculpture. Academicism endured throughout the 19th century (i.e. Bouguereau, Gérôme and Cabanel). 1790 - 1840 Germany Fine And Applied Arts The painting by Caspar David Friedrich, Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer (1818), exemplifies Romanticism in art at this time. 1810 - 1880 Tunisia Fine And Applied Arts Buildings present innovation in their architecture, decoration and positioning.

Cultural Liminality and Hybridity: the Romanian "Transition"
Cultural Liminality and Hybridity: The Romanian "Transition" Monica Popescu, University ofPennsylvania In Tarrying with the Negative, Slavoj Zizek discusses the fascinating image of the Romanian flag with its national emblem cut out as a most "salient index of the 'open' character of a historical situation in its becoming," which is characteristic of "that intermediate phase when the former Master-Signifier, although it has already lost the hegemonical power, has not yet been replaced by the new one" (1993:1). With this image, Zizek opens up a discussion not only about a brief "intermediate phase" (as his own interpretation would read), but also about an indeterminately long period of cultural, political, and economic ambiguity, a time of hybridity which most Eastern European countries have termed "Transition."1 There has to be something inherently appealing about the term and the promises of its semantic configuration since, more than a decade after 1989, most postcommunist countries still admit to be in Transition. In transition to what, one could legitimately ask. The answer seems to have been lost somewhere along the way, or it seems so obvious (to a Western democratic system and a capitalist economy) that it can be easily left implicit. Transition stands for cultural uncertainty, for economic or politic blunders that are easier to forgive because the "true order" has not yet been achieved. This cultural "inbetweenness" is prolific and seductive since Transition also stands for cultural ventures with new expressive vocabularies that include grotesque, violent language or imagery, and nudity. In short, Transition has become a rhetorical strategy, a magic word in postcommunist countries-a word that is hardly expected to explain the status quo, but which provides a convenient label that can excuse negative aspects of the society.
