Collective Memory and National Identity in Post-Communist Romania: Representations of the Communist Past in Romanian News Media and Romanian Politics (1990 - 2009)
COLLECTIVE MEMORY AND NATIONAL IDENTITY IN POST-COMMUNIST ROMANIA: REPRESENTATIONS OF THE COMMUNIST PAST IN ROMANIAN NEWS MEDIA AND ROMANIAN POLITICS (1990 - 2009) A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Constanta Alina Hogea May 2014 Examining Committee Members: Carolyn Kitch, Advisory Chair, Journalism Nancy Morris, Media Studies and Production Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Journalism Mihai Coman, External Member, University of Bucharest © Copyright 2014 by Constanta Alina Hogea All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT My dissertation situates at the intersection of communication studies and political sciences under the umbrella of the interdisciplinary field of collective memory. Precisely, it focuses on the use of the communist past by political actors to gain power and legitimacy, and on the interplay between news media and politics in shaping a national identity in post-communist Romania. My research includes the analysis of the media representations of two categories of events: the anniversaries of the Romanian Revolution and the political campaigns for presidential/parliamentary elections. On the one hand, the public understanding of the break with communism plays an important role in how the post-communist society is defined. The revolution as a schism between the communist regime and a newborn society acts like a prism through which Romanians understand their communist past, but also the developments the country has taken after it. On the other hand, political communication is operating on the public imaginary of the past, the present and the future. The analysis of the political discourses unfolded in the news media shows how the collective memory of the communist past is used to serve political interests in the discursive struggle for power and legitimacy. -
A New French Revolution? an Integrative Approach in the Analysis
A New French Revolution? An integrative approach in the analysis of the Romanian transition A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Cand. Polit. Øyvind E. Lervik Department of Comparative Politics, University of Bergen, Norway February 2001 Avdeling for forskningsdokumentasjon, Universitetsbiblioteket i Bergen, 27.03.2001 SUMMARY This thesis has focued on the Romanian transition. The critical period concerned was from March 1989, with apparent signs of liberalisation, to the 1990 elections. Romania differed from the East and Central European transitions and the background of these cases. The Integrative Approach provided the analytical framework for relations between relevant structural characteristics and the violent revolution. An examination of several levels of aggregation gave actors’ preferences and the context of the transition, forming the basis for a game theoretic analysis. The issues justifying a transition questions and its proceedings were scrutinised. Selected theories in transitology were elaborated in light of these requirements. The study thus gave a methodological critique as well. The conclusions both gave insight into the forces that provoked the Romanian transition and illustrated how it was supervised. The observations provide contributions to generalisations on rational choices under transitions’ structural constraints, if supplemented with similar theoretical approaches to other cases. The Romanian transition was incomparable to the French revolution. Avdeling for forskningsdokumentasjon, -

L’histoire du postcommunisme commence dans l’imaginaire collectif avec la chute du Mur de Berlin, le symbole pour presque 40 ans de la division Est-Ouest. Pour les Roumains, la date symbole pour la fin du régime communiste est le 22 Décembre 1989. Certainement, la surévaluation d’un court moment, la chute des régimes communistes n’est pas porteuse en elle-même. Néanmoins, son caractère et son déploiement influencent de manière significative la manière dont se construit, se consolide le régime démocratique d’après2. Cependant cette étude suit une niche particulière de l’étude des fondements démocratiques postautoritai- res/communistes, c’est-à-dire la construction de la réalité révolutionnaire par l’intermédiaire des médias étrangers. -

ROMANIA's UNFINISHED REVOLUTION Anneli Ute Gabanyi ROMANIA, a SPECIAL CASE AGAIN?
ROMANIA'S UNFINISHED REVOLUTIONl Anneli Ute Gabanyi ROMANIA, A SPECIAL CASE AGAIN? From the moment the megalomaniac "Great Leader" Nicolae CeaU§eSCD, who turned his onetime maverick country into the new basket case ofEurope, was overthrown, Romania became a special case again. It has opted for neither the gradual transformation chosen by Poland and Hungary nor the "velvet" revolutions of Czechoslovakia and the now defunct German Democratic Republic; even in Bulgaria, the coup that toppled Todor Zhivkov was not violent. But in Romania, the popular uprising that led to Ceau§escu's overthrow on 22 December 1989 cost 1,033 lives, inflicted heavy suffering to a further 2,198 people, and damaged buildings, some of them historically significant. Violence became common in the spontaneous demonstrations and counter demonstrations sponsored by the regime that took place in Bucharest in January and February as well as in the ethnic clashes that rocked the Transylvanian city of TIrgu-Murei in March. In June 1990, gangs of miners from the Jiu Valley, who had previously raided Bucharest twice chanting "We are working, not thinking," descended on the capital again to "protect" the country's president. Their attacks on demonstrating students, critical intellectuals, and politicians, were clearly targeted at discouraging the country's parliamentary and extra-parliamentary opposition and dealt a heavy blow to the international prestige of the new Romanian leadership and to the country's reputation as a whole. This violent aspect of Romania's post-Cea.uiescu developments was from the very beginning not a spontaneous part of the revolutionary process but an element consciously introduced by various players to achieve specific goals.
