  • Iuliu Maniu and Corneliu Zelea Codreanu Against King Carol
    Reluctant Allies? Iuliu Maniu and Corneliu Zelea Codreanu against King Carol II of Romania Introduction Iuliu Maniu is today regarded as the principle upholder of democratic and constitutional propriety in interwar Romania. As leader of the Romanian National Peasant Party throughout much of the interwar period and the Second World War, he is generally considered to have tried to steer Romania away from dictatorship and towards democracy. Nevertheless, in 1947 Maniu was arrested and tried for treason together with other leaders of the National Peasant Party by the communist authorities. The charges brought against Maniu included having links to the ‘terrorist’ and fascist Romanian Legionary movement (also known as the Iron Guard). The prosecutors drew attention not only to the entry of former legionaries into National Peasant Party organizations in the autumn of 1944, but also to Maniu’s electoral non- aggression pact of 1937 with the Legionary movement’s leader, Corneliu Zelea Codreanu. The pact had been drawn up to prevent the incumbent National Liberal government manipulating the elections of December 1937. Maniu had subsequently acted as defence a witness at Codreanu’s trial in 1938. 1 Since the legionaries were regarded by the communists as the agents of Nazism in Romania, Maniu was accordingly accused of having encouraged the growth of German influence and fascism in Romania.2 Maniu was sentenced to life imprisonment and died in Sighet prison in 1953. Possibly no single act of Maniu’s interwar career was more condemned within Romanian communist historiography than his electoral pact with the allegedly Nazi- 1 Marcel-Dumitru Ciucă (ed.), Procesul lui Iuliu Maniu, Documentele procesului conducătorilor Partidului Naţional Ţărănesc, 3 volumes, Bucharest, 2001, vol.

  • Cultural Nationalism Alongside Official State Building
    Cultural Nationalism alongside Official State-Building: The Romanian Cultural League in the Interwar Period By Anca Mandru Submitted to Central European University History Department In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Constantin Iordachi Second Reader: Professor Marsha Siefert CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2009 Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author.

CEU eTD Collection i Abstract This thesis uses the case study of the Romanian Cultural League in the interwar period to question generally held assumptions about the development and endurance of cultural nationalism and its characteristics. The thesis finds that in the Romanian case cultural nationalism has survived the fulfillment of its goals by the creation of Greater Romania in 1918 and readjusted its program to the context of the interwar period. A survey of the League’s program and activity shows that the cultural nationalism advocated by the organization coexisted and complemented the official projects aimed at creating a cohesive national culture. The League engaged in cultural practices aimed at a moral regeneration of the community and a cultural unification of the various traditions characteristic to the provinces making up interwar Romania.

In Romania, the crisis made itself felt with a time lag, and had specific features combining the general issues with the local ones, which were typical of the weaknesses the domestic economy was mired in. This paper is aimed at showing how Romania was affected by the economic crisis that brought a plethora of events in its tail. It focuses particularly on the role played by the National Bank of Romania in its capacity as an issuing house. In order to provide a multifaceted image of the crisis, the introductory part of the present paper deals with an overview of the developments in the Romanian economy in the course of the first inter-war decade. Key words: Great Depression, National Bank of Romania, banking system, public debt, monetary policy. JEL Code: B25, N24 The National Bank of Romania during The Great Depression 1929-1933 1.

  • Beatrice Boban University of Bucharest Art Collecting In
    VII International Forum for Doctoral Candidates in East European Art History organized by the Chair of East European Art History, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. The Forum had been previously planned to take place on 30th April 2020, but has been suspended due to COVID 19 crisis. Beatrice Boban University of Bucharest Art Collecting in Romanian Interwar Space, A Symptom of Modernity Subject The Romanian interwar art collecting seems to be a modern-wise collecting, a symptom of Western modernity, outlined on the one hand, by the collector’s identity through aesthetic and applied taste, and by the option for eclecticism and historicism specific to the nineteenth century European, and on the other hand, by the identity of the collection given by the great Western models visible in themes and architecture. This research is focused on the art collectors’ museum-houses, whose particular specificity seems to frame a cultural, artistic and museum discourse that places the phenomenon of Romanian art collecting in the direct descent of the Western model. Moreover, the enthralled trace of the creator, the historic museum-house is today one of the most sought after museum structures, by the visitors who transform the meeting with the museum and the exhibition into a lifestyle and a social fact. However, the interest for the interwar art collecting in the Romanian Kingdom was limited to a few articles and studies related to certain works of art and oriented to the problematization of their authenticity and provenance in their great majority, or with the figures of some collectors considered to be emblematic for the phenomenon.

  • George Matei Cantacuzino: a Role Model in Architecture
    George Matei Cantacuzino: A Role Model in Architecture Ioana Cătălina Antaluță and Bogdan Olariu* Abstract: One of the most remarkable Romanian architects of the 20th century, George Matei Cantacuzino (1899 – 1960) is the creator of a theoretical and practical work, as well as an educational one that needs to be explored and understood in its very own articulations; especially, because the particular discretion characterizing the author and his lesser known but so important contribution he has brought in a too short life. By combining traditional and neoclassical Romanian style of building with an original manner of interweaving elements of classicism, Renaissance and modernism, G. M. Cantacuzino left a memorable legacy not merely as an architect and urban designer, but also as a theoretician, restorer, painter, essayist, aesthetician, historian and professor, whose complex work is worth to be earnestly investigated and revealed. In this article we try to emphasize some peculiarities of an exceptional personality having a considerable influence on the development of the contemporary Romanian theory, practice and education in architecture. Keywords: George Matei Cantacuzino, architectural theory and practice, classic attitude, Brâncovenesc style, architect role model A VERY SHORT BIOGRAPHY George Matei Cantacuzino was born in Vienna, in 11/23 May 1899, into a family of Romanian nobility, as the son of the diplomat Nicolae B. Cantacuzino – belonging to the Wallachian Cantacuzino branch of an old Romanian aristocratic family (see Gaster 1911, 208) – and of Marcela Bibescu – the granddaughter of Gheorghe Bibescu the Prince of Wallachia between 1843 and 1848. After spending the first ten years in the Austrian capital, the young George Matei attended high schools at Montreux and Lausanne; and, in 1916, he graduated “Saint Sava” National College in Bucharest.

  • Between Orthodoxy & the Nation: Traditionalist Definitions Of
    BETWEEN ORTHODOXY AND THE NATION. TRADITIONALIST DEFINITIONS OF ROMANIANNESS IN INTERWAR ROMANIA By IonuĠ Florin BiliuĠă Submitted to Central European University History Department In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Assistant Professor Balázs Trencsènyi Second Reader: Assistant Professor Constantin Iordachi CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2007 Abstract The aim of the present thesis is to provide an analysis of the cultural debates of interwar Romania regarding the definition of the character of the Romanian ethnicity in connection with Orthodox spirituality and institutional Orthodoxy. This thesis will focus on the traditionalist side of the debate as depicted in the works of Nichifor Crainic (1889–1972) and Nae Ionescu (1890–1940). This paper goes between two definitions of Romanianness that introduce Orthodoxy in explaining its specificity. One (several) of Nichifor Crainic, an integrative cultural vortex that comprises traditional rural culture and Orthodoxy and a radicalized one of Nae Ionescu that conditioned the Romanianness to its direct link with Orthodoxy thus distinguishing between “true” Romanian and “good” Romanian. I have tried to account for the lack of dialogue between the promoters of these definitions and their legacy in Romanian culture.

  • ACTA UNIVERSITATIS DANUBIUS Vol. 10, No. 1/2016
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS DANUBIUS Vol. 10, No. 1/2016 Journalism – the Oddities of a Profession Fănel Teodorașcu1 Abstract: In order to highlight the current journalism foibles, some voices bring for other journalists of other time overstatements, in some cases even undeserved. While it may seem shocking to some, the press was never flawless. Despite this, the public tends to judge, perhaps too harshly, the value of nowadays journalistic publications, referring to the realities of other eras. Thus, post-communist journalist is considered inferior to the communist one, because the latter would not ever be allowed to publish the horrors that today we encounter in newspapers, on the internet or in broadcasts on radio or television. The result of man's press from the communist era is considered, however, much less valuable than the product which the journalist of interwar years offered to the public. Finally, for some editors or reporters of the years between the two World Wars, the absolute journalist model was Mihai Eminescu, who despite personal exceptional value, he was representative of a press still inferior in many respects to that of the interwar period. In this paper, our intention is to show some of the major shortcomings that have been alleged against the press throughout its existence. In our approach we will not limit, but only to texts targeting newspapers and journalists in Romania. Keywords: history of media; blackmail; newspaper; the interwar period; school of journalism 1. Conceptual Delimitations The Newspaper, according to C. Bacalbaşa, does not have at the origins of its emergence some cultural or spiritual needs, but the desire of the public to receive the information that they need faster and systematically.
