2010, Laudatio, University of Bucharest, Professor honoris causa in History
This is the text written and presented by Professor Radu Dudau, as I was made a Professor honours causa in the University of Bucharest, Romania. The Professorship was awarded unanimously by the Bucharest University's Senate.
We invite you to collaborate with original works on the fifth issue of Brukenthalia. Romanian Cultural Review. We would like to dedicate this issue to the history of The Culture of War, but we also welcome articles concerning other themes (section Miscellanea) and book reviews (the third section of our review). Also, in this issue we aim to deconstruct the culture of war that generated, in the 20th century, the worst forms of dehumanization and liquidation of the Other. According to our publication profile, we give priority to studies of oral history, analysis on war memoires, on literature, action movies, and also to reviews on works that have promoted or debunked the “axiology” of war in the 20th century. We look forward to receiving your full articles until 31 July 2015. We inform you that we strictly have to respect the deadline, as it was imposed us by our sponsor.

Leonidas Rados, Forging the Modern Romanian Intellectual Elite: Andrei Vizanti as a Student in Iași and Madrid2021 •
In the middle of the 19th century, it became increasingly clear that the Romanians were lagging behind Western Europeans. Overcoming these gaps and fulfilling the national goals could only be achieved through progress. As a result, there was an urgent need for well-educated individuals who would spread knowledge and produce science locally. That is why the Romanian authorities encouraged ambitious young people to study abroad. The present paper follows the educational trajectory of Andrei Vizanti, a future professor of history and literature at the University of Iași, who benefited from a Romanian governmental scholarship grant at the Central University of Madrid. Andrei Vizanti’s case is peculiar, for at least two reasons. First, he was sent to study to the University of Madrid, although it was an exotic and hazardous academic destination. The Romanian authorities emphasized the need to connect with other neo-Latin peoples and to facilitate a rapprochement between the Romanians and the Spaniards. The process had already started in 1860, when a group of Romanians was sent to the University of Turin, Italy. Second, at the end of the 19th century, when Vizanti’s career had reached its peak, he was accused of having embezzled money from the National Theater of Iași. Despite the amount being rather small, he evaded the criminal investigation and fled the country, apparently immigrating to the United States.

In the first volume of Swedish Journal of Romanian Studies (ISSN 2003-0924) we are happy to welcome ten articles and two book reviews on Romanian language, literature, culture and film, written either in English or Romanian, by academics from various established universities. Literature section is well represented by authors with affiliation to University of Bucharest, Bucharest University of Economic Studies, The “A. Philippide” Institute of Romanian Philology, Iași, West University of Timișoara and “1 Decembrie 1918” University of Alba Iulia. The articles explore alluring and sensitive issues such as censorship, identity, marginality, prophetism, adaptation or escape, casting innovative visions on the works of canonical Romanian writers (Mihail Sadoveanu, Ionel Teodorenu, Mircea Eliade, Gabriel Liiceanu) and on the creations of less explored artists (Tia Șerbănescu, Liliana Corobca, Henriette Yvonne Stahl, Cătălin Dorian Florescu). Film section benefits from the original insights of academics from Technical University of Civil Engineering, Bucharest and Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași, centring mostly on contemporaneity, in interdisciplinary approaches: a documentary by Sorin Ilieșiu turns out a perfect ground for social semiotics and the Romanian New Wave is decoded through the psychological and social symbolism of colours. Thanks to “1 Decembrie 1918” University of Alba Iulia Cultural studies depict the realm of ethnology and sacred folk literature, dissecting the metamorphosis of a deity from a prehistoric totem, due to the masculine Dacian cults, into a demon with Semite elements, finally corrected by Christian syncretism by its transformation into a legend. The same university offers in the Linguistics section an interdisciplinary approach which combines historical linguistics, semantics, pragmatics, lexicology, lexicography, history and cultural studies in a suggestion for an alternate etymological approach to a few words used to depict the realm of the Dacians in a contemporary novel, a stylistic endeavour which may have actually voiced the little-known substratum idiom. Owing to University of Craiova and Lund University the Book reviews section approaches a Polish exegesis to the philosophical anthropology of Mircea Eliade and a presentation of a literary theory tome (comprising translation studies and semiotic tackling) by Romulus Bucur. Swedish Journal of Romanian Studies is published in collaboration with “1 Decembrie 1918” University of Alba Iulia, Romania and welcomes contributions from scholars all over the world.
The text comprises the "Editor's Note" that I wrote and published in the beginning of each of the 6 volumes of the New Series of Virgil Candea's work "Romanian Traces Abroad".

In the second volume of Swedish Journal of Romanian Studies we are delighted to welcome ten articles and four book reviews on Romanian language, literature, translation, culture and theatre, written in English, French or Romanian, by academics from various traditional universities. Literature section is illustrated by authors with affiliation to The “A. Philippide” Institute of Romanian Philology, Iași, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași, and West University of Timișoara. The articles advance novel insights when inquiring into enticing subjects such as: the bodily community and its representations in the common space of the members of Viața românească literary group, analysed through Roland Barthes’s and Marielle Macéʼs theories; the remix of hajduk fiction in the nineteenth and early twentieth-century Romanian literature, conveying a modern lifestyle; the exile and nostalgia for the native lands in a comparative reading of the works of two seemingly unrelated writers: Andreï Makine and Sorin Titel, both of whom revealed to undergo a pilgrimage to reinvent themselves. Translation studies is a perfect ground for “1 Decembrie 1918” University of Alba Iulia to present a paper dealing with a view on the concept of fidelity in literary translation with an analysis of the Romanian poet Mircea Ivănescu’s work on the overture of episode eleven, “Sirens”, from James Joyce’s “Ulysses”. The paper is not intended to elicit the imperfections of the translation but rather to illustrate the intricacy of the task, the problems of non-equivalence that are difficult to avoid by any literary translator. Theatre section benefits from the original intuitions of academics from National University of Music Bucharest and Military Technical Academy, Bucharest, concentrating on modernity: the importance of the Romanian theatrical project – DramAcum, as a new type of theatre and dramaturgy, within the larger European influence of the verbatim dramatic style performed in theatres under the slogan of the in-yer-face; staging O’Neill’s Hughie by Alexa Visarion makes way for an investigation of several drama reviews that discuss the play’s first night, revealing that the performance was a successful attempt at communicating and debating the conflicted values of American pragmatism and equally a crowning of the Romanian director’s effort to unfold the “anti-materialism” and the fatalistic approach to existence of the American playwright. Owing to University of Bucharest in Cultural studies we witness the reconstruction of the attitudes of Romanian peasants towards the vestiges of prehistoric material culture, finding out what people thought about the origin of prehistoric artefacts and what meanings were associated to them. In the Linguistics section thanks to Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje, and Lund University we are introduced to three perspectives on Romanian language: the destiny of the Latin in the East is interpreted through the pastoral character of Romanity, which led to a population mobility that influenced the language at diatopic level, with a focus on the transhumant shepherds whose travels played a linguistic levelling role, despite the territorial spread of the language; the modern French impact on the Romanian language (the redefining of the neo-Latinic physiognomy of the Romanian language) is detailed from a chronological perspective, the influence of French language being considered from a linguistic perspective, but also with a view to the various social circumstances; last but not least, we are proposed a plea in favor of a linguistic updating, namely the acceptance into the literary language of feminized denominations of professions. Due to University of Oradea, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, and University of Craiova the Book reviews section engages: a tome written by Paul Cernat, an essential study for those interested in the phenomenon of the Romanian avant-garde; a book by Carmen Mușat, which analyzes and systemizes the relational character of literature and the discourses on literature, a plea for the theorist and his presence in the world, retaining a valid purpose; a volume proposing multiple interpretations, in which Carmen Dărăbuş traces the (evolutionary) trajectory of male characters, by highlighting the permanent capabilities of metamorphosis of the primordial pattern; a literary magazine bringing into attention of the contemporary readers the cultural activity of the Romanian intellectuals from exile, with a focus on Camilian Demetrescu. Swedish Journal of Romanian Studies is published in collaboration with “1 Decembrie 1918” University of Alba Iulia, Romania, and welcomes contributions from scholars all over the world.

Social and Administrative Elite in the Romanian Space (15th-19th Centuries)2021 •
In consonance with the newer orientations within Romanian social history, the studies included in this volume are the result of typological or case researches for the Romanian elite. Focusing on the systematic investigation of the sources, they do not omit the sociological theories of the elites, but they start from an idea specific to historical research: the study changing the perspective from micro-history to macro-history, not the other way around; from the great social structures to the life horizons subjected to investigation. Starting from an inspired quote by François Rosset, “life as an oriented path”, the relevance of those topics, considered small or insignificant from the perspective of la longue durée, has been reconsidered lately, in order to identify the features of social groups and the dynamic of social transformations. Under the influence of the dialogue with foreign historiography and of historical comparatism, the social history studies within this volume focus on more varied social typologies and social identities at the level of the Romanian elite. The second section of the volume comprises several studies dedicated to the relations between elite and power, seen as an expression of the relation of domination, institutionally and politically. We dedicated the volume to the memory of the historian Mihai Dim. Sturdza, a true aristocrat in the Romanian historiography of the last decades and, at the same time, an authentic scholar. Our dedication isn’t only the expression of appreciation for the work of the regretted historian, but also of the “genealogical” connection between it and many studies published here.
