The July Theses

Summary/Abstract: The “Remember” section of the magazine takes us back in time, in 1971 when the July Theses were proposed and approved under the Ceauşescu regíme. The theses marked the end of a period of relative cultural “softening” and the beginning of a period marked by severe interdictions and totalitarist measures, wearing the characteristic mark of “Ceausism”. The Remember chapter begins with the rationale explaining why the theses were approached, followed by the text of the Theses and Ceauşescu’s speech and the article of writers commenting the event and its consequences on the Romanian culture.
