Rural Cultural Border
Rural Cultural Border

Summary/Abstract: The traditional rural world, culturally very well defined, has been during the last centuries rather in steep collapse in Europe. Even to the extent that it is surviving, it has been culturally contaminated with elements of the dominant urban. In certain areas of Eastern Europe, including Romania, the specific historical circumstances have made the translation towards the urban slower and therefore, cultural elements of archeocivilization imprinted with past ages traits have continued to subsist, as facts of life. The existence of such elements does require knowledge, alongside with their preservation and exploitation not only as cultural heritage of the entire Europe, but also as local, national, regional and European identity elements.
