Recourse to Memory (and Tradition) in the Construction of Non-perishable Identities The Risk of a Programmed Suicide for an Amnesiac Europe

Summary/Abstract: In capturing the Romanian “imaginary nation,” a crucial role is played by the Orthodox component(collective and individual), just as, in capturing the European identity, Christianity has a fundamental role (the triad: Jerusalem–Rome–Athens). This study, structured into three complementary sections—Contextualization: Europe is becoming more and more fragile every day because it no longer has the strength to believe in something (1); Repositioning towards the national idea or constantly relearning to love. The twisted neo-imperative of severing memory. Hatred—a fuel of history?(2); Collective psycho-diagnostic and Romanian destiny within the European context (3)—is trying to focus readers’ attention on the importance of memory (individual and collective, conscious and unconscious) in the foundation, affirmation and survival of significant identities.
