THE LEGIONARY MOVEMENT AND THE CHALLENGES OF MODERNITY

Summary/Abstract: The Legionary Movement and the Challenges of Modernity. Drawing upon valuable recent contributions brought about by an expanding new historio- graphical consensus in fascist studies, this article will briefly explore the manner in which the Legion of the Archangel Michael, regarded as the Romanian version of fascism, assigned significance to the evolution of historical and suprahistorical time, mainly but not exclusively focusing on modernity as a central component of the temporal pattern put forth by the movement. A careful selection of Legionary as- sessments of the modern era will be integrated into a wider temporal projection, as- sembled from various primary sources of notable ideological relevance. The result- ing theoretical instrument which the article proposes is a sequential model consist- ing of five distinct, yet profoundly related chronological phases identifiable in Le- gionary thought, which will be successively analyzed in the course of the paper.
