DEVELOPMENTS PRECEDING THE CHANGES THAT MARKED THE CULTURE IN CONSTANTA IN 2004

Summary/Abstract: Cultural life in Constanța met in 2004 a series of changes whose consequences are also seen today, many of them irreversibly. However, they had been announced since the late ’90s and the beginning of 2000s through uncertainties, particularly caused by administrative and financial problems faced by the cultural institutions. Thus, in a framework marked by financial difficulties, in particular, the local authorities (Constanța Municipal Council - CLMC), but mostly the county authorities (Constanța County Council - CJC) took measures which affected the cultural institutions. Under these circumstances, the present study aims to identify the causes that led to the reconfiguration of the cultural landscape in 2004, when some cultural institutions merged and other were dissolved. In order to achieve this, I appealed mainly to the administrative documents issued by Constanța County Council, as well as as the printed press of that period which caught „still fresh” the situation of the cultural institutions.
