Silence as a Figural Event: Shakespeare in the Repertory of the National Radio Theatre

Silence as a Figural Event: Shakespeare in the Repertory of the National Radio Theatre

Author(s): Ana-Maria Munteanu / Language(s): English / Issue: 17/2006

Keywords: National Romanian Theater; Shakespeare; crisis contexts; symbolic re-capitalization; de-ideologization; cultural market; reflexive intentionality.

The remarkable coherence of Shakespeare’s broadcast at the National Romanian Theater in successive crisis contexts, both moral and institutional, before and after the events in 1989, explains and participates – in a way that has to be deciphered and understood – at the symbolic re-capitalization of the public service and to the mutual consensus on the role, on the National Broadcast Radio Theatre’s mission in the process of de-ideologization and redefinition of the entire cultural system in the logic of the cultural market. The Shakespearian theatrical laboratory functions symbolically, logically, morally, as a high-accuracy magnifying glass. We will try to accredit the radio-drama as silence-generating polyphony. A silence full of life, amplified by the accelerated movement of signs and of a reflexive, active, intense, open intentionality… In other words, if the theatre is the art of interrogations, then the radio-drama was not during communism and it is not even now a bedtime story for listeners, because theatre listeners are not part of the cliché of the object-listener.Ask the substance and importance of Shakespeare’s plays and the volume of their radio mediation in the context of the period must be appreciated also from the perspective of the cultural production fields’ articulation. Paul Grigoriu, renowned director and former manager of the Romanian Radio Broadcast Society, considers that the radio’s offer, even in the toughest years of the totalitarian regime, “a refuge of the heart”, of certain authenticity, an uncontaminated part of Romanian culture, a kind of “cavern” or island, one could say, in which ideas and imagination have continued to prosper… For the great repertory of the NRT, totalizing more than 2000 titles, an accident-free transition has taken place, and without the noisy de-mythologizing that have affected other authors and the critical canon in general. Shakespeare’s work continues to represent a durable phenomenon, a center of diffusion if the great themes and interrogations, a model, principle, resource of social imagination, emblematic for the construction of reality and “our feeling of present”.

The martyrs of the communist prisons between their Christian identity and the political identity

Martirii temniţelor comuniste între identitatea creştină şi cea politică

Author(s): Dragos-Dumitru Ursu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: Suppl_1/2014

Keywords: închisori politice; ideologie; trăire filocalică; moarte martirică

The purpose of this study is to analyse the particularities of the martyrdom in the communist prisons, evaluating both its Christian and its political components. Based on Ioan Ianolide`s carceral experience, the analysis will be focused on the activity of “the mystics` group” in the prison of Aiud (1941-1947), namely their hesychast effort of achieving “the prayer of the heart”. The extension of the communist repression offered the occasion for transferring the spiritual experience from the prison of Aiud to other political prisons. The intense spiritual phenomenon from the prison of Târgu Ocna, centred on Valeriu Gafencu and Ioan Ianolide, led to another political trial in 1959, condemning religious life under the pretext of political activism. The Aiud re-education phenomenon (1959-1964) was the climax of the repression against faith. The “mystic” prisoners’ victory in the re-education is certified by the prison administration, who acknowledged the mystics as the most dangerous enemies of the communist regime, because of their Christian faith which underlay their resistance.

“Our Faithful Boyars”. Genealogical Connections in the Council of Stephen the Great

„Boierii noştri credincioşi”. Conexiuni genealogice în sfatul domnesc al lui Ştefan cel Mare

Author(s): Lucian-Valeriu Lefter / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2010

Keywords: family; genealogy; Middle Age; Moldavian boyars; Stephen the Great

This paper continues previous research on the genealogy of the boyars of Stephen the Great. We traced only kinship and marriage alliances between them, in order to create an edifying genealogy chart. Considering the work of other researchers, we dealt in detail only with a few hitherto overlooked dignitaries: Sima Zbiarea (1466–1498), Cozma Moghilă (1491–1513), Iaţcu Hudici (1456–1492), Şandru Tolcico (1449–1467), Purece (1491–1494), Luca Arbure (1498–1523), Crasnăş (1458–1467) and Dragoş Boul (1478–1491) – the years represent the period they appeared in the princely council. Up to now, the vast genealogical chart comprises 35 boyars out of more than 110 that were members of the council of Stephen the Great sometime between 1457 and 1504, not counting many others that held no official position. The 35 councilors are the offspring of nearly 30 boyars who were, in their turn, members of the princely councils sometime between the last decades of the 14th century and the beginning of the reign of Stephen the Great. These genealogical findings reveal old family and influence structures, transmitted hereditary, which lay at the basis of the government of Moldavia.

Family models in Banat (19th - 20th Century)

Family models in Banat (19th - 20th Century)

Author(s): Carmen Albert / Language(s): English / Issue: Supplement/2009

Keywords: population; minorities; birth rate; depopulation

The researches led by the Social Institute Banat-Crişana during the interwar period have focused, at least in the first part of its existence on the phenomenon of depopulation, which was researched for two locations: Belinţ and Sârbova. The conclusions made them reasonably believe that low birth rates were due to a reproductive behaviour copied from colonists from Banat, understood as ein, zwei kindersystem. There were other representatives of the Banatian elite who reported the phenomenon and they have observed it through the specifics of their profession. Thus, priests, teachers, doctors had agreed that the number of children decreased rapidly, especially in the case of the Romanian population, which is considered serious for the future of the province. The priests Virgil Pop, Gh. Cotoşman and Şt. Cioroianu, according to their observations or statistics, have concluded that the system was taken from the colonists of different nationalities / religions, becoming extremely dangerous. The German author, E. Feichter, noted the same phenomenon for Hungarian communities in Banat, which meant that not only Romanians faced this phenomenon, but others, too. These findings contradict the hypothesis of M. Kerék arguing that the zweikinder model is taken from the Protestant Hungarian population, through contamination of the Orthodox Romanians. For a clearer understanding of 1-2 children system and how it was transmitted in a sense or another, among different ethnic groups that compose Banat, we conducted a case study on the reproductive behavior of Reşiţa Montan. We believe that the Ethnic diversity of Banat is found at a smaller scale, in this city founded by colonization during the reign of Maria Theresa and of Joseph II. The research of registers of Orthodox, Evangelical, Protestant and Catholic parishes, have revealed data that allowed the conclusion that the Romanian population, which still had before the coexistence with other ethnic groups, a certain specific of the family system, to which there were added the infant mortality and a high rate of deaths, which led to extremely low natural growth, more than for the other nationalities.

Keywords: Timisoara; Newspapers; Banat; Romanian Language; Social

Written press from Timisoara has been carried out in the course of years of a prolific journalistic activity, concretized in appearance of a number of newspapers and magazines, with very rich and varied themes. Through all of its components, the society from Timisoara was extremely fertile for carrying out an intense journalistic activity. Cultural level and, in particular, the wide variety of professional activities, some which were imposing inherently a current and professional information, have created the most favorable conditions for asserting the journalism as a true profession.

Romanian National Party organization activity in the period 1919-1922 Hunedoara County

Activitatea organizaţiei Partidului Naţional Român din judeţul Hunedoara în perioada 1919-1922

Author(s): Marin Pop / Language(s): English,Romanian / Issue: 2/2011

Keywords: Romanian National Party; organization; Hunedoara County; parliamentary elections; Aurel Vlad

The year 1918 meant for the Romanian National Party objectives for which it was founded. He managed the union of all Romanians into one single national state. In this ideal of happy P.N.R. corresponded fully with that of the Romanian people.Greater Romania Party walked in with a broad social base, which allowed him to move on almost the entire political scene and a great political capital.Organization P.N.R. Hunedoara County has also made contribution to the Great Union. Was present, through his delegates, the great national feast. The Governing Council, political leaders have been appointed Hunedoara important functions. Aurel Vlad received from the Finance portfolio and that of Victor Bontescu Agriculture and Trade.Hunedoara County is one of the biggest counties in Transylvania and Banat sent to the Romanian Parliament, the electoral law for Transylvania and Banat, adopted in Sibiu, the Grand National Council, no fewer than 14 deputies and five senators. Most candidates P.N.R. parliamentary elections in November 1919, first in the Greater Romania were elected according to art. 46 of the electoral law, with no rival. Only a few games of the Old Kingdom had branches in Transylvania and Banat, and the Socialists and averescanii have decided to boycott the elections.Hunedoara political leaders Aurel Vlad and Victor Bontescu received important portfolios in the first government of united Romania, Alexandru Vaida Voevod led Transylvania. Unfortunately, the internal elections of 1920 the NRP observed the lack of Aurel Vlad and other political leaders of the Central Executive Committee Hunedoara, the forum's governing party, although by that time Aurel Vlad acting as secretary general.In parliamentary elections in 1920, although he was 9 circumscripţii the House and the Senate in May, the organization PNR failed to send any representative in Parliament of the country. The same thing happened in the parliamentary elections in March 1922. The reason attributed to the leaders of Hunedoara were huge electoral fraud and abuse of government officials who organized the election.In conclusion, it can be said that partial elections, as the general period 1919-1922 had a special stake. In particular in 1922, was announced as the new Parliament and considered by liberals as a Constituent Assembly, which had the task to draft a new constitution. In this respect, he needed two thirds of the number of MPs, which led to the use of all means to achieve this objective election. Another conclusion would be that P.N.R. had yet political monopoly in Transylvania and Banat, was voted by the majority ethnic Romanian electorate. Liberals, although they were subordinate local administration had not managed yet to organize branches in the provinces strong. Organization P.N.R. Hunedoara County remains strong, but there is a retreat from the forefront of the party organization's president, Aurel Vlad, and the emergence of conflicts within the organization, which eventually will settle. Began a long period of opposition, until 1928 when, after the merger with the Peasant Party and the establishment in 1926 of the National Peasant Party, was called to power. In fact, entry into opposition P.N.R. began on March 12, 1920 when he was dismissed unfairly, the first government of Greater Romania, led by Alexandru Vaida Voevod.

Children Burials in Northern Thracian Settlements During the Iron Age

Înmormântări de copii în așezările tracilor nordici în Epoca Fierului

Author(s): Valeriu Sîrbu,Diana Dăvîncă / Language(s): English,Romanian / Issue: 1/2016

Keywords: children; Northern Thracians; burial practices; Iron Age;

In the case of the northern Thracians we will consider the area comprised between Balkans, Tisza and Dniestr and the chronological framework of the 12th c. BC till the 1st c. AD.The burial of children in settlements happened concurrently with their deposition in regular cemeteries, surprising remaining for some periods only the larger number of children found in non-funerary contexts and, in cases, some differences in rituals and funerary inventory between the two categories of sites.No written source makes any mention regarding the manner in which the northern Thracians treated their deceased children, the diseases they suffered from, the criteria that mattered when deciding that some children were buried in the settlements and others in the cemeteries, the rituals practiced at their burials. Only in few cases there were noticed traces of violence on the children bones, and even then it was not clear if they could be considered cause of death or were subsequently applied. In the same time, it is known that there are killing methods that do not leave marks visible on the bones (suffocation, poisoning, drowning).The large number of children deposited inside settlements can be explained, first of all, by the increased child mortality rate of the past and by the mentality of many archaic populations to bury their children close to the house. In many situations the lack of skeletons parts can be explained by the post-mortem manipulation of the deceased, on the basis of specific beliefs, now difficult to define.

Historical Details Regarding the Way Diocesan Consistories Functioned in Transylvania and Banat during the Usage of Şaguna’s Status

ELEMENTE ISTORICE DESPRE FUNCŢIONALITATEA CONSISTORIILOR DIECEZANE DIN TRANSILVANIA ŞI BANAT ÎN PERIOADA STATUTULUI ŞAGUNIAN

Keywords: The Romanian Orthodox Church; Ecclesial administration; Metropolitan Andrei Şaguna; Diocesan Consistory; Transylvania and Banat;

The Orthodox Church was always sensitive to the historical realities. The Church expresses itself through doctrines and by the administrative management form that it promotes. In time, in strong connection with all social changes, Church‟s administrative norms of management have multiplied, and regulations and statutes were create. From a historical point of view, these regulations and statutes ruled all administrative-ecclesial life. Such is the example of Şaguna‟s Status, one of the most well known Status of all time. It is a Status from which some basic principles and some elements are still in use in contemporary ecclesial laws. The present study refers to the way in which Diocesan Consistories, or the executive management of a Diocese, functioned.

Concept of intangible asset in the Romanian civil law

Noţiunea de bun incorporal în dreptul civil român

Author(s): Valeriu Stoica / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 03/2017

Keywords: good; appropriation; asset; intangible asset; property rights; real rights; succession as a whole; factual universality; intellectual creation;

Intangible assets are a species of assets, so that the species may not be understood without the gender. Consequently, the delimitation of the concept of asset is indispensable for the understanding of the concept of intangible asset. Moreover, as the concept of asset itself is the species of a larger gender, respectively, of the concept of good, it is useful to clarify its meaning. In the legal sense, good means any material (tangible) or non-material (intangible) asset of the objective realty and which has its own stable and autonomous configuration; the asset is the tangible or intangible good that acquires economic value due to appropriation, namely, insofar as it is subject to the ownership right or of another real right; the intangible assert is an intangible good that acquires economic value due to appropriation, based on the authorization of law and on its establishment on a material support. On the basis of these definitions, an inventory may be made for the intangible assets and the real rights established in their favor. There are three categories of intangible assets: the property rights (the ownership right, in a typical or non-typical form; the right of usufruct and the surface right; the bare ownership right corresponding to one of these dismemberments), the succession as a whole as a legal universality and the universalities of fact, as well as the intellectual creation, all these if only they are appropriated. This appropriation, more generally, is made by the legal mechanism of the ownership right, in a typical or non-typical form, of the right of usufruct and of the bare ownership right corresponding to it or to the mortgage right. The practical interest of the concept of intangible asset summarizes at least three aspects: first, as a result of its appropriation, the intangible assets are subject to certain real rights, whose value increases the asset of the estates substantially held by natural persons and legal entities and which, in this manner, enrich the society; then, the safety of obligations related relationships grew as a result of the increase of property assets of debtors by the real rights covered by intangible assets or as a result of the debtors’ possibility of guaranteeing not only against property items considered individually, but also against legal or factual universalities; finally, the absence of the possession as a state of affairs required the research and the development of certain adequate legal techniques which should protect both the holders of the rights established over these intangible assets, and their creditors holding collaterals established over the respective rights. The Electronic Archive for Security Interests in Movable Property is an institution that gathers such legal techniques and that proved its efficiency and viability.

Keywords: the Choir of Orăştie;Conductor;Choral activities;Choral competition;Ioan Bena;Ioan Branga;Nicolae Praţia;Ioan Popa;Petru Androne Eli;

The Choir of Orăştie does not have the meaning of a single musical activity, it has the meaning of an entire choral tradition of Orăştie. The first conductor for the choir of Orăştie was Ioan Bena. His choral activity was continued by the teacher Ioan Branga. After World War I, the choral activities of Orăştie were supervised by the conductor Nicolae Praţia, a great music teacher and an important composer from this area. In the communist period, the main conductor of the choirs from here was Ioan Popa, the most important musician of Orăştie. This teacher won a lot of prizes at the main choral competitions of his time. Since 1996 the music teacher Petru Androne Eli has founded the choir ,,Vlăstarele Orăştiei”, that won a lot of prizes in Romanian or international choral competitions. The conductors mentioned here and those who are mentioned in our historical project are very important in studying the choral activities and choral competition form Orăştie.

Bishop Nicolae Colan and Bishop Iuliu Hossu, flashbacks of a brotherly closeness

Episcopul Nicolae Colan şi Episcopul Iuliu Hossu, secvenţe dintr-o frăţească apropiere

Author(s): Bogdan-Paul Ivanov / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 04/2017

Keywords: Bishop Nicolae Colan; greek-catholic Bishop Iuliu Hossu; Horthy occupation; Cluj; Romanian resistance; local ecumenism;

The image of Bishop Nicolae Colan has a special glow because he was the only orthodox bishop who took care of the orthodox faithful în North-West Transilvania during the Horthy occupation. This important episode of his life, as well as the profile of a romanian world collapsed under the burden of unfulfilled ideals, but, especially, the warm brotherhood he cultivated with the greek-catholic Bishop Iuliu Hossu are some aspects highlighted în this small historical reenactment. Cluj was not exactly showing the image of a capitulated city because, against all pressures and inherent fears, the orthodox and the greek-catholic Bishops were still there and with them, all the romanian hopes of changing things to the way they were after the Great Union. În Cluj, between 1940-1944, Bishop Nicolae Colan together with the greek-catholic Bishop Iuliu Hossu represented the heart of the ro- manian resistance through a peaceful resistance, cultivating a genuine local ecumenism.

In the Vineyard of Negrupunte. War, Memoirs, Folklore

În vie la Negrupunte. Război, memorie, folclor

Author(s): Lucian-Valeriu Lefter / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 22/2022

Keywords: First World War; oral history; battles of Mărășești; war songs;

On the occasion of the centenary of King Ferdinand and Queen Mary’s coronation in Alba-Iulia, on October, 15, 1922, following the Great Union of 1918 which placed Romania within the borders of nowadays (except for Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina, provinces lost in 1944), we are bringing to light the testimonies of those who participated during the First World War in the battles of Mărășești and Oituz, in the summer of 1917, recorded and preserved in the folklore archive. At the same time, the impact of the war on the collective consciousness determined the creation of songs which evoke war stories. The soldier’s song, known as “The song of the one dying on the front”, which evokes the soldier who fought both in the Balkans, in 1877, and in the Carpathians, in 1916, represents the leitmotif of these lament songs, folk and erudite creations with powerful patriotic accents. The most popular songs of the kind date back to the First World War. The battles of the Second World War were evoked in folk songs, such as the battles on the Dniester, of Odessa or Stalingrad, but failed to be published and were subject to the ideological censorship of the Communist regime, still being preserved in the collections and the recordings of the folklore archive.
