No full textA fost Dimitrie Gusti (doar) tehnician în guvernul ţărănist? Was Dimitrie Gusti (only) Technician in the Peasantry Government?
No full textThis paper, aiming to clarify the Professor Gusti’s position within the government between 1932 and 1933, tries to gather necessary arguments against the belief which emerged in the fifties and still valid until present days, that Dimitrie Gusti was promoted in the government of the Peasantry Party because he was a good specialist and technician, and not because his political choice towards Peasantry Party. Besides the significant antecedents which prove the permanent and powerful connection with the elite of the Peasantry Party since the beginning of the 20s, he also had an interest in the villages. The Professor’s political behavior during governing might be described by loyalty and dedication in order to fulfill the governing programme of the party. More than that, Dimitrie Gusti, even in 1934, when the National Peasantry Party was in opposition, he claimed the accuracy of its political programme and participated in the conception of the Party’s new programme. The clarification of the professor’s position within the Peasantry Party government period is suitable especially for the analysis of his ideological position, which still arises perfectly justified debates. This analysis is legitimate not only for clearing the Professor’s position, but also for the National Peasantry Party
Statul ţărănesc (1933). Notiţe (document inedit): Peasant State (1933). Notes (previously unpublished)
No full textI consider necessary that this original text be published. It’s a composition which was clearly elaborated in the context and with the intent to contribute to the debates of the publication "Dreapta" [The Right], about the appropriate state form of social realities in interwar Romania. Title and chronology were taken from Vulcănescu. The notes, which remained at draft level, are made partly in green ink, partly with pencil. These notes are particularly important to give a better understanding of what Vulcănescu understood by rural Romania. But the mere fact that Vulcănescu seriously considered the idea of a peasant state and sought to give it a proper shape it is sufficiently relevant. Interruptions or unfinished sentences are marked with square brackets and the unclear words with a question mark. (Ionuț Butoi)
O revizitare a orașului interbelic: teme urbane la sociologii gustieni: Revisiting the Interwar City. Urban Themes in Gusti's School of Sociology
No full textThe sociology of Gusti School was largely depicted as a rural sociology, approaching topics related to the social life and cultural traditions of the villages. This characterization is, surely, derived from the “monographic survey of the Romanian villages” project and from the monographic method in itself, designed to be applied primarily in rural areas. In this paper I attempt to highlight some topics that targeted different areas of research, particularly, researches that sought to examine specific urban aspects (such as urban migration, urban services, urban poverty, urban ethnicity, urban institutions etc.), that focused their investigation in cities, mainly Bucharest. The thesis of my paper is not to ‘prove’ that Gusti School approached ‘urban themes’ as well (for that matter, an aspect largely known to those familiar with the history of the School), but to consider these research topics together with some social characteristics of cities in interwar Romania. I refer to a series of articles published in Sociologie Românească between 1937 and 1939, and I attempt to analyze how some Gustian sociologists addressed different urban topics covering the problems of the city and the process of urbanization. The paper intends to find out: (a) what kind of socio-cultural realities and political-economic concerns these topics referred to, (b) how were they presented in this sociology journal and other publications of the interwar period, and subsequently, (c) what did these themes mean for these authors, for the Gusti School project and, generally, for the social-political discourses in that time
Path Dependency, World Systems Analysis, or Alternative Modernity? Research Notes on Interwar Romania and the Bucharest Sociological School
Get PDFThis article assesses the concept of alternative modernity from the perspective of the social modernization and nation-building projects undertaken by the Bucharest Sociological School during the interwar period. The analysis commences with a critique of the theoretical field that hitherto provided the principal explanatory models for understanding interwar Romania, namely the concept of path dependence and world systems theory. It then proceeds to scale down the comparative civilization approach underpinning alternative modernities theory into a more discrete, socially-grounded definition of alternative modernity appropriate to the specific time period and local context. This is accomplished, on the one hand, by means of a critical assessment of recent scholarship pertaining to the alternative modernity of interwar Romania and, on the other hand, by foregrounding the issues of local agency and geopolitical context. I thus argue that the vision of an alternative, quintessentially rural and “Romanian” modernity elaborated by the Bucharest Sociological School was inserted into the social structure by means of a culturally specific program of socio-economic modernization of the rural world. This program was consciously elaborated as a sociologically informed alternative to the dominant, urban forms of modernity prevailing in the West

Get PDFThe paper aims to present instances of political communication during electoral processes carried out with new media tools. The high rate of Internet penetration and the spreading of social networks trigge-red the response on the part of political candidates, interested to reach their publics wherever possible. In addition, the development of e-democracy, e-governance and e-politics naturally produces effects in electoral processes. The 2012 parliamentary elections in Romania have as distinctive features the breakdown of constituencies into smaller units and the uninominal vote instead of the previously employed party lists. These features placed the burden of communication tasks on individual candidates, who had to resort to at least one web based communication channel during the campaign. The article is structured in five sections, as follows: the first section is dedicated to presenting the context and tools of the study. The second section views the digital communication as the new frontier to conquer for political communicators. The third is dedicated to Romanian politicians and their Internet presence. The fourth section, which is the largest, places the 2012 parliamentary elections in Timis County under the microscope and highlights the choices of communication tools preferred by the candidates coming from the two political alliances that dominated the elections, the Social Liberal Union (USL) and the Right Romania Alliance (ARD). Finally, the concluding sections discusses further research to be carried in understanding how digital technologies shape the pillar of political communication in the years to come
Murales Bolognese: Visual Representation of Italian Urban Culture
Get PDFThe city of Bologna (Italy) is mainly known for the rich and well-preserved history, the left-wing political opinions of its inhabitants and for the one of the lowest child birth rates in a European city. These aspects, combined with the fact that the city has the largest university in Europe in terms of number of students, shapes the local urban culture in a particular way. This paper investigates the visual manner in which some inhabitants of Bologna, collectively known as “graffers”, express themselves in an attempt to identify the characteristics of their public voice. Such expression is often in contradiction with the way in which the town officials wish to promote a certain image of Bologna based on historical tradition. The methods of visual sociology are used to analyse the graffiti in terms of locations and content, in an attempt to explain the process of socialisation in a stable and prosperous society
Henri H. Stahl și obștile agricole - pagini puțin cunoscute ale istoriei sociologiei românești: Henri H. Stahl and Communal Farming – Little Known Pages in the History of Romanian Sociology
No full textThe following paper is an attempt to place and understand Henri H. Stahl's vision on Romania's rural development. Stahl's view, to be found in a series of articles written for the Romanian newspaper "Ecoul" in January-March 1944, links him to a multidimensional context. We follow multiple paths - we trace the history of Stahl's own political and sociological views on rural development and of the rise of a particular political view on rural development - the cooperative movement; then, we trace the attempts to change Romania's external policy and to promote a viable solution to the country's rural development problems that are contemporary to Stahl's articles. We thus find that H. H. Stahl's sociological vision of rural development may be understood only as the result of a complex interaction between personal lifecourse, social networks, political ideologies and action and international relations, all within a certain historical course of events
