Etnografie şi orientalism romantic în noile state Italia şi România: Angelo Gubernatis, Dora d'Istria şi savanţii români în a doua jumătaste a secolului XIX

  • Subiect: ETHNOLOGY AND ROMANTIC ORIENTALISM IN THE NEWLY FORMED STATES OF ITALY AND ROMANIA ANGELO DE GUBERNATIS, DORA D'ISTRIA AND THE ROMANIAN SCHOLARS OF THE SECOND HALF OF 19rn CENTURY The present paper discusses the relationship between the newly formed disciplines of Ethnology and Orientalism and their research methodologies during the Romantic period, in the new politically constituted states of Italy and Romania. Our study focuses on two key figures in the Romantic exploration of the Orient: Angelo de Gubernatis (1840-1913), pioneer and organizer of Oriental studies in Italy, and the Romanian princess Elena Ghica (1828-1888), better known under the pen name Dora d'Istria, who, in the last three decades of her life spent in Italy (1860-1888), wrote extensively on Oriental literature and customs. Both of them also dedicated a good part of their time to pursuing ethnological, anthropological, and mythological studies. Dora d'Istria was instrumental in arousing De Gubernatis' interest in the culture of the people inhabiting the Romanian principalities of Moldavia, Walachia, and Transylvania, as well as in the ethnic Romanians from the adjacent province of Bessarabia and the southern Balkan states. She put him in contact with some of the most important Romanian scholars of the time, as well as with Hungarian scholars from Transylvania (such as Count Geza Kuun) and with Greek, Russian, Serbian, Albanian hommes-de-lettres. In his turn, Angelo de Gubernatis played an important role in stimulating Dora d'Istria earlier interest in exploring the East, especially India. He introduced her to some leading Italian and German Orientalists and to the Italian Society for Oriental Studies (founded in 1872).
