Problema fundamentală a ştiinţei şi etnomuzeologiei româneştim ăn secolul al XX-lea: Cunoaşterea şi reprezentarea identităţii etno-culturale

  • Subiect: The paper discusses the concept of ethnic and cultural national identity from a historiographical perspective and sets the theoretical framework for the development of the „ASTRA" Museum. Central to this analysis are the ideas that history museums in general reflect the reality of both our presant and past and museums of ethnography in particular narrate the history of civilization as a continuous and dynamic process generating cultural change. The historiographical investigation covers the time span that begins in the seventeenth century with the accounts of the Moldavian chroniclers Grigore Ureche and Miron Costin, the first historians who acknowledged a specific ethnic identity that is embodied in the Romanian language. During the nineteenth century, the stage was set for controversy with the animated debate over the thesis of interrupted inhabitance of the current Romanian territory by the Dacian-Roman population after the Roman military withdrawal. This argument was initiated by Austrian and German historians: Franz Joseph Sulzer, Iosif Carol Eder and Robert Roesler and rejected by contemporary Romanian scholars. ln addition, a new ideologica! development stemmed from the newly crystallized ideal of national independence. Following the unification of all the Romanian provinces at the end of World War I, the efforts of the Romanian intellectual elite focused on uplifting the status of the national cultura to the position of an important European cultura. Their endeavors, which came to an abrupt end during the communist regime would be taken over and refined in the late 1990s by a new generation of scholars concerned with the place the Romanian cultura in the larger context of the European Union.Common to both the historical and modern inquiry on the national identity is the comparative analysis with other European cultures, which helps a more realistic understanding of the Romanian specific. After 1990, „ASTRA" Museum has continuously tuned its museum discourse and mission to the current trends in the discussion on the Romanian national identity.
