Between Historiography and Politics. The reception of Avram Iancu after 1989

  • TITLU în română: Între istoriografie şi politică. Primirea lui Avram Iancu după 1989
  • Subiect: 1989, the year when the communist regime collapsed in Romania, saw the anniversary of 165 years since the birth and, respectively, the commemoration of 117 years since the demise of Avram Iancu, Prefect of the Auraria Gemina Legion and a central figure in the 1848 Revolution from Transylvania. At the watershed moment marked by the Romanian Revolution of 1989, the reception of this personality in the Romanian historiography and consciousness was based, therefore, on utterly respectable grounds, which entailed, for the scientific research establishment, at least, the disappearance of the ideological conditionings imposed by the former regime. Since then, the historiographic research directions that were consolidated for decades have continued among the Romanian historians, in particular those from Cluj, who have attempted to reconstitute the sources of the 1848 Revolution and to conduct analytical and interpretive approaches on the most diverse aspects pertaining to the two years, 1848 and 1849, including the causes and the immediate or lasting consequences of the revolutionary events. While the revolution as a whole has essentially remained in the sphere of scholarly concerns, featuring in the research programs of the history faculties and specialised institutes, its personalities have been, over the past two decades, the subject of jubilary and commemorative actions with a far broader impact and social reverberation.
