Viaţa intelectuală şi artistică în primul deceniu al regimulu... by Cristian Vasile

Poiché la storiografia è stata il mezzo principale per veicolare messaggi nazionalisti, questo saggio è anche un contributo allo studio del nazionalismo.

Questa storiografia altamente ideologica, ma ancora polimorfa, è inserita nel contesto di professionalizzazione della storia nei secoli XIX e XX in Europa. Il caso di studio considerato è la storiografia prodotta dall’Istituto di Storia del Partito comunista rumeno (Isisp) durante il regime di Ceausescu (1965-1989). Questo lavoro si propone di elaborare un nuovo quadro teorico e una nuova metodologia per identificare la posizione della disciplina della storia sostenuta dai regimi comunisti dell’Europa dell’Est tra produzione scientifica e propaganda. The theory implies also a methodology of analysis which integrates the study of the history-writings, considered in diachronical perspective, together with the collective biographies of Isisp and of its historians. Since history-writing is a myth-breaker but also a (national) myths-maker, the theory considers that the Isisp historians were elaborating an academic, scholarly standard while performing the mandatory metanarrative canon imposed by the communist Party, creating a double-set of coherence, for the party and for their own profession. Since historiography has been the main mean to develop nationalist messages, this paper is also a contribution to the study of nationalism. This highly ideological, but still polymorphic historiography is placed into the context of the 19th and 20th centuries’ professionalization of history in Europe. The case study considered is the historiography produced by the History Institute of the Romanian Communist Party (Isisp) during the Ceausescu regime (1965-1989). This paper aims at elaborating a new theoretical framework and a new methodology in order to identify the location of history discipline endorsed by the East European communist regimes between scholarly production and propaganda.
