35 ГОДИНА ТЕМИШВАРСКОГ ОДБОРА МАТИЦЕ СРПСКЕ
35 YEARS OF THE TIMIȘOARA COMMITTEE OF MATICA SRPSKA

Summary/Abstract: The Timișoara Committee was established in 1990, at the initiative of a group of enthusiasts during the regular Assembly of Matica Srpska, with the aim of forming a research team dedicated to interdisciplinary studies of the lives of Serbs as a minority in Romania, and Romanians in Serbia. From the outset, it was emphasized that the new Committee was expected to operate across several fields: History, Art History, Ethnology and Ethnomusicology, Literature and Language, Law and Sociology, Cultural Functions, and Publishing Activity. The publication of a special journal titled Timișoara Proceedings was also envisaged. The paper traces the establishment of the Timișoara Committee, changes in its membership, as well as its achievements and shortcomings in comparison with the original founding concept. It also indicates that other associations focusing on the same or very similar topics were subsequently established and operated in parallel with the Timișoara Committee, without coordination. Furthermore, it is observed that, although the Committee accepted papers in both Serbian and Romanian, it did not engage in research on Romanians in Serbia.
