Emigration – a Chance for Cultural Regeneration
Emigration – a Chance for Cultural Regeneration

Summary/Abstract: This material proposes a theoretical perspective on the issue of Romanian emigration as a phenomenon of restoring Romanian societal balance. The central elements of the work, social will and societal balance (Gusti), are used to penetrate the depth of the phenomenon of Romanian emigration and at the same time to open the chance of understanding this phenomenon in its restorative dimension. To fulfill this desire, the elites are obliged to eliminate the anomic state (Durkheim) and for this to be possible, they must give up the complex of failure (Hirschman) to be able to put the entire social organism in order. Renouncing speculative behavior and the deviation of social will from the immediate interests of the nation towards obtaining objectives of particular benefit, which is specific to rebellious factors (Acad. Postolache) will lead to the elimination of the feeling of an abandoned society (Baltasiu, Bulumac). As a result of this paradigm shift, a change will be observed on the two planes of existence, simultaneously: on the social plane, the elites will be actively involved in capitalizing on the identity rent (Acad. Postolache), those intangible assets that offer uniqueness and economic advantages in relation to other nations, and on the ontological plane, the elites will create the space necessary for becoming into being (Noica). All these changes will only take place on the condition that the elites operate all this time with the imperative of the whole (Baltasiu) and only in this way will the phenomenon of disintegration (Băncilă) be reversed.
