PROBLEME ALE CERCETĂRII IMAGINILOR ISTORICE ALE ORAŞELOR ACTUALEI ROMÂNII
PROBLEMS CONCERNING THE RESEARCH OF HISTORICAL IMAGES OF THE TOWNS OF THE NOWADAYS ROMANIA

Summary/Abstract: Over the last five centuries, images were used to illustrate history books and all kind of other papers. In time, these images became independent historical sources, in which the 21st century historians are interested because they begin to (or are suppose to) use them in their documentation. This paper aims to take into account only those images which represent towns, emphasizing on the approach used in their research work. Compared to other European countries, with their traditions in studying the representations of towns – we have to mention the conferences of The International Commission for the History of Towns (Imago Urbis, Bologne, 2001; Image and Perception of Town, Vienna, 2003) – we do not pay great attention to the historic images of towns, this kind of representations being studied superficial. As a result, the Romanian historiography does not have a synthesis of the problem, there are only papers which are approaching partially the subject, thematically, chronologically or geographically.
