Summary/Abstract: It may not be too obvious, but - beside what we explicitly formulated in the conference’s call for proposals - we thought that the theme Modes of Appropriation and Social Resistance, and the related subjects, would at the same time address, on a slant, the particular state of affair of anthropology in Romania. I would spare a lot of our time if, instead of trying to sketch the history of what happened with anthropology in Romania after 1990, I would try to find a shortcut, which may be in this case a question. Therefore, I would rhetorically ask how many of us wrote at least one piece of text that contains - maybe even in the title - the word “post-socialism” or the term “transition”? Or possibly both. I guess many of us.
