More than Just Literature: Some Aspects of Identity Construction in the Light of Hungarian-Romanian Relationship in Transylvania

Summary/Abstract: From the perspective of cultural studies, Transylvania as a region, appears in different narratives as a constellation of symbolic geography and collective identities where culture and history shape each other and the representatives of different ethnic groups bound by their “imagined communities” and “invented traditions” are also rooted - at a deeper level in more “primordial” patterns of identities, myths beliefs, cultural fantasies.One of the key questions that the current paper raises is that to what extend can artists and different works of art belonging to the Hungarian literature or fine arts in Transylvania successfully meet all those challenges that faces them while in one hand they are expected to assume the role of being the key promoters of nation building and at the same time to correspond to those expectations of complex systems of values which are universally valid irrespective of geographical location or national belonging.
