THE POLITICAL EXILE OF ROMANIAN SCHOLARS IN ITALY
THE POLITICAL EXILE OF ROMANIAN SCHOLARS IN ITALY

Summary/Abstract: The existentialism of the other Romania, or of the alternative Romania, as the Romanian scholars themselves named it, is shaped around three main markers: the political, the cultural or the spiritual resistance towards the communist regime of the native country. This was an assumed resistance, resulting in the attributes, the purposes, the ideals or the fears of the exile. It also meant the sensible shades of unity existent in the Romanian communities and, of course, the perspectives of identity redefining in the destination country as well as the care for conserving Romanian-ism, especially after the ‘50s, when the prolonging of the exile period became more and more evident.
