The Romanian Village in Speciality Literature

Summary/Abstract: The Romanian Village in Speciality Literature contours the image of the village as featured in creative writings, Romanian Academy membership acceptance speeches, the research made by the Bucharest Sociological School, as well as in various other scholarly works. It addresses village aspects mirrored by Dimitrie Gusti, Liviu Rebreanu, Romulus Vuia, Simion Mehedinți, Lucian Blaga, Henri H. Stahl, Ernest Bernea, Traian Herseni, Constantin Noica, etc. The study also deals with the major research and studies made on the rural world, which have theoretically and methodologically inspired the organizing the open-air ethnographic museums in Romania. An important issue is the typology of rural settlements, in view of the geographic diversity of Romania and the historic conditions under which villages emerged and got organized. Another aspect being discussed is the necessity of a comprehensive, unitary system of dealing with the typology of villages, flexible enough to apply to all villages and permanently update the information on the transformations affecting these human settlements.
