The Ingenious Non-Typical Protagonist in the Transylvanian Rural World. Case Study: Ştefan Rus from Marna Nouă

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to present a typology of the peasant, including the ingenious non-typical protagonist of a traditional community. The present study will focus on the case of Ştefan Rus from Marna Nouă village, as it aims to exemplify the characteristics of such an ingenious protagonist. Such typology has not yet received enough attention in ethnological and anthropological studies. One must point clearly that the studied person is the result of the meeting between traditional structures and modernity. This type of protagonist is the one who stands out from the crowd of the rural world and takes a step forward. He embodies his world’s contact with worlds otherthan the one enclosed within the boundaries of his home village.
