Keywords: Anarchism in Romania; anarchist studies; history; culture; literature;

Summary/Abstract: The researches inspired by the anarchist history, thought and practices have been quite rare in Romania, even though anarchism seems to have attracted a growing scholarly interest since the nineties. Moreover, the studies dedicated to the history of Romanian anarchism remain mostly marginal and unknown. Besides a general overview of the peculiarities related to the reception of anarchism in Romania, the article intends to give, first and foremost, a detailed account of all the writings that have directly approached the subject over time. The main purpose of the present study is, thus, a documentary one. Being a part of a broader research aimed at exploring the local anarchist expressions and history, the article also tries to discuss the need for a more comprehensive approach regarding the history of Romanian anarchism, one that would also take into consideration anarchism’s emergence and impact as a cultural phenomenon.
