Ovidiu Buruiană – författare

This book examines patterns of national integration and the mobilisation of the peasantry across two historical regions, Central and Eastern Europe, over a long historical timeframe, spanning from the 1848 Revolution to the outbreak of the Second World War. It discusses how national elites in these regions interacted with the peasantry during the process of building modern nation-states and democratic political systems, and how political integration occurred by transforming peasants from subjects of various public actors into active citizens. The authors focus on the mechanisms employed by nation-states to achieve the socio-political integration of the peasantry, including land redistribution, universal suffrage, state-sponsored education, taxation, and military conscription, and on diverse channels of communicating the state’s agenda of modernisation, such as the church, the press, political parties, and other types of intermediaries. This book promotes interdisciplinary and comparative approaches to the question of the social and political integration of peasants within the various societies of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the emerging nation-states of Central and Eastern Europe.

In elf Beiträgen behandelt dieser Sammelband die diskursive Darstellung Deutschlands und der Deutschen im Rumänien der Zwischenkriegszeit. Der Fokus liegt dabei nicht nur auf den Deutschland- und Deutschenbildern der ethnischen Rumänen, sondern auch auf jenen der deutschsprachigen Bukowiner Juden und der Luxemburger sowie auf den Fremd- und Eigenbildern der Rumäniendeutschen. Ein zwölfter Beitrag beschäftigt sich als Exkurs mit der Rezeption der rumänischen Literatur in der deutschsprachigen Bukowiner Presse. Die Aufsätze von Autoren und Autorinnen aus unterschiedlichen Fachgebieten und Regionen vereinen historische und literarische sowie rumänische und westeuropäische Perspektiven.
