History of Modern Cremation in Romania
Cremation, as a means of managing the post-mortem body, was reintroduced to Europe at the end of the eighteenth century, but would not become common practice until the second half of the nineteenth century. This was a major development, with multifaceted implications which generated heated debate. Initially, armed with a variety of arguments (hygienic, economic, aesthetic, and philosophical arguments citing freedom of conscience and will) the advocates of modern cremation – who tended to come from the social and cultural elite – sought to impose their new model.

A Contested Borderland
Bessarabia?mostly occupied by modern-day republic of Moldova?was the only territory representing an object of rivalry and symbolic competition between the Russian Empire and a fully crystallized nation-state: the Kingdom of Romania. This book is an intellectual prehistory of the Bessarabian problem, focusing on the antagonism of the national and imperial visions of this contested periphery. Through a critical reassessment and revision of the traditional historical narratives, the study argues that Bessarabia was claimed not just by two opposing projects of ?symbolic inclusion,? but also by two alternative and theoretically antagonistic models of political legitimacy. By transcending the national lens of Bessarabian / Moldovan history and viewing it in the broader Eurasian comparative context, the book responds to the growing tendency in recent historiography to focus on the peripheries in order to better understand the functioning of national and imperial states in the modern era. ÿ

Mircea Eliade. Anii tulburi: 1932-1938
„Simpatia faţă de Legiune a fost indirectă, prin Nae Ionescu, şi n-a avut nici o influenţă în gândirea şi scrierile mele” (Mircea Eliade, 1978). „Mircea Eliade. Anii tulburi: 1932 – 1938, iată o carte care te îndeamnă s-o citeşti încă de la lectura titlului. […] încearcă să pună punctele pe toate i-urile în ceea ce priveşte relaţiile lui Eliade cu mişcarea legionară. Obiectul de studiu sunt îndeosebi cele 17 articole evident legionare ale viitorului mare istoric al religiilor” (Liviu Antonesei). „Culpa lui Eliade rămâne, însă nu trebuie să pierdem din vedere istovitoarea muncă pe care a realizat-o până la sfârşitul vieţii sale şi nici faptul că o întreagă şcoală de istorie a religiilor se revendică pornind de la cercetările lui” Mihaela Gligor
