Între "orientalism" şi obiectivitate: etnografia rusă şi Basarabia în a doua jumătate a secolului XIX

A special emphasis will be laid upon the particular features of the appearance and evolution of ethnographic preoccupations in the Russian Empire starting with the second half of the 18 th century, when the first attempts at the synthesis and classification of ethnographic enquiries can be discerned, and spanning the first half of the 19 th century. In this context, the case of Bessarabia represents an illustrative example of the uneasy interaction between the specialized and supposedly "objective" knowledge of learned experts and the agendas of the central and local authorities and officials. My basic goal has been to uncover the relationship between the "imp...

Public Education in Romania and Moldova, 19-20th Centuries: Modernization, Political Mobilization, and Nation-Building. An Introduction

Since the second half of the 19th century, Romania has asserted itself, along with other European... more Since the second half of the 19th century, Romania has asserted itself, along with other European states, as a “modern mobilizational state”1 which aimed to profoundly transform its population and the mass of its citizens through extensive mobilizing and social engineering projects. Public education has played a central role in this ambitious process of social transformation, being an essential tool of state formation and nation-building2. Shortly after the emergence of the modern Romanian state (1859/61), mass public education was decreed to be universal and compulsory (1865). A modern generalized, secular and centralized primary education system, with a standardized school curriculum and an “army” of professional teachers, was to replace, in a relatively short period, the rudimentary and incomplete, almost non-existent, educational model of the “ancien régime,” despite some notable attempts to create a stable institutionalized education during previous decades. Modern education wa...

1878, Before and After: Romanian Nation-Building, Russian Imperial Policies, and Visions of Otherness in Southern Bessarabia

Euxeinos, 2014

The reintegration of three Southern Bessarabian districts into the Russian Empire in 1878 represe... more The reintegration of three Southern Bessarabian districts into the Russian Empire in 1878 represented not only a high point of the Russian-Romanian symbolic competition for Bessarabia, but also the creation of an 'administrative aberration' within the Russian Empire. The former Romanian territories, merged into the new Ismail uezd, preserved their institutional and legal peculiarities for almost 40 years. Thus, the modern structures of an emerging nation-state were transferred into the Russian imperial context. This article will discuss, first, the attitude of a number of Russian observers and officials towards the 1856 – 1878 Romanian administration, with a special emphasis on mutual perceptions and the foreign policy dimension. Second, the article will examine the polemics concerning the alternative strategies for integrating this region within the empire. The Russian bureaucracy was divided on the issue, oscillating between a centralizing approach and a more pragmatic att...

This mechanism is the horizontal expansion of the oil slick with inertia-gravity, gravity-viscosity, and viscous-surface tension. In the prediction of spreading, the surface of the slick can be considered as an ellipse where the major axis is in the direction of the wind. Ocean wave models, which account for the interaction between wind and waves, can be used to predict the state of the sea including wind direction in two dimensions where the wave spectrum is allowed to evolve freely with no constraints on the spectral shape. However, the wave model simulation for long duration is time-consuming. In this study, the technique of deep learning, a part of the machine learning method, is implemented to obtain a model used to get quick prediction of the wind direction. The technique uses outputs from an ocean wave model and applies the multivariate time series to obtain a linear relationship among multiple time series of wind prediction from the wave model. The wind forecast is taken as inputs to the deep learning model. Some of these inputs that are significant are selected by using the sigmoid function which is an activation function. The minimum error of prediction from the deep learning model is obtained by the gradient descent method. The numerical results of the prediction spreading of oil spill in the Gulf of Thailand based on the wind prediction by the deep learning technique are presented.

Discourses of Empire and Nation in Early Twentieth-Century Bessarabia: Russian–Romanian Symbolic Competition and the 1912 Anniversary

Ab Imperio, 2015

The authors argue that this event marked a defining moment in the consolidation of Bessarabia’s status as a contested borderland and had a powerful influence on the mutual Russian and Romanian claims to the province’s “symbolic inclusion.” On the one hand, it represented the high point of the attempts of the imperial authorities and the Russian public sphere to construct a coherent image of the province and to forge a representation of Bessarabia as an organic part of the imperial polity. On the other hand, it stimulated a “symbolic competition” between the Russian and Romanian visions of Bessarabia and its population, adding further complexity to Russian–Romanian relations both in the political and symbolic spheres. The Bessarabian case is a...

Al Doilea Război Mondial: memorie și istorie în Estul și Vestul Europei (coeditat cu Diana Dumitru, Andrei Cuşco şi Igor Caşu).

continuă să formeze obiectul unor neîncetate și virulente conflicte
ale memoriei, care reflectă clivajele contemporane din societatea
moldoveană, dar și din întreaga regiune a Europei de Est. Volumul
de faţă a căutat să îmbine perspectiva locală asupra proceselor legate
de practicile politice represive și violente ale regimurilor concurente,
care își disputau teritoriul basarabean din punct de vedere militar,
politic și identitar, cu o largă analiză comparată a diverselor strategii
de (co)memorare a războiului elaborate după 1945 atât în Occident,
cât și în spaţiul (post)sovietic. Un scop implicit al volumului a vizat și
abordarea specificităţii regionale a multiplelor versiuni ale memoriei
războiului structurate de experienţele diferite ale celor două părţi ale
continentului în timpul și după a doua conflagraţie mondială. (Andrei Cuşco)
