Introductory Matters -- 2. A Resurgent Church -- 3. A Rampant Church -- 4. Secular Counterpoint -- 5. Undercurrents of Identity Discourse.This book explores the Romanian Orthodox Church's arguments on national identity to legitimize its own place in a post-communist Romania. The work traces the clergy's deployment of the concepts of Christian Orthodoxy and Latin legacy as part of an uncharted constellation of arguments in contemporary intellectual history. A survey of public intellectuals' opinions on national identity complements the Church's views. The investigation attempts to offer an insight into the Church's efforts to re-assert itself, given free rein in a post-dictatorial world of accelerated modernization. After clarifying and surveying the Church's claims on institutional and national identity, the book then also explores the secular ideas on the subject. The subsequent analysis treats this material as "speech acts" (statements doing, not only saying, something) which are occasionally out of sync. Against a background of secularization, the Church's rhetoric articulates a distinct line of thought in the post-89 intellectual landscape. .Modernity, Memory and Identity in South-East Europe,2523-7993RussiaHistoryEurope, EasternHistorySoviet UnionHistoryReligionHistoryIntellectual lifeHistoryRussian, Soviet, and East European HistoryHistory of ReligionIntellectual HistoryRussiaHistory.Europe, EasternHistory.Soviet UnionHistory.ReligionHistory.Intellectual lifeHistory.Russian, Soviet, and East European History.History of Religion.Intellectual History.261.2299709034900Velicu Adrianauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut453648MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910416089203321The Orthodox Church and National Identity in Post-Communist Romania1997627UNINA
