After nearly a hundred years of isolationist foreign policy based on the Monroe Doctrine, America entered World War I, and at the Paris Peace Conference, Woodrow Wilson was the first American president to cross the ocean in an official capacity. But he was coming to Paris not only in the name of America, but with an agenda concerning the entire globe, determined to fundamentally change the foundations of international relations (Charles Zorgbibe). From the politics rooted in the balance of power, which he saw as the main source of conflict, he would make the transition to the world of international institutions, epitomized by the League of Nations and enshrined in principles that were described as visionary by the president’s supporters, and lambasted as utopian by his detractors. What is certain is that Wilson played a decisive role in redefining the borders of Central Europe, in accordance with the Inquiry recommendations and the principle of self-determination (Larry Wolff). Afterwards, the idea that the rule of law should prevail over the use of force led to a series of debates centered on the Wilsonian vision in which the small countries enjoyed equal rights with the big ones, and the majority was envisioned to protect the minority, rather than destroy it. At the same time, the failures associated with these principles are also part of the discussion on Wilsonism since xenophobic nationalism, ethnicism and opposition to being citizens of a world rooted in universal peace would come to characterize the 20th century and especially the interwar period. In Romania, the union of the three regions – Bessarabia, Bucovina and Transylvania – would also be based on the principle of self-determination. Notably, the same concept also applied to the issue of protecting minorities and different ways of organizing the state: while officials in the Old Kingdom preferred the centralist model, some leaders in the new provinces were in favor of a regionalist or even autonomous form of organization.
Wilsonism and Americanism are concepts whose application deserves special attention also when taking into account the humanitarian aid sent across the ocean to post-war Romania. In this sense, we identify two research directions: an ideological dimension and an imagological one. Where the studies written by Ion Stanciu and Anca Crețu present the activity of various American organizations in Romania during this period and detail their impact on Romanian society, our analysis focuses on the message promoted by the American Junior Red Cross, which at that time, was a newly established organization dedicated to young Americans. Here, the messages published in the "Junior Red Cross News" magazine, on behalf of American children play a special role, since they conveyed the idea that post-war Americanism aimed to create a better world with the help of the youth. We will present how the Romanian representatives took up this challenge to reciprocate by examining the content of the sister publication from Romania: "Revista Crucii Roșii a Tinerimii". Our analysis will also include the letters that American schoolchildren and other young people sent to Queen Maria and Princess Ileana. Last but not least, our study will also follow how the American nurses regarded Romania in those years. The documentation will be based on primary sources from the National Archives Records Administration, the National Archives of Romania, the Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from Bucharest, the Romanian Red Cross Archive, as well as letters, memos and diaries of those involved. In terms of secondary sources, we will also consult the literature on the history of the Red Cross during the interwar period.

Abstract: In her study "Crossing the Borders of Cultures: the First Wave of American War Correspondents in Romania. The Transylvanian Case", Carmen Andraş focuses on American war correspondents’ representations about Romania between 1916 and the early 1930s. Methodologically, the author deploys the respective analysis in the framework of travel studies and imagology. Carmen Andraş identifies two waves of 20th century American correspondents who travelled to Romania. The respective paper concentrates on the first wave, beginning with World War I, when most of the American reporters were coming from Russia and continuing until the early 1930s, when the installation of dictatorship and political right wing extremism was now obvious in Romania. In the author’s opinion, the second wave of American correspondents coming to Romania, started in the late 1930s and early 1940s and was much more representative, both in quantity and quality. Generally, the American interests in Romania in the circumstances of world wars were military and diplomatic, economic, and political. Generally, the American war correspondents paved the way for a better knowledge and understanding of Romania in the USA.

Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the methodological and discursive transition in Aurel Voina’s theoretical conceptualisation of cosmetic science. The primary focus is the rewriting of personal and professional identity, assessing how Aurel Voina negotiated his conceptual and practical expertise from his role as eugenics ideologue and policy maker in the interwar era, to a much more marginal position as medical professional in Communist Romania. The aim is to identify common elements and identify how deep did the historical manipulation protrude. This paper thus offers a closer view of political changes determining calibrations in physical and conceptual self-representation, considering concepts of fluid identity and manipulation of memory.

LOCATION, DISLOCATION AND RE-LOCATION: INTERCULTURAL AND INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION ACROSS POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC BORDERS
Carmen Andraș, Scientific Researcher, PhD., “Gheorghe Șincai” Institute for Social Sciences and the Humanities, Târgu Mureș

Abstract: The paper focuses on significant interpretations of the border concept in the interdisciplinary framework of border, travel and cultural studies, with reference to a particular case of a Transylvanian’s migration to the United States in the first decades of the 20th century. The theoretical foundation of the paper lies in the definition of: porosity as a main characteristic of border (Emmanuel Brunet-Jailly, Bruno Dupeyron, “Borders, Borderlands, and Porosity”, 2007); Zygmunt Bauman’s concept of “fluid modernity” adapted to border analysis to scrutinize their shift of significance from “solid” markers of difference to “fluid” symbols of unity and communication (Zygmunt Bauman, Liquid Modernity, 2006). In connection to the concept of border, I will further define the concepts of location, dis-location and re-location in the specific situation of the travel and migration across international borders, which reflect a characteristic of modernity: the individual’s freedom of mobility beyond political borders initially meant to separate people and nations. I will apply the above mentioned concepts and methodologies to outline the stages of political, economic, cultural and identity border crossing in Ioan Blendea’s case (Din Ardeal in America. 35 de ani in Statele Unite/From Transylvania to America. 35 Years in the United States, published at Sibiu in 1945). He is a representative of a noteworthy phenomenon in Transylvania’s cultural, social and economic history: the migration of a large part of the rural population to the United States at the crossing of the 19- 20th centuries. The principal reason for this voluntary dis-placement (dis-location) was economic: it was the American mirage of prosperity in an era of industrial development and establishment of the bourgeois ideals of wealth, which attracted the Transylvanian villagers. Their place of birth was an almost pre-modern society, still suffocated between the borders of a dying empire. Temporally, Transylvania symbolized the past; spatially, it represented the place of birth, family and traditions. America was instead the place of future emancipation and fortune. However well adapted to a new American identity pattern, their dream was to come back to their original place and bring along their fortune for the benefit of their families. It was thus the story of an original location, followed by a process of dis-location and a final re-location, all due to the “fluidity” of a promising modernity.

  • Keywords: art collectors; the interwar period; Romanian artist; Brâncuși; US;
  • Summary/Abstract: The 20th century has often been defined as the era of great changes, of interconnections, of the circulation of ideas, which constantly undergo changes under the pressure of the context, all of which inevitably marked and influenced the artistic concepts of the time. Any artistic creation is due to the impact of the antagonistic exposure that the artist makes between the creative impulse and the reality that is often foreign to art. Almost every time when we talk about art, this cannot be sustained, valued without those who consume the art. When the artist’s work resonates with the image of feelings, the connection between the artwork and the art collector is inevitable, but each work is experienced by the individual in his own way. Throughout history, art collectors have been either important names of the aristocracy or people financially very powerful, they marked the history of art in one way or another, even reaching in time to acquire the skills of a specialized connoisseur. Considered the cultural center of the arts in the interwar period, Paris represented an ideal meeting point between Romanian artists and art consumers from the USA. Names such as Edward Steichen, the lawyer John Quinn, Alfred Stieglitz, Walter Pach or Peggy Guggenheim were previously attracted by the art of Brâncuși, Victor Brauner or Hedda Sterne.
