Viorella Manolache, „Historia“ ca naraţiune: O ροymanikσ koσmoσ το 1900
A NARRATIVE “HISTORIA”:
O ΡΟYMANIKΣ KOΣMOΣ ΤΟ 1900
Having as a start point the translation in Greek of the book Lumea românească la 1900, the present study recovers Ion Bulei’s perspective that of a regenerative Historia, seen as an “original phenomenon” of „private histories” / “moments of history.” The constant preoccupation of the historian Ion Bulei remains the historical imagine/ representation, the process of untying pages of manuscript in order to (re)sewing them into a (attractive or fearful) dynamic transition context from one century to another: January 1, 1900. The first day of a new year. But also …. the first day of the twentieth century.
Producing itself, Historia articulates its own discourse, or in Ion Bulei’s terms, regenerates, harmonizing Geschichte (a concurrence of events) with Historia (knowledge, historical narration), in order to equilibrate the evidence novelty-modernity-new time.
