- Title
Le Club Carpatique Transylvain (SKV) comme support de l'identité saxonne.
- Authors
ROTH, CATHERINE
- Abstract
Many Transylvanian Saxons believe that one of the most important pillars of their collective identity is the Carpathian Transylvanlan Club, the Siebenbürgischer Karpathenverein also known as the SKV. Created in 1880, this Club promotes not only sport activities but also the exploration of the unknown mountain paths and also writing about it in an year book. This publication has an important part in the building of a national identity and can be seen as a cultural construction, as it helps to transform natural spaces into symbolic ones.
