- Title
Civil Society and National Identity in Nineteenth-Century Transylvania.
- Authors
Mitu, Sorin
- Abstract
In this paper, we will attempt to provide an overview of the phenomenon of association in modern Transylvania, to emphasize its origins, and to analyze the functions it fulfilled in relation to the national identity. The association phenomenon is based on communication and the creation of a public space in which individuals share their ideas. The nationalities of Austria-Hungary chose to build their public space separately by creating parallel civil societies that were most often in competition. This tradition is still producing effects in Transylvania.
