“…Romanians used the term haiduc to cover a variety of characters, primarily freebooting soldiers, rebellious shepherds and thieves (see Leerssen et al, 2010: 413). The transition from oral to written folklore transformed some of the characters' (originally negative) traits: it downplayed the robber in the haiduk and turned him into a national hero, a Robin Hood-like character (Leerssen et al, 2010). In Aferim!…”

In contrast to the internationally celebrated New Romanian Cinema, Aferim! (Radu Jude, 2015), set in the distant past, invokes the historical filmmaking tradition as represented by Sergiu Nicolaescu’s historical epics, including references to the literary adaptations of the socialist era La moara cu Noroc / The Mill of Good Luck (Victor Iliu, 1957) and Moromeții / The Moromete Family (Stere Gulea, 1987). The article identifies notions of Romanian identity in relation to changing ideas of nationalism to show how Aferim! uses representations of violence as a means of illuminating and interrogating romantic-heroic visions of the history of the nation and encouraging national self-knowledge.

Adventures in Early Socialist Television Edutainment

This article examines a quintessential genre of early socialist television entertainment: the historical adventure series. It draws on two popular series, the Polish Janosik (1974) and the Hungarian Captain of the Tenkes (1964) to foreground two formative tensions within early socialist television: that between the state's paternalistic, top-down imperative to educate a supposedly docile and homogeneous national audience and television's position as a homebased medium of family entertainment on the one hand, and between the national and crossnational dimensions in the development, distribution, and reception of these programs on the other. The author argues that the shows conjure up a historical regional culture arching over the singular national histories. This cross-border relevance, evident in the programs' striking aesthetic similarities, their international distribution, and their international cast of actors, points to television as a crucial research area for revising scholarship on East European nationalisms and national identities.

Histoire croisée-entangled history as the foundation for research about primitive rebels: the case of Jan de Lichte van Louis Paul Boon (Flanders) and Juraj Jánošík by Andrej Melicherčík (Slovakia) In this contribution we focus on the study of so-called social bandits, as they are known from the study Primitive Rebels by Eric Hobsbawm (1959). We focus more specifically on the Flemish case of Jan de Lichte and the Slovak case of Juraj Jánošík. In this contribution we use the histoire croisée method, suggested by the French-German historians Werner and Zimmermann (2006). They claim that in this "crossed history", social, cultural and political groups are under intercultural influence and offer an alternative to the dominant national point of view. We perceive the hero-image around both heroic figures from the 1950s and 1960s in a distinct Marxist tradition and notice a different image in the Flemish literary adaptation, which remained to a large extent a regional phenomenon.
