  8. 2.0 IMAGINED COMMUNITIES • The new media centred on the use of technology in a creative manner has the power to aggregate ordinary people into communities and to (re)shape identities. • The new media’s researchers talk about the architecture of participation with a direct impact over the social networks and with an aggregation effect of users in virtual communities the collective intelligence as the amount of individual contributions of the users, self-organizationof masses of ordinary people on the Internet. These crowdsemerge, define the collective problem or task by themselves, solve it, and vanish as entities (Hintikka, K.A., 2008, abstract)

  9. (RE)CREATING THE PAST. THE CASE OF THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA WIKIPEDIA PAGE The present (re)creates the past. The historical fact is any detail from the past that is used by the historian to demonstrate his one idea about what has happened in the past. Djuvara,N.2011 www.Wikipedia.org last acces 25.03.2014

  10. (RE)CREATING THE PAST.

  13. (RE)CREATING THE PAST. THE CASE OF THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA WIKIPEDIA PAGE Highlights the historical complexity of this area. On April 9 [O.S. March 27] 1918, the Sfatul Ţării decided with 86 votes for, 3 against and 36 abstaining, to unite with the Kingdom of Romania. The union was conditional upon fulfillment of the agrarian reform, autonomy, and respect for universal human rights. A part of the interim Parliament agreed to drop these conditions after Bukovina and Transylvania also joined the Kingdom of Romania, although historians note that they lacked the quorum to do so.

  15. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: DISCOURSE ANALYSIS • The role of discourse in the construction of the world • The purpose of the research is to get behind the discourse, to find what people really mean • Laclau&Mouffes’s discourse theory: • The subject is fundamentally split it never quite becomes itself • It acquires its identity by being represented discursively • Identity is thus identification with a subject position in a discursive structure • Identity is discursively constituted through chains of equivalence where signs are sorted and linked together in chains in opposition to other chains • Identity is always relationally organised • Identity is changeable just as discourses are • , • apud Jorgensen M., Phillips, L., 2002, p.43

  16. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: SAMPLING STRATEGY • Also called chain referral reputational or respondent-driven sampling • It is a multistage technique. It begins with one or a few blogs and spreads out based on links to the initial cases.

  17. THE ROMANIAN IDENTITY • Same history • Same mythology • Same language http://sorin-becciu.blogspot.ro/

  18. THE PAN-RUSSIAN (IDENTITY) DISCOURSE Less structured in 2.0 Moldavian blogosphere Main issues: 9th of May Russian language status The cultural threat

  19. THE MOLDAVIAN IDENTITY • Usage of Russian&English languages • Usage of Moldavian language Rural roots …

  20. THE MOLDAVIAN IDENTITY • Romanian versus Moldavian • Slavic influences • Archaisms or regionalisms English and/or Russian USING LANGUAGE (S) TO SHAPE IDENTITY THE REJECTION OF ROMANIANHOOD THE BIG WORLD-LITTLE COUNTRY SYNDORME

  21. THE MOLDAVIAN IDENTITY USING LANGUAGE (S) TO SHAPE IDENTITY THE REJECTION OF ROMANIANHOOD THE BIG WORLD-LITTLE COUNTRY SYNDORME New Founding Acts are evoked New histories are written New alliances are discovered New symbols are used

  22. THE MOLDAVIAN IDENTITY USING LANGUAGE (S) TO SHAPE IDENTITY THE REJECTION OF ROMANIANHOOD THE BIG WORLD-LITTLE COUNTRY SYNDORME The European Union do not needs a prosperous Moldova, but a depopulated Moldova with a puppet regime, to serve as a transit area and porter at the gates of Eastern European Union in return for all kinds of illegal operations http://octavianracu.wordpress.com

  23. THE LEGIONAR DRIFT A well know legionary lyric; call to arms The legionary chromatics&simbols (the firs, the celtyc cross)

  24. THE MOLDAVIAN ORTODOX IDENTITY The Moldavian orthodoxy versus the Others (Russians, Romanians, Europeans) atheism The refuge against modernity

  25. PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS • The 2.0 Moldavian identity/identities issue mainly have two dimensions: a past-oriented one (historical perspective), linking to interpretation of past events that influence the country’s specifics, and a future-oriented one, representing the different perspectives of Moldavian citizens vis-a-vis the country's future.
