The Fascist Temptation: Students and Young Intellectuals in Interwar Romania

我的论文提案涉及一群年轻的罗马尼亚知识分子，通常被称为“1927一代”，他们在20世纪30年代成为法西斯分子。在我本科和目前的哲学硕士研究的基础上，我打算使用档案材料，如报纸、私人信件和日记，来构建这一代知识分子的生动形象，并解释其激进化。我的研究将调查这个群体的凝聚力和动态，特别关注他们的个人关系，以及塑造他们互动的物理和文化空间（例如标准，一个学生经营的文化和政治辩论协会；许多这些年轻知识分子工作的报纸办公室；以及布加勒斯特的文学咖啡馆世界）。此外，我将通过分析这一代人所属的学术环境（即布加勒斯特大学的人文学院），将这一群体定位于两次世界大战期间罗马尼亚学生政治激进主义的更广阔背景中。特别令人感兴趣的是奈埃•约内斯库和尼奇弗•克雷尼奇等魅力十足的教授在其学生的“犀牛化”过程中所扮演的角色。

My dissertation proposal concerns a group of young Romanian intellectuals, usually referred to as the "1927Generation", who became fascists during the 1930's. Building upon my undergraduate and current MPhil work on thistopic, I intend to use archival materials such as newspapers, personal correspondences and diaries to construct a vividportrait of this intellectual generation and to explain its radicalization. My research will investigate the cohesiveness andthe dynamics of the group, with particular attention given to their personal relationships, as well as to the physical andcultural spaces that shaped their interactions (e.g. the Criterion, a student-run association for cultural and politicaldebates; the offices of newspapers such as Vremea where many of these young intellectuals worked; and Bucharest'sliterary café world). Moreover, I will locate the group within the broader landscape of student political radicalism ininterwar Romania by analysing the academic milieu to which this generation belonged, i.e. the humanities faculties at theUniversity of Bucharest. Of particular interest is the role played by charismatic professors such as Nae Ionescu andNichifor Crainic in the "rhinocerization" of their students.
