Abstract
The "lost world" and the "emerging society": Intellectual conceptions of the Romanian transition out of Communism For readers not familiar with studies by Romanian scholars, most of which are not available in the languages used for international communication, a few themes related to Communism in Romania and the transition out of it are proposed. Focus shifts back and forth between the institutional poles of production and the explanatory categories used to talk about a "lost world" (Communism) and an "emerging society" (post-Communist). By bringing to light what is said and what is left unsaid in the social sciences (in particular history and sociology), this reconstitution of the "native" intellectual perspective on contemporary Romania sheds light both on the way this society is managing its relation to the past and on the place reserved for the past in efforts to activate a sense of identity.
