Transylvanianism and Interculturality in Review Discourse (Early 20th Century) – Contributions

Transylvanianism, interculturality and cultural dialogue have been some of the recurrent topics of multilingual cultural reviews in Transylvania at the beginning of the 20th century, as reflections on the formation of consciousness of the self, diversity and difference. The paper proposes to offer certain perspectives on the self-discourse of multicultural Transylvanian society by the analysis of the vocabulary of interculturality and Transylvanianism in the reviews Cultura (Culture, Cluj, 1924), Aurora (Aurora, Oradea, 1922–1923), Culisele – A kulissza (Backstage, 1923), Banatul (The Banat, Timişoara, 1926), and Klingsor (Braşov, 1924–1939).
