[calin morar]

Hello, my name is Calin Morar-Vulcu, I am a doctoral student in Contemporary History at the "Babes-Bolyai" University, Cluj, Romania. My primary interest area is the discursive construction of the political community in the official discourse of a totalitarian regime.What attracted me to this area was the "opacity" of the official discourse during the communist regime in Romania and the fact that many people in historical circles (and not only) looks at the totalitarian regime's discourse from the point of view of its truth conditions (regarding it as false and, therefore, not suited to further investigation). 
More precisely, I try to look at the way the social (and, therefore, political) identities were constructed: working class, women, youth, peasantry etc. and how were they given a place on the social "map" of the regime. another part of the study would be the way that ordinary people used and still use these constructs.
Best,
Calin Morar
