Les études aroumaines en Roumanie à l’heure européenne : quelques observations

Résumé Fr En Ro

Les initiatives tous azimuts des Aroumains pour la promotion de leur langue et de leur culture après 1990 ont été plutôt bien accueillies au début en Roumanie. Le dépôt de la demande de reconnaissance de la minorité nationale aroumaine en 2005 va cependant provoquer une véritable levée des boucliers. Linguistes, historiens, hommes de lettres, réputés pour leurs travaux sur les Aroumains, souvent d’origine aroumaine, vont réagir vivement à ce tournant « national » de revendications identitaires qui couvaient depuis un moment. Comment interpréter cette réaction ? Quel peut être son impact sur les études aroumaines dans ce pays ?

The wide‑ranging initiatives of the Aromanians to promote their language and culture after 1990 were received generally with sympathy at the beginning in Romania. On the other hand, the situation has changed radically with the application for recognition of the Aromanian national minority in 2005. The emergence of this national aspect of their cultural identity claims that smouldered long time ago, provoked strong public reactions of several linguists, historians and men of letters often of Aromanian extraction and renowned for their studies about Aromanian language and history. How to interpret these reactions? What impact they may have on Aromanian studies?

Numeroasele iniţiative întreprinse de aromâni pentru promovarea limbii şi culturii lor după 1990 au fost mai degrabă bine primite în România. Situaţia s‑a schimbat însă radical odată cu înaintarea cererii de recunoaştere a minorităţii naţionale aromâne în 2005. Noua dimensiune naţională a unor revendicări identitare care mocneau de mult a provocat reacţii dure printre mulţi lingvişti, istorici şi scriitori adesea de origine aromână reputaţi pentru contribuţiile lor despre aromâni. Cum pot fi interpretate aceste reacţii? Ce impact pot avea ele asupra studiilor despre aromâni?
