Romanian Autism ?1

Romanian Autism ?1 AUGUSTIN IOAN (Bucharest, Romania) ROMANIAN AUTISM ?1 Except for an extended - and largely favorable - review in the Times Literary Supplement, Romanian Modernism - both the book and its eponymous topic - has unfortunately passed so far largely unnoticed by the architectural press, as well as by the scholarly press interested in the arts and society of Central and Eastern Europe. This is not the book's fault, but the symptom of a larger malaise: on the one hand, none of the major modem histories of modem architecture (Curtis, Frampton, Jencks) says a single word about the modem architecture of Central and Eastern Europe, other than to briefly (and rather superficially) criticize Soviet Stalinism as "just another" state totalitarianism (Frampton). Nothing before or af- ter Stalinism, nothing outside/around USSR; on the other hand, after 1989, while there is at hand an increasingly interesting and recent bibliography on the architec- ture and the arts of pr,e-war Central Europe, the countries of Eastern Europe are rarely the target of academic research, while their post-war architecture seems to have never existed.

Abstract

AUGUSTIN IOAN (Bucharest, Romania) ROMANIAN AUTISM ?1 Except for an extended - and largely favorable - review in the Times Literary Supplement, Romanian Modernism - both the book and its eponymous topic - has unfortunately passed so far largely unnoticed by the architectural press, as well as by the scholarly press interested in the arts and society of Central and Eastern Europe. This is not the book's fault, but the symptom of a larger malaise: on the one hand, none of the major modem histories of modem architecture (Curtis, Frampton, Jencks) says a single word about the modem architecture of Central and Eastern Europe, other than to briefly (and rather superficially) criticize Soviet Stalinism as "just another" state totalitarianism (Frampton). Nothing before or af- ter Stalinism, nothing outside/around USSR; on the other hand, after 1989, while there is at hand an increasingly interesting and recent bibliography on the architec- ture and the arts of pr,e-war Central Europe, the countries of Eastern Europe are rarely the target of academic research, while their post-war architecture seems to have never existed. There are at least three reasons for that obvious lack of visibility: 1) it is due to East European researchers
