The Truth Value of Rumors. Rumors in Romania at the End of the Second World War
Aurelian Stoica
Abstract (Rezumat în limba engleză): The article examines the specific and the typology of rumors during the war, as well as the implications of this phenomenon for the interests of society. The approach represents an analysis of the rumors that have been transmitted in certain communities in Bucharest, in November 1943, and it has the structure of a case study. The hypothesis of this paper is that we could speak about the inner „truth value” of rumor, in times of war, which provides the propelling force of rumors.
