Abstract: Maramureş was a space that generated cultural stereotypes, and this characteristic remains current. We propose a critical examination of these cultural stereotypes. We try to identify the phenomena of social and cultural change that qualify this area among of the most mobile and innovative in Romania, even if cultural innovation, out of legislative control and everyday aesthetic education is generating the loss of any traces of local identity of these communities.

Keywords: tradition, neo-tradition, village, post-agrarian village, neo-ruralism, fragmented social relationships.

Cuvinte-cheie: tradiţie, neo-tradiţie, sat ţărănesc, sat post-ţărănesc, neo-ruralitate, relaţii sociale fragmentate, reconstrucţie identitară, mutaţie arhitecturală.

Abstract: By this study we intend to approach the migration phenomenon from a perspective which has been ignored in previous studies: the determinants of Romanian emigrants. decision to return to their native country and the profile of those who intend to return. We were able to study this phenomenon thanks to the social survey on Romanian emigrants in both Spain and Italy conducted by the Agency for Governmental Strategies and Metro Media Transilvania between late 2007 and the beginning of 20082 . We take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the Agency for Governmental Strategies for granting us full access to this data set. There is a set of determinants of one.s decision to return to the country of origin permanently which we highlighted using the logistic regression analysis. The results have indicated that the Romanian emigrants who had declared that they were going to return definitively to Romania in the next two years . approximately 38% . are different from those who wished to stay in the host country in terms of their occupational status, their level of education and the magnitude of relation with relatives or friends living in Romania (we have measured this variable by means of the frequency with which they send money home, the frequency which they visit their family in the native country and the assessment of the importance of family in their life).

Keywords: capsunari; temporary migration; permanent migration; returns migration; remigration; Romanian migration in Italy and Spain; logistic regression analysis.

Cuvinte-cheie: căpșunari, migrație temporară, migrație permanentă, migrație de revenire, remigrație, migrație românească în Italia și Spania, analiză de regresie logistică.

Abstract: To what degree age and residence categories combined count for the state of mind and social discourse of the population in the European Union at the current time? Are there age-residence social worlds, according to Anselm Strauss.s definition from the grounded theory (1993)? If so, what is the relevance of such worlds by sociocultural macroregions of the EU? These are the basic questions of the study. The approach is in line with the idea of .quantitative grounded theory. (Glaser, 2008) and the data to explore and test are from the Eurobarometer survey, the 70th wave from the fall of 2008. The worlds of age-residence categories are analyzed from the point of view of life satisfaction, optimism, institutional trust and propensity to discuss politics. The findings support not only the hypothesis of age-residence conditional matrix but also the idea that the age-residence social worlds are also highly differentiated by sociocultural macroregions of the EU. These macroregions are identified by powerful indicators included into a cluster analysis. The resulted regions (EAST, CENTRAL-EAST, SOUTH, WEST, NORTH) are more relevant for the sociocultural analysis than the pure geographical ones. The age-residence and macroregion factors continue to be significant predictors for social state of mind variables even after controlling, by multiple regression, many other relevant predictors.

Keywords: social worlds, life satisfaction, social types of satisfaction-optimism, institutional trust.

Cuvinte-cheie: lumi sociale, satisfacţie faţă de viaţă, tipuri sociale de satisfacţie-optimism, încredere instituţională, macroregiuni socioculturale ale UE.
