Abstract

Abstract This paper discusses the competing processes between Moldovan and Romanian identities for the creation of a national identity in the Republic of Moldova. The issue of a common national identity for the people of the Republic of Moldova has been a problem since the beginning of this state’s independence. Throughout the 25 years of independence, different concepts of a Moldovan nation have competed in public, scientific, and political discourse. As a result of the historical context, the region has a linguistic specificity, which is based on the example of the Romanians, Moldovans, and Russians living in this region. Through archival research, field research, and interviews with Moldovan intellectuals and officials, this study recognizes the need for a national identity in the creation of unity and a sense of nationalism for Moldovan citizens.

摩尔多瓦分裂的民族认同

本文讨论了摩尔多瓦和罗马尼亚身份之间的竞争过程，以创建摩尔多瓦共和国的国家身份。摩尔多瓦共和国人民的共同民族认同问题自该国独立开始以来一直是一个问题。在独立的25年里，摩尔多瓦国家的不同概念在公共、科学和政治话语中相互竞争。由于历史背景的原因，该地区具有语言的特殊性，这是基于生活在该地区的罗马尼亚人，摩尔多瓦人和俄罗斯人的例子。通过档案研究、实地调查和对摩尔多瓦知识分子和官员的采访，本研究认识到，在摩尔多瓦公民建立团结和民族主义意识的过程中，需要国家认同。

期刊介绍： Journal of Nationalism, Memory & Language Politics is a peer-reviewed journal published by De Gruyter on behalf of the Charles University. It is committed to exploring divergent scholarly opinions, research and theories of current international academic experts, and is a forum for discussion and hopes to encourage free-thinking and debate among academics, young researchers and professionals over issues of importance to the politics of identity and memory as well as the political dimensions of language policy in the 20th and 21st centuries. The journal is indexed with and included in Google Scholar, EBSCO, CEEOL and SCOPUS. We encourage research articles that employ qualitative or quantitative methodologies as well as empirical historical analyses regarding, but not limited to, the following issues: -Trends in nationalist development, whether historical or contemporary -Policies regarding national and international institutions of memory as well as investigations into the creation and/or dissemination of cultural memory -The implementation and political repercussions of language policies in various regional and global contexts -The formation, cohesion and perseverance of national or regional identity along with the relationships between minority and majority populations -The role ethnicity plays in nationalism and national identity -How the issue of victimhood contributes to national or regional self-perception -Priority is given to issues pertaining to the 20th and 21st century political developments While our focus is on empirical articles, our scope remains open to exceptional theoretical works (especially if they incorporate empirical research), book reviews and translations.
