ACTIVITY REPORT ON THE GRANT
Sexuality and Political-religious discourse
in Romanian Pre-Modern Society
(2015)
Project PN-II-ID-PCE-2012-4-0079
During 2015 the project team members Sexuality and religious-political discourse in early modern Romanian
society continued to documentation and exploitation of results. In addition
to identifying new documents and related literature covering research topic,
team members have published books and articles in journals and collective
volumes and attended scientific meetings in the country and abroad. Some of
these activities are ongoing and will be completed in the future. For this
stage the team had to fulfill two main objectives: Constituting the exhaustive documentary and
bibliographic support (documentaries in archives and libraries in order to
identify the primary and secondary sources; documentaries in libraries in order
to inventory the main historical contributions; indexing the identified
sources) and a preliminary dissemination of the outcomes (lectures and conferences
on the project theme; publishing documents on the project theme; publishing studies in specialty journals). Both objectives were met, but they still relevant for
future stages.
Especially to
accomplish the second objective the project team members presented the
following work papers:

Our results show the
importance of research topic and its potential, which fact put the Romanian
historical research on an important position. On the history of sexuality
between Romanian historiography and other European historiography there is a
gap, but not so large such other traditional historiographical issues. This
leads us to believe that during the next stages, the results will be important,
especially in terms of relations between sexuality, gender and power, subject
which receive a special attention from researchers in the last time.
