POLITICAL MYSTICISM AND THE LEGIONARY MOVEMENT IN INTERWAR ROMANIA. A COGNITIVE APPROACH

Abstract

Political Mysticism and the Legionary Movement in Interwar Romania. A Cognitive Approach. The purpose of this article is to explore the public discourse of the Iron Guard, the often called “exotic” Romanian fascist movement. I will focus especially on the messianic figure of Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, the charismatic leader of the movement, and the long lasting fascination he has exerted in the Romanian public space for more than a century now. The approach taken here is based on Gilles Fauconnier’s and Mark Turner’s conceptual integration theory and it is an attempt to show how by blending various mental spaces, from religious elements to medieval historical characters and events, the movement managed to create a unique mix that seemed to set it apart from other European fascist movements. Its members were extremely young and, by all accounts, genuinely religious, even practicing a type of political „mysticism” that was rather uncommon elsewhere. Misticism politic și mișcarea legionară în România interbelică. O abordare cognitivă. Articolul de față propune o incursiune în discursul public al Legiunii Arhanghelului Mihail, „exotica” mișcare fascistă românească din perioada interbelică. Ne vom concentra mai ales pe figura mesianică a lui Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, liderul carismatic al mișcării și pe fascinația pe care a exercitat-o și continuă s-o exercite în spațiul public românesc. Abordarea pe care o propunem pornește de la teoria integrării conceptuale a lui Gilles Fauconnier și a lui Mark Turner și reprezintă o încercare de a demonstra cum, prin amalgamarea mai multor spații mentale – de la elemente religioase la personaje și evenimente istorice –, mișcarea a reușit să creeze un univers unic, care-o separă de celelalte mișcări fasciste din epocă. Membrii Legiunii Arhanghelului Mihail erau, în general, extrem de tineri și, după toate aparențele, autentic religioși, practicând un fel de misticism politic greu de găsit în altă parte.
