THE LEGITIMIZING TOOLKIT OF THE ROMANIAN COMMUNIST ANTHEMS. IDEOLOGY AND LINGUISTIC IMAGINARY

Abstract

The Legitimizing Toolkit of the Romanian Communist Anthems. Ideology and Linguistic Imaginary. Anthems are associated with nationhood and are part of its legitimizing toolkit. Their complete interpretation usually goes through the analysis of the linguistic imaginary, namely of the mythemes of the age, of the unconscious representations of the community, identifiable in rhythmical patriotic verses. National myths, recycled in patriotic songs Romanians have created since the 19th century, have been coloured differently, according to the ideology of the era. However, during 1948-1989 a double orientation could be “read” in the three national anthems: the natural insinuation of the community’s unconscious projections on the one hand, and the evidence of ideological charge meant to change Romanians’ representations of national reality on the other. Thus, the anthems Broken Shackles (Zdrobite cătușe), We Glorify Thee, Romania (Te slăvim, Românie), and Three colours (Trei culori) mark different stages in the communist discourse, even if they seemingly reuse the same motifs specific to the imaginary of the time: the country, the flag, the proletariat, the victorious past, the bright future and the “crushed” enemies. REZUMAT. Instrumentarul legitimator al imnurilor comuniste românești. Ideologie și imaginar lingvistic. Imnurile se asociază cu națiunea și fac parte din instrumentarul ei legitimator. Interpretarea completă a acestor creații trece, de obicei, prin analiza imaginarului lingvistic, respectiv a mitemelor epocii, a reprezentărilor inconștiente ale comunității, identificabile în versurile patriotice ritmate. Miturile naționale, reciclate în cântecele patriotice pe care le-au creat românii începând cu secolul al XIX-lea, au fost colorate diferit, în funcție de ideologia epocii. În perioada 1948-1989, în cele trei imnuri naționale, poate fi „citită” însă o dublă orientare: insinuarea firească a proiecțiilor inconștiente ale comunității, pe de o parte, și evidența încărcăturii ideologice, menite să schimbe reprezentările românilor despre realitatea națională, pe de altă parte. Așadar, imnurile Zdrobite cătușe, Te slăvim, Românie și Trei culori marchează etape diferite ale discursului comunist, chiar dacă aparent reiau aceleași motive specifice imaginarului vremii: patria, drapelul, proletariatul, trecutul victorios, viitorul luminos și dușmanii „zdrobiți”. Explorarea imaginarului lingvistic pune în evidență modificările încărcăturii semantice și simbolice, de la un imn la altul.
