Exceptionalism of housing in the ideology and politics of early communist Romania (1945–1965) / Serban, Mihaela   Article
Serban, Mihaela Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The article analyses the exceptionalism of housing during the early communist period in Romania, in particular the extent to which the regime’s ambivalent policies regarding housing undermined the overall political and ideological goal of dismantling private property. Focusing on appropriations, restitutions and new construction in the city of Timis¸oara and the surrounding region, the article emphasises conflicting and inconsistent policies regarding housing and the consequences of these policies. Housing’s double meaning as home and asset further complicated the overall ideological mission of denaturalising bourgeois private property, and provided a basis for the continuing relevance of pre-communist legal ideologies and consciousness of property rights during this period. The article is based on documentary and archival research conducted in the city of Timis¸oara, Romania, in 2007–2008.
