Cântecul Gintei Latine: Vasile Alecsandri, ‘race’ connections and the Latinity of the Romanians (1850s–1870s)

“…The first centres on the idea of Latinity and the emergence of macro-nationalisms in Europe (in this specific case, pan-Latinism), within which Vasile Alecsandri's cultural and political activity has to be framed. Pan-Latinism was strictly correlated not only with the exacerbation of nationalism and imperial rivalries in the second half of the 19th century (Giladi, 2020;Poupault, 2017), but also with the development of Romance (or neo-Latin) studies, and the issue of how racialism developed within the 19th-century humanities. More generally speaking, European macro-nationalisms-for example, pan-Slavism, pan-Germanism, pan-Latinism, pan-Scandinavism and pan-Celticism-can be counted among the consequences 'of ideas ultimately derived from linguistics' (Hutton, 1998: 4;Leerssen, 2006a: 154), namely, of the introduction of comparatism in language studies.…”
