Historicising the Normative Boundaries of Diversity: The Minority Treaties of 1919 in a Longue Durée Perspective by Raul Cârstocea

“…I thus argue against reading the Minority Treaties from a ‘presentist’ perspective that not only retrojects a certain teleological narrative that tends to read them along the familiar lines of ‘progress’, but bears the danger of naturalising certain categories – such as ‘the nation’, ‘the nation-state’, or ‘nationalism’ – in light of their subsequent prominence, which consequently acquires a certain air of inevitability. …”

“…Sharov’s prose, the relation of characters to  the text and the word together with the rewriting scenes show the specificity of the national mentality, according to which texts  testify the metaphysical laws of historical reality, and the belief that  the power of the word can transform reality. The teleological  understanding of history was based on the understanding of the text as an instrument of influence on the material world, as a force  of history. …”
