The research group Communities, representations, cultural intersections (CRCI) includes scholars with varied expertise in the field of Humanities (Philology, Ethnology, Anthropology, History, History of Art etc.), affiliated to academic and cultural institutions (universities, research institutes, museums and others) or independent researchers from Romania and other countries. The group members are especially (but not exclusively) concerned with topics such as histories of communities, material and immaterial culture, collective practices, rituals, discourses, and representations. CRCI envisages a particular approach of fertile “intersections”, opening multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary reflections upon dynamics of different cultural elements, which are characteristic to certain groups and communities across space and time. By exploring objects, activities, behaviours, beliefs, and forms of expression (among others), the members aim to construct an innovative conceptual and methodological frame of interpretation.
