The mioritic nation – an alternative approach to Moldovan national identity

Moldova has been widely argued to be a failed nation-building project, with two national identity discourses coexisting within Moldovan society and amongst Moldovan elites: Romanianism and Moldovanism. Challenging the dominance of these discourses in the literature, this article argues that in spite of its absence from the nationalism debate in Moldova, the ballad Miori?a is a key element for the Moldovan articulation of national identity. The analysis employs a discursive approach focused on language as a constituting phenomenon and draws from Miori?a's appeal to the grass roots level, its banality in day-to-day life, and, more importantly, its promotion by Moldovan cultural elites. This latter part focuses specifically on the writings of novelist Ion Dru??. Dru?? places Miori?a at the very center of his construction of Moldovan national identity. He highlights its links with Moldovan history, culture, religious thinking, and geographical space, both reproducing a structure similar to the two national identity discourses, Romanianism and Moldovanism, and building on their similarities. But more importantly, Dru??'s representation of national identity sheds light on the possibility of an all-encompassing Moldovan identity, overcoming the existing cleavage, and a series of mechanisms that can be employed to achieve this.     

Public-Sector Consolidated Financial Statements: An Analysis of the Comment Letters on IPSASB’s Exposure Draft No. 49

试论犯罪的加重形态

论合同附随义务违反的归责原则与法律后果

附随义务是债务人基于诚信原则,为维护债权人的固有利益,在给付义务之外所负担的必要注意及保护义务。在判断附随义务存在与否及其履行与否等问题上,债务人主观因素起着决定性的作用,因而附随义务的违反以过错为归责原则,这符合附随义务的性质、目的及交易实践。违反附随义务,债务人应当承担债务不履行责任,其最主要者,为承担损害赔偿责任,于例外情形还可成立强制履行和违约金责任,及构成合同解除之原因。
