1. Tudor Rosu is working togheter with me on the Proceedings of Alcoholism: Historical and Social Issues... International conference. I think in December these proceedings will be published!
2. Since March the First I have been writing my book about history of cremation in 19th-21st century Romania. Peter C. Jupp will write the foreword for this book. For a while I belived I finished it but recently I have found new informations about the topic. Also, I have to go to Cenusa crematorium in Bucharest for a new documentation, again. Under these conditions I must postpone the publish of it. Very soon I will post here the list of the famous romanians who chose to be cremated.

My report to ANCS about Dying and Death... International Conference, second edition
This is my report which I send to the Romanian National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS) about Dying and Death ... conference, second edition.
This report is written in romanian language:
Prezentare generală:
Cea de a doua editie a conferinţei internationale Dying and Death in 18th-21st century Europe a fost organizată de către Universitatea 1 Decembrie 1918 din Alba Iulia şi Muzeul National al Unirii, Alba Iulia. Partenerii acestui eveniment ştiinţific au fost Consiliul Judeţean Alba, Direcţia de Patrimoniu Alba Iulia şi ANCS, sponsor fiind Corona SRL. Conferinţa a avut loc între 25 şi 27 septembrie 2009. Au participat 36 de cercetători din 7 ţări (Marea Britanie, Franţa, Olanda, Serbia, Polonia, Ungaria şi România), reprezentând diverse institute şi universităţi de prestigiu din ţară şi străinătate.
Conferinţa s-a bucurat de o reflectare bună la nivelul presei locale dar şi naţionale:

Importanţa conferinţei:
Această conferinţă este unică în România şi centrul şi sud-estul Europei, datorită tematicii speciale pe care o atinge. Din această perspectivă s-a urmărit permanentizarea acestei manifestări ştiintifice, lucru realizată prin organizarea celei de a doua ediţii. Conferinţa are prin definiţie un caracter interdisciplinar, datorită tematicii.
Obiective urmărite:
- încurajarea cercetărilor de gen în România;
- încurajarea dialogului interdisciplinar asupra tematicii, obiectiv realizat, conferinţa bucurându-se de participarea unor specialişti din diverse ramuri ale ştiinţei: istorici, sociologi, psihologi, medici, preoţi, filologi, asistenţi sociali sau, pe de altă parte, persoane direct implicate în industria funerară (Lajos Hodi, Cosmin Bodrean);
- discutarea paradigmelor oferite de diverse ştiinţe asupra tematicii, a raportului ştiinţă-religie în ecuaţia morţii precum şi încurajarea dialogului interconfesional în domeniu;
- sensibilizarea opiniei publice româneşti asupra importanţei tematicii, datorită specificităţilor naţionale în domeniu, dictate de scăderea demografică, calitatea scăzută a serviciilor medicale sau existenţa unor subiecte tabu privind unele aspecte ale muririi şi morţii în România (euthanasia sau problematica incinerărilor şi crematoriilor umane, ambele datorate poziţiilor de respingere adoptate de către Biserica Ortodoxă Română şi a influenţelor unor modele traditionale în societatea românească);
- încurajarea analizei comparative între modelele muririi şi a morţii între Europa Vestică şi cea Centrală şi Sud-Est;
- încercarea de implementare a unor modele vest europene în domeniu în România: spre exemplu serviciile de îngrijiri paliative (dictat şi de creşterea accentuată în ultimii ani a bolnavilor de cancer în România) sau a tanatologiei şi a sistemul de death education (implementat în Occident prin diverse programe ale unor universităţi de prestigiu – de pildă, Center for Death and Society, Universitatea din Bath, Marea Britanie);
- încurajarea dezvoltării unor dezbateri polemice pe subiecte privind murirea şi moartea în România: euthanasia, tematica crematoriilor şi incinerărilor umane, ultima dintre acestea fiind considerată drept alternativă la rezolvarea crizei locurilor de veci din mediul urban românesc
- încercarea de organizare a unei Asociaţii Române de Cercetare a Morţii (RADS), după modelele brevetate în Marea Britanie, Olanda sau Suedia;
- diseminarea rezultatelor sub forma editării unui volum al conferinţei, publicat într-o editură acreditată, precum şi difuzarea acestuia în cadrul unor biblioteci de prestigiu din ţară şi din străinătate.
Concluzii:
- Conferinţa şi-a atins scopurile urmărite, lucru demonstrat atât prin reflectarea sa la nivelul mass-mediei locale şi centrale, cât mai ales prin publicarea majorităţii comunicărilor prezentate. Din pacate nu toţi participanţii la conferinţă au reuşit să trimită în timp optim comunicările lor pentru publicarea acestora în volum, însă se va cauta ca comunicările trimise ulterior deadline-ului stabilit să fie incluse în reviste de specialitate din România (B sau B+, conform cotaţiilor stabilite de către CNCSIS);
- De asemenea un număr de 12 participanţi români la acestă conferinţă au decis în unanimitate organizarea Asociaţii Române de Cercetare a Morţii (RADS), demarându-se deja formalităţile legale pentru constituirea acesteia (obţinerea dovezii unicităţii titlului, urmat apoi de înregistrarea propriu-zisă a acestei asociaţii, unice în România). Rostul acestei asociaţii este asigurarea unui nucleu cât mai divers de cercetători români asupra domeniului, traducerea pentru înţelesul publicului larg a politicilor sociale privind moartea în România, semnalarea deficienţelor actuale în sistemul românesc al morţii şi încurajarea organelor abilitate de a proceda la diverse modificări pentru îmbunătăţirea acestuia.
- Din punct de vedere ştiinţific au fost atinse cele mai diverse subiecte presupuse de fenomenul muririi şi evenimentul morţii: modalităţile de dispunere asupra cadavrului (înhumare sau incinerare – ultimul dintre acestea fiind puţin răspândit în România); euthanasie, sinucidere, corelaţia boală-moartea în postmodernitate, subiectul îngrijirilor paliative, tematica literaturii (culturii) şi a morţii, istoria muririi şi a morţii, religia şi înţelesurile morţii etc.
- Au fost prezentate subiecte cu totul şi cu totul noi pentru realităţile morţii in România, cum este situatia înmormantarilor ecologice in Marea Britanie (Woodland Burials), model apărut doar din 1993.
- Sunt demne de remarcat polemicile născute în jurul acestor subiecte, chestiune care a încurajat lărgirea orizonturilor analitice şi expunerea critică a unor argumente pro şi contra asupra unor realităţi ale tematicii (de pildă, discuţia pe marginea tematicii crematoriilor în spaţiul românesc, a subiectului prevenţiei sinuciderii sau a cauzelor slabei dezvoltări a serviciilor de îngrijire paliativă în România). Din acestă perspectivă, este salutară dimensiunea interdisciplinară, multiculturală, multietnică sau interconfesională a acestei conferinţe.
- A fost extrem de benefică prezenţa unor “profesionişti” ai morţii la acestă conferinţă, ceea ce a determinat posibilitatea concretă de corelare a unor aspecte teoretice cu cele practice.
- Se va organiza cea de a treia ediţie a acestei conferinţe în iulie sau septembrie 2010, scopul urmărit de organizatorii fiind ca această manifestare ştiinţifică să devină o replică central-sud est-europeană la conferinţele de gen din Europa Occidentală (de pildă conferinţa Death, Dying, and Disposal of the Body (DDD) organizată din doi în doi ani, în Anglia, care în 2009 a ajuns la cea de a noua ediţie, având peste 150 de participanţi din peste 20 de ţări de pe cinci continente). Pentru atingerea acestui scop, se va urmări invitarea unor cercetători provenind din spaţiul fostei Uniuni Sovietice, din ţările balcanice, precum şi din fostele state comuniste europene, alături de cercetători din Europa Occiodentală.

The Beginning *part two
Here is the second volume of my PhD thesis (1999-2005):
Marius Rotar, Moartea in Transilvania in secolul al XIX-lea, vol. II (Death in 19th century Transylvania), Cluj Napoca, Accent, 2007, 720 p.
I'm nostalgic a bit... The advisor of my PhD. thesis was professor Nicolae Bocsan, from "Babes-Boylai" University of Cluj Napoca, but the hughest influence upon me had professor Toader Nicoara from the same university.
From foreign country John D. Morgan *Canada, RIP, Peter C. Jupp *UK and Marina Sozzi *Italy encouraged me very much to go on with my researches into the dying and death studies.

The proceedings of Dying and Death in 18th-21st century Europe, Intenational conference, second edition is almost done. Corina Rotar, the technical editor of these proceedings is hardly working on it. I think these proceedings will have about 29 papers.
Next week we will start to work on the proceedings of Alcoholism: Historical and Social Issues, International conference.
Unfortunately I didn't have time to work on Romanian Association for Death Studies but I will do it next week. I hope at the middle of November 2009 we can begin to make the first registrations at our association.
Also, I think at the beginning of November 2009 me and Cosmin Bodrean will organize at Hunedoara a press news for presenting AMURG. Romanian Cremation Association.
Although we are very busy working on different projects and ideas we *Corina Rotar, Tudor Rosu and myself will organize in the first half of November 2009 the championship of badminton at "1 Decembrie 1918" University of Alba Iulia. We are hardly waiting for this event and also to beat students! I hope I will be the winner of this event because the main challenger from my University, namely my friend Paul Nanu, is gone working right now at the University of Turku, Finland!

It's very hard for me to write about Dying and Death in 18th-21st century Europe, International Conference, second edition. Too many emotions, a lot of good things happened with this event:
1. A high level of the papers' quality and I'm so pleased with this. I'm gratefull for this to all the participants at the conference.
2. We decided to organize Romanian Association for Death Studies and at the beginning of next week I will send to Romanian Minister of Justice the requirement for approval this. I hope we will be about 30-40 members of this association. I proposed to my colleagues to move into an another location the next edition of the conference. My opinion is nobody from them will take the responsability to organize this conference and under these conditions I think we will make it again but not in Alba Iulia. Maybe we will organize it somewhere at the countryside here near Alba Iulia *Albac or Ampoita for instance - there are so very nice questhouses over there and the landscape is very spectacular. Tudor Rosu and Corina Rotar are agree with this idea. I need time for finding out the best solution. Anyway at the end of this year the call for papers for the third edition of the conference will be appearing. Also, it's very possible to move this conference in other period of the year, perhaps in July but I don't know for sure right now.
3. Some reactions in romanian mass-media about conference can be found here:

1. Due to some problems upon the reservations at Hotel Parc in Alba Iulia we needed to change the accomodation place for some of the participants. So, some of them will have the accomodation at the "1 Decembrie 1918" University of Alba Iulia Hotel. I will send mails informing the conference's participants about this new situation. It's about double hotel rooms having 2 stars +, 2 bed, bathroom and TV. I'm sorry for this inconvenience!
2. On Saturday the final programme of the conference will be done and I will post it on this blogspot.
3. I think on Tuesday we will organize a press news at the National Museum of Unification about the conference.

at home ... again
1. I came back from Durham to Alba Iulia. I missed my family and Romania, too but attending at DDD9 conference it was a great experience for me. I presented my paper and I had 5 or 6 questions. I hope I gave good answers at these. Generally speaking participants attending at DDD9 were interested in my topic and in Dying and Death in 18th-21st... International Conference. Many of them expressed their wishes to come to Romania for next year edition of the conference. Also, I proposed to the leading of ASDS to organize DDD10 in Romania in 2011.
2. I visited Durham crematorium and thanks to Julie Rugg I had seen the furnaces chamber. For the first time in my life I saw a burning dead body. I confess I was afraid by this moment but I got through this final test of mine and now I'm sure 200% I'm a cremationist.
3. Some changed title for Dying and Death... Conference:
Hanna J. Rumble (UK), 'Woodland Burial: a contemporary burial innovation in Britain'
Silvia Marin (Romania), Accompagner Saint Christophe, le protecteur contre «la male mort». Des thèmes eschatologiques dans l'iconographie occidentale et roumaine
4. On the occasion of Dying and Death.... Conference I think it's the proper time for organizing a Romanian Association for Death Studies (RADS). I propose this to all the romanian participants at the conference.
5. Today I received from Romanian Minister of Justice the approval of Amurg. Romanian Cremation Association. This is a great news for all the adepts of cremation in Romania and a historical time for development of this practice of the disposal of the body in Romania! Warning: this is not a joke - BE PREPARED TO BE PULVERIZED!
6. A "profile" of Victor Tudor Rosu, one of the co-organizers of Dying and Death... Conference can be found on http://www.adevarul.ro/articole/alba-iulia-tudor-rosu-este-un-istoric-pentru-care-pasiunea-si-studiul-merg-mana-in-mana.html
Tudor Rosu is one of my best friends and the hugest Elvis Presley's fan between the romanian historians! Congratulations!

1. Last week I received by mail the final programme of DDD9 conference which will be held at Durham University, UK between 9-12 of September 2009. Looking inside of it I didn't find out the name of Adela Toplean. Therefore I believe I am again the only romanian attending at this conference. I'm very sorry for this! I will be gone to Durham this evening.
2. After participants' rates at Alcoholism: Historical and Social Issues International Conference Patrick Dimitros Akrivos (Greece)'s paper was declared the best paper/presentation. Congratulations Patrick!

The local version of Adevarul (The Truth) newspaper published yesterday a "profile" of mine. Unfortunately, this paper is written in romanian language: http://www.adevarul.ro/articole/alba-iulia-portert-marius-rotar-a-scris-prima-lucrare-istorica-dedicata-mortii.html

1. Unfortunately, Denis Cettour (France) cannot attend at the Dying and Death conference due his own personal problems.
2. Here there are two new participants at this conference and their papers' titles:
Mihai Burlacu (Romania), Cemeteries' destiny in the istro-romanian villages - An anthropological viewpoint
Lajos Hodi (Hungary), Szeged crematorium - past, present and future
Mr. Hodi is the former director of this hungarian crematorium.
3. I changed the topic of my paper for Dying and Death conference:
Marius Rotar, Cosmin Bodrean (Romania), Point of no Return: Proposal for a Romanian Cremation Association (Amurg)
4. My collegues from The Systemic Arhchaeology Institute (IAS - director PhD. Mihai Gligor), "1 Decembrie 1918" University of Alba Iulia in collaboration with National Museum of Unification will organize an exhibition entitled "Beliefs and Funerary Rites in Apulum: Homes for World Beyond". Although it's about an independent event from Dying and Death Conference the varnishing day of this exhibition will take place on 25th of september 2009 after opening ceremony of the Conference because, in the issue, it's about the same topic: death and imaginary of death! Apulum is one of the ancient names of Alba Iulia town.
4. Today I sent to the Romanian Minister of Justice the requirement for the approval of the Amurg. Romanian Cremation Association. So, we are in the bee line with our planns for development of cremation in Romania. For time being it's for real: Be prepared to be pulverized!
5. It will be two romanians attending at DDD9 conference in Durham, UK next week: Adela Toplean from Bucharest and myself! I hope we will make a good team over there!

4. Today I sent to the Romanian Minister of Justice the requirement for the approval of the Amurg. Romanian Cremation Association. So, we are in the bee line with our planns for development of cremation in Romania. For time being it's for real: Be prepared to be pulverized!
5. It will be two romanians attending at DDD9 conference in Durham, UK next week: Adela Toplean from Bucharest and myself! I hope we will make a good team over there!
6. A very good reflection of Alcoholism: Historical and Social Issues International Conference can be found on http://www.realitateaalba.ro/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7291:ALCOLISM-ISTORIC-Istorici--sociologi--psihologi--medici-şi-preoţi-din-10-ţări-participă-la-Alba-Iulia-la-un-simpozion-internaţional-care-are-ca-temă-alcoolismul--_2009-08-28-19-15-35&catid=12:social&Itemid=13

My abstract for DDD9, Durham, UK, 9-12 of September 2009
Death and Cremation in Communist Romania
This paper aims to analyze the place of the cremation into the death system of communist Romania, bringing into the light its specificities on comparison with the previous epoch. The instauration of communist power in Romania in 1947 meant an attempting to apply a vast project of the society reconstruction. Inside of this project leaded by the communists the patterns of “new man” produced new euphemisms and a new taboo around death event, having an ideological support: death was considered a reflex of life – a simple life dedicated to the proletarian aims. During that time it appeared different nuances of this pattern due to the implementation of the atheist model at the societal level (1970-1989).
As regards the cremation, this practice knew some continuity and several discontinuities during the period. Therefore, cremation continued to be at the same level as inhumation from the legal pointview (Romanian Penal Code, 1955). On the other hand, cremation knew mutations as practice due to the preference of some Romanian communist leadership for it (Iosif Ranghet, Lothar Radaceanu, and so on). Their preference for cremation tried to be a pattern of communist way of life and death. But this situation was incapable to generate a larger pattern in Romania. I could affirm the Romanian communist power did not intend to implement as practice the cremation from all the country and I try to explain this situation from many perspectives:
1. the possibility to build and use new crematories in communist Romania;
2. the “original” relation between communist political power and Romanian Orthodox Church which strongly rejected the cremation.
Such situation caused the existence of a single crematory in Romania, during the communist period.
Also, the present paper brings into the light one of the dark side of the Romanian communist regime which used the evil politics of cremation for deleting the trails of its violent repression during the events of 17th -22nd of December 1989.

I submitted a paper for a Romanian journal. This paper was rejected being considered propaganda for cremation. Initially, I was angry with this but now I'm thinking this is a honor for me. It's about the Romanian version of my paper presented at CBCE 2009 conference in Bournemouth, UK. I hope my friend Cosmin Bodrean will succeed with his plans... I will do my best for helping him. It's time for a big change! How many Romanians are prepared for this?

My abstract for CBCE 2009 conference:
Between Two Fires: Cremation in the 20th-21st Centuries, Romania
Presentation Description:
This paper brings into the light aspects of cremation in Romania. At the beginning it is presented a short history of cremation in 19th-21st centuries Romania, pointing out the main moments of this practice. As regard of the problem of cremation after 1989 there are emphasized six possible key-term moments: the echoes in Romanian society of Vama (Customs en.) Operation, during the Romanian anti-communist revolution from December 1989, when, at Cenuşa Crematoria in Bucharest, 43 dead bodies of the some people from Timişoara, killed during the riots in this town were burnt; the opening of the second crematoria in Bucharest in 1994 Vitan Bârzeşti; the strike of the employers of Vitan-Bârzeşti crematoria between 3-10 of February 1997; the closing of Cenuşa Crematoria in Bucharest in 2003; the issues of lack of places for burial in Romanian urban area and the alternative of this represented by the cremation; the “Panteonul României” project made by Romanian Academy which being realized in 2010 would mean the demolition of the Cenuşa Crematoria’s building. Also, the paper emphasized the legal status of cremation in Romania, the strong rejection of the cremation by Romania Orthodox Church, and the reverberations of this practice in Romanian mass-media after 1989. Finally, in the author’s opinion there are few chances for the cremation development in Romania, in the future, especially due to the Romanian Orthodox Church opposition and the lack of a real debate upon the topic and its public utility in Romanian society of nowadays.
