The last couple hundred years in Romanias history have been marked by change of political regimes, but this manuscript pays equal attention to an important continuity in Romanias ontological world: its understanding of the landscape, and the relationship between Romanian people and their land. From political discourses to childrens books, to literature, and explanations found for everyday events, the book follows the ways in which the landscape of Romania has been understood as a sentient being imbued with willpower and ability to act on the world. The sentience specific to Romanias landscape is characterized by xenophobiaa fear and distrust of ethno-religious othersthat has been historically interpreted by Romanians as manifesting through acts of violence enacted by the landscape towards various groups of humans understood as dangerous to the countrys unity. The novelty of this book lies in the fact that it is an in-depth analysis of an ontological world in which sentient landscapes are de-romanticized and presented in their uncomfortable complexity. The concept of sentient xenophobic mountains can add a great deal to the current literature on the ontological turn and ontological multiplicities, by questioning binaries like colonized/colonizer, indigenous/colonial, sentient landscape/industrial superpower. Romanias history makes it a good case study for this exercise, as the country has been at the margins of empires, both desired because of its natural resources and rejected because of the perceived inferiority of its people, both racialized and racist, both neoliberal and imagining absolute sovereignty. . 001449781 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 7, 2022). 001449781 650_0 $$aXenophobia$$zCarpathian Mountains$$xHistory. 001449781 650_0 $$aEthnology$$zRomania. 001449781 650_0 $$aEthnology$$zCarpathian Mountains. 001449781 650_0 $$aOntology. 001449781 651_0 $$aCarpathian Mountains$$xSocial conditions. 001449781 651_0 $$aRomania. 001449781 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001449781 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001449781 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783031131127 001449781 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aCotofana, Alexandra.$$tXenophobic mountains.$$d[Cham, Switzerland] : Palgrave Macmillan, [2022]$$z3031131118$$w(OCoLC)1334659863 001449781 852__ $$bebk 001449781 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-13112-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001449781 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1449781$$pGLOBAL_SET 001449781 980__ $$aBIB 001449781 980__ $$aEBOOK 001449781 982__ $$aEbook 001449781 983__ $$aOnline 001449781 994__ $$a92$$bISE
