Recent Researchy by Ilie Badescu

World Renowned Ethnomorpholigograher Ilie Bădescu recently publish a paper at http://www.cee-socialscience.net/archive/sociology/romania/report1.html. Here is a great excerpt, also the subject of my upcoming class at UVAT

"Ethnicity as collective inhabiting
[38] Dorel Abraham, Septimiu Chelcea, and Ilie Bădescu specify their constructivist approach in terms of ethnomorphology, treating cohabition as a phenomenon of ethnic interaction, in contrast to the old cliches of ethnic monads. Backed by such analytical instruments as Bogardus’ scale of social distance and Tajfel's theory of social comparison, the authors have delineated four different patterns of cohabiting specific to the various cultural areas of Romania: cosmopolite, intercultural, cantonal, and ethnocentric (1995)."
