of some present aspects of cross- making and of the cultural significance of
the roadside crucifixes in these areas;
b) public: participants in cultural events related to the project theme
organized locally, regionally, nationally, internationally (the international
conference, local debates, plastic art exhibitions and photos as documents);
c) specialized public: scientific community.
the beneficiaries through media channels are:
a) radio audience (the most significant parts for defining the roadside
crucifixes as a sign of cultural identity were broadcast to the “oltenia”
radio, Craiova – in specialized shows);
b) virtual Internet public (the visitors of the site project). During
carrying out the project, we wanted to recapture the image of a trade which
is dying out (namely the trade of making crosses), to present the context
and the dynamics of today’s popular trade, to identify the centers where
cross-making is still active, the ritualisation of roadside crucifixes, as well
as to draw a typology which should also include recent roadside crucifixes
(functional and symbolic changes, figure and aesthetic representation etc).
the romanian communities from Bulgaria and Serbia represented
in this context by the union of the romanian ethnics “AVe” from
Bulgaria and the literary-Artistic Society “tibiscus” from uzdin, Serbia;
reintroduction in the cultural network of some passive traditional values;
emphasis/reactivation of some elements/components of the local identity
that have been socially forgotten.
the increase of the radio station audience as a result of the broadcast of
the entire public events at “oltenia” radio Craiova Station met two targets:
• the radio reception of the research results (the “oltenia” radio
Station broadcasts in the Bulgarian timoc);
• the integration of the project results in the usual subjects of the
traditional radio shows at “oltenia” radio station, craiova, “izvoraşul”
radio’s journal for folklore and ethnology and “la fântâna dorului” radio’s
journal for the romanians everywhere.
Media communication of the traditional values, involving the
perspectives of a quality ethnological research, respecting, at the same
time, the standards of an efficient radio communication.
the previous research regarding the romanian roadside crucifixes
have created a large space for analysis, offering important information
about their cultural and historic context, numerous ethnographic details
about the roadside crucifixes’ typology.
new aesthetic, ethnologic/anthropological valuations of the roadside
crucifixes are necessary, especially for those from the oltenia region, but
