Abstract
If we conduct an opinion poll on the Vatican radio station, we find it the most probably, not many fellow citizens have knowledge of its existence. And even those who have heard more or less tangentially by its existence, a smaller part probably understands the relevance of this program for the preservation and promotion of Romanian identity. From the 4th cover of the book on which will be presented below, we find out that the Vatican Radio Department of Romania issued in 1947, being among the top 10 language programs that delivered linguistic messages, to which, according to the socio-political context, and lectures with a strong cultural character. In the following, we will review some professional milestones defining the professional route of the author, and we will present the relevance of the quoted study for the native and universal culture in general and for the humanities sciences from the Romanian academic environment in particular. Mrs. Carmen Banța is a lecturer at the University's Faculty of Letters from Craiova, her academic interests covering an impressive epistemic area: folk culture, folklore, anthropology, Romanian language and literature, etc. The paper Voice of the Romanians at Vatican Radio (1968-1974) records a part of the research done by the author at Accademia di Romania in Rome, Italy and in the archives of the radio station, a concern that materialized in the editing of numerous articles and books and the support of scientific communications in which it was brought to the fore the documentary relevance of the lectures delivered to Vatican Radio during the Romanian Communism, relevance too little known or underestimated so far. In fact, from this resides the original and innovative character of the paper. It is not a simple compilation of texts, as one might think, but the fruit of a lasting research designed to bring to the debate the importance of another communication channel which crossed the Iron Curtain in those troubled years besides the well-known, and, in my opinion, overcrowded in many ways ,Free Europe.
