Iosif Berman · 1930

An important activity for preserving and transmitting traditions was the seating. The image presents the participation of the villagers in this revitalized activity through the contribution of the monographers. In the middle of the villagers we find Professor Gusti and his collaborators, C. Brailoiu and Harry Brauner. Photography during the excavations (June 29 - August 18, 1930) from Runcu, Gorj, village documented in 1486, located at the foothills of the Vâlcan Mountains in Sohodolului Gorge. Under the leadership of Professor Dimitrie Gusti (1880-1955, sociologist, academician, politician, initiator of the Sociological School from Bucharest) a team of 60 monographers has researched here methodically and analytically all the areas of his life - cosmological, biological, psychological, historical, economic, spiritual, politico-administrative. Following this campaign we defined the Romanian concepts about the theory and technique of sociological monography that were later known, appreciated and applied in European profile research. Photography, cacherata on a cardboard sheet; information: region, locality, title (in Romanian, French, German), date, photographer.
