It offers an historical analysis of the construction of the Romanian nation in relation to the West, highlighting Roma minority's exclusion from the nationalist project and its marginalization. It analyzes racial/ethnic and gender representations in Romanian media, scholarship and everyday life and their intersection with constructions of the private and public in communist and post-communist Romania.

520 $a This dissertation critically examines gender and race relations, representations and political economy in post-communist Romania through the lens of performance. It offers an historical analysis of the construction of the Romanian nation in relation to the West, highlighting Roma minority's exclusion from the nationalist project and its marginalization. It analyzes racial/ethnic and gender representations in Romanian media, scholarship and everyday life and their intersection with constructions of the private and public in communist and post-communist Romania.
520 $a This is a multi-sited feminist ethnography focused on four case studies that address two metonyms of Romania in the West---the Roma and the orphans. I study staged performances, as well as performances in everyday life, as loci where global and local phenomena intersect. Romania's marginalization in the West and the EU negotiations, on the one hand, and the marginalization of the Roma population in Romania and their media representations, on the other, inform these performances.
520 $a Chapter One provides a theoretical and methodological introduction to the issues of gender, race and class differences and the ways they affect the perception of young homeless people, orphans and Roma. Chapter Two offers a parallel analysis of the nineteenth-century invention of the Romanian nation and folklore---with the exclusion of Roma---and contemporary attempts to legitimize Roma culture, illustrated at the 2002 Roma Fair in Bucharest. Chapter Three engages the Bucharest production of Home, where homeless youth performed homeless characters, and assesses the role of theatre in resuscitating civil society, while Chapter Four examines the use of Theatre of the Oppressed methods in a Romanian orphanage. Finally, Chapter Five is an ethnography of a poor Roma community that offers a critique of the narrow definitions of Roma culture at the Roma Fair.
520 $a This work is situated at the intersection of performance studies, theatre studies, anthropology and cultural studies. It fills in a gap in the research on performance for social change in East Central Europe and in the study of Roma identity in post-communist Romania.
