Overview

In The Slavic Dossier, Iurie Stamati's objective is to understand the reasons for the emergence of two different discourses on the place of the Slavs on the territory of Moldova and their role in the genesis of Moldovans and their culture during the medieval period in the Soviet archaeology. His analysis goes beyond the utilitarian perception of Soviet archeology. To achieve this, Stamati not only questions the political contexts in which these discourses emerged, but also looks at the history of the Moldovan archaeological field, personal profiles of archaeologists, their theoretical and ideological attachment, relationships and interactions with each other inside and outside the archaeological field.

...Monografia de fata, publicata recent la prestigioasa editura Brill avand numarul 53 in seria ingrijita de Florin Curta si Dusan Zupka, East Central and Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages, 450-1450, reprezinta expresia profunzimii si consecventei profesionale a cercetatorului Iurie Stamati [...] In cartea sa, accentul este pus pe originea celor doua tipuri de discurs istoriografic, fiind inspirat din abordarile unor sociologi (Pierre Bourdieu) sau arheologi (Lev Klejn, Bruce Trigger, Marc-Antoine Kaeser). [..] Lucrarea este deosebit de utila pentru o mai buna cunoastere si intelegere a caracteristicilor cercetarii arheologiei slavilor in spatiul est-european, a contextului social-politic si cultural in care s-a constituit si a evoluat arheologia slavilor pe teritoriul R.S.S. Moldovenesti... , Ludmila Bacumenco-Pirnau in Arheologia Moldovei, XLII, 2019 ENG: The monograph recently published at the prestigious BRILL publishing house [...] is an expression of professional depth and consistency of the researcher Iurie Stamati, who introduces in the scientific circuit the results of a true historiographic insight into the problem of Slavic archeology [...] The use of a rigorous research methodology, innovative, yet little used, inspired from the works of some sociologists, but also archaeologists (Bourdieu, Klein, Trigger, Kaeser), has allowed identification of so far completely unknown aspects in the history of research of early medieval vestiges from Republic of Moldova [...] The paper is very useful for getting a deeper knowledge and understanding of characteristics of the Slavic archeology research in East-European area, of the social-political and cultural context in which the archeology of the Slavs in the territory of SSR Moldova was established and evolved... , , , , - (One can only welcome the appearance of a book whose purpose is to analytically reflect and identify the origins and motives of the ideological battle that arose during the development of regional archaeological science, to understand the paradoxical historiographic situation that unfolded within the medieval archeology of Soviet Moldova.) ... . , , . , , (Iurie Stamati's book will not go unnoticed. The book addresses a number of painful issues that are still dividing Moldavian archaeologists and historians; also the methodology used can serve as an example in the study of other national archaeological schools of the post-Soviet area, and not only.) Roman Rabinovich, High Anthropological School University, Chisinau in Stratum plus, issue number 5, 2019, 401-408 Demersul lui Iurie Stamati poate servi drept un exemplu de abordare echilibrata si echidistanta a celor doua concepte istoriografice aflate in antagonism. [...] Lucrarea lui Iurie Stamati, fata indoiala, este un studiu foarte bine documentat, care ne permite o mai buna intelegere atat a discursurilor istoriografice privind arheologia slava in spatiul pruto-nistrean din perioada sovietica, cat si a profilului academic al celor angajati in aceste discutii. . Sergiu MUSTEATA, in Plural, 8 (2), 2020. ENG: Iurie Stamati's approach may serve as an example of a balanced and prudent approach to those two historiographic concepts [the Slavic dossier and the archaeology of the early Middle Ages in the Republic of Moldova] that are still in opposition to each other. [...] Iurie Stamati's work is without any doubt a very well researched study, which allows a better understanding of the historiographic discourses regarding the Slavic archaeology in the lands between the Prut and the Dniester rivers during the Soviet period, as well as the academic profile of those engaging in those discussions. I therefore recommend this book to all those interested in the history of the archaeology and history-writing in the Soviet Union. Iurie Stamati's book is an excellent example of critical analysis of the post-war academic discourses in Eastern Europe.
