Childhood in 2 Mai. An Insider’s Perspective
Journal Title: Martor. The Museum of the Romanian Peasant Anthropology Review - Year 2013, Vol 18, Issue 18
Abstract
The holiday community established in the village of 2 Mai has always been a unique one, owing to the number of artists and intellectuals who chose this secluded beach settlement due to the sense of freedom it conveys, especially during the communist regime. This paper aims to provide an analysis of the writer’s childhood in 2 Mai, through the lens of auto-anthropology. The main perspective of this paper is that of an insider, as I was born and raised in the village of 2 Mai. My childhood was marked by the experience of working for the small sea shore restaurant owned by my parents from the early age of 12. The theoretical basis of this paper is rooted in social-psychology, by means of which I set out to provide insights into how I interacted with the adult world and how I perceived this particular universe as a child.
