L'édification d'une carrière ecclésiastique pendant la Première Guerre mondiale: L'histoire d'un prélat orthodoxe de Transylvanie. (French)

It would be difficult to imagine the events of World War I and at the same time overlook the importance of propaganda. In all areas of conflict, the period between 1914 and 1918 saw the circulation of numerous and convincing narratives regarding the stakes of the war. The belligerent states resorted to all the instruments likely to generate a mobilizing discourse that would vibrantly justify the participation in the war and make citizens identify with the national interests. However, when in a multiethnic state such as the Dual Monarchy Vasile Mangra (1850-1918), a metropolitan bishop belonging to a religious and ethnic minority assumes the prerogatives of a state agent and plays an essential role in the war propaganda, the analysis of such a phenomenon comes to include rather surprising levels of investigation.
