ABSTRACT:


The Legionary Movement and the Challenges of Modernity. Drawing upon valuable recent contributions brought about by an expanding new historiographical consensus in fascist studies, this article will briefly explore the manner in which the Legion of the Archangel Michael, regarded as the Romanian version of fascism, assigned significance to the evolution of historical and suprahistorical time, mainly but not exclusively focusing on modernity as a central component of the temporal pattern put forth by the movement. A careful selection of Legionary assessments of the modern era will be integrated into a wider temporal projection, assembled from various primary sources of notable ideological relevance. The resulting theoretical instrument which the article proposes is a sequential model consisting of five distinct, yet profoundly related chronological phases identifiable in Legionary thought, which will be successively analyzed in the course of the paper.

Keywords: fascism; the Legionary Movement; modernity; modernization; temporality.
