Abstract
The paper is presenting the bibliography and the sources referring to the problems of Romanian peasant identities
in Transylvania in the modern epoch. After reviewing the bibliography, a classification and an analysis of sources
id made, divided into sources that “go in” (religious, educational and school literature, calendars, churchly
memoranda) and sources that “go out” from the village world (offcial inquiries, notes on the book and folklore).
Further on the author insists upon the folkloric sources being analyzed a series of folk texts relevant for the
problems of identity. The conclusions highlight the similitude between identity mechanisms at the level of peasant
mentality and the modern ones.
