PREJUDECĂȚI ȘI STEREOTIPURI CU PRIVIRE LA PROPRIA IDENTITATE ÎN SPAȚIUL CULTURAL ROMÂNESC CONTEMPORAN
PREJUDICES AND STEREOTYPES CONCERNING SELF-IDENTITY IN CONTEMPORARY ROMANIAN CULTURAL SPACE

Summary/Abstract: The present article aims at pointing out a series of prejudices and stereotypes encountered in the contemporary Romanian discourse community (especially in media discourse and the social networks) regarding its cultural self-identity. Whereas the appreciation and the opening to foreign models which, once adopted, bring progress and contribute to breaking cultural barriers are positive attitudes, the exaggerated fondness for everything foreign, accompanied by stereotypical self-deprecation regarding one’s own culture and its members, reflect an identity crisis (a cultural cringe) which manifests itself by symptoms of an inferiority complex, resentments and anti-nationalism.
