Medvetánc: Oroszország angolszász sajtótükörben
Bear Dance: the representation of Russia in the English-speking media

Summary/Abstract: Dóra Mester’s study entitled Bear danceanalyses the representation of Russia in influential Anglo-Saxon economic weeklies and newspapers with regard to the stock-exchange crises in 1998. The essay utilises a comparative framework (the representation of Brasilia and the Western Self) and argues that a civilisation-discourse created in the period of Enlightenment has recently been revitalised and Russia is more clearly the constitutive other of the West than Brasil.
