Cultural anthropology of media after the communism fall
Cultural anthropology of media after the communism fall

Summary/Abstract: Although neither being genuine, nor being purely by any metaphysical instance (such as an exterior substance), the Romanian media (as any media in the world) is a vast congregate of ornaments (stereotypes, preconceptions, virtues, lies etc.). The main topic of our research starts within two following questions: `How can we find a uniform mix in mass media, since it seems to be rather an eclectic diversity?` And `How can be interpreted such a unity found?` After we will answer at the first question through some theories (Siegfried Kracauer, Theodor Adorno, Marshal McLuhan, Guy Debord etc), we will interpret the unity accordingly with two main directions. First of them can be placed within the spectrum of tradition. The second of them can be found in the vast theories of the Lebenswelt.
