Construind alteritatea nocturnă în imaginarul din sudul Transilvaniei. Mimică și gestică în reprezentările evreilor din iconografia ortodoxă a secolului al XIX-lea
PICTURING THE DIFFERENCE IN THE COLLECTIVE IMAGINARY OF SOUTHERN TRANSYLVANIA. GESTURE AND MIMICS OF JEWS FROM THE NINETEENTH CENTURY ORTHODOX ICONOGRAPHY

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the construction of the religious and ethnic otherness in the 19th century Orthodox iconography from Southern Transylvania. If the religious identity is still powerful in the 18th, as we approach the middle of the next century, the frequency of the visual insertions with ethnical and social references increases. The phenomenon can be examined in a rewarding way for the historiographic research and cultural studies in the mural painting from the Romanian churches. The visual sequences belonging to the Passion Cycle, disseminated in a specific geographical area from three generations family of artists, will be investigated in their symbolic and ideological dimension.
