| Abstract: | In their writings the Romanian scholars have most often presented their compatriots in relation to the others, dealing not only with their military and political acts, but also with their culture and mentality. But the main factor taken into consideration was the religious one to which was added the effect that the contact with “the other” had on the Romanian community. Our study discusses an approach from the perspective of the XVIIth century Romanian literary discourse of the way in which the Other was perceived, as the close or the far away stranger. The observations will indicate the connection between the Romanian mentality and the attitude towards the Other, expressed by means of using stereotypical expressions, prejudices and superficial images. |
