PERCEPTIONS OF EUROPEAN ANTI-AMERICANISM REFLECTED IN ROMANIAN CULTURAL JOURNALS

Abstract

This study aims to highlight the main characteristics of Western European anti - American ism – a long-standing phenomenon, which has become more powerful and widespread after the end of the Cold War – from a Romanian perspective. After a brief presentation of some of the most representative features of anti - American attitudes identified by scholars in the field, I will analyse several articles published in the last decade in two Romanian cultural journals – Revista 22 and Dilema Veche – focusing on their authors’ perception of Western European exacerbated criticism of America.
