JOURNALISTIC ANTHROPOPROSES

Summary/Abstract: The first part of the book, Etnogeneză și țuică (Ethnogenesis and Tzuika) by Vintilă Mihăilescu is the journalistic diary of an undercover sociologist. The meditations and demonstrations regarding the state and authority, the proximity of the authorities and the construction of nations, paternalism and the juvenilization of the population introduce the reader to a cultural dance from which little is left out. With humor and irony front and center, Vintilă Mihăilescu treats the reader with narrative ingeniousness, resorting to the eternal sensibilities of Romanians. Some known, some less known, but all bearing correspondences in concepts and expressions that, sadly, do not pass the sociologists. The gain of philologists would be that much more significant. For example, why does our public discourse slip with predilection from history to myth? the anthropologist wonders.
