Managementul conectării şi resursele ideologice ale puterii
Connection Management and the Ideological Resources of Power

Summary/Abstract: The modern individual is performance oriented; hence, he is highly preoccupied with connecting himself with the public. His means of communication (mainly the imago-visual ones) are being permanently adjusted on a performative basis. Therefore, it turns to be more important what an individual is able to provide in public rather than whom he actually is and what values shape him up. Absorbed by a social “dialect” which he uses by reasons of conformity, any individual becomes the promoter of a culture of dissimulation. The vassalage’s architecture articulates in the ambit of individual’s ability to exploit the personal formulas of consensus. In the following we will thus argue that Romania missed its modernity, partly because of the residual effect of the post-feudal model of authority and because of the inertia of the vassalage system.
