Summary/Abstract: The present times provide us with events provoking a multitude of social reactions – from callous indifference to oversensitivity towards various phenomena. In the last decade most of the allergic social reactions were caused by terrorists rather than artists. The key issue is the attention of the media as well as the production of images determined by media logic and preserved in the collective imagination.
