Summary/Abstract: This article aims to present some of the stereotypes concerning Jews, present in the Romanian and European culture, focusing on the legend of the wandering Jew. A legend that created a stereotype of a man with no homeland, no home, untrustworthy.In studied works of popular culture, literature, cultural anthropology, philosophy, psychoanalysis and Linguistics, we watched the clichés that comprise the physical portrait, professional, spiritual, moral and religious of “"the imaginary Jew” and the balancing of the border between reality and imaginary.Starting from the premise that we study an act of speech, therefore, a form of linguistic action, we have also indicated the discursive Imaging that proposes the transmission of a collective, persuasive message, with the clear intent of the speaker to influence another person.
