Displaying Ethnically Mixed Families in Transylvania
Displaying Ethnically Mixed Families in Transylvania

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the way mixed couples of Transilvania display their ethnicity, using the conceptual framework of displaying practices (Finch, 2007, 2011). We identify three alternative ways of displaying in the case of mixed couples: display of a merged identities, of a double identity, and of a mixed identity as a mere facade. These emerge depending on the parners’ level of acceptance in what concerns the other’s ethnicity and on the degree of resistance on behalf of the public(family, friends, community) couples encounter.
