Images of acculturation in “The Parisian tarot ”

Summary/Abstract: The current state of research on acculturation indicates that this issue has gained a growing interest in recent years among researchers such as Rudmin, Berry, Kim, Abreu, Malewska-Peyre. In the 1930’s, thanks to anthropologists such as Redfield, Linton and Herskovits, an understanding of the phenomenon of acculturation crystalized in the humanistic discourse. Already in the eighteenth century the idea of cultural identity in Western Europe interested Johann Gottfried Herder, who believed that every culture is homogeneous and national. A polemic with this vision of culture, which was paradigmatic for the nineteenth and twentieth century, was expounded by Wolfgang Welsch, who proposed his own concept of transculturality in the era of globalization. Wolfgang Welsch’s concept of transcultural identity is an important turning point in the study of the phenomenon of acculturation, which, as a matter of interest to psychologists, anthropologists, sociologists and philosophers of culture, is usually analyzed at the group level and opens the way to transfer these studies to the level of creative individual experience, specified in literary texts. The aim of the article is therefore an attempt to look at the image of acculturation fixed in the Parisian Tarot by Manuela Gretkowska, and the subject of interest are the artistic strategies for expressing this phenomenon.
