Summary/Abstract: In this article our aim is to discuss the importance of cultural identity shaping and to raise the flag with regard to perceptive dystopias deliberately maintained by various actors through a colonization of the imaginary aiming to trigger the creation of certian cultural identities, more often than not in the logic of cultivating inferiority. We understand myopia and hyperopia in a metaphorical sense – as maladies that are perceptive towards a healthy perception we consider a road to success. From our point of view, cultural identity represents the critical emotional infrastructure for the development and survival of a nation who, if altered, can easily play the game of other actors and serve other interests.
