“…El estudio de las percepciones e imágenes transnacionales expresadas en el discurso literario, la imagología, sigue siendo un campo de estudio necesario para resolver malentendidos en la interpretación de los artefactos culturales y para situar correctamente nuestra perspectiva en la compresión histórica del otro (Beller y Leerssen, 2007;Zacharasiewicz, 2010).…”

“…This paper, therefore, suggests complementing discourse analysis with imagolocial approaches from the field of literary criticism. Literary imagology as pioneered by Hugo Dyserinck, Manfred S. Fischer, Waldemar Zacharasiewicz, and others, has moved well beyond the descriptive reconstruction of how members of one culture perceived other countries, regions and peoples (Beller, Agazzi, & Calzoni, 2006;Dukić, 2012;Fischer, 1981;Zacharasiewicz 2010). Rather, they are systematically asking for the notions of the self not only written into but also constructed by the very representation of other countries, regions and peoples.…”

Drawing on a systematic close reading of all relevant articles published in three leading management journals since 1990, the paper analyzes the images of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) circulating in the business community at the turn of the twenty-first century. It suggests that a mere stocktaking of Western perceptions of 'the East' is not enough, arguing that CEE images in the post-Cold War managerial discourses should be analyzed in both their cultural embeddedness and their epistemological function for the construction of knowledge about CEE. The methodological approach combines a poststructuralist discourse analysis with imagological theories originating in the field of literary criticism to reconstruct the images CEE and investigate into their communicative function in processes of managerial meaning-making and knowledge construction. As such, the paper aims at an analysis of managerial meta-discourses and the very premises and assumptions that generated them.

“…By the mid‐eighteenth century, this body of prejudices hardened into a master opposition that has also dominated European thought ever since: the idea that the south of Europe, with its Romance languages, represents a continuation of a Roman‐imperial tradition (as evinced by the perceived preponderance of Catholicism and an alleged tendency to monarchical government), whereas the north with its Germanic languages represents a continuation of tribal‐democratic polities (as evinced by the perceived preponderance of Protestantism and an alleged tendency to parliamentary or republican government). This myth (for such it is) derives from humanist authors, and by way of Montesquieu's L'Esprit des Lois (where it was aligned with the climatological‐temperamental differences between a cool/cerebral north and a warm/sensual south) has been almost all‐pervasive in European mentalities and discourse (Shackleton ; Zacharasiewicz , ).…”

Denied ethnicism: on the Walloon movement in Belgium

The Walloon movement is the lesser‐known counterpart to the Flemish movement in Belgium. In contemporary political debate it presents itself, and is usually perceived, as a civic and voluntaristic movement predicated on the values of democracy, freedom, openness and anti‐nationalism. As such it is contrasted against its Flemish counterpart, which accordingly is characterised as tending towards an ethnic exclusivist form of nationalism hinging on descent, culture and language. However, the historical record behind these representations shows that the Walloon movement is rooted in ethno‐cultural as much as social politics, and that it has always contained both civic and ethnic elements to varying degrees. This article highlights the Walloon movement in order to analyse the language and national stereotypes in which national movements are characterised both in political rhetoric and in scholarly analysis. The case is particularly relevant for the problematic usage of the ‘civic–ethnic’ opposition, slipping between the discourses of antagonism and analysis; one type of such slippage is here identified as ‘denied ethnicism’.
