Diferenţele culturale în oglinda orizonturilor temporale
Journal Title: Caietele „Lucian Blaga” - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
This paper aims to present some models of temporality emergent at the unconscious level of cultures, which are relevant in explaining the source of various cultural differences. This approach will have the starting point in the analysis of the horizons of time in the system of the stylistic matrix theorized by Lucian Blaga, which can be correlated with the cultural unconscious described by the American anthropologist Edward T. Hall. The time mandala imagined by Hall integrates several levels of time in a multifaceted system of temporality. The last section of the paper will focus on the way in which the orientation towards one of the three dimensions of time – the past, the present and the future – guides at an unconscious level the way of thinking and behaving of people with different cultural backgrounds. The three temporal horizons proposed by Blaga – the waterfall time, the river time and the fountain time – are analyzed in correspondence with the six time perspectives presented by Philip G. Zimbardo and John N. Boyd – pastnegative, past-positive, present-fatalistic, present-hedonistic, future and transcendental future – and with the two temporal orientations from the 6-D model constructed by Geert Hofstede – long term and short term – in order to reveal their relevance in intercultural dialogue.
