Imaginea "pieilor roşii" în Transilvania (secolul al XIX-lea şi pînă la Primul Război Mondial)

  • Subiect: Pervading Transylvania towards the end of the 161h century, the news and descriptions of the original inhabitants of the New Continent - present between the pages of the newspapers, the didactical manuals, encyclopaedias and other booklets - have focused primarily upon two things: the relation between the colonists and the Indians; and, secondly, the archetypical traits of the common indigenous people, from a moral and physical perspective. As the predominant historical image of the Indian in the representations of the Transylvanian imagery has been that of a victim, this portrayal has been completed with its moral correspondent. On this matter the Indian had the image of a skilled and fearsome, merciless and valiant warrior living in a pacific and serene community, in full harmony with nature. This perception - despite determined stories of savagery and brutality against the innocent (women and children), the radical sexist attitude of the Indians or of appalling killing customs - was to prevail and to gain popularity being praised as symbol of the wise fighter for his own freedom against the greed, the abuses and the vile character of the conquerors of the New World and their civil coercion based upon society.
