Abstract

The paper is an attempt to interpret some of the most frequently used paradigms and syntagms belonging to the European discourse since Romania joined the European Union against the background of cultural postmodernism. The process of communication, that is of encoding and decoding messages, circumscribes, on the one hand, a type of two-way journey (from European authoritative institutions to a local individual and from the latter back to European heights) and, on the other hand, the awareness of a double citizenship mentality (both Romanian and European).
