摘要:The author proposes a symbolic analysis of the national flags and other objects painted in the national colors, that have been recently erected in the city of Cluj- Napoca, Romania. The interpretative approach focuses on three levels: the first one uses the tools of the politi- cal imagery, by connecting the flags and painted objects with the idea of ethnicity. The second level involves an analysis that is situated between semiotics and phenom- enology, treating the different types of objects as mark- ers or implants that modify the environment of the city. At the third level, the national symbols are interpreted through the lenses of the science of religion. Finally, the lack of reaction of citizens is called into question and various types of motivations are analyzed.
