Abstract

The popular Romanian sitcom Las Fierbinți serves as a cultural-ideological pedagogical instrument propagating urban middle-class and neoliberal values. The show ridicules semi-rural inhabitants, portraying them negatively and implying their inability to adapt to modern society. Multimodal critical discourse analysis reveals the sitcom’s national-pedagogical objectives, which it pursues through promoting several key themes. The show explicitly supports national public policies, positioning them as triumphs over rural ignorance and scepticism. It also espouses cultural progressivism, while reinforcing neoliberal individualism by attributing economic stagnation to individual moral failure and a supposedly weak work ethic, imposing its ideas towards a form of cultural hegemony.

喜剧作为文化意识形态教育学的特洛伊木马：情景喜剧Las Fierbinți在罗马尼亚的霸权话语

罗马尼亚流行的情景喜剧Las Fierbinți是一种文化意识形态的教学工具，宣传城市中产阶级和新自由主义价值观。该节目嘲笑半农村居民，消极地描绘他们，暗示他们无法适应现代社会。多模态批评话语分析揭示了这部情景喜剧的民族教育目标，它通过推动几个关键主题来实现这一目标。该节目明确支持国家公共政策，将其定位为对农村无知和怀疑的胜利。它还支持文化进步主义，同时通过将经济停滞归因于个人道德失败和所谓的弱职业道德来加强新自由主义个人主义，将其思想强加给一种文化霸权形式。
