Abstract

Recent works commenting the role of various factors influencing characters of stereotypes of nations and ethnic groups point out the importance of the relationship between national identity and stereotypes of other groups. The author analyzes different theoretical attitudes towards this problem, therefore he presents four perspectives commenting this relationship: “psychological” perspective, the perspective stressing the idea of “main cultural core”, the attitude basing on the idea of “counter-ridentity” and the semiotic perspective.
