‘His book includes at least one Irish joke, which Freud (above) considered very interesting. It’s an old joke, from the 19th century. And it must be said that, while few witticisms remain funny after Freud has analysed them, this one was struggling even before it reached the couch.’ >full text (c) THE IRISH TIMES

The Fiaker driving his horse-drawn carriage around Hofburg Palace, the café waiter serving a Melange, the local musicians entertaining guests at the local wine taverns (the Heuriger): stereotypical images that come up when you think of Vienna (and that are played on by the Austrian tourism industry). The exhibition Vienna Types – Cliché and Reality at the WienMuseum explains why, as it traces the stereotypoes back to the social history of the city. >full text

Yanko Tsvetkov’s stereotype maps
Posted in Uncategorized with tags America, Europe, maps, Stereotyping, Yanko Tsvetkov on 25 February 2012 by delclem
“It’s well known that Americans have a disarmingly blunt view of other nationalities, but seeing such brazen prejudices laid out, country by country, might shock even them. This is the world as depicted by graphic artist Yanko Tsvetkov. It is also a world in which gay men view Ireland as ‘being in denial’ and Greeks see the rest of Europe as a ‘Union of Stingy Workaholics’. Plus, read Tim Dowling’s interview with Yanko Tsvetkov: ‘Is it what they think of us?'” (c) THE GUARDIAN, 2012
