2012
Abstract
Stereotypes are important factors in perceiving others and especially the "foreigners" from another group, whether they are defined on an ethnic basis, or on another. In my chapiter I také another perspective - from the viewpoint of the actors themselves, who are members of the Hungarian foreign community, and their perception of their own image by the majority, i.e. the Czech society.I observe the confrontation of the autostereotype with the Czech heterostereotype, i.e.
I describe the reflection of the stereotypical picture of the Hungarians by the Czechs and I furthermore observe how the Hungarians perceive this picture.
