Description
Introduction The object of the article is closely related to a necessity to analyse and to define peculiarities of modern cultural changes under the global transformation which is inseparably related to dilemmas of modern European and Lithuanian self-identity. Nowadays world area reveals some unique multicultural images and symbols of globality. For this reason, European and national identities are experiencing major changes. They are not finite and static but changing, constantly shaped and reconstructed. It is completely unclear, how global transformations effect the processes of national culture, cultural images or identities. Global reality dictates new cultural features with respect to them in modernity or postmodernity. Virtual nature of the information and the new media culture has a significant influence on self-identity and manifestation of new cultural images. This means that in the modern world there are no longer any closed ethnic communities and cultures. All of them are running and associating with the global new media dictated images, forms of cultural production and the mass flows. The processes of globalization, changing the national culture, promote the emergence of multicultural process. Therefore, in the context of the global transformation, European identity is a unique multicultural phenomenon just as a national cultural identification.
