Alimentary models of the imaginative Other
The article is devoted to the analysis of the imaginative Other/Alien through the prism of alimentary culture, as this is one of the basic aspects of the perception of the Other. In the era of Wi-Fi and universal computerization, the World Wide Web is becoming the most accessible source of information for the masses. The authors analyze queries in the search engines of the Russian Internet to identify the most particular stereotypes about the alimony behavior of the other. In the course of the work, ethnic groups were identified for further analysis, and the most popular Internet requests related to the perception of alimentary patterns of these ethnic groups and the construction of ideas about them were chosen. This allowed us to identify 37 conventional features, the relationship between which were identified using mathematical methods of matrix construction and statistical calculations based on Pearson's formula. The analysis helped to isolate three conditional models of the Imaginary Other, two of which belong to the far Eastern region. Each image included both the real facts of alimony culture and stereotypes born of fear of alien-aggressor, which are in the planes of fear that he will eat our food, and fear that we will become his food ourselves.
