Journal Title: Zabawy i Zabawki. Studia Antropologiczne - Year 2017, Vol 15, Issue
Abstract
Mimicry is one of the four categories in the typology of Roger Cailloisa. Associated with the world of fiction, an imitation of a different reality, illusion, dressing and masking. Social relationships by Goffman can be compared to the theater in which people play certain roles (see: Goffman 1981). Contemporary popular culture, known as the culture of consumerism is characterized by the worship of the stars of the world of film, stage, commercials and sports. Celebrities are people who have gained a great deal of popularity. There are seen as role models and authority, a symbol of wealth and fame. Young people playing social roles mimic popular people, create a different reality to which they want to belong. Imitation is associated with elements of popular culture such as the cult of the body, clothing, shopping. To warp mimicry occurs when a unit of imitating other forgets its own personality and identity.
