In other words, it is important to discuss how reception history entered people’s lives: its notion is important in itself not only as a concept, but “as a method to investigate the dynamics of what is being ‘read’ in selected products from another culture.” The paper will investigate the history of the swastika since its European discovery in the 19th century, how it was perceived then and now and what impact it had on the European society.
