romantilisi

Romantilisi is a neologism used in contemporary sociocultural discourse to describe the act or tendency of romanticizing reality. The term is often used to denote how people, brands, or media frame everyday experiences, landscapes, or relationships through idealized, cinematic, or emotionally heightened portrayals, sometimes obscuring less flattering aspects. Etymology: the word appears to be formed from the root 'romantic' with a derivational suffix common in some languages to form abstract nouns, though precise origin and canonical spelling vary; it is not widely standardized in major dictionaries. Usage and scope: In media studies and consumer culture, romantilisi denotes strategies that valorize nostalgia, chivalric or fairy-tale tropes, or sentimental aesthetics to shape audience perception and behavior. In social psychology, it is discussed as a cognitive or cultural bias contributing to expectations in dating, travel, and lifestyle. Criticism: Some scholars caution that the term covers a broad set of phenomena and risks overgeneralization; others note it may pathologize normal appreciation of beauty. Relationship to related concepts: closely aligned with romanticization, idealization, aestheticization, and escapism. See also: romanticization, idealization, nostalgia, media framing.
