In the words of Ezra Talmor: To deal with European Culture in a
Changing World is to deal, in fact, with the reciprocal relation
between Politics and Economics on the one hand, and Culture on the
other. In an era when economic forces are pushing towards European
Economic Unity or towards the Globalisation of National Markets it
is rather difficult to demarcate the role of Culture. While the
European Narrative may have been written by Monnet, De Gaulle, and
Adenauer, the Global Narrative is written by an unknown author or
rather by Adam Smith's Invisible Hand. On the one hand the
postmodernist claim that the Grand Narrative is dead is given the
lie. A Grand Narrative is now being written not by Philosophers but
by Managers of Multinationals. The Foucauldian "ca parle" (it
speaks) is instantiated by the anonymous authors of the Global
Narrative. The question to be asked is: What will happen to the
rich mosaic of National European Cultures? The answer to this
question is not only a matter of National Memory and National
Identity, it is also a matter of the sources of cultural
creativity. L'Europe de nations may have been the theatre of
endless national wars but it was also the cradle of a very rich
mosaic of national cultures. The point is: how will creative genius
adapt to the two new trends - European Unification and Globalism?
This volume brings together essays by leading scholars in a myriad
of disciplines, all of which attempt to shed light on these
issues.Contributions by:Nicholas Perdikis, Shari L. Boyd, William A
