New Europe: Imagined Spaces traces the radical transformation of
European places and spaces over the last two decades. Instead of
the familiar 'schoolbook' map of a Europe of nation-states, the
book unpacks the differing imaginations of European identity in
recent years. Taking as its central problem the fluid nature of
cultural and political identity, it moves firmly away from - and
calls into question - the perspective of the nation-state as the
primary source of imagined identity for Europeans. The book
contributes to key debates, such as the emerging Europe of the
Regions and the return of the city-state, examines the 'rebranding'
of the nation-state and explores the impact of 'Europeanisation' on
existing place identity. Emphasising mobility and movement, the
chapters explore borderlands and travel, and also include a
detailed discussion of the 'everyday life' of Europeans.
Throughout, iconic images of contemporary Europe are invoked:
Eurodisney, the Reichstag, Barcelona's Ramblas and the Bilbao
Guggenheim, and the way in which mundane artefacts and practices
such as football, walking, cars, food, passports and the Euro help
construct identity is considered. New Europe: Imagined Spaces
adopts a multidisciplinary approach to studying Europe, providing
students with an exploration of contemporary European space and
place identity.
