Bruxelles, Bern, Berlin, Frankfurt/M., New York, Oxford, Wien,
2000. num. ill. and graph. Multiple Europes. Vol. 13 General
Editor: Bo Strath. This book is the result of an experiment in
advanced teaching and learning which took place as a joint effort
of the Departments of History at the European University Institute,
Florence, and at New York University in the years 1996-1999. The
experiment brought together fifteen graduate students and six
professors from the two institutions, and included two workshops
and a conference, in which also other scholars participated. Junior
and senior scholars explored how and to what extent reciprocal
exchanges between Europe and the USA in the period from the end of
the XVIIIth century to the present were connected with and
meaningful for their researches. The papers that have emerged from
this approach also discuss the methodology of history: issues such
as the relations between representations, identities, material
production and consumption are challenged. The reciprocity of
European representations of America and of American visions of
Europe comes out clearly as does the impossibility of studying the
symbolic considering the material and vice versa. Contents:
