As the EU continues its integration process, the concepts of
culture and transnational European belonging remain ambivalent,
whether in the realm of socio-historical representation or mass
politics. Engaging with recent scholarly debates surrounding the
formation of collective transnational identities, this collection
draws on the latest empirical case studies to explore the meaning
and composition of European identity, the mechanisms that create
and shape it and the question of whom it includes. Each author pays
close attention to the cultural aspects of identity formation,
whether manifested in official, institutional articulations, such
as symbols, coinage, ceremonies and discursive manifestations, or
in the cultures of the everyday, such as through new forms of
communication networks, consumption or leisure. Exploring attempts
by various actors - institutions, groups, individuals - to create
transnational European identities, European Identity and Culture
scrutinizes the cultural formations that have either reignited or
emerged in often contradictory relations to the EU project,
including local, regional and transnational allegiances. A rich,
interdisciplinary investigation of the role of culture in the
formation of European identity, whether as a central building block
to unity or as a formidable obstacle to a common sense of purpose,
this book will be of interest to scholars across the social
sciences and humanities working on questions of political culture,
European integration, citizenship and (trans-) national identity.
