Identity is a keyword in a number of academic fields as well as in
public debate and in politics. During the last decades, references
to identity have proliferated, yet there is no simple definition
available that corresponds to the use of the notion in all
contexts. The significance of the notion depends on the conceptual
or ideological constellation in which it takes part. This volume on
one hand demonstrates the role of notions of identity in a variety
of European contexts, and on the other hand highlights how there
may be reasons to challenge the use of the term and corresponding
social, cultural, and political practices. Notions of national
identity and national politics are challenged by European
integration, as well as by the increasing demographic heterogeneity
due to migration, and migrants experience conflicts of
identification stemming from clashes between cultural heritage and
the cultures of the new habitat. European horizons - frames of
mind, historical memories, and expectations at the level of groups
or communities, at the national level, and at the general European
level - are at odds. Analyzing a series of issues in European
countries from Turkey to Spain and from Scandinavia to the Balkans,
the contributions demonstrate uses and abuses of the notion of
identity.
