"How do young people construct their identities in the complexity of their own country, belonging to the European Union, and being part of global society? This book is based on a unique empirical study of a thousand young people, aged between eleven and nineteen, from fifteen European countries. Covering East European states that joined the EU between 2004 and 2008, and the candidate states of Macedonia, Turkey, Iceland and Croatia, the complex interwoven narratives of young Europeans present an intricate and intriguing analysis of how identities are constructed. Alistair Ross offers a significant original contribution to the literature on identities, providing a wealth of cross-national data and a wide range of significant theoretical possibilities across a group of related disciplinary areas. Fluid narratives of the self are shown to constitute a rich pattern that varies and modifies as it is seen through the different lenses of national culture, European institutions, and of outsiders. Themes explored include: - the construction of identity - the ability to express multiple identities - agency and liminality - what being a European might mean - an emerging sense of contemporary nationalism and patriotism. This book explains how young people frame their identities, drawing on discourses of culture and society and constructing them through interchanges with friends, family and the media. It will be of interest to academics and researchers in the fields of political sociology, education, European studies, and ethnicity and identity studies."--

European identity has always been in a state of construction. With the creation of the European Union, however, this construction now takes place within an institutional framework, introducing a number of new variables. Selcen .ner's Turkey and the European Union: The Question of European Identity is an in-depth analysis of the influence of these two entities on each others' identity as Europeans in a society of increasing social, political, and cultural connectedness.

Reveals the important role of Churches in the politics of Britain and united Europe. This book, linking Christian leaders and politicians, shows the conflicting relationships between national identity and Christian universalism, and between Britain as a one-time world power, a European nation, and junior partner in the 'transatlantic alliance'

Driften die europäischen Staaten nach 60 Jahren der immer intensiveren und weiträumigeren Integration wieder auseinander? Geht uns der Sinn für die europäischen Gemeinsamkeiten verloren? Die "Europäischen Erinnerungsorte" sind ein Beitrag zur Standortbestimmung. Autorinnen und Autoren aus mehr als 15 Ländern folgen der Annahme, dass es eine Vielzahl von Erinnerungsorten gibt, die für Europäer aller Länder eine Bedeutung haben, die ihre Identität mitformen und die wir mitdenken, wenn wir "Europa" sagen. Erstmals werden nicht die Erinnerungsorte einer einzelnen Nation, Region oder Epoche beschrieben, sondern Konzepte, Plätze, Ereignisse, Kunstwerke, Konsumgegenstände, die gesamteuropäisch von Bedeutung sind. Der erste Band des Werks behandelt, ausgehend vom Mythos Europa, grundlegende Faktoren des europäischen Selbstverständnisses, zum Beispiel Christentum, Judentum, Antike, Aufklärung, Gewaltenteilung. Menschenrechte, Himmelsrichtungen, Sprachenvielfalt, Friedensvisionen, Das Europa der Kriege, Europas Wirtschaftsbegriff. Zum Gesamtwerk gehören noch die Bände 2 "Das Haus Europa" und Band 3 "Europa und die Welt".
