CALL FOR PAPERS: Workshop on European Identity in Times of Crisis, 11-12 June 2012
European University Institute, Florence (in collaboration with the University of
Florence)
=========================================================================
ABSTRACT DEADLINE: 19 March
FULL PAPER DEADLINE: 15 May
Europe today appears to stumble from one 'crisis' to the next. The Euro crisis has no
doubt caught everyone's attention, with daily news headlines reporting on the next big
summit to save the common currency, another adjusted credit rating, or some 'scandalous'
Greek or Hungarian government expenditure. In the wake of that crisis, some openly
discuss the possibility that the European Union itself may in fact be in jeopardy and
that the period of European integration may slowly reach a standstill, with the fall of
the Euro paving the way.
Since the start of the project of European integration, a European collective identity
has been fostered with some degree of success. The social, political, cultural, and
geographical perceptions that Europeans have of each other have radically changed in the
last decades, and the EU (broadly including its various projects such as the Euro,
Schengen, etc.) has been the single most important institutional structure to have
contributed to that. This organization appears to have been quite successful in tying
identifications with 'Europe' to itself in a variation of the traditional notion of a
'civic' identity instead of the rather vague 'cultural' notion of 'Europe' that arguably
preceded it. If this is true, then what happens to that European identity now that the
institutional shell of European integration appears to be faltering, at least for the
time being?
We invite paper submissions for participation in a workshop on precisely these topics,
and on contemporary identification with Europe more broadly. We will select full paper
proposals based on abstracts to be submitted before 19 March (see below). For full
details we refer to the attached call for papers, or to www.imagining.eu/workshop for
an updated overview.
