Meeting Description: 

A Conference promoted by the Centre of Studies on Europe (TO-EU), the
Department of Culture, Politics and Society (University of Turin) and
supported by the Observatoire des discours d'Europe / Observatory on
Discourses on Europe (University of Franche Comté), the Department of
Economics (ESOMAS) – the Foreign Languages Section (University of Turin), the
Department of Modern Languages (University of Turin), the Department of
Linguistic Mediation Science and Intercultural studies (University of Milan) /
A l’initiative du Centro Studi sull’Europa (TO-EU) -
 Dipartimento di Culture, Politica e Società (Université de Turin), 

The issue of fear and its connections with politics is not new within
scientific studies and it has been analysed and discussed in many scholarly
works from different perspectives. In this sense, we can mention Delumeau’s
(1978, 1984), Shklar’s, Berchtold’s and Porret’s (1994) published writings,
without forgetting – for example – recent works written by Robin (2004),
Bucheron and Robin (2015) and Wodak (2015). It is clear that recently,
interest in the issue of fear has developed, chiefly in Europe, while also
characterizing current public and political debate.

More and more media reproduce and spread images of collective fears. Such
fears end up by nurturing reflection and debates about European values,
European borders and the European community’s ability to tackle with
globalization challenges. We often tend to discuss about Europe as if it were
at war not only with the “outside world” but also with its own “inside world”.
Looking at the latter, we can observe how ancient fears have re-emerged with a
new force and vitality (i.e. fear of poverty, anxiety for new diseases – i.e.
Ebola and AIDS – the fear of “others”, economic insecurity, the fear of an
apocalyptic end of humanity), whereas the new ones (terrorism, religious
integralism, global warming and its effects on the earth, the impact of
“technological progress” on public health: pollution, GMO’s, wifi, nuclear
energy, nanotechnology, the ambivalence of sexual genders) seem to strengthen
a sense of general insecurity, about the future of humanity and the actual
ability to develop a liveable kind of society. Many recent works have
emphasized these aspects not only in literature (Houllebecq, Submission 2015),
but also in economics, politics and journalism (Fuerstenberg 2007, Tremonti
2009, Garton and Ash and Franceschini 2013).

The upcoming Conference is going to develop a common reflection on the notions
of “counter-discourses” and “polemic” which were discussed by the network of
L'Observatoire des discourses sur l'Europe (http://disceurope.hypotheses.org),
respectively in Besancon (2013) and Brussels (2015).
