Abstract:

Based on empirical research, this book closely analyses how European
identities are discursively produced. It focuses on discourse from members of
a civic association active in promoting democracy and attempting participation
in the transnational public sphere.

Unlike previous books that have addressed the question of European identity
from top-down stances or through methodological nationalism, this book engages
with the multifaceted concept of transnationalism as a key to the negotiation
of 'glocal' identities. Applying a discourse historical approach (DHA) through
a transnational reading, it shows how grassroots actors/speakers construct
their different cultural and political affiliations as both world and European
citizens. They negotiate institutional identities and historical discourses of
nationhood through new forms of mobility, cultural diversity and the
imagination of Europe as a proxy for a cosmopolitan civil society. These
discourses are ever more important in a fractured and polarised Europe falling
prey to contrary discourses of nationhood and ethnic solidarity.

Highlighting how transnational narratives of solidarity and the
de-territorialisation of civic participation can impact on the (re)imagination
of the European community beyond tropes like 'Fortress Europe' or
intragovernmental politics, this important book shows how identification
processes must be read through historical and global as well as localised
contexts.
