Europe Faces Europe

<p>How is Europe identified in narratives from its eastern periphery? This is the core question of this volume. Its chapters map narratives of Europe rooted in East Europe as they circulate in phenomenological philosophy news journalism social movements literary texts visual art and popular music. Whereas debate and research on European identity is normally conducted in self-congratulatory terms by core institutions in the centre the focus here is on how Europeanness is narrated in one of its most dynamic regions: Eastern Europe.
