Abstract

The volume focuses on music during the process of European integration since the Second World War. Often music in Europe is defined by its relation to the concept of Occidentalism (Musik im Abendland; western music). The emphasis here turns rather to recent manifestations of its evolvement in ensembles, events, musical organisations and ideas; questions of unity and diversity from Bergen to Tel Aviv, from Lisbon to Baku; and deals with the tension between local, regional and national music within the larger confluence of European music. The status of classical and avante-garde music, and to a degree rock and pop, during Europe's development the past sixty years are also reviewed within the context of eurocentrism - the domination of European music within world music, a term propagated by anthropologists and ethnomusicologists several decades ago and based on multiculturalism. Conversely, the search for a musical European identity and the ways in which this search has in turn been influenced by multiculturalism is an ongoing, dynamic process.

Abstract

An exploration of the legacy of The Waste Land on the centenary of its original publication, looking at the impact it had had upon criticism and new poetries across one hundred years. T. S. Eliot first published his long poem The Waste Land in 1922. The revolutionary nature of the work was immediately recognised, and it has subsequently been acknowledged as one of the most influential poems of the twentieth century, and as crucial for the understanding of modernism. The essays in this collection variously reflect on The Waste Land one hundred years after its original publication. At this centenary moment, the contributors both celebrate the richness of the work, its sounds and rare use of language, and also consider the poem's legacy in Britain, Ireland, and India. The work here, by an international team of writers from the UK, North America, and India, deploys a range of approaches. Some contributors seek to re-read the poem itself in fresh and original ways; others resist the established drift of previous scholarship on the poem, and present new understandings of the process of its development through its drafts, or as an orchestration on the page. Several contributors question received wisdom about the poem's immediate legacy in the decade after publication, and about the impact that it has had upon criticism and new poetries across the first century of its existence. An Introduction to the volume contextualises the poem itself, and the background to the essays. All pieces set out to review the nature of our understanding of the poem, and to bring fresh eyes to its brilliance, one hundred years on. Contributors: Rebecca Beasley, Rosinka Chaudhuri, William Davies, Hugh Haughton, Marjorie Perloff, Andrew Michael Roberts, Peter Robinson, Michael Wood.

Abstract

Collective identities – national, regional, local, religious, linguistic – are all constructed as opposed to an “other” which is constructed in alterity. They are established by historiography, art, and media. The contributions in this volume analyze characteristics and strategies of European and non-European identity discourses. Der Begriff, die Funktion und die Relevanz von ‚Identität‘ werden in unterschiedlichen geistes- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen sehr kontrovers diskutiert. Der vorliegende Band befördert den inter- und transdisziplinären Dialog, indem er Beiträge aus der Anglistik, Ethnologie, Geschichte, Politikwissenschaft, Psychologie, Slavistik und Islamwissenschaft versammelt. Sie analysieren Merkmale und Strategien inner- und außereuropäischer Identitätsdiskurse – nationale, regionale, lokale, religiöse, sprachliche – und widmen sich Themen wie der Bildung „verspäteter Nationen“ (Deutschland, Italien, Ukraine), Konflikten zwischen kulturellen und nationalen Identitätskonzepten, der Abgrenzung von einem als Alterität markierten ‚Anderen‘, Strategien der Etablierung und Kritik von Identitätsdiskursen in Geschichtsschreibung, Literatur und Medien sowie der Funktionalisierung von Ursprungsmythen in den imagined communities nationalistischer Ideologien.

Abstract

This book systematically and consistently analyses a wide range of symbols for Europe, critically interpreting their often contradictory or ambiguous dimensions of meaning and uncovering several astonishing aspects of how Europe is currently identified - from above by the political elites as well as from below in critical arts or everyday life; from the inside by European actors but also from the outside by its surrounding others. The focus is on the European Union's main symbols, but they are interpreted in relation to a diverse range of other alternatives, so as to uncover the main facets of

Abstract

The theme of Europeanization has, in recent years, come to figure prominently in a wide range of social science analyses concerning both the process of European integration and broader patterns of change in contemporary Europe. Yet, though increasingly a staple of academic discourse, no widely accepted definition of the term has emerged. This volume of the European Studies represents one of the first interdisciplinary attempts to examine the manifold uses and possibilities of a Europeanization problematic. An international team of contributors drawn from the disciplines of Politics, Sociology, History, Anthropology, and Law explore processes of institution-building and identity formation through the optic of Europeanization. Their work offers new insights as regards the development of European integration, pointing particularly to the need for a genuinely interdisciplinary European Studies which encompasses, but is not limited to, the study of the European Union.

Abstract

Mit dem Begriff der Nation entwirft Marcus Koch einen Entwicklungsschritt für die Europäische Integration, durch den diese in den Herzen und Köpfen der Menschen stabilisiert werden kann. Er zeigt den Nutzen und das Potenzial der Nation als modernes politisches Strukturmerkmal in einer Zeit auf, in der die Probleme einer stetig komplexer werdenden Umwelt die Gesellschaft in Europa immer stärker unter Druck setzen. In den Zeiten einer in der öffentlichen Diskussion beschädigt scheinenden Europäischen Einigung werden so Anregungen für ein Weiterdenken über den Stand der derzeitigen Europäischen Union hinaus geboten. Besprochen in: Deutschlandfunk - Andruck, 18.11.2019, Matthias Bertsch
