This book was released on 2015-10-31 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume adopts a multidisciplinary and novel approach to the historical evolution of identities in Europe -- especially the identities that are connected with regions as pluralist, processual social constructs, serving in dialogue and/or conflict with the emerging nation-state. Here history, anthropology, human geography and cultural sciences meet to discuss how regionalizing identities of various kinds were continuously created, challenged, and redefined, how they were experienced and expressed, and to what extent they produced feelings of attachment. Spatial, social, cultural and political foundations and manifestations of identities in Europe are historical phenomena. Their changes and forms can help us to understand essential traits of European societies in time and space, including the development of differences and similarities, degrees of attachment and the dynamics of physical and mental borders. By drawing on a wide range of sources -- from historiography to interviews, devotional and hagiographical texts to pamphlets, songs and architecture -- as expressions of evolving identities, this volume presents an innovative approach to understanding identity formation in Europe as an historical force, using the region as a multi-layered and processual key concept.
Book Synopsis Regionalism and Modern Europe by : Xosé M. Núñez Seixas
Download or read book Regionalism and Modern Europe written by Xosé M. Núñez Seixas and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a valuable overview of regionalism throughout the entire continent, Regionalism in Modern Europe combines both geographical and thematic approaches to examine the origins and development of regional movements and identities in Europe from 1890 to the present. A wide range of internationally renowned scholars from the USA, the UK and mainland Europe are brought together here in one volume to examine the historical roots of the current regional movements, and to explain why some of them - Scotland, Catalonia and Flanders, among others – evolve into nationalist movements and even strive for independence, while others – Brittany, Bavaria – do not. They look at how regional identities - through regional folklore, language, crafts, dishes, beverages and tourist attractions - were constructed during the 20th century and explore the relationship between national and subnational identities, as well as regional and local identities. The book also includes 7 images, 7 maps and useful end-of-chapter further reading lists. This is a crucial text for anyone keen to know more about the history of the topical – and at times controversial – subject of regionalism in modern Europe.

Book Synopsis The Races of Europe by : Richard McMahon
Download or read book The Races of Europe written by Richard McMahon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores a vital but neglected chapter in the histories of nationalism, racism and science. It is the first comprehensive study of the transnational scientific community that in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries attempted to classify Europe's biological races. Anthropological race classifiers produced parallel geographies, histories and hierarchies of European peoples that were crucial to the creation of national identities and to the overtly political race discourses of eugenics and popular racist ideologues. They lent nationalism the invaluable prestige of natural science, and traced the histories, conflicts and relationships of ‘national races’ back into prehistory. Racial national character stereotypes meanwhile supported competing political ideologies. The book examines the interplay between class, gender and national identity narratives and the tensions and interactions between the scientific and political agendas of classifiers. Within the elaborate transnational networks of scientific communities, for example, they had to reconcile competing national narratives.

Book Synopsis Regions and Regionalism in Europe by : Michael Keating
Download or read book Regions and Regionalism in Europe written by Michael Keating and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last half century has seen the rise across Europe of a new intermediate level of government and politics, usually referred to as a region. However the term 'region' means many different things and can be approached from many different angles - geographical, historical, cultural, social, economic and political. Although it is in Europe that regionalism as a multiform phenomenon has developed furthest, the European experience resonates in other parts of the world, where some of these elements also exist. In this volume, Michael Keating has selected some of the most significant previously published articles which provide a comprehensive overview of past and current thinking on this subject.
Book Synopsis The Evolution of European Identities by : Graham Day
Download or read book The Evolution of European Identities written by Graham Day and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'European project' is in a state of perpetual crisis in which the root cause is a lack of identification by ordinary citizens with Europe and European institutions. The Evolution of European Identities employs state of the art analysis of in-depth interviews by renowned practitioners to give a unique 'bottoms up' perspective on the development (or its lack) of a sense of 'European mental space'. Linking conceptual findings with case studies, the book provides unique insights into groups that have been especially sensitized by their life experiences to question what it means to be European in the twenty-first century. The groups explored in this book include: adults who experienced European education exchanges when young; transnational workers; civil society organization activists; persons involved in cross-border intimate relationships; farmers who are subject to European markets, regulations and subsidies; and migrants into 'fortress Europe'.

Book Synopsis The Rise and Fall of the Danish Empire by : Michael Bregnsbo
Download or read book The Rise and Fall of the Danish Empire written by Michael Bregnsbo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-07 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the Danish Empire, which for over four hundred years stretched from Northern Norway to Hamburg and was feared by small German principalities to the South. Evolving over time, it has included most of Scandinavia and the North Atlantic, has shifted from a Western orientation under the Vikings to an Eastern one in the Middle Ages, and from a North Sea Empire to a Baltic Empire. From the seventeenth to the early twentieth century, it comprised small overseas colonies in India, Africa and the Caribbean. Exploring the rise and fall of Denmark's Kingdom, from 9 AD to the present, this textbook considers how such vast empires were kept together through ideology and symbols, military force, transport systems and networks of civil servants. The authors demonstrate how the lands under Danish rule included a variety of religious groups, social and economic structures, law systems, and ethnic and linguistic groups. They also consider the economic and ideological benefit of an empire structure in comparison to a nation state. Providing a detailed overview of the long history of the Danish Empire, whilst also confronting current debate and providing novel interpretations, this book offers an original, imperial and multi-territorial perspective on the history of the Danish state, providing essential reading for students of Danish or Scandinavian history and European or Global empires.

Book Synopsis Europe and the Other and Europe as the Other by : Bo Stråth
Download or read book Europe and the Other and Europe as the Other written by Bo Stråth and published by Peter Lang Pub Incorporated. This book was released on 2000 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bruxelles, Bern, Berlin, Frankfurt/M., New York, Oxford, Wien. This book contributes to the debate on what Europe is by demonstrating the complexities and contradictions inherent in the concept. They are seen most clearly when Europe is viewed from a long historical perspective. During the closing decades of the twentieth century Europe emerged as one of the main points of reference in both the cultural and the political constructs of the global community. An obsession with the concept of European identity is identifiable. European identity is usually seen in relation to national identity, either in an uneasy opposition to it, that is, as an alternative to the nation, or in a situation in which it overlaps with and complements the nation. The structure of national identify is projected onto European identity, and this projection has an ideological underpinning, for no projection is ever non-interested or non-ideological. This process of identity construction provokes searching questions which the book aims to address. At the same time the book explores the opportunities offered by the concept of Europe to see how it may be used in the construction of the future. The approach is one of both deconstruction and reconstruction. The issue of Europe is closely related in the book to more general issues relating to the cultural construction of community. The book should therefore be seen as the companion of Myth and Memory in the Construction of Community, which also is published by PIE-Peter Lang in the series Multiple Europes.
