European cinema not only occupies a dominant place in film history, it is also a field that has been raising more interest with the expanding work on the transnational. Euro-Visions asks what idea of Europe emerges, is represented and constructed by contemporary European film. Adopting a broad and wide-ranging approach, Euro-Visions mixes political sources, historical documents and filmic texts and offers an integration of policy and economic contexts with textual analysis. Mariana Liz examines costume dramas, biopics and war films, mainstream co-productions and tales of 'Fortress Europe' by renowned auteurs, showing how films from different European nations depict and contribute to the formation of the idea of Europe. Case studies include Girl with a Pearl Earring, La Vie en Rose, Black Book, Good Bye Lenin!, Match Point and The Silence of Lorna.
Eurovisions: Identity and the International Politics of the Eurovision Song Contest since 1956 by Julie Kalman,Ben Wellings,Keshia Jacotine Pdf
This book uses the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC), as an analytical entry point to understand and illuminate post-War Europe and the drive to create an identity that can legitimise the European project in its broadest sense. The ESC presents an idealised vision of Europe, and this has long existed in a strained relationship with reality. While the trajectory of post-war European integration is a high-profile topic, we believe that the ESC offers a unique and innovative way to think about the role of culture in the history of post-War European integration and tensions between the ideal and reality of European unity. Through the series of case studies that make up the chapters in this book, analysis brings these interlinked tensions to light, exploring the roles of culture and identity, alongside and a productive conversation with the political and economic projects of post-war European integration.
Do you think the world of the Eurovision Song Contest, with its crazy props, even crazier dancers and crazier still songs has nothing to do with serious European politics? Think again. It has been a voice of rebellion across the Iron Curtain, an inspiration for new European nations in the 1990s and 2000s, the voice of liberation for both sexual and regional minorities. Eurovision charts both the history of Europe and the history of the Eurovision Song Contest over the last six decades, and shows how seamlessly they interlink - and what an amazing journey it has been.
The United States of Europe. A future vision on the European Union by Emmely Schröder Pdf
Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Cultural Studies - European Studies, grade: 2,3, http://www.uni-jena.de/, course: BA.IWK.P2, “Kulturspezifisches Wissen und Handeln Seminar Zielkultur” “Perspectives on Europe“(146262), language: English, abstract: The European Union is faced with interlinked challenges these days, a financial and social crisis together with an economic and political crisis. Likewise, there is a revive of an authoritarian Russia, a return of the `German problem` in form of a European wide austerity policy, the rise of secessionist movements in Scotland, Catalonia, and other regions, a European refugee crisis, the growing of sceptical voices against the European Union all over Europe and the insecurity that comes with the `Brexit`. Thus, the question arises how to overcome the current weakness, this crisis of confidence within the European system. It is widely discussed how the future Europe will look like and what needs to change. It is beyond dispute that something needs to Changes in order to save the European community. The answer could be a loose confederation or a full political integration, a “United States of Europe” with a centralized Power. In this paper, the federal model of the United States of Europe will be discussed, showing of the difficult situation in Europe nowadays and one out of many solutions for the European future. The idea of a federal Europe is not new and returned in the last few years and was widely discussed in politics, media and the public discussion. The further European integration should, referring to most spokesman, be done as a federal state following the model of the United States of America. It is a hypothetical model which cannot be implemented in short time and should be handled as a long-term project. Treaty changes, or even the approach of a constitution, are difficult and need to be well prepared in long political debates and votes. There are some main advocators of the model, especially in politics, to whom I will mainly refer to and create a comprising insight in this visionary concept. The current crisis reflects that something needs to be changed in the system to save Europe and not to lose all the things that have been achieved past years. The subject is not fully researched, reflecting the idea with different manifestations and variations. It is uncertain whether it will ever take place in Europe, and how exactly it would look like. For further european development the final goal of European Unification needs to be defined.
Visions and Revisions of Europe by Karolina Czerska-Shaw,Marcin Galent,Bożena Gierat-Bieroń Pdf
Visions and Revisions of Europe offers a multidisciplinary debate on the various political, social, and cultural issues that are at the heart of contemporary European discourse, with a focus on the relations between the so-called “New” and “Old” Europe. A range of possible scenarios for the future of the EU, as well as a discussion of the factors affecting current crises are at the forefront of the debate, which lead the reader to reflect upon often overlooked aspects of European integration, such as Germany’s hegemonic role in the Union, or historical narratives and myths that need to be deconstructed and critically analysed. Contemporary populist movements also play a key role, as do the often difficult processes of migration and EU mobility, which reveal the tensions, fears, and lines of exclusion in contemporary European societies. Finally, the role of values – namely an adherence to human rights and responsibility over the global social order – which in the 1970s was a cornerstone of EU discursive action and identity building, serves as a lasting point of reflection on the uncertain future of the EU’s axio-normative direction(s).
John White's watercolours of the flora, fauna and North Carolina Algonquians he encountered on the expedition sent by Walter Raleigh in 1585 are some of the greatest treasures of the British Museum; engraved by Theodor de Bry in 1590 to illustrate Thomas Harriot's A Briefe and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia , they informed and shaped Europe's view of America and its people for the next two centuries. This volume publishes a very successful interdisciplinary conference held in connection with the exhibition centred on John White, 'A New World: England's first view of America', with speakers from Europe, the USA and Britain, all of them experts in their fields. The varied and wide-ranging papers provided contextual and detailed information not covered in the exhibition catalogue and provide us with new ways of seeing and understanding both the European and Native American perspectives.
