However, in the face of diverse national and regional traditions – and the absence of an obvious European cultural imaginary – the forging of a strong sense of European identity proves problematic. This volume brings together case studies of national and regional images from across Europe, which together suggest emerging patterns of identification within contemporary Europe – patterns which may not necessarily amount to a European ‘identity’, but rather to a European ‘mode’ of identification. The chronological structure of the volume demonstrates the increasingly problematic nature of national collective memories and past imaginaries in light of emergent marginal voices and images, and suggests that it is both from beyond and within the national paradigm that new challenges are now reshaping the cultural imaginary of European communities. Focusing on cultural images within film, literature, national narratives and myths, museum exhibitions and architecture, this volume is of interest to a wide variety of disciplines in the humanities, and presents an interdisciplinary approach to questions of cultural memory and identity formation.Studia imagologica ;15.Collective memoryEuropeGroup identityEuropeNational characteristics, EuropeanPopular cultureEuropeElectronic books.Collective memoryGroup identityNational characteristics, European.Popular culture303.66094Rorato Laura956348Saunders Anna956349MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455003003321The essence and the margin2165333UNINA
