Discursive Negotiations of Cultural Identity and Europe’s Eastern RimSince 1989, Europe’s eastern rim has been in constant flux. This collection focuses on how political and economic transformations have triggered redefinitions of cultural identity. Using discursive modes of identity construction (deconstruction, reconstruction, reformulation, and invention) the book focuses on the creation of opposition to old and new 'outsiders' and 'insiders' in Europe. The linguistic study of discourse elements in connection with an exploration of the significance of metaphors in anchoring individual and collective identity is innovative and allows for a unique analysis of public discourse in Europe.Multilingual MattersDiscourse analysisPolitical aspectsNationalismIdentity (Psychology)EthnicityEurope, EasternPolitics and government1989-Discourse analysisPolitical aspects.Nationalism.Identity (Psychology)Ethnicity.401/.410947Saric Ljiljana0MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807228803321Contesting Europe's eastern rim4071686UNINA
