Imagined or Real Divides?

  • Chapter
Transcultural Europe

Abstract

This chapter will explore how real obstacles to political and cultural integration of Europe are emphasized by the imaginary ones through focusing on real debates carried out in different communities at the periphery of the EU and on empirical data relevant to ‘border crossing’, cultural communication patterns, as well as ‘cultural diplomacy’ policies within the European space. We will take into account the relevant political documents and social research analysis, but also media discourse and art practices in order to investigate and debate new European mobility (nomadism).
