[ecrea] New book: Signifying Europe

New book:

Johan Fornäs:/ Signifying Europe/
Bristol: Intellect Press
November 2011
384 pages (including some 60 illustrations in colour)

This book provides a systematic overview of the wide range of symbols 
used to represent Europe and Europeanness, both by the political elite 
and the broader public. Through a critical interpretation of the 
meanings of the various symbols - and their often contradictory or 
ambiguous dimensions - it uncovers how Europe currently identifies 
itself and is identified by others outside its borders. While the focus 
is on the European Union's symbols, those symbols are also interpreted 
in relation to other symbols of Europe.
