[Commlist] pre-call: Europe in Discourse IV

*Mark your calendars*

*Europe in Discourse IV*

*September 26-28, 2024*

**

Last September (23-25, 2022) Europe in Discourse III: Tracing Identity 
through Values, History and Borders proved to be the focal point where 
different perspectives about Europe are discussed and disciplines meet 
to understand those constitutive elements that pull Europe together. As 
with the previous two Conferences in 2016 and 2018, Europe in Discourse 
III successfully gathered well-known policy experts, historians, 
discourse analysts, authors, and public intellectuals with a committed 
shared interest in Europe and the European Union.

The tradition of the three influential international conferences brought 
us before the realization that Europe has a long tradition of 
self-images and foundational elements which it continually needs to draw 
upon to understand and reform itself. Indeed, the themes discussed 
during the Conferences, such as values, history and borders reverberate 
differently across disciplines and across the network of conference 
participants. Conference discussions, so far, have given new impetus to 
the discourses of and about Europe but they have also converged in 
making us understand that to know Europe means to also know the plethora 
of aspects and elements it represents.

Inspired by the task of making Europe in Discourse a genuinely open 
conference Europe in Discourse IV deepens the dialogue about Europe by 
foregrounding an expanded list of elements that constitute it: its 
cultural and artistic heritage, its historical foundations, the 
value-driven principles it subscribes to, its borders and geography, and 
of course the more recent establishment of the European Union as a 
supranational entity. It will continue to highlight Europe through its 
foundational mobilizing values and call for further and more expanded 
discussions to explore the moral orientation of Europe’s citizens. All 
these elements beg attention to deepen our understanding of what Europe 
is and see through the paths that it chooses to walk in the future.
