Re-Thinking Europe: Literature and (Trans)National Identity. (Textxet Studies in Comparative Literature)
33
 
 
Re-Thinking Europe: Literature and (Trans)National Identity. (Textxet Studies in Comparative Literature)Re-Thinking Europe sets out to investigate the place of the idea of Europe in literature and comparative literary studies. The essays in this collection turn to the past, in which Europe became synonymous with a tradition of peace and tolerance beyond national borders, and enter into a critical dialogue with the present, in which Europe has increasingly become associated with a history of oppression and violence. The different essays together demonstrate how the idea of Europe cannot be thought apart from the tension between the regional and the global, between nationalism and pluralism, and can therefore be re-thought as an opportunity for an identity beyond national or ethnic borders.
